With the exception of the Dark Knight, there isn’t a film this year that I have been anticipating more than David Fincher’s take on the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.  Warner Brothers has just made Alexander Desplat’s complete score available for preview on their For Your Consideration website.  Watch the trailer below and grab the mp3 of “Aquarium” from Camille Saint-Saens musical suite Carnival of Animals which is used in the film’s first trailer.

Read the original short story here.
