Riding high on the huge festival success of his latest film The Wrestler, director Darren Aronofsky has been spewing about the Noah's Ark project he's been developing for years: "we have an amazing screenplay. It's a great script and it's HUGE. And we're starting to feel out talent. And then we'll probably try and set it up." The talented helmer is confident that studios will go for it as it "deals with the end of the world and it's the second most famous ship after the Titanic. So I'm not sure why any studio won't want to make it. I think it's really timely because it's about environmental apocalypse which is the biggest theme, for me, right now for what's going on on this planet. So I think it's got these big, big themes that connect with us. Noah was the first environmentalist. He's a really interesting character. Hopefully they'll let me make it." He'll next direct a Robocop reboot, so his chance to make his dream 'Noah' project may rest on the success of that film; or his name being called out on a podium next spring.
