I'm just curious about what Giantrobo thinks. I hear he's a DC comics fan!

If you say so. I just don't see how agreeing with you with no details is acceptable but disagreeing with no details is threadcrapping. It's a thread about the project. The project elicits responses. They're all valid.

The title sounds like they're cashing in on the franchise name and making a low budget Direct-to-DVD release.

As long as it doesn't mean that Hackner gets the Superman franchise in exchange for this whole thing, I'm fine with it.

I love all the X-Men movies, they are fun to watch.
Awesome news! Bring it! |

Apparently they went back to the drawing board and are re-writing the entire script. Singer and Jamie Moss, who wrote the screenplay for Street Kings, are developing the script. |
re: X-Men: First Class (Vaughn, 2011)
I still hope they tie this into the current series. It shouldn't be too hard.

What ever happened to the Logan's Run remake Singer was going to do??

re: X-Men: First Class (Vaughn, 2011)
So how many comic book based movies are in the works? I'm getting kind of burnt out with them. I'd like to see some fresh material for a change.

Meanwhile - http://www.variety.com/article/VR111...1&ref=vertfilm Singer had been flirting with the project since last summer (Daily Variety, Aug. 13). Deal was made after the studio sparked to a detailed treatment he wrote for the film. Jamie Moss was hired to write the script, and the studio will move aggressively. Singer told Daily Variety that he thought long and hard about returning to the franchise he launched until he found a storyline that would stand on its own. "This is the formative years of Xavier and Magneto, and the formation of the school and where there relationship took a wrong turn," Singer said. "There is a romantic element, and some of the mutants from 'X-Men' will figure into the plot, though I don't want to say which ones. There will be a lot of new mutants and a great villain." |

Will Bryan Singer ever again make a non-superhero movie?
What a waste of talent. |

re: X-Men: First Class (Vaughn, 2011)
After his cash grab to make the most recent Superman film, this news isn't surprising. After leaving us X-fans in the lurch with a craptacular 3rd act from a crappy script and director, it appears he is after another money grab. Of Course the producers would pay him what he wants, after X3 with no possible way to save the franchise after they drove it into a corner that they can't get out of. I will probably see this as I grew up on these characters and want to see them done right, And he did make X2 one of the best comic book movies of all time.

re: X-Men: First Class (Vaughn, 2011)
problem is that sadly Iceman and Angel don't fit in the movie continuity here. It'd be awesome if it was like the original team.

Singer's out as director, in as producer.
...Singer and 20th Century Fox have formalized his move from director to producer on X-Men: First Class. That is the bad news for X-Men die-hards who love the first two films Singer directed. Here's the good part: he is leaving because Fox liked the script that Jamie Moss wrote from Singer's treatment so much that the studio wants the film right away, envisioning it as the first leg of a trilogy. The hope is to have it ready for 2011 release. Singer will join Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg as producers. He's not available because Warner Bros and Legendary are locked into a summer production start on Jack the Giant Killer. They’ll begin casting shortly. It is a big CG project, and they are likely to either shoot 3D or convert it later. |
re: X-Men: First Class (Vaughn, 2011)
There really is no point to making a first class. It's going to be younger versions of the characters, probably use the same crappy actor from Wolverine to play Cyclops and it's just going to be meh.
If they wanted to make a prequel they should have just made it a pure Magneto & Professor Xavier movie. Them growing up, them befriending when they meet each other, and then ending the movie with the first class. That'd be fine. It would be a good drama. The next X-Men film should be X-Men 4, seeing as the 3rd film left off with a cliffhanger. |

The relationship between Magneto and Xaviar is like the relationship between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. |
