Jeff Wadlow To Write And Possibly Direct Fox's X-FORCE Movie Adaptation
After reports of an X-Force adaptation being in the works at 20th Century Fox this week, Kick Ass 2 writer/director Jeff Wadlow has signed on to pen the X-Men spin-off with an eye to direct.
Yesterday, it was reported that 20th Century Fox is working on an X-Men spin-off focusing on the X-Force team. The studio registered a domain name three months ago, strongly suggesting the movie's development. Now, the film already has a writer and potential director. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jeff Wadlow (who most recently wrote and directed Kick Ass 2, which hits theaters August 16th) has been hired to pen the adaptation, "with an eye to direct." Longtime franchise producer Lauren Shuller Donner is also on board X-Force. Wadlow is also writing Columbia's adaptation of the Valiant comic book Bloodshot. Fox is expected to officially announce X-Force (and other X-Men related projects) at San Diego Comic-Con next week. What do you think of Wadlow tackling this film?
