Aronofsky To Direct Wolverine Sequel?

With things in place for a story and script, all that's set is a director to helm the vision of Wolverine on screen once more. And after the disappointing drivel that was action heavy and brain-light X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it's safe to say that Gavin Hood won't be invited to Japan (the setting of the new movie and comic book arch they're basing it off of). It was disappointing to watch that train wreck itself too, considering Tsotsi and Rendition were real good films.


But now Deadline Hollywood has the skinny on the next move for the franchise. Could Darren Aronofsky have the chair to himself? Hit the jump button to read more and him and David Slade (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) in the running.

A Review: The Twilight Saga: Eclispe

I'll start with this: David Slade better thank his lucky fuckin' stars for being able to make this, after his comments about how he'd rather take a bullet then see a screening of the original Twilight.  

Why Summit decided he was still a fine choice is beyond me. I'm sure they saw the obvious badassness of 30 Days of Night and figured, "Why the hell not, it was still a freaky fuckin' vamp movie. Was it not?" It was. Too bad Summit didn't let him inject that dreadful fear and grim atmosphere into this franchise's current installment.

But Wait! There's more!
