It appears Darren Aronofsky has a real fetish for human suffering.

After flooding the earth in Noah, the director has taken up a new project with some familiar themes. He is in talks with HBO to develop the series MaddAddam, based on the book trilogy by Margaret Atwood.

According to Deadline:

This would be the first project for Aronofsky with HBO, although it won’t be the last; in January, he signed a three year “first look” deal with New Regency/HBO to develop TV and movie projects for them. Maybe somewhere along the way he'll decide to do something a little more cheerful?
