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.
