The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I stumbled into this story while reading Director David Fincher's
profile in imdb.com. The Curious case of Benjamin Button is FIncher's
next project that will be shown in Nov of this year. Its based on
the short story by F.Scott Fitzgerald of the same title and I was
able to get the short story link to read on line in one of the forums.
The story is about this old man or should I say baby who was born
with the features of that of 70 year old man. He keeps on looking
younger as he grows older (are you confused now?)

I fell in love with the story after reading it. I laughed so
hard when Benjamin asked his father what should he call him and should
he call him baby until he come up of a name? His father said he said
be called Methusellah. Lots of funny and heartfelt scenes in the story
that I cant wait to see on the film.
Wonder how Fincher (Zodiac, Seven) will transform the story to a film.
Film stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. This is going to be awesome. Cant wait.
if you want to read the short story.
