It's nice to see some news of David Fincher's highly anticipated next movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starting to trickle out. The above shot (via Towleroad) is of an elderly infant Brad Pitt... yes, it makes sense if you know Fitzgerald's story on which the film is based.
Secondly, via Cinematical, comes this tidbit via somebody behind-the-scenes who's seen some footage:
Loose talk, loose talk! To be honest, what's striking me most about this news is thinking of a Fincher movie as "emotional"... I love the man, but his films tend to strike me more on an intellectual level than an emotional one, so I'm curious (ha!) to see what will happen when he aims for, what I'm assuming, is romance. A screwed-up, off-kilter sorta romance, but still.
Is it weird that I already feel like I'm going to absolutely love this movie? That I'm already etching it's place in #1 status for 2008? Is this what they fear all this "loose talk" will bring? Unreasonable expectations? Whoopsie! Well we won't know until post-Thanksgiving anyway; the film's out November 26th.

"... some of the sequences they saw that had been edited were absolutely stunning. Her description of the mood of those who worked on it is that of bated breath -- a near universal belief that they have made an outstanding and moving film, one that transcends and one they wish not to jinx by too much loose talk."
