Damon In Jonze's BENJAMIN BUTTON'!'

Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some rumblings from the Lab.

Hmmmm... you should see this new spy who dropped by the Labs tonight. He was banging on the door, shouting about something, for almost twenty minutes before I opened up. When I did, I was shocked to find a guy who is essentially a nose and shoes. I mean... you've never seen a honker like this guy's sporting. As a result, though, he's become extrasensitive to things happening around him. Massive grain of salt firmly in place, let's see what The Original Nasal Kid has sniffed out for us today...

Hey, the Original Nasal Kid here...

I was in the lobby of the Creative Artists Agency visiting my aunt, when I met Spike Jonze. He was sitting around waiting for some people to come. I spoke with him breifly -- and mostly I just shook his hand and told how great I felt that he was. As a teenager, I think Spike really enjoyed being noticed by some young people -- as he actually approached me and spoke with me a bit, asking my name and asking if I lived in the area. He's a nice guy. A few minutes later, Matt Damon came in -- as well as many producers and suited industry types. I was able to shake hands and introduce myself to Matt Damon, but quickly everyone was off to wherever to have a meeting or whatever it is that they do, all of them leaving together. So this possibly could be that Matt Damon is involved in the next Spike Jonze project--most likely it will be Benjamin Button. This would actually make quite a lot of sense because they'd be able to make him appear older--as well as make him look younger. So.....just throwin' that out there for you.

For those of you not familiar with the project, it's a long-in-development adaptation of an F. Scott Fitzgerald story about Benjamin Button, born as an old man, who aged backwards to infancy. It's a peculiar fable, and sounds like perfect fodder for the brilliant wit of Jonze as a next film. Damon is an interesting choice, and if anyone can crack that All-American Boy image wide open, it's Jonze. We'll see...
