Yesterday we ran a Superhero Bit aboutJason Flemyngtalking about a possible sequel toX-Men: First Class. In another interview, he made it sound like that sequel was already being written. Did he slip or misspeak? Read the quote fromDigital Spy(viaCBM) below:
There was a benchmark that they had to hit box office-wise before they could start writing the next one, which they’ve started. We’ll just see how the DVD goes and then fingers crossed I’ll be bright red again by next summer.
[EDIT: Simon Kinberg is now reportedly writing the film.]
OriginalSpider-Man: Turn Off The DarkdirectorJulie Taymorwill, in fact, be eligible for a Tony despite the fact she left the show and it’s been changed. I sincerely doubt this is going to matter as her show stunk. Thanks to theNew York Times.
