Aronofsky to Direct Lost Episode

I received my Lost Insider e-mail today, and there was one piece of news that caught my eye: Darren Aronofsky, the director of Pi and Requiem for a Dream, has signed on to direct an episode of Lost!

Too bad he wasn't on for the first episode of the second season. I can just see the fast-paced cuts from Requiem seeping into the episode when Desmond shoots whatever-it-is into his arm.

Here's the full quote regarding Aronofsky from the Lost Insider:

One of the more thrilling developments going on around here is that director Darren Aronofsky – the daring visionary behind such films as "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream" – as well as the upcoming Hugh Jackman/Rachel Weisz sci-fi drama "The Fountain" – has just signed up to direct an episode of "Lost…" and you can bet that the blend of the mystery and drama of "Lost" with the visually innovative style of this maverick filmmaker is going to make for some truly awesome television.

Too bad he won't be directing more than just one episode, though.

There's also an episode coming up titled "The Other 48 Days," which I can only imagine delves into the tailies' experience during the 48 days since the crash. But, with Lost, I could be wrong.
