\"\"You can tell that Fox is serious about getting\u00a0Gambit\u00a0<\/strong>off the ground by the caliber of directors they are pursuing for it. Now all they have to do is keep one around long enough to make the film.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that director Gore Verbinski is in talks to direct the Channing Tatum X-Men tie-in.\u00a0 He follows in the footsteps of Doug Liman and Rupert Wyatt as director of the project.<\/p>\n

Verbinski is known for his work on\u00a0The Ring\u00a0<\/strong>and the first three\u00a0Pirates of the Caribbean\u00a0<\/strong>movies, so he has some major successes in the past. However, his last two films–The Lone Ranger<\/strong> and\u00a0A Cure For Wellness<\/strong>–bombed at the box office, which makes his involvement a mixed bag. But he does direct charming rogues in frenetic action pieces very well, and that can go a long way on this film.<\/p>\n

No word as of yet what role Johnny Depp will be playing or what his makeup will look like. We’ll keep you posted when we find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Verbinski becomes the latest big-name director to try and bring Channing Tatum’s GAMBIT to the big screen. <\/div>\n
