May 4, 2010 - X-Men: First Class / Matthew Vaughn hired to direct
Scooped on Tuesday, May 4, 2010
The rumor that Matthew Vaughn had been eliminated from directing First Class has been blown apart with the official announcement by 20th Century Fox that the British helmer will make the X-Men reboot movie after all. Furthermore, Vaughn's X-Men: First Class now has an ambitious release date: June 3, 2011 -- just thirteen months from now.
Also revealed was that the Thor writing duo of Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz to perform a rewrite of the screenplay, and that Bryan Singer will indeed produce the movie (along with longtime X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg, writer of The Last Stand.)
No casting has been announced yet.
Back in 2005 Vaughn had attached to direct X-Men: The Last Stand until he left the project over personal reasons.
