Director David Fincher and Paramount Pictures will be releasing a movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The movie will star Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchettm and Tilda Swinton, and is slated for release on December 19, 2008.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (from the book Tales of the Jazz Age) is about a man who is born as an old man and ages backward before ceasing to exist as a newborn baby. Although perhaps not technically Science Fiction, it has elements of the fantastical and therefore I will cover it here.
Before seeing the movie in December perhaps you would like to read, re-read, or listen to the story.
The wonders of the Internet never cease to amaze me!
