Bryan Singer Signs on to Excalibur Remake!


What the hell's with Bryan Singer, anyway? He's friggin' everywhere. First it's Wolverine. Then it's X-men: First Class. Then he's on board for a Battlestar Galactica remake. Now as if that wasn't enough, he's signed a deal with Warner Bros. to produce and possibly direct a remake of the 1981 classic, Excalibur. Excalibur was another in a long line of Knights of the Round Table adaptations, only this one featured the star studded cast of Helen Mirren, Liam Neeson, and Patrick Stewart, and pretty much every Brit actor you can think of.

No writer has been attatched as of yet, and no word on casting. With all these movies Singer's got swirling around I'm starting to wonder if he's actually going to direct any of them, or if he's just putting all his producer chips on the table. I think the only movie we can say for damn sure he won't be a part of is anything involving Superman.
