While we’re just over a month away from the anticipated X-Men Origins: Wolverine spin-off film, some details have emerged that a possible sequel is being developed. An Ain’t It Cool News scooper wrote in from the Bradford International Film Festival, where Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire screenwriter Simon Beaufoy revealed he has been hired to write a X-Men Origins: Wolverine sequel.
Plans for a sequel or Beaufoy’s involvement have not been confirmed yet at this time, but we’ll be sure to update you on any news on this potential new film.
i’m currently working at the bradford international film festival in the UK, and tonight we had simon beaufoy, screenwriter of slumdog millionaire doing a screentalk.
anyway he dropped a bit of a scoop, hes been employed to write the script for “wolverine 2” a film
i didnt actually realise was even in the pipeline.
he commented that while he was apprehensive about the project (claiming to not even know what a wolverine was!) his agent pursuaded him to take it on.
he clarified that working on a film thats successor has yet to be finished was a strange experience, and one that he wasnt sure he was comfortable with. anyway, i read your site everyday and figured id send this interesting little tidbit over,
adam
