New Mutants may make way to theaters
According to Slashfilm, the New Mutants of Marvel Comics could make their way to movie theaters in coming years. Lauren Shuler Donner, who’s been involved with the “X-Men” films at Fox from the beginning, said “New Mutants” and “X4″ with the original cast are possible in the future. “X4″ had yet to be officially pitched to the studio, she said, according to the report.
“New Mutants” was a title showcasing teen mutants in training at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. The characters were created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, first appearing in Marvel Graphic Novel #4. They continued from there to a series, by Claremont and McLeod. Later artists included Sal Buscema, Bill Sienkiewicz, Bret Blevins and Rob Liefeld. The issues drawn by Sienkiewicz, including “The Demon Bear Saga,” were highly regarded and well-remembered. Louise Simonson took over the writing from Claremont in 1987.

Hire David Lynch to make it if they do the Sienkiewicz stories. Oh, who am I kidding?
