Fox Studios is apparently not at all happy with Darren Aronofsky stepping away from his commitment to The Wolverine. They are launching a breach of contract against the director in hopes of scaring him back in line.

Fox’s Press Release states:

We had so much faith in Aronofsky’s vision for The Wolverine and this was our chance to come back from any of that negative buzz from X-Men Wolverine Origins.

He was our Christopher Nolan. He was about to give the X-Men films the gravitas to be taken as seriously as The Dark Knight.

But now all that is gone and we don’t have a clue who can fill those shoes.

Our intention is to present him with a legal conflict strong enough to make him reconsider leaving. If we can’t have this amazing film maker in our ranks, we are going to make him regret leaving.

It concerns me that they are at such a loss over Aronofsky. I really wanted to see what he could do with The Wolverine, and seeing how much faith Fox had in this just makes me wish it was happening even more.

However I do think they are really biting off more than they can chew attempting to sue him back into submission.

I can’t see that working, and if it does, I cant see that as a good work environment.

Yes, this was in fact an April Fool’s Joke Not my best, however I haven’t gone a year without one and I didn’t have time to write a better one. Thanks for playing along.
