Darren Aronofsky broke hearts around the world on March 17th 2011. I’m not convinced that I will ever be able to forgive this travesty of a decision he made on that fateful day as I think it was an insult to the

Two months after Darren Aronofsky announced that he wouldn’t be making The Wolverine, Vulture has learned that the Black Swan director has set his sights on a new film: a fifteen-year-old original sci-fi spec script called Human Nature by a little-known screenwriter named Jeff Welch. We hear that George Clooney is attaching himself to star as a man who is cryogenically frozen and wakes up years later to a world in which humans have become pets of another species.
This almost sounds like Planet of the Apes. What species is doing the enslaving? It sounds fascinating on paper, and I have faith that Aronofsky has the potential to give us a fun sci-fi movie with the Clooney man, but it sounds like Planet of the Apes and I’ve already set my sites on one “enslaved humans” movie, that looks really good, and I can’t even begin to compute this one onto the radar. I will always appreciate Aronofsky for giving us Requiem for a Dream and more, but he still has a lot of making up to do as far as I’m concerned. I’ll be sure to share news of whatever he finally chooses as his next project.
The studios would have so bastardized his vision on a movie like Wolverine, that I think it’s all really for the best. Besides, it’s not as if there aren’t good superhero movies coming out.
As for this one… sounds intriguing. Comparisons to Planet of the Apes sound a little absurd to me; I really don’t see the worry. One is an action/horror potential thriller (the new Planet), while the other seems more like speculative fiction. If anything, it sounds more like Bladerunner… if the robots had won.
I trust in Aranonfsky to make something deeply interesting and compelling, and Clooney is one of the more talented actors out there, so I’m almost certainly game.
Yup. It’s all the producers and studio heads in charge when it comes to releasing big budget comic book movies.
Yup, that pretty much nails it. He dodged the bullet on that one if you ask me.
This guy shouldn’t be limited/told what to do with his film choices.
He probally woke up one morning and realized the Suits aren’t worth the energy when it comes to a comic book adaptations, especially one that bombed and pissed off the Loyal fans. you know they would have been all over his ass on the next one.
Good Riddance
This sounds tasty
