Bryan Singer has been out of the public eye for quite some time, but a new report is claiming that the disgraced X-Men director is in the process of planning a comeback.
According to Variety, Singer is "quietly plotting" a return, and has been pitching a slate of new films set in and around Israel, where he has been living for the past few years. Details are few and far between, but the movies would reportedly be made for $10 million apiece, and one would be set in the '70s.
In addition, Singer is said to be working on a self-financed documentary about himself and “his struggles.” The project will address the allegations of sexual misdeeds and "cover his attempt at career resurrection."
These allegations have resulted in Singer being blacklisted in Hollywood, but even before those accusations were brought to light, he had gained a reputation for being a domineering (ie, bullying) figure on-set. The director was in line to helm the upcoming Red Sonja reboot before being replaced after the latest round of allegations were made public.
While he hasn't been formerly charged with any crimes (that we know of), this attempt at a comeback is bound to raise a few eyebrows. Even if Singer is innocent, this doesn't seem like the best way to go about proving it.
