Browsing: Simon Kinberg

We’ve been saying for YEARS that Logan’s Run would be the perfect 70’s science fiction property to get a remake. Obviously, other people thought the same thing–there was the 2012 attempt that was set to star Ryan Gosling and be directed by Nicolas Winding Refn but that didn’t work out. At one point Bryan Singer was working on one (thank […]

Apple sure is making some big strides with their ordered and in-process television series, as today they gave the greenlight for a 10-episode science fiction series from Simon Kinberg and David Weil. There is literally no public information about this unnamed “science fiction” series, other than Dark Phoenix writer/director Kinberg being on board with producer (and relative […]

Despite some hiccups on the journey to the big screen, director Simon Kinberg feels his upcoming directorial debut Dark Phoenix will do something special with the X-Men franchise at FOX- setting yet another tone. In a recent interview during Brazil Comic Con (CCXP), Kinberg spoke about the history of the X-Men film franchise at FOX, how it’s evolved over […]

Simon Kinberg as a lot on his plate right now, more than normal for the X-Men producer who by this time next year will have had his directorial debut released with Dark Phoenix. That doesn’t mean he’s not focused on additional properties upcoming within the X-Men franchise, however. Namely, the status of the much maligned Gambit solo film […]

It would appear that the second date pushback for 20th Century Fox’s Dark Phoenix isn’t cause for panic, so says first-time director Simon Kinberg. He very calmly and purposely explained to our friends over at Collider how the second release date (remember originally this film was set to open in November of 2018, when it still had […]

The 20th Century FOX presentation at CinemaCon 2018 has come and gone, dropping some mutant bombshells and showing the audience the brand-new Dark Phoenix logo. We’re waiting for an official art release, but you can see a grainy photo here. Most notably, it looks like the X-Men: Apocalypse followup has dropped the “X-Men” from the title, which […]

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the planned remake of Logan’s Run, the classic ’70s science fiction film. Long rumored to be happening with Bryan Singer at the helm, the project gained X-Men: Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg. Deadline is reporting that Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and 2 writer Peter Craig has been tapped to tackle the script.  The Hollywood Reporter claims […]

James McAvoy, young Professor Charles Xavier from the most recent X-Men films posted a pretty certain tease on his instagram yesterday about his return to the franchise. Not that it was really up for debate, as if the storyline for the next X-Men film is what we all think it is, considering the title is X-Men: Dark […]

After 17 years of X-Men films (and one franchise reset but not really because they KIND of took it back), we’re going to get more of the Phoenix Saga. For X-Men: Apocalypse, several of the key former X-Team were recast in the vein of X-Men: First Class, bringing younger actors into already existing roles.  Like James McAvoy […]

It seems like every single site reporting that Bryan Singer will be returning to direct the next installment of the X-Men franchise is leaving out something significant.
