Serena's Arena

News came last week that Angelina Jolie dropped out of Wanted 2 in order to join Alfonso Cuaron for a sci-fi thriller called Gravity...

Now comes word that she will not do that film either...

Instead she and Darren Aronofsky are in discussions to team to adapt Ron Rash's 2008 novel Serena says The Hollywood Reporter

Serena is set in 1929 North Carolina where a man and his new bride Serena (Jolie) build a timber empire and she pushes him into increasingly ruthless acts to maintain. Upon learning she's unable to conceive, she sets out to murder her husband's illegitimate child.

Christopher Kyle (K-19: The Widowmaker)) is adapting the script.

Nick Wechsler will produce.

The project is still seeking financing so it may not be Jolie's first post-The Tourist, project which is looking more and more likely to be the Untitled Kay Scarpetta film.
