Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky ("Pi") and acclaimed painter Kent Williams ("Blood: A Tale") team up for a beautiful new graphic novel: a sister project for Aronofsky's movie, starring Hugh Jackman ("X-Men") and Rachel Weisz ("Constantine", "The Mummy"). Using the same story as its seed but stretched instead upon the limitless canvas of the comics medium, the graphic novel provides an insider's accompaniment to the movie, providing perhaps the ultimate "director's cut'. "The Fountain" crisscrosses through three time periods: in 1535, during an ancient Mayan war; the present day, following one doctor's desperate search for a cure for cancer; and the far future. The story follows Tomas - warrior, doctor and explorer - as he feverishly tries to beat death and prolong the life of the woman he loves.
