Ultimate X3 has a rather interesting update on the proposed "X3" and "Wolverine" films. First up, a representative from 20th Century Fox has released the following statement which talks about the directorial position on the project:
"As you may already know, the studio has hired a great writer by the name of Simon Kinberg to pen the script. As with most films, expect the script to go through possible re-writes, especially as soon as the studio signs a director. Regarding that, we are working VERY hard to find the perfect director to do X3. The studio has it narrowed down to a few good men, and talks are being held often between both parties.
Two of these three men have worked with Fox Studios before, and have been suggested by not only the head of the studio, but executive producer, Avi Arad. It's getting quite close, and a final decision should be made shortly after final presentations are made to the studio. Cast members (besides a few) are not signed as of yet, but deals will be made beginning in 2005"
Thanks to 'Anthony' & 'JHBlade'.
