Darren Aronofsky No Longer Directing 20th Century Fox's THE WOLVERINE



Stated Aronofsky: "As I talked more about the film with my collaborators at Fox, it became clear that the production of ‘The Wolverine’ would keep me out of the country for almost a year.  I was not comfortable being away from my family for that length of time.  I am sad that I won't be able to see the project through, as it is a terrific script and I was very much looking forward to working with my friend, Hugh Jackman, again."

 Stated Twentieth Century Fox:  "While we are of course disappointed that Darren can’t do ‘The Wolverine’, we also understand and respect his reasons.  Having done both ‘The Wrestler’ and ‘Black Swan’ with Darren, we know he is an extraordinary talent and we look forward to working with him on other projects in the future. Hugh Jackman and Fox both remain fully committed to making ‘The Wolverine’.  We will regroup and move forward aggressively."


itsOneO.com Translation: 20th Century Fox didn't want to give Aronofsky the creative control he deserves as a director. Fox wants to make a crappy movie by throwing in pointless guest features/gimmicks, and Aronofsky doesn't so he left. So now Fox will find some shameless back-up director who cares only about the check & another sub-par money grab X-Men movie will be made.
