I'd prefer a rotating cast of older mutants, but i'm not ready to trash this idea yet.

Josh Schwartz = Awesome in my book. The O.C., Chuck and Gossip Girl are all damn good shows with sharp writing. If he's going to bring those kind of smarts to a new X-men movie, I'm in.

Come on, X-men has more drama and angst than any comic in history :lol:
But for this to work, its going to hinge on the characters. Without Wolverine, theyre going to be hurting. |

Yes, everything must be recast with various flavors of the month.
The past sucks. Old things suck. Old people suck. |
As a TV show, sure. As a movie, no....the memory of X-Men 3 is still too much to bear.

X-Men: First Class
Apparently this will begin shooting next year.
SuperHeroHype.com reports that Tim Pocock, who played the young Scott Summers/Cyclops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has revealed that he will reprise the role in 20th Century Fox's X-Men: First Class. "Currently shooting Australian TV series till February 2010...then X-men first class," he said on his Twitter account. "Wolverine" producer Lauren Shuler Donner recently hinted that a new "X-Men" movie would start production in 2010. Written by Josh Schwartz, the film will likely draw from elements of the Marvel Comic of the same name, launched in 2006. I hope they leave Patrick Stewart's face alone this time around. The same for Ian McKellan if he makes an appearance. |
Re: X-Men: First Class
I thought X-Men the Last Stand had a better de-aged Stewart than the recent one; if they do it right, it shouldn't be a problem.
Hopefully they are following what Wolverine did and make it a period piece. |
Re: X-Men: First Class
It wasn't too bad during the closeups in Wolverine but during the far shots it looked like a total head replacement (and a badly done one at that).
Still, I can't imagine the effect holding up well for the entire duration of a feature length movie. And I bet such an effect could easily eat up the effects budget. That's money I'd rather see spent on mutant powers. |
Re: X-Men: First Class
Yeah, Stewart's head was floating. Why can't they just make him a bit younger using practical make up? It still looked weird in X3.

Re: X-Men: First Class
It depends on how involved Professor X will be in the story; if it's going to be a Professor X and cast story, then I can see money being an issue. Seeing as how they're using lesser known actors for the main roles, they should have money for a great effects budget.

Re: X-Men: First Class
Hopefully, this will wash the bad taste of Wolverine (currently my pick for worst movie of the summer AND year) away.

Re: X-Men: First Class
Well with Josh Schwartz writing, I'm definitely intrigued...
|
Re: X-Men: First Class
Eh Id rather see another sequel. Too bad they screwed the pooch and killed everyone, but there are still tons of mutants to choose from. I would like to see a Cyclops/White Queen lead team.
|
Re: X-Men: First Class
I hope they re-cast Emma Frost as well. In the Wolverine movie, I just felt like I was watching a young:

Re: X-Men: First Class
If they can make it better than Wolverine I might be interested, but I don't really see that happening.

Either of those could easily fit into a present day sequel and would be perfect setup for Mr. Sinister and even Apocalypse. |
Re: X-Men: First Class
I hope they can recast Wolverine. Make him 5'3 like the comic book..making him look like a scary vicious husky animal.

Re: X-Men: First Class
^ I don't think he's even going to be in it.

Re: X-Men: First Class
It sucks that they used Angel and Iceman as kids; previous rumors had this being a prequel of sorts, so it will be interesting what other mutants they add as the founding class. It would be cool to see Beast pre-fur or something.

Re: X-Men: First Class
After the way Fox keeps butchering the property, I'm going to gracefully give this flick the good ole El Paso. :down:

I really hope they do Danger Room stuff and do it well. |
