Curiously Amazing Movie (& Technology)
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
I recently had an opportunity to participate in a screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button epic film. The story is about a child who is born having the physical attributes of a severely aged man (wrinkled skin, arthritis, poor hearing, cataracts etc) but gradually ages backwards. The script, music, acting were all composed masterfully… but the most impressive and exciting part of this movie for me, was to watch how scene after scene Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) aged backwards. At the conclusion of the movie, we had the opportunity to join a Q&A with director David Fincher and screenwriter Eric Roth. They discussed how Brad’s face was actually used through out the entire movie and a revolutionary process allowed them seamlessly blend/ age it to the respective body.
The concept was drawn from an F Scott Fitzgerald short story. Check here for trailers and here for a thorough review of this movie.
*Bonus: found out that Kanye and the “hot guy” from Gossip Girl also attended the screening.
