Darren Aronofsky No Longer Directing THE WOLVERINE!

I have some very disappointing news for you. 20th Century Fox just issued a statement saying that Darren Aronofsky is no longer going to direct The Wolverine! That's it, There is no hope for the movie. He was the only reason I was excited about it.

Here's the statement from Aronofsky:

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."

Here's the Statement from Twentieth Century Fox: 

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.

Having a family myself, I understand how it can be hard for someone to leave their family for that long. I can't complain. There's no one to blame here. Of course we are all going to be disappointed, and the movie will most likely suck now, but that's just how life goes sometimes.
