Disney & Warner Bros. in pursuit of Darren Aronosfky

Still riding the success of "Black Swan", director Darren Aronosfky is now being approached to helm two major projects. After recently dropping out of directing the "Wolverine" sequel for 20th Century Fox, Aronofsky now has some time on his hands that Disney Pictures and Warner are both hoping to fill. 

The folks at Disney are looking for the director to take on "Maleficent," which covers the story of "Sleeping Beauty" told from the witch's perspective, while Warner is running after him for its "Moses" project, a biblical drama about Moses' attempt to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.  (via Dark Horizons)
