EXCLUSIVE: Screenwriter Jane Goldman has signed with WME. The British scribe is best known for teaming with director Matthew Vaughn to write Stardust and Kick-Ass. They are now scribbling away on X-Men: First Class as Vaughn heads to the starting gate. They also scripted The Debt, the John Madden-directed drama that was just accepted into the Toronto Film Festival. Separately, she adapted the Susan Hill novel The Woman in Black, which James Watkins will direct this fall with Daniel Radcliffe starring. Goldman, who has an incredible track record for seeing her penned projects make it into production, continues to be repped in the UK by Independent. This is the first time she has had a Hollywood agent. WME also reps Vaughn.


Excellent! This is one supremely talented lady person!
Really? Because so far she has shown herself incapable of telling a story without long draggy bits, despite her husband’s enthusiastic cheerleading on TV and Radio and Matthew Vaughn’s continuing patronage
Viz your comment, Milly, it’s necessary to see past the faults of the films and look to the underlying scripts. Stardust and Kick-Ass are both adaptations, the former of a Neil Gaiman story, the latter an 18 cert graphic novel. I would lay the blame for the long draggy bits at the feet of others.
