The Wolverine may not shoot until next spring (probably), but the director of that movie, James Mangold, is already eyeing future projects, as Deadline reports he’s signed on to direct a remake of Olaf de Fleur Johannesson’s Icelandic thriller, City State.
The original centres on four strangers whose lives are affected when the foreign mafia moves in on the Icelandic drug trade. The quartet includes a crooked police captain who is in love with a prostitute, an elderly mafia boss who wants to get out of the crime syndicate alive, a mechanic seeking vengeance for the death of his unborn child, and a female police officer who is attacked by street thugs and then takes the law into her own hands.
James Mangold will likely spend some of the time while he’s waiting for The Wolverine to gear up (once Hugh Jackman has finished on Les Miserables), writing the Ctiy State script. It’s not known though when the movie might shoot.
