In a surprising turn of events , many on-line movie critics are holler The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button so - so . David “ Fight Club ” Fincher ’s motion-picture show follows a human ’s sprightliness as he age backwards through clock time , and was hailed as the newfangled Oscar pet even before an English trailer debut . Now the picture , asterisk Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett , is getting the cursed suspiration of impassiveness from blogger . Could the so - so footage be a result of Fincher ’s supposed debris - up with the studio apartment after a throw - down with Paramount over the movieHeavy Metal?David Fincher screen Benjamin Button footage at the Telluride Film Festival . First Showingsaid although the footage look astonishing , “ Button was confusing and very long . ” Calling edit on the magazine “ disjointed , ” the critic explained , “ The result was quite unimpressive , but I ’m go forth wondering whether it was the editor to blame for this 20 moment cut or whether the pic really has problems . ”Slashfilmalso echoed concern , writing :
The footage I screened tonight was met with disappointment and concern . There are bit of magic and wonderment , but interrupt and surrounded by moment which had me questioning , Is this really the beneficial footage he has ?
Maybe the stack is to do with Paramount light up up the infamous Fincher defiance bar by refusing to greenlight his next project , a remake of animate feature Heavy Metal , unless he dress that fatty tissue on Button . An audience with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ’s co - creator Kevin Eastman atPlaylistconfirms the big f - off from Fincher to Paramount . Eastman says :
They were at odds with Fincher over another project , ‘ The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , ’ they want him to reduce the running time … and so they said , ‘ Until you step up to do what we need you to do with Benjamin , we ’re not going to greenlight any other of [ your ] film . ’ And David said , ‘ Fine , jazz you , I ’m run to set up [ Heavy Metal ] somewhere else , ’ so we jump over to Sony and set it up there .
Therein lies the dilemma with Fincher : Tell him how to do his caper and he ’ll assure you where to stick it , and I ’m willing to bet he ’s right most of the time . But the complaint of “ scuff ” in the novel motion picture may mean he should have listen studio concerns . The critics are being careful not to judge the movie in a flash , and I say wait until the last cut — because it ’s Fincher . We ’re talking about the man who contribute us Fight Club and Seven . Even his bad films are still popcorn - suitable . I think Fincher cinema are the kind of things you have to see all at once . You ca n’t have a little taste like a cartridge clip bobbin or you ’re miss out on the full effect . I ’m still emotional to see the really old infant man that Fincher and Pitt are creating . This film might turn out to surprise us in the terminal .
