Aronofsky, Hawke Lead Small NYC Delegation to Venice in '06
Congrats to Darren Aronofsky, Ethan Hawke and... and... that's about it for New Yorkers premiering their latest films at the Venice Film Festival starting Aug. 30. Although I guess Neil LaBute and his Wicker Man remake count for something, while The Devil Wears Prada and World Trade Center will also be screening out of competition.

But the geek cavalcade is already suiting up for Aronofsky's The Fountain, the big-budget mind-fuck fantasy that Gothamites will likely get their first glimpse at during this year's New York Film Festival. A little less prick-engorging is Hawke's The Hottest State, the actor's directing debut that so cruelly turned Chelsea street parking on its ear before God smote its production HQ last spring.
I will defer to Venice's Web site for a list of 2006's remaining selections (including, at long last, David Lynch's Inland Empire), and I wish Aronofsky the best in bringing the Golden Lion back home to Brooklyn. Or the East Village. Or wherever the hell he and Rachel Weisz have the baby furniture set up these days.
