Breakthrough: What is it about, premiere and cast of Darren Aronofsky’s film with The Rock

Breakthrough It combines two elements that perhaps we did not imagine together: the direction of Darren Aronofskyfamous for its confrontational Movies On the interior of the mind of complex characters, with the performance of The Rockwho rather carries a trajectory as the protagonist of action films, without necessarily focusing on the psyche and its problems.

After all, Darren Aronofsky He has given us Movies As a requiem for a dream (which disturbed us all at the time of being released), mother, the whale, the black swan, among others that focus on the mental and social processes of addictions, fears and obsession; while The Rockcharacter of Dwayne Johnsonhas participated in films such as King Scorpión, The Fast and the Furious, Fast Five, Black Adam, among others, which are rather of the genre of action and distribution and commercial sale, focused on maintaining tension through intense stories in terms of their facts, but not so much about the mind of a character.

And who could unite these two worlds? Of course, a production of A24. And although the producer has not made official comments about the film yet, it is a fact that is the master mind behind this meeting.
