The costume design of ‘Benjamin Button’
Paramount Pictures has put together a brilliant little FYC site for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” that I’m just now getting around to, fit with the usual bells and whistles: downloadable screenplay, score samples (God Alexandre Desplat’s work is gorgeous), clips and interviews, etc.  You can enter the site by clicking on the ad at the top of the page here. I always look for proper care and consideration for the crafts of this film or that each season.  It’

David Fincher Talks ‘Heavy Metal’ Plans
MTV spoke to David Fincher about his involvement with the newest movie version of the comic Heavy Metal and what his part may be, as well as who gets what story between himself and co-directors Gore Verbinski and Zack Snyder. It looks like there's currently no movement on the project as all of these directors are very busy men, but Fincher says they are "...trying to get that made," so it is still happening for sure. In regard to his part and what story he covers, Fincher said ... I’m ready to bat clean-u

David Fincher talks a little bit about ‘Torso’

What does early (and excessive) Oscar hype do to a film’s chances?
In 1996, a fall movie preview of Entertainment Weekly arrived in my mailbox, the cast of “The Crucible” staring back at me on the cover, making clear to me this was going to be THE film of the fall. There were rumors floating within the industry that the film, based on the Arthur Miller play, could conceivably be nominated for 12 or 13 Academy Awards, and it seemed a cinch for at least a Best Picture nod. Having directed the play twice, studied it at length in university and being a huge Arthur

He gathers his old friends together as his ‘dream team’ and ends up falling in love with the newest member of the group. The script was penned by Eastern Promises screenwriter Steven Knight and MTV caught up with Fincher to di

Did David Fincher Just Make a Chick Flick? [The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button]
newVideoPlayer("/benjaminbutt2_io9.flv", 506, 310,""); David Fincher recently released a longer trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a bewitching, sepia-kissed romance-drama starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Camille Saint-Saën’s wistful, whimsical “The Aquarium” scores the longer clip; it’s a track that would fit effortlessly into the Tim Burton oeuvre, and surprisingly feels at place here too.

“Benjamin Button” took decades to reach big screen
By Alex Ben Block LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - It's a pity that the best parts of life come at the beginning, the worst parts at the end. That notion of Mark Twain's -- as related to F. Scott Fitzgerald by his editor, Maxwell Perkins -- was the genesis of Fitzgerald's 1922 short story "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," and, in turn, the genesis of the acclaimed film that finally opens on Christmas Day after decades in development. When Fitzgerald conceived his fantastical tale of a man who ages ba

BRAD: NO JOKE
IT'S hard being Brad Pitt. The star repeatedly tried buying the complete works of Hungarian cult director Bela Tarr from a small DVD store in Budapest as a Christmas present for Angelina Jolie, but whenever he called the place, they thought it was a joke and hung up on him. "He tried several times on the phone but had to give up. They just didn't believe him," an aide to Pitt tells Britain's Daily Mail. Finally, he got a friend in the city, opera singer Laszlo Domahidy, to
