Acclaimed Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky could be teaming up with George Clooney for his next film.

Mr Aronofsky, 42, pulled out of directing X Men spin-off The Wolverine earlier this year because he was reluctant to be separated from his family during the lengthy shoot.

According to New York Magazine's Vulture blog, his next project will be a sci-fi film about a man who is cryogenically frozen and wakes up to a world where humans are pets of a superior species.

The script, tentatively titled Human Nature, was written in the late 1990s by screenwriter Jeff Welch.
