Darren Aronofsky Exits Wolverine Movie

Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky has pulled out of the latest X-Men spin-off for personal reasons.

The acclaimed moviemaker reveals he cannot commit to spending so much time away from his family, shooting the action film X-Men Origins: Wolverine on location in places like disaster-hit Japan.

A statement from the filmmaker to Deadline.com reads, "As I talked more about the film with my collaborators at (film studio) Fox, it became clear that the production of The Wolverine would keep me out of the country for almost a year.

"I was not comfortable being away from my family for that length of time."

Aronofsky and his longtime partner Rachel Weisz separated last year . The British actress is the mother of the director's young son Henry.
