The Science Behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Posted on Thursday, February 12th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Paramount Pictures has launched BenjaminButtonFX.com, a website that reveals some of the secrets behind the visual effects magic that was used to create The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. From a man aging backwards, to a city’s development over decades, the website features a bunch of different interactive displays of how the visual effects magic was created. It’s definitely one of those websites that you’ll have fun exploring. I’m wondering why it took them so long to get this site up? And I have to say I love the evolution progression on the loading bar (seen above). They should have used that image on a theatrical teaser poster.

  • lol true
  • Wow, what a cool website. It's really interesting and fun to see everything that went into the film, effects-wise. Thanks for sharing, Peter!
  • It's probably being released around this time because this is the height of Oscar voting since the ballots are due in less than a week.
  • From what I understand, the Oscar voters has have access to this for quite some time already.
  • Yes, I posted a story about it when it was password protected.

    I agree, that would've made a great poster.
  • I seriously love my career! We most certainly make awesome happen!

    This movie left me wondering, "what the f**k?" How did they do that? If this doesn't win some Oscars then I don't know what to say...
  • the movie is awesome.
  • Wow, just.... wow. If Ben Button doesn't win nearly every technical Oscar, it'll be a crime.
  • no i totally do not need this movie to win a technical award. i do not think it is worth it... if the effects are cool but movie sucked, then i do not feel it deserves awarding... cause a movie cannot ride on technical achievements alone. and of the star wars prequels were technical achievements, but they sucked... and they won zero awards. but were nomited.
