Fox Sets Meeting To Discuss Screwing Up More Superhero Franchises!!


Merrick here...

Seems a strategy meeting has been scheduled at Fox, with an eye towards gauging the viability of its various super hero dudes and dudettes. Can't see much good coming out of this.

Though Fox has no plans for a major overhaul, the studio has scheduled a strategy meeting to assess the status of its superheroes, a group sorely missed this summer. On the agenda, Fox will mull the possibility of more "X-Men" spinoffs, including a young-X-Men project as well as "Deadpool," based on a character played by Ryan Reynolds in "Wolverine." The studio is even considering reviving the "Daredevil" property.

..says THIS ARTICLE in Variety, which also discusses oft-rumored issues plaguing the upcoming WOLVERINE movie (as well as the BABYLON A.D debacle, currently decomposing in theaters).

Two recent productions, "Babylon A.D." and "Wolverine," were rumored to have gone through Fox's on-set maelstrom.

On the eve of the film's release, "Babylon" helmer Mathieu Kassovitz publicly claimed the studio ruined his longtime passion project. "Wolverine" helmer Gavin Hood was nearly fired, according to sources, because of squabbles with the studio, and two backup directors were in place before Richard Donner -- who is married to the film's producer Lauren Shuler Donner -- flew to the Australian set to smooth things over. At the time, Fox insisted that Richard Donner was on-set because he is a producer on the film. However, current credits for the film list various producers, but Donner is not one of them.

All of this, and more, can be found by JUMPING TO THE PIECE.
