I see aruments are growing between Paramount staff and Fincher, and it's really difficult to determine who's right and who's wrong.
I just hope Fincher doesn't try too hard to make this film suitable for the academy and to just get the award. If it is so, then he is a real bastard. But if the guy just wants to make the best film of the year and doesn't care whether it will win or lose the award, then he is making masterpiece and people just don't get this.
Don't forget that it always happens, and one of the best examples of such attitude was with Cameron and Fox. And as we know today, Cameron knew what he was doing. However, there are still many instants, when studios actually win.
I'm seeing more tv spots and it just looks beautiful.
And about Fincher, the studio execs are most likely exagerating. It was probably playful and sarcastic. These rich snobby execs take things out of hand.
Clooney punching Russell was what I was referring to, sorry i was not more clear.
The movie's getting pretty positive reviews overall. Newsweek seemed to have the most well, how to say it, evenhanded I guess. They didn't overly gush over it and they presented some thought out valid, criticisms.
The feeling I'm getting though from the really gushy stuff and the more positive reviews is that this is basically a darker Forrest Gump. It seems the main romantic pairing evolves in a very similar fashion to Forrest Gump and Jenny.
I saw a sneak preview of this film already and i have to say that the cgi is incredible but this film is just way too long. Its a 2:45 minute film.
If you cut out the scenes
when benjamin has an affair with a married women, the beginning and end that involved a blind mans clock that went in reverse, and some of the scenes involving the old woman and her daughter in the hospital
then you would have a perfect film unfortunatly those scenes are still in the film and it just makes it drag on and on. I left the theater feeling indifferent about the film bcause part of me enjoyed it and part of me just wanted it to end
This film is no Titanic, it doesn't deserve an Oscar for best picture. Brad Pitt could win best actor though, his performance was phenominal

David Fincher's anticipated The Curious Case of Benjamin Button opens on Christmas Day and in the following clip, Cate Blanchett talks about her preparation for playing Daisy and you'll get to watch a scene from the film.
But the other posters don't really tell you anything about the film except "OMGTEHBRADISINIT!!!1!!". This poster actually alludes to the plot and has a very good focal point of interest. If I were walking through a movie theatre and I saw this it would definitely stop me dead in my tracks, unlike the rather underwhelming ones they released.
