The Fountain

Anyone else looking forward to this? For those that don't know, it is the latest work from Darren Aronofsky, the director of 'Pi' and 'Requiem For A Dream'. The official website: http://pdl.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/thefountain/flashsite/index.html, offers little more than a few screensaver downloads. Quicktime.com has the full trailer.

The synopsis is:
An odyssey about one man’s thousand-year struggle to save the woman he loves. As a 16th century Conquistador, a modern-day scientist, and a 26th century astronaut, he searches for the secret to eternal life.

Early reviews claim that it is amazing.

i think it could be really cool...nothing else has been good this summer

 

If he's taking part in a thousand year struggle hasn't he already found the secret to eternal life?

This sounds like the epitome of sappy chick-flickness, cleverly disguised with a sci-fi premise to trap men into unknowingly obliging to attend.

Bring back (remake) The Highlander. Being the only immortal left as a result of decapitating all other people with eternal life. Now, that's a plot.
