Snickety-Snick: Wolverine Gets His Own Movie

Variety says "X-Men" stalwart Wolverine is being spun off in a separate movie. Screenwriter David Benioff ("Troy") has been hired to write "Wolverine" and Hugh Jackman is negotiating to reprise his "X-Men" role.

So how does this affect "X-Men 3"? Variety says both projects will be developed, which means Jackman better get used to those mutton chops.

Further production details for "Wolverine" were not released. "X-Men 3" is tentatively slated for release in May 2006.
