Darren Aronofsky Says His Batman Movies Would Have Been "Grittier" Than Christopher Nolan's Trilogy


Darren Aronofsky

When it comes to seeing the World's Greatest Detective on the big screen, the majority of superhero fans would point to Christopher Nolan's 'Dark Knight' trilogy - made up of 'Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight', and 'The Dark Knight Rises' - as the best comic book adaptations the world has ever seen.

Still, there was a point when 'Black Swan' director Darren Aronofsky may have had his own Batman movie - titled 'Batman: Year One' - go into production. If that had happened, who knows if we'd have ever seen the Nolan series come to fruition?

Jennifer Lawrence Splits From Darren Aronofsky


Jennifer Lawrence Darren Aronofsky

Jennifer Lawrence has split from Darren Aronofsky, bringing to an end their romance which lasted for just over a year.

The Oscar-winning Hunger Games actress, 27, has parted ways amicably with 48 year old director Aronofsky, having called it quits just over a month ago, according to a report by Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday (November 22nd).

The former couple met in 2016, when Lawrence starred in Aronofsky’s psychological horror movie Mother!, which was released a couple of months ago in cinemas to a rather divided reception.

Mother Review

Very Good

Darren Aronofsky doesn't make fluffy movies, and has only had one genuine misfire (2014's Noah). His best films are unforgiving explorations of artistic ambition (Black Swan), addiction (Requiem for a Dream) or mortality (The Wrestler), admittedly big themes. But this bonkers family horror movie perhaps has more in common with his ambitious existential sci-fi epic The Fountain: this is a resolutely symbolic movie that's impossible to take literally. And yet it still freaks us out.

 

It's set in a huge isolated house, which a young woman (Jennifer Lawrence) has been restoring for her older poet husband (Javier Bardem) after it burned down. Just as it's beginning to look good, and she starts thinking about starting a family, the husband invites a stranger (Ed Harris) to stay, and he encroaches on their hospitality by inviting his pushy wife (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their bickering sons (real-life brothers Domhnall and Brian Gleeson). After causing some chaos, they finally leave, the wife falls pregnant and the husband's writers' block finally breaks. But his new book inspires so much adulation from his fans that their happiness is in jeopardy.

Darren Aronofsky Responds To Negative 'mother!' Reviews


Darren Aronofsky

Rarely does a movie come out to such differing opinions as 'mother!' has done this past month, from director and writer Darren Aronofsky. Though the premise of the film doesn't sound all too alarming - a couple's relationship put to the test when they get unwanted and uninvited guests at their home - the extravaganza that awaits those brave enough to watch is truly horrifying and unique.

Some critics love 'mother!', whilst others absolutely hate it. There seems to be no middle ground for those who go and see the thriller, and we imagine that this is something Aronofsky was aiming for when he made the film.

Darren Aronofsky Calls Mother! A Hand Grenade


Darren Aronofsky

Never one to make a safe movie, filmmaker Darren Aronofsky wasn't surprised when his latest film Mother! was both cheered and booed when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival last week. As the dust settles, it's being tipped as an Oscar frontrunner.

"Most people, after they see the film, they don't even want to look at me," Aronofsky laughs. "But I don't care if they cheer or they freaking boo, as long as they react. This film is like tossing a hand grenade into pop culture! It's a cruise missile shooting into a wall. Surrealism is very rare nowadays, and it's interesting how many people don't remember that all movies are living, waking dreams."

Mother! Trailer


A young woman (Jennifer Lawrence) and her older husband (Javier Bardem) have the most perfect solitary life, spending all their time together in their beautiful and peaceful country home. But their paradise is about to be threatened with the arrival of an older couple (Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer), who appear to mistake their home for a bed and breakfast. The young woman's husband is accommodating to them despite their mistake and her serious reservations about letting strangers sleep in their house. Pretty soon this union of two couples turns into a bloody tale of fear, insanity and a whole load of weirdness - more people arrive at the sanctuary and the young woman's husband seems to be somebody else completely. Now it's a game of survival - God help you.
