We're still haunted by the oozing hands that smushed Lisbeth Salander's lovely face in David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's title sequence. But what sort of Dragon Tattoo imagery is hidden amongst all these tangled vines of USB cables and "primordial dream ooze"? We spoke with co-founder of Blur and the title sequence's creative director, Tim Miller, to uncover what sort of secret messages are hiding inside Lisbeth's nightmare. More »

The box office has spoken — no longer will the public fork over their wages for derivative movies like The Wolfman or Gulliver's Travels. But does that mean better movies in 2011? Perhaps. More »

The latest TV spot for the world's hottest backwards aging baby is out along with a glowing review from Variety. The back-and-forth around David Fincher's flick is driving me a bit mad, we've heard reports of that BB is confusing and long winded, now we're hearing that the flick deserves a basket full of Oscars. While I must admit that the trailers are gorgeous and the score is catchy I'm not sure what to do with Variety's "four quadrant art film" review. More »

Ever take a closer look at all the tiny old man baby stills from David Fincher's new backwards aging tale The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button? Did you find yourself remarking at how the little old man resembled the younger (looking) bigger and taller version that Brad Pitt plays? That's because new special effects technology allowed the filmmakers to put Pitt's face on that wrinkled, baby body. More »

Bad news for all you mutated kids infected with "teen plague" from Charles Burns' Black Hole comic: the Beowulf team of Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary won't be penning the story for your big screen adaption. Unfortunately there appeared to be a conflict of work styles between the writers and the infamous director David Fincher. It's too bad: I would have loved to see what Gaiman and Fincher would have dreamed up together. Although I can assume that Fincher's method is a little like going on an intense uppers bender, but instead of doing drugs you work on your movie until your fingers bleed. More »

Director David Fincher’s post-Benjamin Button project has been somewhat of a mystery—a 3D/CG Heavy Metal? Brian Michael Bendis’ Torso? Matz's The Killer? Oh god, not the Fight Club musical?!? But now it looks like we can cross at least one limbo-ing project off his to-do list: Rendezvous With Rama, based on the cerebral, 1972 novel by sci-fi great Arthur C. Clarke about about the human response to an ominous alien spaceship sneaking its way into the Milky Way. More »

David Fincher recently released a longer trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a bewitching, sepia-kissed romance-drama starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Camille Saint-Saën’s wistful, whimsical “The Aquarium” scores the longer clip; it’s a track that would fit effortlessly into the Tim Burton oeuvre, and surprisingly feels at place here too. Yes, this is a radical departure for the Fight Club and Zodiac director, who is indeed prone to mystery and wonder with regard to blood-and-guts—which are conspicuously absent here, save some tasteful Private Ryan-esque interludes.

In a surprising turn of events, many online movie critics are calling The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button so-so. David "Fight Club" Fincher's film follows a man's life as he ages backwards through time, and was hailed as the new Oscar darling even before an English trailer debuted. Now the film, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, is getting the cursed sigh of indifference from bloggers. Could the so-so footage be a result of Fincher's supposed dust-up with the studio after a throw-down with Paramount over the movieHeavy Metal? More »

David "Fight Club" Fincher has a new flick coming out called The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and it's a love story featuring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchette. But of course you knew it couldn't be all pink hearts coming from the guy who likes to make everyone bleed: In this tale, based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, Benjamin (Pitt) is a guy who ages backwards. I know you're thinking Mork from Ork, but early reviews of the movie, slated to come out in December, say that it's Tim Burtonesque (a good sign) and extremely long (a bad sign). More »

A remake of Heavy Metal, the raunchy animated movie about sexy robots and mostly nekkid amazons, has run into trouble. Paramount was developing the animated film, consisting of segments directed by David Fincher (Fight Club) and Kevin Eastman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), with erotic and violent storylines by Steve Niles (30 Days Of Night) and Joe Haldeman (The Forever War). But Paramount has dropped the project and Fincher and Eastman (current publisher of the Metal comic) are shopping it to other studios. Fincher, meanwhile, is still signed up to direct a movie of Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama, according to IMDB. [Entertainment Weekly] More »

Director David Fincher is going to direct Charles Burns' graphic novel Black Hole, based on a screenplay by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary, which is a creepy quartet in itself. If you haven't picked it up by now, Burns' black-ink heavy story deals with a group of teenagers who catch a bizarre STD called The Bug, which causes extreme physical mutations. Eventually the kids become outcasts, creating their own small societies at the fringes of cities and towns. This sounds intriguing, although hopefully the end result will fare a bit better than Beowulf, which Avary and Gaiman also collaborated on the script for. We're also interested to see what The Finch does with Rendezvous with Rama, which he's also directing. [Hollywood Reporter] More »
