The Director of X-3 has been announced. WTF?
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 THE OPTIMISTS! 'Seeing the light in bad booking' Current members: Dave Youell Alienoid06 Impact! The Optimist And our newest member: Helmsphere ![]() |

...Perhaps he came up with an idea the producers liked? Sounds a bit odd though

I heard a rumour Tarantino is doing it.
Actually I'm starting that rumour right now. So the word is Quentin Tarantino has been signed up to direct X-MEN 3 |

That is awesome news. I don't know if he is a fanboy like Singer but he's an awesome director.

A film can have a zillion producers, doesn't affect the final product a whole lot.
Layer Cake wasn't bad but really, Vaughn and Ritchie are as bad as each other, all they can do is make mockney crime capers. Doesn't bode well. |

Hopefully the reason he's doing it is because he's a fan of the comic. That's the only way it makes sense.

As long as they make another Xmen movie and do a great job of it I don't care.

It's gonna blow...none of the people who worked on X-men and X2 are onboard. The guys that are writing X3 also wrote

What happened to Bryan Singer? I thought he did a great job on the first two films.

Yea..I agree with KK on this one. If Tarantino ever got close to any Xmen movie I think I would have to crap myself. I dont understand why everyone thinks he is so amazing anyway, most of the films he did were below par.

Dave, where did you get your info. I can't find anyplace that confirms that this Vaughn fellow is indeed the director.

It was a deal he made with Rodriguez in the Kill Bill films, where Rodriguez directed a scene for $1. So Tarantino is doing the same for Sin City. Have you seen Sin City yet? |

It's probably because his wife is Claudia Schiffer.
