November 18, 2008
20th Century Fox has hired "Gossip Girl" creator Josh Schwartz to write X-Men: First Class. He'd also been offered a chance to direct the film, but declined.
Schwartz, the creator and executive producer of The CW's hit as well asFox's "The O.C." and NBC's "Chuck," is expected to inject a next-gensensibility into the superhero series.
The studio has been leaning toward using the younger charactersintroduced in the previous films in future installments --teenagerswith powers taught at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.
Resulting film would likely draw from elements of the Marvel Comic ofthe same name, launched in 2006, and enlist such characters as Iceman,Rogue, Angel, Colossus, Jubilee and Shadowcat, who have appearedprominently or made cameos in prior pics.
Lauren Shuler Donner, who produced all three "X-Men" pics, as well as next summer's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is producing "First Class" alongside Mr. & Mrs. Smith scribe Simon Kinberg. |
