THE FOUNTAIN is a film known for being the topic of much debate by cinema fans. The lovers of the film and the not-so lovers will argue the merits of the film endlessly (trust me, I’ve been there). Although the arguments exist, there is very little contention about the performances in the film, especially that of Rachel Weisz. Now it looks like THE FOUNTAIN writer/director Darren Aronofsky want’s to team back up with Weisz, and have her play one of the most iconic First Lady’s ever, Jackie Kennedy.
The film isn’t your everyday biopic, it solely focuses on the four days following the assassination of President Kennedy leading up to his funeral. This could really showcase Weisz’s talent, because t his will be a demanding dramatic role (lot’s of tears).
Some of the strongest recent biopics are similar to this one, they follow a very specific point in time of the persons life. BOBBY and THE QUEEN are two examples that come to mind – both are incredible films. Add that to Aronofsky’s more toned down directing style he used in THE WRESTLER, and we might just have a really great film.
