Singer Peeks At Wolverine

I have positively 0% faith that this will happen, but, well it'd sure be nice if it did. From DH:

"Bryan Singer, along with executive producer Chris Lee and producer Jon Peters, are currently in Honolulu not only celebrating Lee's birthday but also discussing the next Superman movie. Pre-production is slated to start as early as sometime mid-to-late next year, the location thereof to still be determined.

However, this is a little more interesting. A Honolulu newspaper stated that Singer has in fact been approached for a potential fourth X-Men movie, though he said he simply couldn't squeeze in a large-scale project before the next Superman.

Although, he did say that he is interested in reading the Wolverine script. That movie in particular said that a director would be popping up soon...and a Wolverine flick, depending on the scale, could be made by Singer before late next year".

The scoop got an extra boost this weekend with comments from Hugh Jackman saying that Singer "is the preferred director but there is a major timing issue in the production."

I didn't hate X3 as much as I could've - it was a fart in a mitten compared to the 2nd film, sure, but in retrospect I do think I could watch it again, which is more than I expected to feel towards it - but Singer directing the Wolverine film gives me hope where there currently is none at all.

I don't know what it is, but I really have zero excitement about a Wolverine film right now. It might be X3 having dampened expectations, it might be Hugh Jackman's last noticeable stab at leading an Event-Movie action-film Van Helsing, which made me want to regurgitate my intestines onto the movie theater floor, but the only thing that could really, at this point, raise my interest in a Wolverine film would be Bryan Singer's involvement. Or, ya know, the storyline being revealed to be Wolverine infiltrating a nudist camp. Otherwise, blah.
