There's a rumor that Underworld director Len Wiseman may become the director for the planned Wolverine spin off movie.
Wiseman is now working on Underworld 2. David Benioff is the scripter for the Wolverine film, which will presumably star Hugh Jackman. Whether Wiseman's girlfriend, Underworld star and Jackman's Van Helsing co-star Kate Beckinsale would take a role in the film remains to be seen.
