Aronofsky Talks! Teaser Hits Wednesday!
Topic: The Fountain
Aint It Cool has caught up with Mr. Aronofsky and managed to get the low-down on exactly what is happening with his "psychedelic fairy tale." While The Fountain still has no release date, Darren speculates that it will take "until the end of February or so" to complete all 200 VFX shots they have left to do.

While that seems like a long time to wait, don't worry, because Apple.com will have a new 30 second teaser up sometime tomorrow. And for those of you looking forward to the graphic novel, it will be in comic book stores sometime mid-November, and everywhere else December 1st. Lastly, Darren has said that "there’s going to be a lot more stuff" on the The Fountain website to look forward to.

In the meantime, go to Aint It Cool and read the entire interview where Darren talks more about The Fountain, Clint Mansell's score, directing Lost and much much more. A link for the teaser will follow as soon as it becomes available.

Life After The Fountain
Topic: Black Flies
Variety reports Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to the novel Black Flies by Shannon Burke (Safelite), and they have none other than Darren Aronofsky in mind to direct. Negotiations are already underway with Aronofsky and his production partner Eric Watson. The novel has yet to be published, so details concerning the book are sketchy at this point although it is said to involve "a young man who becomes an emergency medical technician in Harlem."

"The book is a good match for Darren because he likes to explore the depths of human emotion, and he is unsparingly honest," Paramount producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura told Variety.

We'll follow with more details as they are available.
