For Mother!, Darren Aronofsky rehearsed with his actors for three months before filming

We don’t know much about Darren Aronofsky’s new film Mother!, aside from our own Ignatiy Vishnevetsky calling it “the most irrational piece of filmmaking that [he] has produced since his black-and-white debut, Pi,” after a screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. In the video above, we did manage to pry one detail out of Aronofsky himself about the filmmaking process itself: He rehearsed with his actors for three months before filming, a full month longer than the actual filming lasted.
