Early audiences weren't receptive to preview footage but now other sites are hailing it as a serious awards contender. I hope Group B is right because when Fincher succeeds, he usually comes out with an unforgettable flick.

Below you can check out a slew of images from the film as well as the deceptively creative new posters. Usually, giant heads don't do anything for me (except for Easter Island--I love you guys) but I do like what they did with the text on Pitt's poster.

For those just tuning in, here's a brief synopsis:

"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" hits theatres on December 25th.
