I have just read the exclusive breaking news on Deadline Hollywoods blog that Darren who in spectacular fashion directed 'Black Swan', but now he has wrote a script that is as we speak being rewritten by John Logan, and he wants to direct a film retelling of Noah's Ark but this time this retelling will be an edgier version of the story.
Aronofsky wants $130 million to get this film off the ground and so far he has the interest of New Regency but they will only put up half the cash for this and are interested in doing a co financing deal...so the other interested parties for this are:
- Paramount Pictures
- Summit Entertainment
- Fox
This film is described by Deadline as 'a fantasy epic and an oppertunity for Aronofsky to create a world'. Deadline also says that Aronofsky is very passionate about this film and wants this to be his next film. Also Aronofsky also has reluctantly agreed to do the also co financed project of 'Exodus' which he will direct along with 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainent producing, this tells the story of Moses which we all know by now but in case you don't here it is:
He is brought up to be the Pharaoh's son then finds out that actually he is really the son of a slave therefore he defies the Pharaoah and leads the slaves out of slavery, but when the Pharoah finds out he orders them all to come back then as a punishment for not letting them go the Pharaoh and his people have to endure the 9 plagues.
The script for this was written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage.
