George Clooney may play a house pet for Darren Aronofsky
Any reports of Darren Aronofsky’s “next project” are typically as solid (and sexy!) as the director’s ’stache—and these days even a commitment doesn’t necessarily mean anything—so definitely take this story with a grain of blog salt: Vulture reports that Aronofsky is considering making his first post-Black Swan project the sci-fi film Human Nature, a long-dormant script by little-known screenwriter Jeff Welch that’s been kicking around for almost 15 years now. Supposedly the project (which will most likely need a name change to avoid confusion with this) also has George Clooney attached to star as a man awakened from cryogenic storage only to find that humans have become the pets of another species. And of course, who wouldn’t want to own a purebred like George Clooney, with his gentle demeanor and big, puppy-dog eyes?
