The Fountain (2006)

[Highlander II]

Re: The Fountain

Continuing from a comment in this thread ->

The one trailer I've seen has no specific info - for some reason it kind of cheesed me off. It was just a slew of scenes that gave no info on what the movie was about at all. Of course, seeing as it seems to be my kind of movie, regardless of the story I'll probably see it ;-P

The 'teaser' trailer didn't have much at all. There's a newer trailer - the one that you might see on TV now that has a little more.

Official Fountain website - has the new trailer, production stills and something called 'Experience' - which is pretty cool and gives some further insight into the film.

And, from what I understand, trying to put into words what the film is 'about' is a difficult task.

I'll let you know how true that is after I see it next week!

Release date for The Fountain: 22 November 2006

I've seen this movie twice - and loved it both times!

I don't want to say too much about the story itself for interpretation and spoiler reasons. This is one of those movies that you have to see and ponder and come to your own conclusions.

But if you want to read my initial thoughts after the first viewing, you can see those in my LJ.

If anyone else has seen it and wants to discuss - jump in and we'll cover up the spoilers.

I think Darren's actually been working on it for 10 years. He had initially cast Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchet (sp?) in the roles of Tommy and Izzi, but Brad ditched the project somewhere along the line and Darren put it on hold until he got someone to back it again and he grabbed Hugh and Hugh suggested Rachel for Izzi - and now we have "The Fountain".

And it truly is a beautiful film.
