Major X-men scoop

Found this on JoBlo.com.

This afternoon I was invited out for a meet and greet with Josh Schwartz, creator of THE O.C., GOSSIP GIRL, and the NBC show CHUCK. I work for a magazine in New York who's thinking of collaborating with him on something or other. Our convo opened up with his anecdotes of jury duty at the Tribeca Film Festival, which he just completed, and then we segued into talk about his television shows. Then I asked him if he's currently working on any film projects. I expected to hear something like, "yeah, I'm working on a romantic comedy for Patrick Dempsey." Instead what left his mouth was "yeah, I'm actually writing the new X-Men movie." Whaa? Was he talking about the new Magneto origin story? No, he wasn't. For details on what kind of movie it will be, click HERE.

Update: I'm noticing a lot of discontent over this announcement, and after meeting and talking to the guy, I've gotta say it's unwarranted. A lot of what he said isn't in the article, and I can tell you that from talking to him, he's an intelligent, cool dude who's a major X-Men fan and who knows what he's doing. This isn't some talentless hack. Have faith people.
