The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button Trailer

We finally have a substantial trailer for Fincher's beguiling new movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, based on a short story by F.Scott Fitzgerald ( I heard a story that the F stands for fuckin, named so that he would always get a notable introduction. And by 'heard' I mean I heard it just now when I read that out loud). This new trailer actually allows you to get a sense of the movie rather than teasing you with abstractions (though there are still plenty of them left).

Maybe there's almost too much revealed in this trailer but it certainly tantalises and shows Fincher's visual flair. It's all lightyears away from the last Fincher-Pitt collaboration in Fight Club but don't be surprised if it climbs up to the top of peoples' favourite movie lists just as fast as that nihilistic modern classic*

*Modern classic = one of those movies that magazine readers with goldfish memories who never watch black & white movies always vote towards the top of their all-time best movie lists, only to watch it slide slowly down the list as time goes on. (Fight Club is still great but Tyler Durden was recently voted the greatest movie character of all time by Empire readers - we beg to differ - It's clearly, Roger Rabit)
