My silly fandom tumblr where I reblog the lamest and coolest things that are relevant to my interests. Lately that means a lot of XMFC. :P
MATTHEW VAUGHN IS OFFICIALLY BACK TO DIRECT!!!!!
First Class co-producer Simon Kinberg is currently banging out the initial drafts of the script, which I’m sure will now see revisions on the part of Vaughn and his writing partner Jane Goldman.
No word on what exactly the direction of the new story is, but now that Vaughn is officially back in the fold I’m very much relieved.
Additionally, Bryan Singer is also on board to co-produce with series regular Lauren Shuler-Donner.
Expect more updates soon in terms of an official release date and the eventual casting.
OH.
MY.
GOD!!!
MY EMOTIONNNNNS.

Fox: “X-Men First Class Sequel is OFFICIAL!!!!!”
TWENTIETH Century Fox has officially confirmed plans for sequels to its summer hits X-Men: First Class and Rise of The Planet of The Apes.
Tom Rothman, co-chairman and chief executive of Fox Filmed Entertainment, says they hope to get Matthew Vaughn back for another X-Men instalment and Rupert Wyatt to continue the Apes storyline.
“Both of them were really great scripts and so we have to be sure to get great scripts again,” Rothman told ComingSoon at the Gotham Independent Film Awards. “We’re working hard on the scripts for both of them, but we have every hope of moving forward with them.”
Rothman’s public statement signals the studio’s determination to build on the critical success of both films.
