The Wrestler by Darren Aronofsky in December!
Darren Aronofsky, legendary director of Pi, Requiem For a Dream, and The Fountain, will have his new film The Wrestler starring Micky Rourke released by December 19th, according to Fox Searchlight Studios. Part of the plan is to have it in circulation in time for the Academy Award season for it to garner some momentum.
Mickey Rourke plays an old wrestler who longs for the glory days to return. I think. I can’t wait for anything Aronofsky announces, which makes this news very special to me. Mickey Rourke is the man, as is Mr. Aronofsky. I think he is a genius. And yes, I am one of those people who really really loved The Fountain. I’m excited. It’s exciting to see if Aronofsky actually gets an Oscar this time around. Keep you posted as we move closer toward December.
Thank God Clint Mansell is doing the Soundtrack for this one too.
