Aronofsky Gets on Board Noah's Ark

"The Fountian" and "Requiem for a Dream" director Darren Aronofsky seems to be piling on the projects as of late. Though he's slated to direct the dancer/thriller movie "Black Swan" and boxing film, "The Fighter", he claims his "next" project involves the biblical story of Noah.
But, according to Aronofsky, the story will be a lot darker than usual:
"That story has interested me ever since," Aronofsky states, "Noah was the first person to plant vineyards and drink wine and get drunk. It's there in the Bible - it was one of the first things he did when he reached land. There was some real survivor's guilt going on there. He's a dark, complicated character."
Again, I'll see whatever he touches. I'm just a little confused aobut his schedual right now. What's he doing first? No idea when this film will begin production as it appears to be in the early stages of writing.
