CHUD
and Joblo both confer
that X-Men 3 will NOT be directed by the great Bryan Singer [known
for film such as the X-Men series, Apt Pupil, and The
Usual Suspects]. Brian has recently shifted on Fox
Studios in order to direct the upcoming Superman film [titled Superman
Returns].
X-Men Finds Replacement For Singer
Joss Whedon, who had recently displayed interest
in directing the next episode in the expanding X-Men saga, seems
to have finally stepped up in an effort to fill Singer's shoes. Whedon has
a much different history than Singer as he was part of, or wrote, screenplays
such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Alien Ressurrection,
and Angel. Obviously, he seems to have just as much experience
in television as he does film. But what does this mean for the latest X-Men
film seeking to begin production?
We
cannot really say. Yet, we stand by and cross our fingers that Whedon will
be able to successfully continue one of the best comic book film's to hit
the screen.
Joss Whedon is only rumored to have committed to the next X-Men
film. However, until rumors have been proven false, it seems that Joss Whedon
will take the job.
