I was reading a blog post about Alice in Wonderland movie by Tim Burton when it strike a chord to go visit Apple Trailers. I’m so anticipating Alice in Wonderland BTW, and it’s Tim Burton! ANYWAY, so I went to check out Apple Trailers and guess what I saw? A big banner of a movie trailer call ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button‘. It took so so long to load the damn trailers *sniff. But it was worthwhile.

The trailers practically tells the whole story in a nutshell, which is about a man whose life starts from age 70, I mean physically. Mentally, he is a child but according to wiki, he was able to speak moments after his birth! So when other ppl began to age, he became younger! It’s a curious case indeed! At the end of the trailer we see a baby @_@ But according to the novel, his life ends as he became a baby and then POOF! He’s disappeared from the face of the earth. Quite sad actually, there’re no remains of you, only memories… As he became younger, he gradually lose interest in his wife (Blanchett) too because she’s aging. Hrm… I wonder if he HAS INTEREST when he was an old man and she was a girl? That would look very bad >_<

The movie stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett woohoo! They are back again since Babel. I think they are both very talented actors but maybe because both of them has already their own stereotypical characters imprinted into my head (Tyler vs Queen Elizabeth?), they seem to be quite odd as couples. Well, Cate Blanchett is very elegant IMO and Brad Pitt gives a very bad boy vibe. Aiyo, it’s because whenever I think of Brad Pitt’s best character, I’ll think of Tyler Durden & David Mills (Se7en). And Cate Blanchett is associated with Galadriel in LOTR and Elizabeth. They don’t really blend. But we shall see how this movie goes.

It’s scheduled to release in Christmas in US so we hope that it’ll be released at the same time or soon after!

    It’s based on a short story (which is Google-able)… I thought it’s not bad, but I’m not sure if I want to see it when it does come out…

    Yea I read about the short story on wiki, it seems interesting but not sure if it’ll be as good as it seems. Well, I’ll just watch for the cast hahaha!
