[Movie] X-Men Spinoff: New Mutants

"X-MEN" SPINOFF FILM "NEW MUTANTS" OFFICIAL AT FOX

20th Century Fox's "X-Men" film franchise is expanding -- Josh Boone is signed to direct and co-write "The New Mutants," sharing a title with the Marvel comic that first debuted in 1982.

"We’re so excited to explore this new part of the X-Men universe, and so excited to do it with Josh, who is uniquely suited to tell this story about young characters," X-Men franchise veteran and "New Mutants" producer Simon Kinberg tells Deadline.

Boone, director of massive 2014 hit "The Fault in Our Stars," is set to co-write with Knate Gwaltney, who wrote upcoming thriller "Kidnap" (starring X-Men franchise vet Halle Berry) and worked on several "Jackass" productions. Kinberg will produce with Lauren Shuler Donner, who has worked on all of Fox's X-Men films.



"The New Mutants" looks to be a couple years away, as Boone has been linked to "The Vampire Chronicles" (based on the work of Anne Rice) and "The Stand" (an adaptation of the Stephen King novel). Deadline states he'd been targeted by Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios for the upcoming Spider-Man reboot, though he wasn't on the reported shortlist of choices that surfaced last week.

No details have yet been released as to which New Mutants the film will feature, though Deadline describes the film as starring "a new crop of mutant characters born with special powers." The original New Mutants team, introduced by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod in 1982's "Marvel Graphic Novel" #4, consisted of Cannonball, Karma, Mirage (Dani Moonstar), Sunspot and Wolfsbane; new, teenaged students at Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

 

Get over it. Comics are part of the American culture. Nerds grew up, came into their own and started using them as source material. It's an easy sell to make a movie- it's already storyborded. It's also original writing and not a remake, which I'm grateful for.

Comic book movies are genre, like horror movies, romcoms and action flicks. not a fad. They have been around a long time and are here to stay, so everyone better get used to it.

Look at this massive list of comic movies and tell me that there weren't some of these that you didn't enjoy:

I'm not sure what they're trying to do here besides make some money off of a completed project (which they should). The first tip that this isn't an official Marvel Cinematic Universe movie was the 20th Century Fox logo.
