Darren Aronofsky MIGHT direct Wolverine 2

Aronofsky has been attached to dozens of films that ended up not happening. But maybe the greatest director of his generation is going to cash-in. I don’t really believe it, but this article from Deadline has my dick hard. The article reports that,

Word is that Aronofsky–who worked for next to nothing upfront to get Black Swan made is in the throes of landing a healthy payday in the vicinity of $5 million against 5% of gross.

Say whaaaat? 5 million with 5% gross? That’s Will Smith-type money. Considering that the first made almost 400 million bucks, while being one of the worst films ever made, as well as being downloaded a bizillion times before it even came out. If this movie is good, Aronofsky might earn up to twenty million bucks. Woot, woot.

After almost a decade of making great cult-films Aronofsky is selling out. It is about fucking time if you ask me. Aronofsky said once that he only earned fifty thousand dollars for Requiem for a Dream. Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money, but over a few years? You could make more money as a manager at McDonalds. A project which equated to about two and half to three years of work. It is also said that he earned almost nothing for The Wrestler and Black Swan as well.

My fear, however, is that Aronofsky will quit or be fired when Twenieth Century Fox wants to make a stupid, cheesy film. X-men Origins: Wolverine was proof-positive that the comic book movie-era was coming to an end, in terms of quality. And claims that Synder did justice to the X-men series is just not true.

I’m hardly a fanboy, but I was a huge comic book reader when I was young and loved the X-men animated series. No film has ever done justice to the either. Yes, the X-men series is better than its counterparts, but Wolverine was one of the worst comic book films ever made.

Anyway, I’m crossing my fingers for D-$.
