Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, “Benjamin Button,” is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.”
But buzz has been lukewarm, with some saying that Fincher’s current cut of Benjamin Button clocking in so long that Paramount is getting nervous. After a little bit of bad buzz, it’s nice to see that Trailer #2 manages to stay on point and - once again - show us a movie that looks to be worth seeing. You can - and should - CLICK HERE to go to Apple trailers, where Trailer #2 in in HD.
Also hitting this weekend, a new trailer for Frank Miller’s Sprit adaptation that includes lines like: “Get me a tie! And it better be red!,” “I’m Octopus, I have 8 of everything!,” and “I’m gonna kill you all kinds of dead!”
We’re not sure what to make of this Sin City turned Loony Toon, but we still hold out hope because it looks cool. And looking cool can go a long way with the male movie-going demographic. So far, as a matter of fact, we’re not going to embed the Moviephone flash trailer, because Moviephone’s flash player looks like crap. You’re going to have to surf your way to the Spirit’s new trailer, by CLICKING HERE and selecting the HD quicktime of your choice next to the “Exclusive” box on the top of the page.
