Before he goes off on his big-budget Noah’s Ark reimagining, Darren Aronofsky will take care of a smaller project: directing the pilot episode for Hobgoblin, the HBO show — about a group of magicians and con men trying to take down Hitler — written by Michael Chabon and his wife Ayelet Waldman. Not only does Aronofsky’s involvement pump up the high-profile-ness of the series, but it opens the door for even more fruitful interactions between the two dudes. Like, maybe, at some point, Darren can teach Michael how to grow a moustache? [Variety]
