The success of this year’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past with critics and fans led to its follow-up getting the inevitable greenlight. With the shoot for the sequel, X-Men: Apocalypse, scheduled to commence early next year, the pieces are falling into place with regards to its story and cast. One star player in the franchise whose name hasn’t been thrown into that mix is Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman. Commanding a large chunk of screen time in DoFP, we’ve been led to believe his mutton-chopped mutant would take a backseat for the next chapter, a belief that may not be true.
The bulk of our knowledge on Apocalypse thus far indicates the return of the First Class cast along with younger versions of the ‘main’ X-Men gang re-cast with age-appropriate actors. Nevertheless, it seems that Jackman has been chatting to the folks at Fox and he’s gearing...

Box Office Surprising absolutely no one, Divergent, the Ya adaptation starring Shailene Woodley as a "Divergent" in a dystopian future stratified by personality types, obliterated the competition at the box office this weekend, raking in an estimated $56 million. The take brought it in behind both Twilight and The Hunger Games, but was enough to make it the #2 opener of 2014 and likely validated Summit Entertainment's ongoing plans for a sequel. Muppets Most Wanted opened in second, with $16.5 million, a considerable drop from The Muppets' $29.2 million opening in 2011. Mr. Peabody & Sherman took third, with $11.7 million, a 46% drop over the previous weekend. 300: Rise of an Empire earned an additional $8.6 million, bringing it's total at the start of week #3 to $93.8 million. The Christian-marketed God's Not Dead took fifth with $8.6 million, helped, in part, by appearances by Duck Dynasty stars Willie and Korie Robertson.

David James Kelly is the man who's set to pen the next standalone adventure for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine...
Last week, we learned a release date for the next film in the standalone Wolverine series of movies. The next movie is set to appear on March 3rd 2017. Hugh Jackman is expected to reprise the role for what would be the eighth time, and James Mangold, who helmed The Wolverine, is on board to direct this one too.
Now we know who's got the job of penning the screenplay. David James Kelly is the man who's been hired to tackle the job, and once he's done on the new Wolverine, he's also got the screenplay for the graphic novel Mind Mgmt to pen too.
Which direction the film is set to head in isn't yet clear - we don't know where X-Men: Days Of Future Past...

Unless Fox starts production soon on a new Fantastic Four and Daredevil movie, they'll lose the rights to the character. And they obvioiusly don't want to do that.
We knew from the beginning that Marvel making its on studio was going to be a tricky situation. Yes, it would be great to see them release their own movies, but there's one unfortunate thing here; Marvel was a bit of whore beforehand. Most of their famous franchises, from Spider-Man to Hulk, belonged to studios. And of all the studios, Fox probably had the rights to the most, with Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and X-Men belonging to them. Marvel obviously wants the rights back, however, and has forced a deadline upon Fox to start production on new iterations of these superheroes. And if they don't, the rights will go back to Marvel.
And well this is a pipe dream for fanboys, the studios...

Oh, so you also forgot David Slade was behind a reboot of Daredevil. Fox would probably like that to be the case for now; things aren’t going too well on their front, with Deadline reporting that James Kelly has been commissioned to give the current script, penned by Brad Caleb Kane, the good old rewrite treatment.
All along, the intention on the part of Fox and Slade was to adapt Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli‘s classic arc, Born Again, which pits Matt Murdoch against supervillain and drug lord The Kingpin. Simple stuff, right? Taking a beloved property — one with the classic “hero’s identity is found out” angle, too — and putting that into theaters can’t be the world’s biggest screenwriting challenge, but it’s enough to bring on a second man for a polish. And this is after a year of what feels like no true activity.
