David Fincher has been working to bring F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story to the big screen for years. This December 19th, his vision will finally be realized in a movie that will surely be one of 2008's Oscar contenders. A foreign trailer has been leaking around the net (you might just find it if you look hard enough) and it looks quite good. Brad Pitt stars as Button, a man who was born old and ages in reverse. At 50, he meets and falls in love with a 30-year old woman named Daisy ( Cate Blanchett ) and as their relationship blooms, the two are aging in opposite directions. While on the course of his most unusual life, Button experiences life in reverse, from a withered old man to a war vet to a soldier to college, prep school and, ultimately, a newborn baby. This most unusual story is adapted for the screen by Eric Roth, whose acclaimed list of credits includes Forrest Gump , The Horse Whisperer and Munich . We'll bring you more on this highly original project as we hear it! Next Showing: Link | Posted 6/11/2008 by Jeff Brad Pitt | David Fincher | Cate Blanchett | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ...
