Rachel Weisz’s latest film has made waves in Venice.The Fountain, directed by her fiance Darren Aronofsky, was booed at its first screening.Audiences were left perplexed by the film, which spans 1,000 years and features X-Men star Hugh Jackman as a 16th century Spanish explorer, 21st century scientist and 26th century astronaut searching for the Fountain of Youth in order to save the life of the woman he loves.Originally it was set to star Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, but that project fell through. The 35 million dollar movie (£18.3 million) was also turned down repeatedly by movie studios until Warner Brothers decided to back it.

 SAMUEL L JACKSON and the cast and crew of highly-anticipated summer action film SNAKES ON A PLANE were called back for reshoots, so movie executives could add more swear words and a sex scene. The PULP FICTION star was thrilled when producers decided to make the mid-air thriller an 18-rated film because he felt the drama should be grittier. And he’s delighted a mile-high-club sex scene in an airplane toilet was added. He says, "There’s always the obligatory nude scene somewhere, where the guy’s creeping up on the people making love. "In this instance we have the snake creeping up on two people joining the mile high club." In the film, Jackson plays a detective escorting a high-profile witness on a plane, which is overrun by venomous snakes, and the movie star insists the film will be a smash-hit – despite its simple premise. He adds, "This is the kind of film that I would have gone to the movie on Saturday, to the first screening, to see as a kid and I’d stay all day, watching it three or four times and me and my friends would have been freaked out."
