The first shots from the upcoming David Fincher (Fight Club) film, entitled "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," have been published in a magazine. They feature a shot of a very ugly baby, which is actually a look (view above) at what Brad Pitt will look like as an infant in the movie. Apparently, each time we see the character in different stages of his life, Pitt's face will be placed over the actual actor's face.
Based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" tells the story of an elderly man (Pitt) who ages backwards. At the age of 50, he falls in love with a 30-year-old woman (Cate Blanchett) and then must come to terms with the relationship as they literally grow in opposite directions.
In addition, a reader of HollywoodElsewhere wrote in about his friend's experiences working on the set of the new movie. The friend is a costume designer and had lots of great things to say.
"Top to bottom she said the set and production was a dream, that both David Fincher and Brad Pitt were consummate professionals, and that the script was top-notch -- the only script she can recall making her cry, she said. She added that the look and scope of design of the film while ambitious is also intricate and exacting. Furthermore, she mentioned that some of the sequences they saw that had been edited were absolutely stunning. Her description of the mood of those who worked on it is that of bated breath -- a near universal belief that they have made an outstanding and moving film, one that transcends and one they wish not to jinx by too much loose talk." |
Does this sound like a weird film or what???  and Pitt looks as weird in baby mode  here's the original link anyway....

It's a strange one alright and I could imagine Johnny Depp doing it, not Brad Pitt. Or maybe Pitt's going for quirkier roles now like Johnny Depp does?
It has an Edward Scissorhands surreal, fairy tale feel to it and I think it'll be a hit......but it'll be a tear jerker too. |

I think Pitt has started doing that more now since Fight Club though I know where your coming from it does have a ring of Edward Scissorhands
