I always thought that the search for the fountain of youth was like, an interesting subject that was very commercial — people have been thinking about that for a long time,” Aronofsky said. “When we did The Fountain it was definitely in the realm of science fiction. But it’s been interesting over the last 15 to 20 years watching a lot of that science fiction become actual science.
