Darren Aronofsky, Academy Award-nominated director of The Fountain — the acclaimed movie starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz — presents his original vision of the story in this beautiful graphic novel, painted by master artist Kent Williams! Through three time periods — 1535, the present day, and the far future — a man named Tomas searches for a way to cheat death and save the life of the woman he loves.

Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (Pi) and acclaimed painter Kent Williams (Blood: A Tale) team up for a beautiful new graphic novel!

The Fountain crisscrosses through three time periods: in 1535, during an ancient Mayan war; the present day, following one doctor's desperate search for the cure for cancer; and the far future, through the vast reaches of space. Interweaving these three periods, the story follows Tomas — warrior, doctor and explorer — as he feverishly tries to beat death and prolong the life of the woman he loves.

Aronofsky is also shooting a feature film version of the story for Warner Bros. Pictures starring Hugh Jackman (X-Men) and Rachel Weisz (Constantine, The Mummy).
