Josh Boone on Which Comics Inspired His 'X-Men' Spinoff, 'New Mutants'

HaydnSpurrell HaydnSpurrell Josh Boone is moving closer toward bringing X-Men: New Mutants to fans of the franchise, and in a chat with Creative Screenwriting, he said he's currently working hard on preparation for the film.

With filming beginning in May in Montreal, and featuring a YA vibe starring Wolfsbane, Magik, Sunspot, Danielle Moonstar, Mirage, and Cannonball, Boone said "we had loved this X-Men spinoff, The New Mutants. We had loved Bill Sienkiewicz’s run with Chris Claremont that had Demon Bear. It was really dark, interesting, and different from the typical X-Men stories that we had read.

"After I made The Fault in Our Stars, we made Fox a comic book. It walked them through a trilogy of New Mutant films that would build on each other. We used this program called Comic Life, and took all the images we had loved from the series and strung them together to show them the movie we wanted to do.

"We brought it to Simon and he really liked it. We’ve been going for the past year and a half to get it ready, and I’m about to go location scout and we have a release date now."
