- ARONOFSKY HAS TO GIVE HIS BLACK SWAN SOME XOXO
Darren
Aronofsky might not be directing this film, since he is trying to build Noah’s
Ark, but he is producing XOXO,
from a screenplay by his Black Swan
writer Mark Heyman. Lionsgate have just picked up the rights.

XOXO ("Kiss Hug Kiss
Hug") is a high-concept piece based around a Facebook stalker. All
involved are admirably up-front about its being "Fatal Attraction for the social networking age". It involves
an up-and-coming city type with a perfectly nice fiancée, who nevertheless
enjoys a bit of online flirting with people he meets on the interweb. As you
might suspect, one of these online dalliances starts to go rather wrong.
Now except
for his friend Mark Heyman, you might be wondering what attracted Aronofsky to
the project, but Variety are describing some technical gimmicks that might
explain his interest. XOXO will
make use of "streaming video and other social media platforms, as well as stylized
visual sequences" to tell its tale.
What does that mean
for the film, is really anyone’s guess, so why don’t you try your hand at
guessing and let us know what you think is up with this film.
XOXO is a while away from
production, with no director yet attached
