Update: The Curious Trailer for Benjamin Button

Sure to be an Oscar contender alongside Baz Luhrmann's Australia, Paramount Pictures has debuted the new trailer for David Fincher's fantasy-drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in theaters with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull this weekend.

The film, opening December 19, is adapted from the classic 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man (Brad Pitt) who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. A man, like any of us, unable to stop time. We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the twenty-first century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.

Co-starring Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Taraji P. Henson, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, "Benjamin Button" is a time traveler's tale of the people and places he bumps into along the way, the loves he loses and finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

A Spanish version of the trailer is already online and can be watched using the player below for now, while the official site is up at BenjaminButton.com.

UPDATE: The studio has removed the trailer from YouTube. Stay tuned for when the official English version is released online.

Not so fast. The classic trailer music selection was nice, and the visuals were a little fantasy-strange, though the cinematography is dark and brilliant. Could be Sweeney Todd-esque. And don't forget, Brad Pitt's voice and acting is never that compelling, perhaps that's why they didn't dialogue from the film - music only. I'll see it anyway, of course, but not jumping to Oscar conclusions

You really can't go wrong with "The Aquarium" from Carnival of the Animals; this version with kinda eerie vocals is cool sounding and the trailer looks really flippin' awesome (minus the crap youtube quality).

Not the biggest Pitt fan in the world but this could be just the kind of movie to get me to change my opinion a bit.

Remember that Pitt is already an Oscar nominated actor for 12 Monkeys, so it's not such a crazy idea. I'm stoked to see him working with Fincher again and this film looks amazing.
