As dmbiii questioned on Instagram, “will the ark be built [here]”? Darren’s “hmmm” caption certainly has us thinking just that. Of course, he could just be teasing us all, which is certainly believable.

Paramount Interested in Aronofsky's George Washington Film

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 09:20:00 -0400

Paramount Interested in Aronofsky's George Washington Film:

Paramount Pictures is in negotiations to acquire “The General,” a George Washington pic with Darren Aronofsky attached to produce and direct from a script by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage.

…

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but sources tell Variety that the script is more of an “Unforgiven”-like tale rather than a straight historical drama. Paramount had no comment on the negotiations.

Could this be something like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter? A tongue-in-cheek Aronofsky film would be interesting. I suspect with a title like The General, it’s probably not going to be, though. It seems Aronofsky likes “The” titles (The Fountain, The Wrestler and was allegedly once attached to The Fighter).

Update: Looks like the man himself weighed in on Twitter. Aronofsky calls the script a “a raw portrait of the man becoming an American” and is “not sure where the Unforgiven comparison comes from.”

Russell Crowe, Liam Neeson for Noah?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:13:00 -0500

Russell Crowe, Liam Neeson for Noah?:

Darren Aronofsky is ready to set sail on Noah, the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark. I’m hearing that the Black Swan director wants Russell Crowe to play the title role in the New Regency/Paramount film.

I have also heard Aronofsky wants The Grey star Liam Neeson for another role.

~~Crowe is rumored to be wanted for the RoboCop remake, as well.~~ The Neeson role sounds like it could be the “villain”. Regardless, it appears a lot of details are in flux and none of this news should be taken as fact.
