The Art of Multitasking
Jackman stars in three roles opposite Rachel Weisz in Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain. In the film, which hurdles through space and time, all of Jackman's characters – he plays a medical researcher, a Spanish conquistador, and a 26th century space voyager – live during different points of history.
