Bryan Singer Considering X-Men: First Class, Jack The Giant Killer And Excalibur A possible return to the X-Verse, an adaptation of a folk tale or another cinematic pass at… er… a folk saga. Why all of theseBryan Singerprojects at once? Who knows, but I’m definitely not complaining. After some wrangling, Warner Bros. and Legendary have secured the rights to remake John Boorman’sExcaliburwith Singer linked as producer and possible director. A curious move as the source material, even if you count that as Malory and not just the Arthurian myths in essence, is definitely in the public domain....

David Oyelowo Is The New James Bond (In An Audiobook) David Oyelowois the newJames Bond.
