Matthew to make

X-Men prequel

      The Kick-Ass filmmaker has been signedup to direct X-Men: first Class. Matthew Vaughn has completed negotiations to helm the project, a prequel which tells the story of Professor X and Magneto before they became enemies. A source revealed, "Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young for the first time. Before they were arch enemies, they were the closest of friends, working together, with other mutants to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift opened between them, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's S-Men."
