A CURIOUS LEAK...
For those of you who, like me, enjoy carefully examining every minor pebble on the road to the Oscars, I'd encourage you to check out this recently-leaked, Spanish-dubbed trailer of the David Fincher film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (12/19, Paramount), which was adapted from a 1922 F. Scott Fitzgerald short story and stars Brad Pitt, as a man who inexpicably begins aging backwards, as well as Oscar winners Cate Blanchett (who played his wife in Babel) and Tilda Swinton (who will next appear opposite him and George Clooney in the Coens' Burn After Reading, a September release). I'd get on this pronto because someone—presumably at Paramount or maybe at Warner Brothers, which is handling the film's international distribution—is pushing hard to have this taken down. I'm not as big on Fincher or Pitt as most people, but I will certainly grant that their two previous collaborations, Se7en (1995) and Fight Club (1999), were pretty damn good, and this next one has really got me revved up...
