‘Fault in Our Stars’ writers tackling ‘X-Men’ spinoff ‘New Mutants’

Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, the writing team behind the hit YA adaptations The Fault in Our Stars and The Spectacular Now, are working on the script for New Mutants, Fox’s X-Men spinoff.

The move re-teams the duo with Josh Boone — the Fault in Our Stars filmmaker who is directing Fox’s take on the Marvel property that centers on a group of misfits trying to deal with their mutant powers — with whom they are working closely.
