[Tuesday, April 27th, 2004]
Hugh JackmanHugh Jackman says he will have a major role in Darren Aronofsky's Sci-Fi epic movie The Fountain. "I play three characters, and it's basically about the search for the Fountain of Youth," Jackman told Sci-Fi Wire.

"It is really an extraordinary [film]," he said. "I think Darren could become, in the final analysis, another Kubrick. I think he's an amazing director, and he's written a script that is just phenomenal. I'm honored to be a part of it, I really am; I'm very excited about it."

Brad Pitt had been previously attached to the project, but later dropped. The movie was also thought to be been delayed for a year when co-star Cate Blanchett got pregnant.
