Darren Aronofsky, director of the cult classics, Pi and Requiem for a Dream, has a new film coming out called The Fountain. "Spanning over one thousand years, and three parallel stories, The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world." The release date has been pushed back until sometime next year so, in the interim, he'll be directing an episode of Lost.
