X2 movie book?

Can anybody tell me when the moviebook for X2 will be available? None of the online stores have a date and neither does the publishers website. My local B&N doesn't know either, or at least the guy I spoke with had no idea.

I'm looking forward to picking this book up mainly for the screenplay, but nobody seems to know anything. Can anybody help me out here?

I am a member of the Science Fiction Book Club and in the most recent circular they have the novelization listed as one of their new releases.

Check it out at www.sfbc.com, it's listed under the movie section on the right side of the home page. By the way, it is written by Chris Claremont, probably the best X-Men comic book writer of all-time.

Here is the direct link, but if you're not registered with them you may be redirected to the sign up page.

Hopefully you won't have to join the club to buy it.

It's a great book written by a great writer and comic legend, Chris Claremont. And since I can't pass up this opportunity for a plug, we recently conducted a HUGE and very entertaining interview with Chris Claremont. He talks about all aspects of the book, as well as superhero movies and the X-Men in general.

And just in case people weren't aware, the movie itself is loosely based on Claremont's story, "God Loves, Man Kills."

Yeah, Giantrobo is right. The ending is different.

I picked this novel up months ago at a bookstore in Philly. Around mid-april I believe. Had it read in a week. Great story. Great movie.

Just finished the Hulk novel a week and a half ago. Another GREAT story. Can't wait for the movie.

So what was different about the ending?

After the flick came out, I checked out the Comic Book adaptation and they didn't even have the END of the flick..

If I remember right...

Spoiler:
Although they did touch on Jean's changes, they did NOT have her giving her life at the end.


some other differences or details left out of the film...

Spoiler:
Wolverine knows it's Mystique as soon as she comes into his tent by her scent. He refuses to do her because he wants to be a better man. Jean and Logan kiss at the plane but Jean enjoys it in the book and it lasts longer. Storm and Nightcrawler start to get into each other.
