AICN reports that Darren Aronofsky is officially off the "Watchmen" comic adaptation as director though not for bad reasons.
Seems that it's a scheduling conflict as his long in development project "The Fountain" is about to start principal photography in a few days. Paramount can't wait though, they want "Watchmen" in theatres by the summer of 2006. Thus Aronofsky would not be anywhere near ready in time for filming.
The search is now on. For more details, click here.
