The Fountain Softcover

Something else I found in the August issue of Previews.

Darren Aronofsky (of Pi and Requiem for a Dream fame) was slated for a while (2001/2002) to write and direct an adaptation of Batman: Year One. That, of course, never happened.

He was then supposed to helm The Fountain, which fell apart a few years ago about the time that Brad Pitt left the film.

Well now, The Fountain is a graphic novel, released by DC under its Vertigo line last year, and a film about to be released in October. The film site seems to be up, but doesn't have much content (save a screensaver). The trailer, however, can be seen on Apple's site, and looks pretty amazing.

The softcover edition of The Fountain graphic novel is being released by DC and is highlighted in the August edition of Previews.
