I was snooping around over at IMDB.com and came across James McTeigue's page. It lists him as "In talks" to direct the much anticipated "X-Men Origins: Magneto."

At one time, he was in talks to direct the next Superman movie, but that franchise seems to be up in the air.

I think I like this idea. I like the way "V for Vendetta" was filmed. He used some unique camera shots as well as effects. I am not too familiar with the "V for Vendetta" graphic novel, so I don't know how it differed from the movie.

However, it still lists David Goyer as a director as well.

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!

i'll reserve judgement on mcteigue until after i see ninja assassin.
i admit he has an eye for cinematography and story. but i have only seen his one and only production.
he would be a good candidate though.
i hope if mcteigue directs, goyer stays on to write.
FIRST!

He shouldn't waste his time on such a bad franchise.
