Briefly famous actress Julia Ormond has signed up to work with once popular director David Fincher on his new movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, according to Variety. It's not that Ormond or Fincher did anything wrong, it's just that audiences have really short attention spans and it's been awhile since either of them did anything worth noting.
For Fincher that'll change in 2007 with Zodiac, his first movie since 2002's Panic Room. For Ormond it may be David Lynch's new movie Inland Empire that does it, assuming moviegoers can manage to sit through it without getting a headache. This is Lynch we're talking about after all.
If neither of those movies work now they have Benjamin Button, a drama based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel about a man who turns 50 and then starts aging backwards. While aging Merlin style, the man falls in love with a 30-year-old woman played by Cate Blanchett Ormond figures a little less prominently into the movie, she's cast to be the daughter of Blanchett's character and de facto storyteller.
