Darren Aronofsky’s follow-up to his sleeper success, Black Swan, has been talked about for since the summer of last year, and though it sounds like it’s been progressing nicely, it’s been missing one important thing: a cast. It looks like that could all be changing. Christian Bale was first in talks for the titular role [...]
News of Darren Aronofsky’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning film, Black Swan, first surfaced back in June last year, when it surfaced that he was looking to make a big-budget epic film based on the story of Noah’s ark, entitled, Noah.

News first came back at the start of June that Darren Aronofsky had settled on his next film to follow up from the Oscar-winning Black Swan, and it would be a biblical epic, Noah. Swiftly after that, we heard that Christian Bale was in talks for the lead, which sounded like a brilliant match. With [...]
Darren Aronofsky has managed to get the green-light for his tale of the Biblical flood survived by Noah and his family as recorded in Genesis and so his graphic novel version of the same story, which would have been an attempt to drum up enough studio interest to secure that green-light, can now see the [...]
Hugh Jackson has been talking up the planned sequel to 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine during his publicity tour for Real Steel. You may recall that Darren Aronofsky was originally at the helm for the continuing saga of the Adamantium-coated one with a script which was set in Japan for the majority of the action. Journeyman [...]
We got the awesome news back in June that Darren Aronofsky had in his sights an utterly epic film, of literally biblical proportions, for his next directorial effort following up the immense Black Swan of last year.

This year’s line-up for the 68th Venice Film Festival, taking place between 31st August and 10th September, has been announced by the festival’s official website, and as expected, it’s more than a little bit fantastic, with a brilliant line-up of films set to screen in Italy.

After director Darren Aronofsky left The Wolverine project back in March, 20th Century Fox and leading actor Hugh Jackman have found their replacement in James Mangold with negotiations now set to get underway, Deadline report.

After news came last week that writer-director Darren Aronofsky is looking to make a movie about the biblical story of the Great Flood, entitled Noah, Vulture are now reporting that Christian Bale is in talks to star in what would presumably be the lead role. Aronofsky’s vision for the film is a great one, and [...]
Darren Aronofsky is looking to direct an epic re-telling of the story behind Noah’s Ark, entitled, Noah, Deadline reports. The project is one that he has written himself, and the script is being rewritten by John Logan, whose work is immensely impressive, including some of my favourite films: Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Sweeney Todd, and [...]
Entering the crowded arena of horror movies swoops Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, with grace and style enough to show up the borrowed nostalgia scares and toothless gorefrenzies of modern horror films for what they are, and in doing so giving me one of my favourite films of last year. The merits of Darren Aronofsky’s latest [...]
Ever since Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Pi, Requiem for a Dream) jumped ship from The Wolverine, we have wondered which beach he would finally wash up on.

With Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” currently being showered with countless accolades and awards for the likes of Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director it’s perhaps fitting that we should take time out to appreciate the film’s stunning FX work.
