“Road To Perdition” Max Allan Collins says that things are “right on the brink” of a deal being signed for a sequel to the 2002 film adaptation to get the go ahead reports Movieweb.

“Things have gotten very, very serious and I have, for years, held onto it as a project I would direct.. It does look like, now, that I won’t be directing, but it is my script. That’s the most important thing to me, that the material be faithfully rendered” says Collins in a recent interview.

Entitled “Road to Purgatory” and set ten years on, the story follows the child character Michael Sullivan Jr. seeking vengeance for the death of his father (Tom Hanks). A director hasn’t been signed yet, but Collins says “we’ve been approached and the offer seems to be very, very serious. We have signed a round of paper but it is not nailed down yet and it looks to be pretty interesting.”

Robert Rodriguez in Talks for ‘Deadpool’!

By FavaBeans | August 2, 2010

deadpool1Robert Rodriguez is “in active negotiations” to direct the “Deadpool” spin-off movie for 20th Century Fox says The L.A. Times.

During Comic Con last weekend, Rodriguez said he had received Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick’s script but was undecided if he would direct.

Ryan Reynolds will reprise the wise-cracking mercenary character he played in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. Rodriguez would likely do the project once he finishes “Spy Kids 4: Armageddon” which he’s currently shooting.
