When they first announced he was doing \”The Wolverine,\” I thought it was a terrible idea. But the more I thought about it, it seemed like it was probably going to be awesome and also give his career a potentially Nolan/Batman sized boost. Guess we\’ll never know…

\”Matt Reeves (Jackman and 20th Century Fox, pay attention, he would be a great choice!) \”

Kevin, I thought you liked Matt Reeves.

Well, that kills all my interest in this film. Wow, talk about a hammer blow.

Enter McG, Len Wiseman, JJ Abrams and the rest of the Hack Pack!

@The Watcher: Nice catch! This is the typical bullshit studio response to creative differences. Did Aronofsky just suddenly realise he was going to be away from his family for a year?!

You know, he honestly never sounded terribly interested in it – and during his talk at Lincoln Center he said \”Taking on these things is the only way to get a gig, it\’s the only thing Hollywood is producing.\”

Did he get some offers after \”Black Swan\” did really well? Speculation is speculation though

Wasn\’t it supposed to be rated R? Five bucks says that won\’t be the case now, no matter who else is directing.

LOL, yeah. It was never gonna be rated R. Not a chance in hell.

The day Darren announces his next film is when we will really know what happened. If it goes anywhere other than Fox then you know some pretty brutal battles were fought behind closed doors at Fox. If you cross Roth expect him to torpedo your next project no matter what you lats film did for them.

Its a shame because i was looking forward to it. I would be happy with JJ Abrams. What film do people consider him a hack ? Star Trek ? No i liked Star Trek (But again i ain\’t a trekie) so i would be pretty glad to see someone like Abrams in the helm. But none the less, they should get David Slade to do it. Its only fair.

Matt Reaves should do this! I think he\’s available, too.

BTW, are they even going to be able to film in Japan anyway? Last time I checked they have their own set of problems.

I was excited for this, until I saw the god awful black swan and realized Araonofsky\’s lost it and is too busy picking out sweaters and trying to appear cool and artistic to actually make decent movies.

This is good news as far as I\’m concerned. And really, Matt Reeves? What is with you people?

This film doesn\’t need Aronofsky to be good. He is terriffic, but there are plenty capable out there to take the reigns. It would have been different, thats for sure. Maybe they should hire james gunn. He was ripping on DC films at Warners, maybe Fox should hire him since he apparently wouldn\’t screw thing up, lol

Smart move on Aronofsky\’s part.

Does anyone genuinely still care about the direction of this franchise? This is just another series of movies that have long exhausted anything creative to say and Fox has recurrently shown that it simply doesn\’t care about seriously adapting it\’s properties.
