[Dave Youell]

The director for the next X-Men movie has been announced and all I can say is WTF?

Matthew Vaughn!

He's only directed one other film and that way Layer Cake which is a completly different genre, maybe you guys know something I don't but this doesn't make any sense to me, this guy, look at his CV:

Layer Cake (2004) (producer)
A Short Film About John Bolton (2003) (producer)
Swept Away (2002) (producer)
... aka Travolti dal destino (Italy)
Mean Machine (2001) (executive producer)
Snatch. (2000) (producer)
... aka Snatch: Pigs and Diamonds (International: English title)
"Lock, Stock..." (2000) TV Series (executive producer)


Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) (producer)
... aka Two Smoking Barrels (USA)
The Innocent Sleep (1996) (producer)

So he's only really done anything envolving guy richtie films. Can someone please explain this to me
