Here’s the trailer for Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett’s new film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

To refresh your memory, 80-year-old Benjamin Button (Pitt), is born aging backwards, causing complications when he falls in love with a 30-year-old woman (Blanchett).

Director David Fincher said, “It’s dark, it’s romantic, and it also deals with mortality in a pretty unflattering way. Button is born in 1919 - with the film itself beginning in World War I, traveling around the world and carrying on all the way through to the year 2000.”

Watch the “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” Movie Trailer below! The film opens on Friday, December 19.

Cate Blanchett wears some killer heels as she arrives for the Australian premiere of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in Sydney on Wednesday.

“I knew this film was popular … but I didn’t realize just how big the fan base was before the opening at Cannes,” Cate said at the premiere.

The 39-year-old actress also talked about some difficulties while shooting the film. “It sounds shallow, but trying to keep every single hair in place while sword fighting in a military duck (amphibious vehicle) with Shia LaBeouf - that was pretty difficult.”
