December 18, 2009 - X-Men: First Class / Bryan Singer on new project
Scooped on Friday, December 18, 2009
"This is the formative years of Xavier and Magneto, and the formation of the school and where there relationship took a wrong turn," Singer told Variety about the storyline to his new movie project. "There is a romantic element, and some of the mutants from X-Men will figure into the plot, though I don't want to say which ones. There will be a lot of new mutants and a great villain."
The news outlet also learned that Singer wrote a treatment for the film's storyline that veered away from Josh Schwartz's screenplay. Now screenwriter Jamie Moss is writing the movie's new script based on Singer's path.
So why did the director decide to come back to the superhero franchise he launched? "Whether it's Batman, Lord of the Rings or Star Trek, if the characters are good, you want to see them on their journey even if you know their destiny," Singer answered. "I put myself in the fan's position, and I think this story is something I would want to see, and so will they."
