The only details that have been released thus far about this project is that it's a "science fiction epic" in a "post-Matrix" vein. I would not presume that the conjuring of The Matrix necessarily means that this is a cyber-sci-fi film (although it could be; Pi was certainly in similar territory). It's also known to involve South America somehow. (6/12/02) A report over at AICN says that the film starts with a battle between the Spaniards and the Mayans, before jumping ahead a thousand years to the year 2,500 when one of the men from the beginning is still alive, and on his way to meet God. It sounds *wild*, but so does a short description of Aronofsky's "Pi" (which *was* quite wild, too). Especially of note over there is a post in the "TalkBack", in which someone suggests that the "Fountain" in question is the Fountain of Youth that Ponce de Leon, a Spaniard, was seeking. Hmmmm... he might be onto something. (7/9/02) If you want a LOT of detail about this project, much of which is definitely "spoilers", Drew McWeeny, AKA "Moriarty" has posted a script review over at AICN. (3/12/04) The script has apparently undergone serious revisions to cut the budget nearly in half, so much of what is online about this film is now obsolete.
