The Fountain


I saw a teaser for this flick (via RW) a few of months ago. Now I'm that much more captivated by what Aronofsky has done (besides make what looks like a cosmically gorgeous film)...

...that's had its release pushed back to November 22...

...and that was a graphic novel first?!

"Working with acclaimed painter Kent Williams, 'The Fountain' crisscrosses through three distinct time periods: 1535, during an ancient Mayan war; the present day, following one doctor's desperate search for the cure for cancer; and the far future through the vast exotic reaches of space. Interweaving these three periods, 'The Fountain' follows Tomas -- warrior, doctor, explorer -- as he feverishly tries to beat death and prolong the life of the woman he loves."
