Angelina Jolie Not Falling for Cuaron’s Gravity, Instead Pairs Up With Darren Aronofsky
Last week we reported that Angelina Jolie dropped out of Wanted 2 in order to join Alfonso Cuaron for a sci-fi thriller called Gravity, now Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Jolie has dropped out of that project as well citing Jolie’s reps claiming ‘she has passed on that film”.
So what is Jolie going to do? she has passed on two projects only to now land a pairing with director Darren Aronofsky. They are both in discussions to develop a big-screen adaptation of Ron Rash’s 2008 period novel Serena: A Novel the project would be a starring vehicle for Jolie.
“Set in the rugged mountains of 1929 North Carolina, “Serena” follows a man named George Pemberton and his new bride, Serena, as they create a timber empire. Serena not only takes to the woods, but she also pushes her husband to commit more and more ruthless acts. When she learns she cannot bear a child, Serena sets out to murder the son her husband fathered illegitimately.”
Chris Kyle wrote the screenplay for the project which is being produced by Nick Wechsler, the man behind recent high-profile adaptation such as The Road, and The Time Traveler’s Wife. Jolie will next be seen in Sony’s Salt July 23 while Aronofsky just got done wrapping Black Swan for Fox Searchlight.
