Darren Aronofsky leaves The Wolverine

Well, shit. I think the headline speaks for itself. What more can I say? Deadline covers the story better than I ever could. According to them Aronosky said, “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.”

Sounds pretty lame to me. But, it is a personal decision and it happens. The essence of Aronofsky is now gone from the project. The dude is the ultimate flake-out artist. The word is that it has nothing to do with Japan’s recent crisis, but instead, it is just what he claims: He doesn’t want to be away from his son.

What’s next for The Wolverine? Fuck if I know. I just feel bad for Hugh Jackman who is killing himself right now physically. I hope someone dope comes in and finishes the movie. Isn’t Cary Fukunaga available? Whatever. On a side, why does Aronofsky still have that mustache? Again, he looks like a jewish John Waters.
