Singer Interested in Wolverine!

Well, he just said he was interested in reading the script. Doesn't mean he wants to make the movie.
 
Still, it must be flattering that they offered the next X-Men picture to him and not Brett.

"Singer acknowledged that he has also been approached to direct the next "X-Men" movie — he directed the first two well-received films before turning over the reigns for the third installment to Brett Ratner — but said he wouldn't have time to take on another large-scale project before the next Superman gets underway. He is interested, however, in seeing the script for the "X-Men" spinoff "Wolverine."
 
This makes no sense -

1. I thought there wasn't going to be a "fourth X-Men film."

2. This says Superman may begin production mid-to-late next year - which is probably the time frame for the filming of Wolverine.

I think article means that he just wants to read the Wolverine script
 
Damn, if Singer were to direct Wolverine I'd definitely check it out. The way he directed the flashback sequences really impressed me and it's how I visualized Wolverine in a Weapon X facility.
 
Maybe by "4th X-Men film" they meant Wolverine?? :huh:

That would be amazing if it's true. I'd love for Singer to direct this.

Yeah, I doubt Singer would do it and on top of that I don't want him too. New directions are better than old, especially in this case where Singer botched what we thought Logan would be like.
 
Logan in the movies seems pretty acurate to me. He shows his softer side a little more but that just seems to be becouse of the situations he was in.
 
Well he made X1 and X2 which were practically Wolverine movies so he should be able to do Wolverine with no problem. Apart from filming schedule and such.

I think "botched" was a little harsh by me but I do think Wolverine was too self-less and started too much conversation with people he wouldn't have talked to in the comic, like Bobby. I liked Singer's look and flashbacks of Logan but the flashs were brief and that's fine. Another role that is not like Wolverine is his teamwork aspect in the films. He seemed be vocal on decisions and even steps down in one of the later scenes of X2 when Magneto says, "And what are you gonna do, Wolverine? Scratch it with your claws?" Wolverine would have went into the facility on his own instead of going off track when they all got in there. Don't get me wrong the scene was cool when Mystique changed to look like Logan and then went in but that's not what he would have done.

Another scene would be the teamwork scene at the end of X1 when they blast Sabretooth off of the Statue of Liberty. Uhhh....what a bad way to get rid of Sabretooth!

Well, in another thread and some heavy thinking I have been starting to accept the fact that Singer's Wolverine would be cool but if another more accomplished, dedicated, and talented director would come along I'd rather have him/her. Like Ridley Scott, Tim Burton (if he doesn't try to turn the movie into a claymation kids flick) and James Cameron. I would have loved if Ang Lee did this film rather than the Hulk bc I think he dolves into the character more than the action and it would work better with this film. All in all I'd be satisfied with Singer's Wolverine without those queer Leather outfits. Damn those practically ruined the film.

What I take from it is:

1. there will be a fourth x-men movie
2. he just wants to read the wolvie script
3. he's moving forward with superman 2
 
he's says sh** like that just to protect his rep. To let the fans know he's still interested also lets us in on the fact that theres no hard feelings between him and Rothman and all the other FOX-holes. He won't be doing another X-movie or a Wolvie spin-off. He's just trying to keep his name in good standings with the fans. Not much wrong with that I guess...but its still a bit of a fib.

I liked the uniforms. A huge improvment from yellow spandex. But yea, Id prefer either James Cameron or Ridely Scott to do the movie.
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

i hope he stays FAR FAR away from the wolverine movie....
 
i think he saw the shambles of X3 and has decided to give his omput to this one maybe as a producer or a proof reader for the script- make sure its not a dud
 
Benioff doesn't write duds. And Singer's writers are not close to his level.

Who was xwolverine2 talking about....Scott or Cameron? Cause I don't know how anyone could dislike Scott.
 
I dont know how anyone could dislike Cameron. Look at "The Terminator" and "Aliens". Both movies are perfect.
 
I mean we are shooting high with Cameron but how does somebody have the balls to discredit his career? He is magnificent and only picks films that are his fit and highly creative, hence Terminator and Aliens. This could be that film.

On the otherhand he may be too famous to do a comicbook movie. I hope he considers otherwise and decides to take Wolverine into the direction where we could put high expectations on the film. bc with Ratner or Singer I would not have as high hopes. I don't want to see the Logan we've already seen. I and most of you want the comic book Logan.
 
Well after Ratner butchered the x-men franchise I consider it to be over. If they continue it I hope they do so with a new cast and/or the younger x-men and start fresh with a new director and writers. The Wolverine spin off is a great opportunity for a definitive Wolvie film, also it is possibly the last outing for Jackman given he's getting older. So personally I would like the film to have its own tone and look and that it be different from what was done before. Ditto with the Magneto spin off.

Good point. :up: I expect them to start fresh with X4, if it is made.:csad:
 
JoBlo.com just reported on SHH's story (love when these sites all scoop each other :oldrazz: ), but this was also noted, which is nice to know as well:

http://joblo.com/index.php?id=13514

"I was lucky enough to read David Benioff's WOLVERINE script and while it's not perfect (the last act needs some work), it's almost a really great movie. I'd be supremely confident with Singer aboard that this could be the bee's knees. Heck, I'd like to see him forgo SUPERMAN altogether and return to the X-franchise. Again, I think the chance of this actually happening is pretty slim, but it's an intriguing possibility that I just had to share..."
 
I predict the last act will be very anticlimactic with him probably losing a fight to Sabretooth or the fight ending abruptly to lead to a sequel or perhaps they'll get to him wanting to retrace his steps to set up for a sequel?
 
Singer being interested in wolverine and not with x-men 4 makes me believe that singer thinks wolverine might be the next big thing in the future and that x-men has been messed up too much in x3 to be continued.
Anyways, singer with writer benioff and jackman sounds great
