Aronofsky, Clooney Learn "Human Nature"

It has been two months since Darren Aronofsky opted out of helming "The Wolverine", now it looks like he's finally settled on what he'll do instead.

Vulture reports that the "Black Swan" director is keen on pursuing a film adaptation of Jeff Welch's 1996 original sci-fi spec script called "Human Nature".

George Clooney is reportedly attaching himself to star as a man who is cryogenically frozen and wakes up years later to a world in which humans have become pets of another species.

Akiva Goldsman is producing and reportedly currently budgeting the movie which would be Aronofsky's next film.

Sounds like a Futurama episode.

Or an Outer Limits episode.

Or Planet of the Apes.

And what do they mean by "film adaptation" of a script? Is it a fancy new way of saying "movie"?

It's a fancy way of saying "remake."

It's a fancy way of saying "remake."

It's really a fancy way of saying "fresh draft" right?  This isn't the same concept as Kaufman's script, which confusingly also dates back to 1996, and was turned into a movie by Gondry.  Or did Jeff Welch write a script that Kaufman revamped for that movie?
