X-Men: New Mutants Director Thinks About The Movie Everywhere He Goes

It’s no secret: Josh Boone has a lot of his plate. The director, who hit it big with his adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars, has been tapped to direct a highly anticipated X-Men movie. Over the year, Boone has been teasing fans about his work on New Mutants, but it looks like the director can’t bring himself to stop thinking about the project. Over on Instagram, Boone has made it clear that he thinks about the film everywhere he goes. And, yes, that does mean everywhere.

“[New Mutants,] even in the shower I’m thinking about you,” the director told fans in a recent photo caption. Boone uploaded a picture of his bathroom, but don’t worry! The image is totally SFW. Boone took a photo from inside his shower that shows its wet door and a few alphabet stickers. The words ‘New Mutants’ can be seen tacked to the door and its condensation.

So, clearly, Boone cannot escape the looming film even in the privacy of his bathroom.

Of course, the director does have plenty to think over when it comes to New Mutants. Boone, who has been hard at work on script revision, recently did an interview with Creative Screenwriting where he talked about the ambitious movie. Boone even went on to describe how he became involved with the movie.

“After I made The Fault in Our Stars, we made Fox a comic book,” Boone said. “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 [producer] Simon [Kinberg] 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.”

Right now, there is no release date planned for the anticipated film, but fans do know that it will be heading into production soon. According to Boone, New Mutants will begin production this year. As for script details, 20th Century Fox is keeping things hush, but there are rumors the movie will stick to Chris Claremont’s iteration of the comic.
