This is a film I have been following for quite some time. Not only is it Aronofsky's first film in which he hasn't written, but is directing (except an older less known film called Fortune Cookie), but it also boasts the return of Mickey Rourke to the big screen in terms of serious acting.



Not only does this film look excellent, but Rourke seems to have knocked it out of the park. This trailer is so sweet I have watched it close to 20 times already. It's that good. I am eagerly awaiting this film.

On a side note, I haven't heard much Oscar buzz for this, or for Rourke's performance - but judging from the trailer, it may get some buzz once the full release happens.
