The good news: Fox's moving ahead with the script for XMFC's sequel! According to the site mentioned above, the movie could be ready for 2013.
The bad news: They hired Simon Kinberg to write it - the guy who wrote X-Men: The Last Stand, the film that started the critical pummeling of the X-Men movies.
When I saw this, I pretty much went "WTF, Fox?!" After how terribly Last Stand and Wolverine were received by critics and fans alike, you finally get back on track with XMFC which is pretty much the critics' darling this year and you hire that hack to write the sequel? The only thing that gives me hope is Matthew Vaughn - if he comes back as the director, which he wants to, he can basically overrule Kinberg and re-write the script, which is what he did with XMFC. So, fingers crossed.
