For a time, it seemed as if The Twilight Saga: Eclipse director, David Slade, would be the man to bring the X-Men's favorite son, Wolverine, back to the big screen in the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. After his name popped up on a short list of directors angling for the job, Slade even confessed to having met with title star Hugh Jackman to discuss the movie, which made him seem like a lock. However, as we all know now, the job of directing The Wolverine ultimately went to The Wrestler director, Darren Aronofsky, whose new film, Black Swan, is currently in theaters. So, where did that leave Slade? Back to directing commercials and spending "a lot of time reading trying to find the right thing to do next." In a recent interview with HitFix, Slade discussed the "torturous" process of choosing a project, losing out on The Wolverine to Aronofsky and what projects he has lined up next.

Slade said that finding the next project to direct is a complicated, time-consuming process.

    "Things aren’t as simple as choosing and opening the door and walking through it. You know, there are torturous meetings, there are friendly meetings, there are meetings that you get to the point where you’re about to start out work on something and then everything shifts and the world falls from beneath your feet. The process of getting a feature film, getting [it] green-lit unless you’re one of the very, very, very, very, very, select few people is actually very complicated. Takes a lot of your time".

Since Eclipse, Slade said that he has had many movie offers, but was really only interested in directing two of them, one of them being The Wolverine.
