"Requiem for a Dream" Director will direct an episode of "Lost"
Hell, they could put this on PPV and I'd fork out the cash. Darren Aronofsky directed such indie classic movies like "Pi" and "Requeim for a Dream" both movies which are really out there but incredibly well done. Hell I still believe that Requiem's Ellyn Burstyn was robbed of an Oscar - she was 1000times better than Julia Roberts, with her Requiem role of a housewife hooked on diet pills dealing with her son the herion junkie.

I'd love to see what Afonofsky can do with an episode of Lost. You can almost guarentee it'll be out there and a tad bit creepy

2. I'm with you - I'd pay to see that too!
Requiem is by far the best made movie I've ever seen (though it's hard to call anything that emotionally damaging a "favorite"). Burstyn was indeed robbed, and anyone that can get any Wayans brother to be even mentioned as Oscar Nomination worthy is an incredible director.

On a side note, when the fuck is he putting out a new movie!?

4. 'The Fountain' is scheduled for release in 2006.
Seems a certain Brad Pitt fucked up the production of this one.
