September 29, 2007 — IGN has learned from a reliable source that screenwriter Skip Woods has been brought in to revise David Benioff's screenplay for Wolverine.

The Fox brass are said to be high on Woods' work on the forthcoming game-to-film Hitman and have tapped the scribe to rewrite their X-Men spin-off. Our source added that Woods' draft will amount to "more than a polish" of the existing screenplay.

Woods also scripted Swordfish starring Hugh Jackman, who also stars in and produces Wolverine. The Gavin Hood-directed superhero film reportedly chronicles Logan's adventures prior to joining the X-Men.

Filming gets under way this November in Australia for a 2008 release.
