The Fountain

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone else was looking forward to the new Darren Aronofsky film, "The Fountain." It stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. I've been watching it closely for a few months now, reading all the interviews I can find and stuff.

The website is finally up, but it has almost nothing on it. The background is pretty cool though...

Anyway. I feel like I'm going crazy waiting for this thing. They haven't even put out a trailer yet (not counting the trailer that those lucky guys at Comic Con got to see.) and so far there's no release date, although it's suppose to be winter of 2005. But really, I'm more anxious about this then I was about Episode III. What sucks though is that I'm betting it'll probably only be released in select cities. But, I guess driving an hour or so would be worth it, just so I can see it as soon as I possibly can.

I'm trying not to have any of the story spoiled before I go to see it, so even though the graphic novel is being released november 2nd, I'm probably not going to be buying it untill after I see the movie (unless I didn't like the movie, but I think I will.)

Aronofsky is a brilliant director. Requiem for a Dream is my favorite movie. It leaves me speechless everytime I watch it. I didn't as much care for Pi, even though it was still a good movie.

But, yeah. I just thought I'd see how many other people here were Aronofsky fans and if any of you were planning on seeing The Fountain.

Aronofsky is a genuis filmmaker. I thought both Pi and Requiem for a Dream were brilliant movies. I've been looking foward to this movie since I heard he got financing because Brad Pitt agreed to do it.
