Aronofsky Signs Up to Direct “Machine Man”
Darren Aronofsky continues to fill out his dance in the wake of the buzz he is generating from his “Black Swan” supernatural drama. While he waits for his deal to close to direct “Wolverine 2,” the filmmaker has signed on to develop and direct “Machine Man,” a cybernetic thriller for Mandalay, which sees him reunite with “Swan” co-writer Mark Heyman. Machine is based on a partial manuscript by Max Barry that Mandalay picked up last year. Aronofsky and Mandalay will work with Heyman to adapt the book for the screen, in the hopes of making it his project after he shoots “Wolverine 2.” Cathy Schulman will produce via the Mandalay banner.
