The Word on Wolverine, X4 Spin-off to be Jackman's next project. by Stax http://movies.ign.com/articles/802/802682p1.html July 10, 2007 - It appears that the X-Men film franchise is indeed over and that 20th Century Fox is intent on focusing on spin-off films such as Wolverine and Magneto.
"There is no script for an X-Men 4, and there is none in the works," X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner advised The Hollywood Reporter. THR reports that X-Men star Hugh Jackman has been paid $20 million to reprise his role as the feral mutant Wolverine in the David Benioff-penned spin-off. The trade claims Fox wants Wolverine in theaters next year so Jackman is expected to segue immediately from the Baz Luhrmann-directed Australia to Wolverine. An unnamed source informed THR, "The idea is, they can finish him out in September or October and put this one on the fast track so they can get it out next summer." Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) and D.J. Caruso (Disturbia) have been rumored as directing candidates for Wolverine. Yahoo!
