Warner Bros. Pictures said Monday that it has moved Darren Aronofsky's "The Fountain" to Nov. 22, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The move now pits "Fountain" against Buena Vista's Thanksgiving release, the Tony Scott-directed "Deja Vu."

Both films center on the theme of a man time-traveling in order to save the woman he loves.

Starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, "Fountain," from Warners and Regency Enterprises, centers on one man's thousand-year struggle to save the woman he loves. "Deja Vu" is the story of an ATF agent who travels back in time to save a woman from being murdered, falling in love with her during the process.

At this point, Buena Vista has no plans to shift its release.

"We are so proud of 'The Fountain,' and opening on the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving will give more people a chance to see what we think is Darren's finest work," Warners president of domestic distribution at Dan Fellman said.

The film, which will play the 63rd Venice Film Festival in early September, originally was slated to bow Oct. 13.

"The extra month will also allow time to build a bigger long-lead campaign and generate greater word-of-mouth in the weeks leading up to the opening," Fellman added.

Other films set to bow during the holiday weekend include MGM's "Bobby," from director Emilio Estevez; 20th Century Fox's family comedy "Deck the Halls"; and the Universal Pictures comedy "Let's Go to Prison."
