McQuarrie to Write Wolverine Sequel!

August 13, 2009

Christopher McQuarrie has signed on to write the script for 20th Century Fox's Wolverine sequel. McQuarrie won an oscar for writing The Usual Suspects and reteamed with that film's director, Bryan Singer, for the first X-Men.

McQuarrie voluntarily took his name off X-Men when the final version was more in line with David Hayter's script than his.

Hugh Jackman will again star as Logan/Wolverine. He is also producing via his Fox-based Seed production company along with Lauren Shuler Donner.

The Hollywood Reporter says the movie's story line will takes its cue from the early 1980s Chris Claremont-Frank Miller miniseries, which is set in Japan and features Wolverine dealing with ninjas as he struggles whether to follow his animal killer instincts or the life under a samurai's code of honor and respect.

Made for about $150 million, "Wolverine" earned $363.2 million worldwide.

sounds good, does give one hope but personally i don't doubt Jackman and the producers will find a way to ruin it.

i hate to be the comic nerd but they make these movies to trade on the characters popularity, then egos come in and they "tweak" the stories to death until they are no longer even the same thing.

the first X-Men movie i saw because I'd dreamt about that since i was a kid but each one went farther and farther from the comics until i was so sick i refused to see Wolverine after that piece of **** X-Men the Last Stand.

I love The Usual Suspects. And now I am actually curious to see how his X-Men movie would have turned out.

I think this is a good choice and a step in the right direction.

Let's hope the sequel is better. I still liked Origins though.....

I feel that Origins was definitely a step in the right direction from X3:TLS. It wasn't perfect, but at least it didn't make me want to gough my eyes out like the latter.
