It's been a quiet two months for
Darren Aronofsky who broke the hearts of geeks everywhere when he
pulled out of making The Wolverine with
Hugh Jackman just days after the Japanese tsunami - but a report at
Vulture tonight emerges and hints at what could end up being his next film. They say the Oscar nominated
Black Swan director has dusted off a fifteen year old sci-fi spec script titled
Human Nature from
Jeff Welch at Warner Bros, a screenwriter once attached to write a Doc. Strange movie that never happened. Human Nature has caught the interest of
George Clooney who has effectively attached himself as 'a man who is cryogenically frozen and wakes up years later to a world in which humans have become pets of another species' - which is more or less the plot of
Planet of the Apes, isn't it?
Akiva Goldsman will produce and is working on a budget now but it all sounds like it's early days.
