‘X-Men 4′ - First Details
A good news is coming to the Marvel’s fans as latest report suggests that following “X-Men: The Last Stand” and the upcoming spin-off “X-Men Origins: Wolverine“, a new “X-Men” movie will be made.

The outing of the speculation has allegedly been done by Schwartz himself when he talked to Black Book Magazine. Reportedly stating that the new installment will be “a prequel of sorts”, the screenwriter of “The O.C.” revealed his involvement by stating, “I’m very well aware that I’ll be bludgeoned by purists, but I love its mythology, and it comes with a pretty hefty paycheck.” The 31-year-old scribbler further confessed that the new film will resolve around a teenager who is attending the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.

Hugh Jackman And Marc Guggenheim Create ‘Nowhere Man’
Hugh Jackman may be known for his Wolverine character–which he is currently shooting–but it seems that he’s branching out and creating a new comic as well. Hugh will team with showrunner Marc Guggenheim (”Eli Stone”) and Virgin Comics to bring a new comic series called Nowhere Man to shelves near you. The plan is also to adapt it into a movie with Jackman set to lead.The trade reports the story being kept under wraps, but Jackson’s Seed Productions partner John Palermo said it features a protagonist reminiscent of the one Will Smith played in I Am Legend. The concept is a futuristic world where mankind has traded privacy for safety, a premise that sprouted with Seed, Virgin CEO Sharad Devarajan and chief creative officer Gotham Chopra.
Palermo:
This is our first comic, and we feel the concept is transferable to other arenas, perhaps first as a video game, and then a movie
Jackman:
I’ve had so much fun in the graphic novel world with the ‘X-Men’ franchise that I wanted to get even more involved. I’m excited to work with Virgin and Marc and create a compelling character and story that hopefully will also make it to the big screen.

Kodi Smit-McPhee to drop out ‘Wolverine’
Just when it seemed that all the pieces were falling into place for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the change in shooting schedules on director Gavin Hood’s Logan Year One tale has forced newbie Kodi Smit-McPhee to drop out of playing the youngling adamantium-clawed wild thing.
Already committed to John Hillcoat’s adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy thriller The Road (alongside Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron), the oddly monikered newcomer has seen the coveted superhero mantle passed over to equally bizarrely named pretender, Troye Mellet.
Still on target for a May 1, 2009 release, the casting reshuffle shouldn’t cause too many problems with the production.
According to latest reports, the young star of ‘Juno’ Ellen Page, alos, has dropped out from the Sam Raimi’s newest feature film project ‘Drag Me to Hell’. She has quit the project because she “didn’t like the latest draft of the script”.
However, MoviesOnline claimed that according to a joint statement from Ghost House Pictures and Mandate Pictures, the Canadian actress is no longer available for the project due to scheduling conflicts.
