"...Brad immediately responded to the material, and obviously when Fincher got involved, he said, absolutely, I want to do it.

News.scotsman.com has recently interviewed acclaimed director David Fincher about his new film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". The interview also drifts into record-straightening discussion of Fincher's reputation. Fincher laughs at the accusations of being a sadist, anti-God and, outrageously, of inciting fascism. However, Fincher feels that with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" his fans can expect to see a different side of him, especially with those who describe him as 'dark'. Being his 3rd collaboration with Brad Pitt, the project is already being talked up as a potential Oscar candidate. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" opens in theaters December 25th. 

"The film takes forever to explain, but it's about life, that's all I know," says Fincher, who has been involved with it for the best part of seven years. "I like to think of it as being about the dents that we make on each other, that's the best description I can think of. I think it's really heartfelt."
