Recently while in Montreal, I saw some of the sets and prep for a new Brad Pitt movie, also starring Kate Blanchett, being shot in Old Town. The movie is: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The movie took over several blocks in Old Montreal. The Montreal screenwriter also co-wrote last year's Canadian hit, 'Bon Cop, Bad Cop.'
Benjamin Button is the story of a 50-year-old man, played by Pitt, who begins aging backwards. The Montreal shoot is the end of a long shoot that included four months in New Orleans and another two months in Los Angeles.
Director David Fincher and the rest of the crew are filming for only eight days in Montreal, though even such a short shoot will pump several million dollars into the local economy.
