When we sat down with The Fountain director Darren Aronofsky last month, we asked him about his future slate.

"They are all nonsense. All of them in development are nonsense. Don't listen to the imdb or any of the internet chatter," Aronofsky told slashfilm.com. "We are developing a lot of new stuff. We're developing something that is really REALLY big and we're also developing something that is really REALLY small. And I don't know which will be first, it depends on what we put together first. But we haven't put either together yet."

Aronofsky later revealed to CHUD that his next big movie is a Biblical Epic in english for a major studio.

"It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. Before Pi. Probably ten years ago, I had an idea. Actually, I wrote a poem about it when I was in 7th grade. I won this award for it -- my first writing award," Aronofsky revealed. "So it's a story from the Bible that kind of stuck with me. About ten years ago I was at a museum that featured an exhibit that reminded me of it. So we've been trying to crack it for a while, and we finally figured out a direction. But…I can't tell you any more."

The only other details so far come from Steve Silberman's WiReD Magazine article: "It's another fantasy film. Unfortunately, it's an even bigger idea than The Fountain," Aronofsky says. "So it's going to take some time to do. But hopefully not six years."
 
As for Lone Wolf and Cub, the Requiem director admits that all is lost: "Paramount never got the rights. And we developed a script, but now the rights don't exist."

LOST Lost?: Aronofsky was originally attached to direct an episode of the hit television show LOST, but was forced to bow out of due to scheduling conflicts. LOST fanboys have hoped that another episode may be in Darren's future, but it doesn't look good. When slashfilm.com had the oppurtunity to ask the man about his LOST future, he replied: "I don't know... we'll see what happens, if the schedule worked... But I really wanted to do it but it got messed up."
