Synopsis
The Curious Birth of Benjamin Button (2009) is a feature-length making-of documentary you can watch online on iFILM. It tracks how David Fincher built his 2008 drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button from blank page to finished screen.
Director David Prior follows the project from its stalled 1990s development, through a studio that kept handing it to different filmmakers, to the 2006–2007 New Orleans shoot and a postproduction that leaned hard on digital effects. The film's central trick — aging and then de-aging Brad Pitt — gets pulled apart step by step: prosthetics, CGI faces, endless takes. Cate Blanchett, Taraji P. Henson and the design crew talk craft without the press-kit gloss. At nearly three hours, it's built for viewers who care more about how a movie gets made than about the movie itself. Stream The Curious Birth of Benjamin Button online on iFILM.
