We don’t want to project too much, but it seemed like a bit of a sore subject. When we asked about the status and how the film was supposed to begin shooting in the fall and what happened [Aronofsky] replied, “Well, we’re having some problems casting it.” We probed a little further and asked whether the two leads were still on board and Aronofsky seemed a bit bummed when he tersely said that Pitt had left the project, “Brad’s not involved,” he told us. When we tried to get a bit more and asked what project we’d see of his on the big screen next he said simply, “We’ll see what happens.” He wasn’t vexed at that last [question], but was more keeping his cards close to his chest it seemed.
