The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Genre: Adaptation, Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi, Fantasy
Release Date: December 25
Cast: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Kimberly Scott, Jason Flemyng, Taraji P. Henson
Scoop: Benjamin Button (Pitt) is a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. Like all men, he is unable to stop time and he goes through life, backward, experiencing the joys of life and the sadness of death.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: The fact that this is a shot of Brad Pitt as Mr. Button, all aged-up yet a kid, with his kvelling black mom (Henson) rooting for him -- well, we are soooo there to see how it plays out!
Snapshot Prediction: 4.5 out of 5 flashes
