Matty Roth, a naïve young man and aspiring photojournalist, lands a dream
gig following a veteran war journalist into the heart of the DMZ. Things soon
go terribly wrong and Matty finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only
seen on television. There, he is faced with a choice: try to find a way off
the island, or make his career with an assignment most journalists would kill
for. But can he survive in a war zone long enough to report the truth?

THE FOUNTAIN HC
Written by Darren Aronofsky
Adapted by Kent Williams
Art and cover by Williams
Darren Aronofsky proved himself a filmmaker to watch with his provocative debut,
Pi. His follow-up, Requiem for a Dream, continued the accolades, receiving Golden
Globe and Academy Award nominations. His latest accomplishment, however, comes
straight to comics in the form of The Fountain, a gorgeously painted, oversized
original graphic novel about the timeless truths of life, love and death.
Working with acclaimed painter Kent Williams, The Fountain crisscrosses through
three distinct time periods: 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 exotic reaches of space. Interweaving these three
periods, The Fountain follows Tomas -- warrior, doctor, explorer -- as he feverishly
tries to beat death and prolong the life of the woman he loves.
A story so grand, one medium couldn't contain it, Aronofsky's feature film
version of The Fountain will be released by New Regency and Warner Bros. Pictures,
starring Tony Award-winning actor Hugh Jackman (X-Men, Van Helsing, The Boy
from Oz) and acclaimed actress Rachel Weisz (Constantine, The Mummy, the upcoming
The Constant Gardener). But before he did, the filmmaker wanted The Fountain
to be realized the unique storytelling power and artistic beauty of the graphic
novel. Together, Aronofsky and Williams deliver what might be considered the
ultimate director's cut. This deluxe volume also features an afterword by Aronofsky.
A softcover edition will be solicited in conjuction with the film's release.
Retailers please note: This project is resolicited. All previous orders are
cancelled. Resolicited; on sale November 2, 8.625" x 11.625", 176 pg., $39.99,
