Darren Aronofsky Talks about THE WOLVERINE

As much as I hated X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I can't help but be really excited for The Wolverine because Darren Aronofsky is directing it. The guy is an extremely talented filmmaker, and I know he won't end up making a crappy movie. 

As you know, the next Wolverine film is going to be based on the classic Frank Miller Wolverine mini-series, which is set in Japan. It sounds like Aronofsky is going to have a lot of fun with this setting.

"There's all the samurai elements that are really exciting. I'm a big fan of Japanese movies, we're going to try to have a good time." Aronofsky confirmed that he'll be casting a lot of Japanese actors, but is still unsure whether they'll be speaking in Japanese or English. "It's still under discussion, we'll see what happens."

I would love it if they would speak in Japanese.  It would give the story a more authentic feel.  As far as the script for the film goes the director says,

Chris McQuarrie wrote a great screenplay. We're trying to get it into a slightly better place but he's working on it, and I think it'll be easy to fix. Chris is an amazing writer and I'm very lucky to have him as a collaborator.

Aronofsky hasn't had a lot of time to work on The Wolverine yet.  He says that they haven't even started to "gear up." Right now he's focusing on promoting his new film Black Swan. Once he's done with that he is going to fully jump in on The Wolverine action.
