On the heels of this news I’ve been crying over (especially the final confirming post), comes this article that claims that ol’ Slayer-creator Joss is going to try his hand at not only directing X3, but writing as well!
Of course, I’m taking this rumor with a shakerful of salt until it’s confirmed; it’s suspicious that this news comes so soon after Joss publicly expressed interest in replacing Bryan Singer (while also saying he hadn’t been asked!). Plus, the article quoted in that final post in the first mentioned thread doesn’t mention any replacement possibilities. But I could see Fox wanting to go with another name known to its target audience who knows comics and will take the material seriously. Who knows?
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
