Used landscape trailer
couple of you sent me emails telling me there was some artwork for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button online, but that was only some art used at the Apple.com trailer page, but it turns out Defamer scored an image via X-17 Online, but as always on the Internet it's from a digital camera. I have no idea what Paramount is doing with this flick, but they have offered no official stills and have delivered the trailer in high definition as if it wouldn't be squashed down by the massed (self included) to far less attractive Flash format. Last I checked withholding information only makes the online masses frenzied, but it keeps the general public in the dark and with the film set for release on Christmas Day Paramount may want to think about letting people in the 'real' world know it is an actual film.
The pic to the right is the largest version available that I can find. Perhaps you can scour X-17 for the larger version, but I'll be damned if that is not one of the most annoying sites I've ever visited.
Of course you will notice the poster features plenty of backwards typeface, playing off the fact Brad Pitt plays a man born somewhere in his eighties and continues to get younger as the film goes on. I have added the trailer below for a small bit of clarification for the uninitiated
This evening, I had the opportunity to speak with writer/director Baz Luhrmann just before he boarded a flight from New York to Sydney, where he will be completing post-production on Australia, the epic film that he co-wrote and directed which is due to open nationwide two weeks from tomorrow. (Check out the trailer.)
Australia has been the subject of intense discussion and speculation ever since it was first announced, but never more so than in recent days, when written reports began popping up across the blogosphere that seemed to echo verbal rumors which had been spreading around Hollywood for weeks: that the film had gone way overbudget (some said $130 million); the initial cut was way too long; and that the film's ending was so poorly received at test screenings that Luhrmann was pressured by Fox to go with a different one in other words, that it was a trainwreck.
Just when it seemed that the vitriol toward the film couldn't get any worse, Luhrmann flew into New York to be feted by New York's Museum of Modern Art and to join his cast (via Skype) for an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Prior to the show, Oprah Winfrey and her audience were shown an almost-finished-cut of the film, something that only a select few others have seen
