Darren Aronofsky Leaves ‘Wolverine’

Darren Aronofsky and Twentieth Century Fox announced yesterday that Aronofsky would no longer directing The Wolverine. Here is what Aronofsky and Fox had to say:

“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.”

Twentieth Century Fox also released a statement saying, “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.”
