The Fountain website
and book

Our second collaboration with Darren Aronosky
The site became an untangled interpretation of the non-linear storyline of the film
We had started talking to Darren about working on his new feature, The Fountain, in 2002, when suddenly a cast member dropped out and the whole project was shelved. Fast forward 3 years and he is showing us a rough edit of the resurrected feature, now with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz and it's clear this movie has a similar emotional impact on us as Requiem did 5 years earlier.
The site became an untangled interpretation of the non-linear storyline of the film, divided into 6 chapters. There is little point in trying to describe either the film or the site - it's best experienced for yourself...

The amazing thing about Darren Aronofsky is his ability to harness the power of collaboration, that he is able to communicate his vision, but isn't overly controlling when you interpret that vision. So when he asked us if we knew someone who would be interested in creating a book about the film for New York publishers Rizzoli, we said: "We are."
The book featured some of the most amazing images from the film, reordered and reinterpreted, never before images of Peter Parks' micro-photography (which was the source for the space scenes in the film) and the full script as a separate booklet.
