"Did you ever think you'd see the day when a film would make $300+ million at the box office, earn 13 Oscar nominations and the director still end up in the studio doghouse?"

right??

The only problem I see is that the script is still owned by Paramount. I think there is some obvious bad blood between Fincher and the Paramount executives so I don't know if they'll change their mind. If he does take it to Warner (or somewhere else), they're going to have to re-write the script.

Either way, I don't think it's happening in the near future.

That's probably why Fincher was joking about "sleeping" for a few months in that Guardian interview.

BTW, Benjamin Button is actually doing very well abroad (it's only begun opening in the major markets in the last week or so), so when all the numbers finally come in it'll probably break even or even make a small profit, as it's now widely expected to make $300+ million worldwide.

He must have really pissed them off, huh?

Let’s hope so, i think this would be perfect for him. Much moreso than Button or Chef.

Two words: Warner and Brothers.

It's still happening. I can feel it.
