Darren Aronofsky’s Next To Be ‘The Tiger’ With Brad Pitt? Not ‘Wolverine 2’?

The interview comes from Quien, translated via The Playlist. Said Arriaga: “These days I’m traveling to New York to lend clarity to the last detail, in November would be doing a tour of Siberia to check locations.”
The Playlist also gathers from the interview that Angelina Jolie has been cast in the film, but let’s put that rumor to bed right now. Jolie is mentioned off-handedly in the piece in reference to her marriage with Brad Pitt, not (as far as I can tell) because she’s starring in it. Reading an English translation of the interview, I can see why there would be some confusion on the matter.
Even if Jolie isn’t re-teaming with Pitt in The Tiger though, she is meant to be working with Aronofsky on Serena, an adaptation of the novel of the same name about newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton, who create a timber empire in the Depression-era.
As for The Tiger, here’s the feature pitch:
[The Tiger] takes place on the Siberian plain, where human development is encroaching on the tigers’ habitat — and one tiger turns on the intruders. With townspeople being tracked and hunted with an almost supernatural power, a conservationist game warden must face down the tiger. It is a fight that only one of them can win.
