According to NY Mag, a Superman remake may be in the works. Behind the new movie will be Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Black Swan) and Christopher Nolan (Batman Returns, Inception). I just got goosebumps.

The LAT notes that Aronofsky “has famously resisted taking on bigger-budget studio pictures in the interest of retaining creative control,” but that’s not quite true; in fact, Aronofsky once spent significant time developing both a Robocop reboot and a pre-Nolan adaptation of Batman: Year One, and the superhero-inclined director was even mentioned as in the running for Wolverine 2. Natalie Portman, start working on your Lois Lane.

OMG I love them! I love both of them! I think Rachel Weisz is beautiful and brilliant, and Darren Aronofsky is my absolute favorite director (runner up is Christopher Nolan).  I’ve seen each one of Darren’s movies (even Pi!) and even though there are fewer than 10 movies under his belt, the last three have been unbelievable. First major hit was the haunting and genius Requiem for a Dream. Next came the movie that starred his wife Rachel and Hugh Jackman in The Fountain. And who can forget Mickey Rourke in Darren’s last movie, The Wrestler. Darren is a genius.

I checked what’s up next for Darren, and I’m already hooked – based on the little information that I found!

Black Swan is a supernatural drama is set in the world of New York City Ballet. Natalie Portman stars as a veteran ballerina who finds herself “locked in to a competitive showdown with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance.” But it isn’t as simple as that — the big twist is that Portman’s character is not sure whether her rival is a supernatural apparition or if she is having delusions. Mila Kunis is playing the rival dancer named Lilly. Film is set to begin filming this fall in NYC!
