MTV’s Kurt Loder went to a Fox Searchlight holiday party in New York last night (where was our invite 🙁 ) and caught up with “The Wrestler” director Darren Aronofsky.
The director said he was “mulling” over his next project, but no details as to which one exactly that would be.
However, he did say that at some point, possibly in a few years when he has some time, he’d like to revisit his underappreciated 2006 sci-fi romance, “The Fountain.”
“It wouldn’t be a ‘director’s cut,’” he said — more like an alternate story told with the addition of unused footage from the first go-round. This would be a complicated project on a couple of levels, though, and it’s at least a few years away.
Hmm, unused footage from the first one, huh? Not a lot to go on there, but an interesting prospect nonetheless. One of our favorite parts of “The Fountain” is the score (naturally) that’s written by Aronofsky collaborator Clint Mansell and performed by avante classical foursome, the Kronos Quartet and Scottish post-rockers Mogwai. It’s an excellent collaboration between three great groups of musicians.
“Death Is The Road To Awe”
“The Last Man”
