'Benjamin Button' Extended TV Spot!
Filed under: Drama, Mystery & Suspense, Fandom, Brad Pitt, Movie Marketing, Trailers and Clips
Unfortunately, I did not manage to catch this extended TV spot for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button during NBC's Olympic coverage, though, luckily, one person did. I imagine this will eventually become the film's second trailer, and it'll hopefully arrive online in a higher quality at some point this week, but for the time being you can scope out a somewhat decent (except for the annoying beeps here and there) video of the spot above (courtesy of The Tube).
Some of what's included here is also in the film's first trailer (catch that in HD on the flick's official website), but we also have a bunch more dialogue, tons of amazing visuals and .... well, watch for yourself. While you never know what the final product will deliver, I can say this film is showing some tremendous, buzz-worthy promise right now -- especially with a director like David Fincher and a cast that includes Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett (last time these two shared the screen, Babel was nominated for seven Oscars). Needless to say, I'm preemptively putting this on my top ten list for 2008 and crossing my fingers at the same time.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button arrives in theaters on December 19.

Uh...yeah. This could potentially be incredible.

I also caught this on TV last night. Kind of freaky-looking (the old baby is gruesome!), but interesting.

And I just found out that F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote the original story. Now it sounds VERY interesting! (Sorry for the double post.)

Even more so because Fitzgerald's original is a thin little bit of nothing. I wouldn't think you could squeeze an Oscar-contender out of it. But hey, they did it for Brokeback Mountain!
