Reel Around the Fountain

Big doings for fans of heady sci-fi: We’ve only seen the very creepy screensaver so far, but finally the powers-that-be have released this brief, mind-bending teaser for Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain, starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz (formerly Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett…this Fountain‘s been a long time coming. It was supposed to be a 2002 release.)

Landlord’s Daughter, Satan’s Son.

Lots of casting news today on the horror remake front…first, Leelee Sobieski and Ellen Burstyn have joined Neil La Bute’s Wicker Man, in what sounds like the Britt Ekland and Christopher Lee roles respectively. And, likely appearing as Gregory Peck and Lee Remick in a new version of The Omen are Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles. (For their part, the AICN guys think they’ve found the new Damien.)
