Rate-a-Trailer: Making a Case for Benjamin Button
Mon., Sep. 29, 2008 2:42 PM PDT by Peter Gicas
The latest trailer for Brad Pitt's upcoming flick The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has just been released, and we found that the more we watched it and the more we thought about the movie's premise of a guy who is born old and ages backward, the more our heads hurt trying to figure out the logic behind it all.
But then we decided to stop overanalyzing and simply appreciate what appears to be a truly beautiful film based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and helmed by Pitt's Fight Club director, David Fincher.
So what do you think? Will audiences embrace this fantasy-drama, or will it just end up pushing people's, er, buttons?
