DARREN ARONOFSKY: reportedly in the running as director of the new SUPERMAN movie
Lots of noise about the upcoming SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL movie being produced by CHRISTOPHER NOLAN. Hot topic is who will direct? THRALL WORLD posted a handful of leading contenders a couple of days ago that included DUNCAN JONES, JONATHAN LIEBESMAN, MATT REEVES, TONY SCOTT, and ZACK SNYDER.
Here’s the latest:
The derby to helm the Christopher Nolan-produced Man of Steel pic has become the talk of the town. Nolan is knee-deep in the selection process, and he and producer/wife Emma Thomas will be heavily involved in the movie, so he’s looking for a director who is able to handle the elaborate production and willing to collaborate.
“Willing to collaborate” is new. A bigger role for Nolan as the movie is realized. This can only be a good thing.
BEN AFLLECK was apparently on the short list:
..extremely popular at Warners after making “The Town,” a critical and box-office hit. But according to insiders, the actor-director — who, ironically, once portrayed the actor who played Superman on TV in “Hollywoodland” — met about “Superman” last week but is nolonger pursuing it.
DARREN ARONOFSKY also:
..riding high on buzz generated by his upcoming “Black Swan,” is still in active talks, according to sources. But it’s early.
