Thank god! I knew it! Darren Aronofsky has put himself in a great position whatever movie he makes now will be good, and there is no reason to waste a good movie on Hugh Jackman and Wolverine Suck 2. I am so pleased! The weakest of Aronofsky's films, The Fountain, also happens to star our superhero friend Jack-Man. I also question the integrity of destroying the first film, which although extremely terrible and i hated it, it had a loyal fan base, and had heavy support until it was off the dvd racks. And those loyal fans were completely ignored when four movie wolverine franchise star Jack-Man denounced the first film. It was all forgotten about when Aron of the Sky stepped in the picture, but without him, wolverine 2 will quickly sink, the good directors are busy.
There is more to Aronofsky's decision than being "away from his family for too long." He is not making the Wolverine because it is a terrible move for his current success (sure if he could have shat it out in a couple months it might have been okay). Superman would have been a good film for him to make and have ownership of, so I bet he finds something else in the comic book world. I believe this was also part of the back out, that Aron of the Sky has found another comic project that puts wolverine 2 to shame. I am guessing it is Neil Gaiman's Sandman. The Sandman might be exactly it, it is a very Aronofskyish story. Recent news has been leaning away from a movie and towards a TV series for the Sandman. In the past week the series was canceled and then "reawakened". Perhaps it was canceled as a TV show and reawakened as a film. Or could it be something else maybe, any guesses of another comic book franchise he might grab on to, that has not been touched?
And I just want to add, although I eventually came to terms with Aronofsky's decision, in my heart's heart I really had lost some faith in the director who I have come to respect, and was blown away by his tight wonderful film Black Swan. Faith regained! Truly a Saint Patrick's Day Miracle, so get your green on!
