In this adaptation of a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Brad Pitt reunites with David Fincher, his director on Seven.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells the story of an 80-year-old man who was born in 1919. But unlike most life stories, this one starts off on quite an unusual note. Button, who was “born under unusual circumstances,” grows younger while everybody else gets older.

Benjamin, which also stars Oscar-winners Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, opens this December.
