Ever since Richard Fleischer&#8217;s 1954 Disney version, the likes of David Fincher and McG have tried but ultimately failed. Now, however, the prospect of a big-budget modern update finally looks feasible, with none other than Bryan Singer announcing via his Instagram account that he has written a script:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-79971\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-shot-2015-09-18-at-10.png\" alt=\"Screen shot 2015-09-18 at 10\" width=\"616\" height=\"771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-shot-2015-09-18-at-10.png 616w, https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-shot-2015-09-18-at-10-600x751.png 600w, https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-shot-2015-09-18-at-10-300x375.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So as you&#8217;ll see, along with Rick Sordelet and <em><strong>Jack The Giant Slayer<\/strong><\/em> co-writer Dan Studney, Singer is having a good old crack of it. Considering his experience directing the kind of big-budget CGI-fests that this is sure to be via his time directing the <em><strong>X-Men<\/strong><\/em> movies, we&#8217;d say he&#8217;s a good fit for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em> will be released in cinemas on 19 May 2016.
