Can Josh Schwartz transition from the world of writing teen soaps to an action-packed, comic-book-based feature movie? It looks like he’s going to get the chance.
According to this article from Variety, Twentieth Century Fox has picked the Gossip Girl creator to work on their newest X-Men movie called “X-Men: First Class.” The movie will feature younger versions of the characters seen in the films so far including Iceman, Rogue, Angel, Colossus, Jubilee and Shadowcat.
The article also states that the writing gig might also come with the ability to direct the film, but Schwartz has not confirmed whether or not he will take the reigns. Although he has had a good deal of small screen success, Schwartz has not broken into feature films yet, and this might be his chance to do so.
Many are speculating whether Schwartz was a good choice. I think that since the new movie will feature a younger cast, he was probably a good choice.
