Ditching Class

Wow! that was fast...

Entertainment Weekly no sooner posted the news that Matthew Vaughn had been in talks to direct X-Men: First Class --now he may already be off the list.

Heat Vision reports that both Vaughn and Rupert Sanders ("The Low Dweller") have already passed on the project. Vaughn also turned down directing “X-Men: The Last Stand” in 2005 and left Thor during the prep process

Others on the Class short list include Timur Bekmambetov, Louis Leterrier, David Slade, Daniel Espinosa and Carl Rinsch.

Espinosa’s "Snabba Cash" recently got picked up for a remake starring Zac Efron and the director has several major projects being offered to him

But Espinosa seems to be at the top of the list having met with Bryan Singer who is producing 'First Class', about the comic book pic

Singer was initially going to direct 'First Class' but had to drop out due to scheduling commitments on "Jack The Giant Killer"

Stay Tuned...
