From ComingSoon.net Joss WhedonJoss Whedon on X-Men 3, Buffy & AngelBy Andrew Weil Thursday 12 August 2004, by Webmaster ComingSoon.net got a chance to talk to Joss Whedon about the rumors that he may be interested in taking on X-Men 3, now that Bryan Singer is out of the picture. Whedon says that nothing has been offered to him for "X3," but if offered, he would LOVE to do the third film (hint, hint Fox!). On the comics side, Whedon is writing "Astonishing X-Men" right now for Marvel. Whedon has been an online fan favorite to replace Singer in the director’s chair. Singer is directing Warner Bros.’ new Superman adaptation instead. 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios still have X-Men 3 scheduled for a May 3, 2006 release date. Also, Whedon tells us that he is interested in doing a "Buffy/Angel" film as well, but he knows that Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz wouldn’t want to participate in the feature. He adds that the "Buffy" animated series is still in the planning stages. Whedon is currently directing Serenity, an adaptation of his Firefly TV series, for Universal Pictures. 3 Forum messages |
