Darren Aronofsky In Talks To Direct Channing Tatum In Evel Knievel Biopic


Channing Tatum has been pursuing a biopic about American daredevil Evel Knievel for some time, and yesterday some rumors started to spread claiming that Darren Aronofsky was circling the project currently set up at Sony Pictures.

Deadline has corroborated the rumors, and though they say that a deal is not yet in place they confirm that negotiations are happening.

The project and the character seem to be right up Aronofsky's wheelhouse, in the sense that his movies tend to be about people, whose passions turn to addictions, like in Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan, or Noah. So in a way he isn't stretching himself too much, but who can pass on a Darren Aronofsky film.

As for Tatum, my opinion on him has changed considerably over the years. Between The Eagle, Side Effects, 21 and 22 Jump Street, and Foxcatcher, Tatum has proven himself to be a more than a capable actor, and I would be interested in seeing how he and Aronofsky would work together.
