"X-Men" Producer Gives More Word on "Wolverine" Directors and "Young Magneto"
by Fred Topel | November 18, 2006
Blog Article | Discuss Article
Summary

Hugh Jackman has given as much "Wolverine" info as he could give lately, teasing the David Benioff script and announcing the search for a director. Now it's up to producer Lauren Shuler Donner to make it happen, but she's got a few other X-ideas on her plate. Back to Article

Let's guess who is reading the script based on HJ comment that he's... "an A list director" and LSD comment.. "[the director] is filiming now"

Steven Spielberg ; busy prepping HIS own movies (including Indy 4, Lincoln etc.)
Bryan Singer ; prepping Superman Sequel (which MUST have more action for less $$$)
Ridley Scott ; filming American Gangster
Tony Scott ; prepping The Warriors remake
Michael Bay ; filming Transformers (but also developing its sequels, if the movie hits)
Roland Emmerich ; filming 10,000 B.C.
Peter Jackson ; prepping 'Lovely Bones' (also just decided not to do The Hobbit)
Brett Ratner ; filming Rush Hour 3, has Trump Tower Heist Project afterwards
Sam Raimi ; filming Spider-Man 3
Gore Verbinski ; filming POTC 3

...several other names must have slipped my list along with other a-listers who are not filming now - Shyamalan, Martin Campbell, Wolfgang Petersen, Mel Gibson, Richard Donner, Stephen Sommers etc.

Soooo, i guess it's either Ridley (yaaaaay !) or Raimi (yaaaay !) or Emmerich (hmmm) is now finding time between set-ups to read David Benioff's script.

What do you think ?

i wouldnt mind if ratner did it as he isnt an awful director - he ddnt have a brilliant script and the film tried to bring in too many characters and lost a lot of stufff rom the original character. Surely Ratner just trid to do his best but i know people will still blame him soley which is their perogative.
Ridley or Raimi sounds good but hey in hollwood anythign can happen
