WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    "I was born under unusual circumstances..." Thus begins The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, the Academy Award winning film starring Brad Pitt as a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards, and Cate Blanchett as the woman he is destined to love forever. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is a monumental journey - as unusual as it is epic - that follows Benjamin's remarkable adventure of romance and redemption from the end of World War I through the 21st Century. Winner of three Academy Awards, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is "one of the best movies of the decade!" (Karen Durbin, Elle)

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based on the 1922 short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
• This movie has almost been made several times, initially in the 1970's it was going to be directed by Ray Stark with Jack Nicholson in the lead. It then lay dormant until 1994 when Steven Spielberg acquired the rights to the film and was set to direct it with Tom Cruise in the lead. The last serious attempt was in 1998 with John Travolta in the lead and Ron Howard directing, however none of these projects were ever filmed and it was eventually picked up with David Fincher at the helm and Brad Pitt as the star.
• Benjamin Button's baby daughter in the film was played by Brad Pitt's real-life daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt who was ten months old at the time of the shoot.
