But now he’s jumping back in a big way, joining both Fox’s X-Men spin-off X-Men Origins: Wolverine and signing up to join Jude Law and Forest Whitaker in Repossession Mambo.

Miguel Sapochnik’s making his movie directing debut with the movie, which Eric Garcia adapted from his novel with Garrett Lerner.
It’s shooting right now and should be hitting our screens in 2009.
