  • Donner On "X-Men" & "Constantine" Sequels
    By Garth FranklinMonday November 20th 2006 12:57am
    During the press day for the comedy "Unaccompanied Minors", producer Lauren Shuler Donner sat down to talk with IESB about the film and the various comic book sequels she's involved in:

    Wolverine
    In regards to talk of Bryan Singer possibly helming the "Wolverine" film, she says "I would love it. We would love nothing more than to have Bryan do Wolverine, but Bryan is developing the sequel to Superman so I don't know, it depends on scheduling, but nothing would please all of us more". They hope to do the "Wolverine" project in the fall with the script now ready to go and the project out to directors.

    Magneto
    "Magneto" is still moving too = "We have a really great script, we have a director that is interested and he'll do a rewrite on the script".

    Gambit
    Will we ever see Gambit? "I think we would weave Gambit within our story, it wouldn't be "The Gambit Movie"". As for her pick for the role? "In "Lost" the guy, what's his name, there was a guy in there that was the perfect Gambit, the guy with the straight hair, good-looking, the bad boy, Sawyer, Sawyer [Josh Holloway]".

    Cirque Du Freak
    How far along is she? "We're in the first, we'll start the first one, Brian Helgeland wrote the script, and we brought in Paul White to direct it, Paul is doing his rewrite, we used the first three books, there'll be four movies, each movie is a combination of three books". That film, set up at Universal, will move its setting from the UK to America, and they're aiming for a PG-13 take on the tale.

    Constantine 2
    Keanu Reeves will be back she says, and "We have been working with a team of writers to come up with a story... We are really going to go for it this time. The area that we found is great...it's really scary, it's good". She adds it will be set outside the US, but NOT in the UK. Francis Lawrence will produce but a new director is being sought.
