New 'Benjamin Button' Images

With Benjamin Button becoming one of the dominant films of awards season, in large part due to its National Board of Review win for director David Fincher and its eight Critics Choice Awards nominations, there might be more interest in it than even a week ago. As we all know, it's the story of a man aging backwards. Benjamin was "born old" as an infant and ages young. He's actually an infant twice, which I'm not sure is how that sort of thing would happen, but that's neither here nor there. Brad Pitt plays Button through most of the years of his life, and Cate Blanchett plays the girl of his dreams, a woman he encounters for about 60 years of his life.  It's certainly an epic story and Fincher deserves a ton of credit for the arresting look of the film. Cinema Blend has 50 images from Benjamin Button you may want to check out; we've got a sampling of them for you here. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will be in theaters on December 25th.
