Darren Aronofsky directing HBO's Hobgoblin TV pilot

*Darren Aronofsky has settled on his next directing gig, having signed
on to helm the pilot episode of HBO’s _Hobgoblin_.*

Sadly not a show about killer imps, _Hobgoblin_ is set in the second
World War, and sees magicians and con men go up against Hitler and his
forces.

This will be Aronofsky’s first foray into TV directing, though
with HBO shows generally afforded generous budgets, we doubt
he’ll feel the pinch too much.

The pilot has been written by Michael Chabon and his wife Ayelet
Waldman, the former having contributed to the scripts for _Spider-Man
2_ and in-the-making sci-fi _John Carter_.

Waldman’s no newbie either, her novel _Love And Other Impossible
Pursuits_ having recently been turned into Natalie Portman’s
_The Other Woman._

Though Wolverine fans are still mourning Aronofsky's departure from
_The Wolverine_, _Hobgoblin_ could be considered something of a
consolation prize - especially as we're likely to see _Hobgoblin_ long
before the comic-book sequel hits the big screen.
