Makes sense to me. David did a great job with the action in Eclipse !
The script for “Wolverine 2″ has been in place for a few months now, and Hugh Jackman recently cleared his schedule to begin the process of beefing up to bring the clawed Canadian mutant back to the big screen. One thing that’s still missing, however, is a director.While “X-Men” director Bryan Singer had been rumored as a top contender to get behind the camera for “Wolverine 2,” Vulture is reporting that “Twilight: Eclipse” and “30 Days of Night” director David Slade is the current favorite for the role. “Red” director Robert Schwentke is also under consideration to helm the film, and both filmmaker will meet with Jackman next week.
The report cites anonymous “well-placed sources” in the studio, claiming both filmmakers have been approved by 20th Century Fox, and are only awaiting Jackman’s decision.
Screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie’s script for the film is based on Chris Claremont and Frank Miller’s story arc that saw Logan traveling to Japan, falling in love, and brawling with samurai.
“['Wolverine 2'] will be very different from the last ‘Wolverine’ movie, and that’s what I like about it,” Jackman told MTV News last year. “I didn’t want it to feel like the same thing. … It’s a whole new environment and the storyline is unbelievable. I wish I could announce to you some of the people involved.”
Filming for “Wolverine 2″ is expected to begin in January 2011.
