When last year brought “Noah,” a spiritual and special effects-laden Darren Aronofsky film with its own companion graphic novel (produced since Aronofsky wasn’t sure the film would ever come to fruition), fans of the director had a feeling of deja vu. Eight years earlier, he had made “The Fountain,” a similarly spiritual film running over with special effects and accompanied by a companion graphic novel. Although the film's 10th anniversary is next year, maybe it's not too early for another look at Aronofsky’s troubled third film, this time in a way you’ve never seen before. The folks over at The Film Stage (via Reddit) have found a new fan edit of the film by Paul Herrin. Based on Aronofsky’s graphic novel with Kent Williams, this recut version dumps the non-linear storytelling and puts all the elements in mostly chronological order. If you need a refresher, Aronofsky’s film tells three stories,...

If you are a fan of movies then you know that Darren Aronofsky (Pi, The Wrestler, Black Swan and The Wolverine) is a bad ass director, but did you know he's a comic book geek at heart? He is, as regular readers will know.
When The Fountain movie was put on hold he turned it into a graphic novel with Kent Williams. Aronofsky is about to do that again with comic is called Noah, it is drawn by Nico Henrichon (artist on Pride Of Baghdad). The book is set for release next year and there will likely be plans for it to be made into a film!
Bleeding Cool reported on the project and here's Aronofsky's description:
Noah was the first person to plant vineyards and drink wine and get drunk. It’s there in the Bible – it was one of the first things he did when he reached land.

The Fountain
Directed by Darren Aronofsky
Written by Darren Aronofsky
2010, USA
In many ways, The Fountain is possibly the greatest comic book adaptation of all time. First attempted in 2002, with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett attached and a 75 million dollar budget, Aronofsky’s eventual follow up to the very personal and incredibly bleak Requiem for a Dream was a space- and time -panning epic that collapsed when Brad Pitt quit to go make Troy. Incredibly the entire Australian production was shut down and props auctioned off. Frustrated, Aronofsky found some solace in adapting his masterpiece into a graphic novel (gorgeously illustrated by Kent Williams) which remains to this day the only true representation of his original vision.
Determined to find a way to still create a filmic version ,he rewrote the screenplay,exploiting his resourcefulness to hack the budget in half and refine the scale to create a more intimate...
