New Benjamin Button International Trailer

A new international trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Bottun has been released, just in time for the one-month countdown until it’s released on December 25th. It’s also good timing considering that oscar buzz is everywhere these days.

Some of the trailer will be familiar to you, but there’s a different voiceover and some new footage as well. The more I see of this movie, the more I find myself eager to see it.

Awards Daily also has a great “Benjamin Button Screening Q&A”. One thing of note is this paragraph:

The first and probably most important reason is that this is a film that works on every level. It is an authentic bit of writing, straight from the heart of Eric Roth, who admitted during the Q&A that he’d lost his parents while writing the script. That kind of sentiment and heartbreak cannot be faked. That kind of inspiration is rare. Unfortunately for him it came at a great cost. Perhaps this is why the truth here, bare as it is, cuts as deeply.

It sounds heavy and deep and I can not wait for it to come out.

They also describe Brad Pitt’s portrayal of Benjamin as “a soul-shattering creation”. Wow.

Thanks to Ligaya for the heads’ up!
