Remove Mark Romanek From ‘The Wolverine’ Short List

In his discussion with The Digital Spy, Romanek said the following:

So what did he think of the script by Oscar-winner Christopher McQuarrie?

That’s just one of those stories that floated around. I was on their list, I received the script months ago. It didn’t seem like my kind of thing.

That script was a terrific version of that kind of thing, but not something I felt really passionate about.

That leaves Jose Padilha (Elite Squad, the RoboCop reboot), Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity), Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) Justin Lin (Fast Five), Gavin O’Connor (Miracle), James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma) and Gary Shore (commercial director). Padilha, Lima, Lin, Fuqua and Mangold all have projects in the works so who knows what they’re going to do. Gavin O’Connor maybe based on Warrior? What is your preference?
