�Benjamin Button� to Be So Long That Time Moves Backward?

Just as a new trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button premiered on NBC's Olympics coverage last night, rumors are percolating that the movie's veneer some difficulties behind the scenes. Specifically, Variety's Anne Thompson writes that music director David Fincher has off in a cut that is "quite long," simply like his last pic, Zodiac. /Film and Ain't It Cool News have fanned the rumors as well, with a test-screening report at AICN pegging the electric current cut at three hours.






Seriously, does this movie want to be three hours long? It's a not bad story � Brad Pitt plays the title character reference, who ages backward � and the special personal effects seem immaculate, with old man-baby Brad Pitt specially terrifying. But is Fincher jealous of Steven Soderbergh's four-hour Che? Is he hoping to hammer place the tragedy of time's passage to audiences by taking aside three hours of their lives? By the time the movie's over, testament we experience aged into old man-babies?

Hanks Drops Big Fat Greek Wedding Lawsuit

Tom Hanks, his wife Rita Wilson and actress Nia Vardalos have dropped their legal battle all over profits from hit 2002 movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Vardalos wrote the script for the comedy, while Hanks and Wilson were producers of the film. My Big Fat Greek Wedding proved to be an unexpected blockbuster, earning profits of $368 1000000. However, the trio subsequently accused their co-financiers at Gold Circle Films of reneging on agreements to pay the stars a share of the takings, and filed a cause at Los Angeles County Superior Court in 2007. But the firm's bosses have reportedly refused to pay the plaintiffs whatsoever share of the lucre or amends - and Hanks, Wilson and Vardalos have since decided to put an end to the legal wrangling by dropping the suit entirely. They get yet to give a specific reasonableness for their actions.
