Aronofsky Finds ReligionBy Bryce Wilson: 2006-11-05 00:00:00
As much as I might love the new crop of directors who cropped up in the late nineties (Spike Jones, Wes Anderson, Richard Kelly David O. Russel, etc.), there has been one major problem with their output. Namely they don’t have one.
While the American New Wave of the Seventies had new films to offer ever couple of years, the new new American filmmakers have been known to let more then half a decade pass between new projects. This is mostly due to the timid studio system, but also to a certain laziness from these brilliant directors. I’m not about to blast Darren Aronofsky for sticking to his guns and willing his dream project The Fountain into existence. But when we’re talking about the genius who made Pi and Requiem For A Dream, I can’t help but be disappointed that we only have two films from him in a decade of activity. Hopefully we won’t have to wait six years for the next film from Aronofsky, considering he just announced it. Aronofsky is characteristically tight lipped about the new project calling it only a “Bible Epic”. This means at least he won’t have the Sisyphean time finding funding that he did with The Fountain, considering crap like One Night With The King, and Nativity Story get produced every other day now. It is odd though that, despite the current of spirituality that runs through Requim For A Dream, seemingly The Fountain and particulary Pi, Aronofsky has never particularly seemed to be a religious filmmaker. Still I’d be psyched for new Aronofsky picture even if it was a dog food commercial. If we’re looking at something that is more Last Temptation Of Christ, then King of Kings, we have the potential for another masterpiece.
