'X-Men: The New Mutants' Is a 'Full-Fledged Horror Movie' Without Costumes or Supervillains

How do you set yourself apart in a world increasingly jam-packed with X-Men projects? Make something straight-up terrifying (and not in an Apocalypse-might-ruin-the-world sense).

“We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe,” writer/director Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) tells Entertainment Weekly of the film starring Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane and Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, Barry) as Magik. Boone goes on: 

“There are no costumes. There are no supervillains. We’re trying to do something very, very different. ... We love that Fox wants to make all these different X-Men spinoffs as drastically different as they can.”
