He stated that his reason for leaving the project is that he would be out of the country for too long. Of course, the film was to largely take place in Japan, so one has to wonder if the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami and the ongoing nuclear concerns in the stricken country played into this decision.

Aronofsky 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."

Hugh Jackman and FOX are currently in search for a director once again.


  • THE SUPERMAN WE KNOW & DONT

Zack Snyder has stated that Superman will be redone in a whole new way, but will keep certain elements of the comic character.

The director said, "Literally, the one thing that everyone can start to think about is that we're making a movie that finally goes with the approach that there's been no other Superman movies.
If you look at Batman Begins, there's that structure: there's the canon that we know about and respect, but on other hand there's this approach that pre-supposes that there haven't been any other movies. In every aspect of design and of story, the whole thing is very much from that perspective of 'Respect the canon but don't be a slave to the movies."

He also praised his producer and collaborator on the reboot, Bat-filmmaker Christopher Nolan. Snyder said "there's a great give-and-take about (their relationship), a great conversation that we can have about it and making it better every day. And by the way, he's hilarious too."
