One of the more appealing aspects of the project might be notion of shooting in Japan, and Deadline says that Darren Aronofsky’s directing deal is close enough to done that a schedule is being drawn up for the film. That includes shooting on stages in New York, so the director and star can be near their families, and then shooting the bulk of the film on location in Japan.
I revisited Pi and The Guerilla Diaries, Mr. Aronofsky’s written account of making his first feature, over the weekend, and bookending that with Wolverine 2 is difficult. I’d encourage anyone interested in the director to read The Guerilla Diaries. While the trials and tribulations of a first-time director are familiar to most people with a strong interest in film, Darren Aronofsky describes his own in such a way as to make them fresh and unique. I’d love to read a similar diary about the making of Wolverine 2. The book is out of print, but there are used copies to be had.
