Josh Schwartz to Write X-Men: First Class

From: Superherohype.com

20th Century Fox has hired "Gossip Girl" creator Josh Schwartz to write X-Men: First Class. He'd also been offered a chance to direct the film, but declined.

Schwartz, the creator and executive producer of The CW's hit as well as Fox's "The O.C." and NBC's "Chuck," is expected to inject a next-gen sensibility into the superhero series.

The studio has been leaning toward using the younger characters introduced in the previous films in future installments --teenagers with powers taught at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.

Resulting film would likely draw from elements of the Marvel Comic of the same name, launched in 2006, and enlist such characters as Iceman, Rogue, Angel, Colossus, Jubilee and Shadowcat, who have appeared prominently or made cameos in prior pics.

Lauren Shuler Donner, who produced all three "X-Men" pics, as well as next summer's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is producing "First Class" alongside Mr. & Mrs. Smith scribe Simon Kinberg.

Fox Opening Registration for X-Men: First Class?

From:

An interesting listing at Production Weekly caught our eye - "X-Men: First Class." Could 20th Century Fox be developing a movie based on the series written by Jeff Parker and pencilled by Roger Cruz? Or are they using the title of that comic for their proposed Young X-Men spin-off?

What makes it even more interesting is that X-MenFirstClass.com redirects to FoxMovies.com.

The "X-Men: First Class" was an eight-issue mini-series published from September of 2006 through April of 2007. As Special was also released in May of 2007 followed by a monthly series that started in 2007 with the same creative team. The comic is described as follows:

For millions of years, mankind's place on Earth was unchallenged – until five young people paved the way for a new kind of human. While students at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast and Iceman taught the world what it meant to be X-Men. These are the hidden stories of the team that laid the foundation of a mutant dynasty!

We'll have to wait and see if official news on this hits.

Exclusive: Shawn Ashmore on Iceman's Return

From:

Last week, Superhero Hype!'s sister horror site ShockTillYouDrop.com had a chance to talk to Shawn Ashmore about DreamWorks' new horror flick The Ruins, based on the novel by Scott Smith. Inevitably, the interview turned to Ashmore's most famous character, Bobby Drake aka Iceman, who the actor has played in all three of 20th Century Fox's "X-Men" movies, having the most to do in the most recent movie X-Men: The Last Stand, which saw Iceman in full ice mode for the first time.

Of course, we were really curious to know if he thought we'd ever see Bobby Drake's return after such a cool moment in the last movie.

Shock: You mentioned Bobby Drake earlier, so do you think we'll ever see you play him again, especially with the way he was developed so much in the last "X-Men" movie?
Ashmore: Yeah, it was great. I was waiting to do some of that stuff since the first movie. It was five years, six years in the making to really shoot ice and be in a battle and all that stuff, but honestly, I don't know. I would love to do another film, but I think they're doing these spin-offs and origin stories, so I can't see in the near future there being an "X-Men 4" but I have no idea to tell you the truth, it's really hard to say. I'm holding my breath, waiting for it to happen, but I'm not sure if it will or not.

Shock: Hopefully, they won't wait too long if they do get back into it, because as I said, they really turned Iceman into someone we'd want to see more of and some of the other new characters.
Ashmore: Yeah, and again, it's a blast. I love the fact that there is such a huge audience for "The X-Men", characters I love and characters I've lived with so long that it's really exciting when people are like, "Aw, man, I want to see another one." That's great, and that gives me a boost to hear that stuff, so that's really cool."
