The Curious Case of the Imaginary Benjamin Button Poster
/Film reader and graphic artist Bruno V created a mock-up for a The Curious Case of Benjamin Button one-sheet that doesn't exist, using the film's promotional materials. /Film asks, "I wonder why Paramount Pictures/David Fincher chose not to use the piece of promotional art... as part of the film’s theatrical marketing."
My answer to that would be that Brad Pitt's face sells movies, but I still think the mock-up one-sheet is touching and can't wait to see the film.
Trailer, AFTER THE JUMP...

I screened it, and I don't want to give anything away or bias anyone so I won't discuss specifics of the movie...
BUT, I can't deal with these 3 hour movies anymore. My butt begins to cramp, my attention deficit disorder kicks in, and, to me, no amount of action, drama, or comedy can replace the three hours I'm forced to sit still in a dark room.

Anyone else think that was Michelle Obama at first glance?
Can't wait to see it either. And David, if you're complaining about the length of the movie then I guess you didn't like it. 1 hour, 4 hours - if it's good, I'll sit still.

Andy & David --
I saw the movie at a screening Sunday and LOVED it!
A couple minor quibbles that I won't get into here, but they didn't detract from the overall experience. It is the best American movie that I've seen this year.
The direction, art direction and cinematography are amazing. Acting overall is exemplary. Pitt and Blanchett will both get justly deserved Oscar nods.
You're in for a treat. It is a long movie, but thankfully I went to pee before I went in (at a screening you don't have to suffer through 20 minutes of trailers so that helped too), so I managed to make it through without having to go to the bathroom.
No, I did not think that it was Michelle Obama at first glance.
