Watchmen Gets Aronofsky for Director

---

Arthouse director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Pi) signed on to helm the Watchmen film.

Darren Aronofsky, once hinted to direct the new Batman movie, will instead helm the Watchmen film based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' super-hero tour de force comic series.

Ain't It Cool News says Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) will work from David Hayter's script. Hayter, who has a writing credit on the first X-Men movie, was to direct at one point but the studio sought a tried-and-true director, the site said.

Aronofsky will begin on Watchmen as soon as he finishes The Fountain.
