Aint it Cool's sources hears word on the two potential replacements for Matthew Vaughn at the helm of the third "X-Men" movie. Here's the story:
"It's someone who studios like, who is considered an A-list director, but sort of by default. No matter what, though, my source wouldn't give me a name... I got two names confirmed from inside the Pico Lot....either we'll have X3 directed by John Moore, who did solid, sturdy jobs with both "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Flight of the Phoenix", or Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour", "After the Sunset", "Red Dragon"), [after all] what just fell apart? "Rush Hour 3."
Avi Arad wasn't kidding when he called the film "controversial," either. Three major characters that absolutely should not die, die. Really dead, too. Not Spock Dead. And one mutant who should not lose her powers, loses her powers permanently. Really loses them, too. And the sex scene... when you see who does what to who... oh, boy. The entire X-MEN universe may face some incredible overhauls, and it's going to be fascinating to see what fandom does when faced with this stuff".
