Gossip Girl creator Josh Schwartz tapped for new X-Men movie

2008 Summer TCA Tour - Day 14

Spotted: Josh Schwartz , the man behind Gossip Girl, Chuck and The O.C.

Schwartz has been tapped to write the script for X-Men: First Class, focusing on a younger set of students at the mutant school made famous in the X-Men movies, according to SF Universe.

While some may not like Josh Schwartz as the choice to write the new film for Twentieth Century Fox, fans of the popular action-comedy Chuck series (as well as Gossip Girl and The O.C. fans) know he can handle the job.

On The O.C., Schwartz based the Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) character after himself, a comic-loving geek who eventually even came up with his own comic book The Atomic County featuring Kid Chino and Lil’ Miss Vixen.

But what I like most about Schwartz is that he adds a subtle  layer of humor to his shows that just can’t be found anywhere else — whether its with Chuck Bartowski, Seth Cohen or Blair Waldorf.
