Darren Aronofsky returns to Venice after the lukewarm reception here two years ago of his New Age movie “The Fountain,” starring his partner Rachel Weisz. His new in-competition offering will be “The Wrestler,” with Mickey Rourke playing a pro who has been forced into retirement by health problems, and makes a comeback with the aid of an ex-stripper (Marisa Tomei) to fight a final match with his arch rival.

PS. I haven´t found any more information so I´m not sure if Rachel and Darran will visit Venice this year.

Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz + Academy Award winner Adrien Brody + Academy Award nominee Rinko Kikuchi + Mark Ruffalo + writer/director Rian Johnson (the mastermind behind Brick) = The Brothers Bloom, a con-man comedy with a little romance thrown in. Haven’t heard much about this Summit Entertainment release yet? You soon will as Johnson’s second feature film marches toward its October 24, 2008 release date with buzz building – for a good reason. Based on about 30 minutes worth of screened footage, The Brothers Bloom moved way up on my personal list of end of the year films I can’t wait to see.

Summit Entertainment and writer/director Johnson invited About.com to a special edit bay visit where Johnson was hard at work putting the finishing touches on The Brothers Bloom. The first bit of footage Johnson offered up was the opening six minutes of the film, which sets up the backstory of brothers Steven (Mark Ruffalo) and Bloom (Adrien Brody). Narrated by Ricky Jay, the scene shows the beginnings of the brothers’ lifelong fascination with cons. Steven’s really the instigator, mapping out detailed stories of how each con will go down, with Bloom simply going along with his brother and playing out his role in Steven’s plans.
