Darren Aronofsky, best known for directing Pi and Requiem for a Dream told an audience in New York that he won't be directing Batman: Year One as his next film, according to the C.H.U.D. Web site. Speaking April 18 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Aronofsky said he would instead begin an unnamed scifi movie to star Brad Pitt.

And as for the much-talked-about Batman project, Aronofsky said, "Don't believe the hype: It's a sequel." The site also reported that Aronofsky was carrying a copy of Batman: Tales of the Bat with him.
