Brad Pitt, Aronofsky Project Now OFF The Track

The Fountain

Warner Bros. president-chief operating officer Alan Horn also talked about their plans on "The Fountain," reports Variety.[b]One project that is no longer on the front burner is Aronofsky's ambitious sci-fier "The Fountain" (aka "The Last Man").

"It's on hiatus," says Horn. "It was greenlit at a budget in the $60 million range, and it came in higher, so it's off the table right now. It's not a go. Everything has to work together."

When it does, 20th Century Fox-based New Regency is already in place to split the costs. "Arnon (Milchan) expressed such passion for it," Horn says. "They were able to come in on a partnership position."[b]
