Blue Ambitions: The Beast & Mystique X3 Thread.
Thread inspired by SHH! member Lightnin' Strikez!

Welcome to the first official thread dedicated solely to Kelsey Grammer aka Dr. Hank McCoy (Beast) and Rebecca Romijn aka Raven Darkholme (Mystique)...the fantastic BLUE characters of X3 (sorry, Nightcrawler) :( Here, we will discuss all things blue, in relation to both Beast and Mystique respectively.

You can discuss Nightcrawler as well, but seeing as he's possibly going to not be featured anywhere in X3, the thread is titled to the two character who are locked and confirmed.Lets talk about the comic book characters, the actors, and their roles in X3. Also feel free to post your favorite pictures of these fantastic blue mutants!

Beast is an awesome character and Kelsey Grammer is perfect for the role.

[Avalanche]

Oooooh, nice formatting.

Next, that sketch of Beast makes him look like some kind of giant sloth.

Finally, I wonder whether we'll get to see Beast and Mystique in a scene together? I suspect not, unless she's in the form of Senator Kelly.

[Electrix]

Or the President...

BEAST:
The Comic Book Character

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v44/catwomanmovie/200px-NEWX148.jpg

Codename: Beast
Real Name: Dr. Henry 'Hank' Philip McCoy
Sex:Male
Race:Homo Superior
Occupation: X-Man, Scientist
Identity: Publicly known
Legal Status:Citizen of the United States with no criminal record
Place of Birth: Dunfee, Illinoise
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: Norton McCoy - father; Edna McCoy - mother.
Current Group Membership:The X-Men
Former Group Membership: The Avenger, The Defenders, X-Factor
Base of Operations: Xavier School for the Gifted


Known Superhuman Powers: Hank McCoy has superhuman strength and endurance, as well as superhuman coordination (he can perform many tasks with his feet as easily as a human would do with his hands) and speed. The physical manifestations of his mutation are his elongated limbs and oversized extremeties, which were evident since birth. Experimenting with his mutation, Hank inadvertently gave himself blue (originally grey) fur and a more simian posture. Following a critical injury, he mutated even further, changing from a primate to a more feline appearance. His level of superhuman strength and speed have been augmented moderately over the years by these various physiological changes, but it should be noted that they remain purely a product of his enhanced physiology, rather than of any higher power source.

Didn't they say Beast was gonna look alot like the Beast from the 90's X-men cartoon? I hope so, I like that look. :) :xmen:

Mystique:
The Comic Character

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v44/catwomanmovie/230px-Mystique11.png

Real Name: Raven Darkholme
Alias: Mystique; Mallory Brickman
Place Of Birth: Unknown
Birthdate: Unknown
Species: Human/Mutant (Homo Superior)
Age: Unknown
Eye Color: Yellow
Hair Color: Red/Orange
Weight: 120 lbs.
Height: 5'10
Family And Friends: Unofficial Foster Daughter - Rogue[/url]; Husband - Ralph Brickman; Daughter - Gloria Brickman; Son - Graydon Creed (Deceased)

History: Little has been revealed about Mystique's past. Indeed, since she can eliminate the outward signs of aging with her shape-changing power, it is not known exactly how old she is. She apparently learned to use her shape-changing power at a very early age, for there is no evidence known to the public or the United States government that Raven Darkholme ever looked like anything but a normal human being. Years ago Mystique had an affair with the mutant Sabretooth and they had a son, Graydon Creed, the recently assassinated presidential candidate. Mystique has also claimed to be the mother of Nightcrawler, a member of the X-Men, as the result of a liaison with another, unnamed man. Mystique is known to be a longtime friend of the mutant Destiny who is now deceased. At some point in recent years Mystique became the protectress of the young mutant named Rogue, and looked upon Rogue as a surrogate daughter.

Powers: Mystique is a mutant metamorph. She can psionically shift the atoms and molecules of her body and of whatever clothing she is wearing so as to change her and its appearance. As a result she can cause herself to look and sound like an exact duplicate of any human, humanoid, or semi-humanoid being of either sex, wearing virtually any kind of clothing. Her control is so exact that she can precisely duplicate another person's retina pattern in her own eyes, finger, palm and skin-pore patterns on her own hands and skin, and vocal cords to match voices to the point of corresponding voiceprints.

First Appearance: As Raven Darkholme, in the comic Ms. Marvel #16; as Mystique, in the comic Ms. Marvel #18

Avi said it when Kelsey was confirmed.

[Avalanche]

this is a cool part when she slides through the doors...and then flicks stryker off!

http://www.filmhobbit.com/moviereviews/images/xmen2/trailer/18.jpg
You have to wonder how she managed to slide backward through those doors. I mean, the floor doesn't look that slippery.

You'll note on the trailer the scene is changed slightly too to make it available to a wider audience.

[Jan Irisi]

I actually like the Evolution version of Beast. I like the fact that they made him not so blue, but rather gun metal greyish.

[snwboarder88]

I hope this is NOT what beast will look like in x3...he looks like a sloth, or a bad monster from a bad horror movie




http://www.x-men.stopklatka.pl/xmengrafika/2beast.jpg

[JP]

Well, I can definately see Kelsey looking like that, but who knows.

[gap5ewl]

i hope he isnt to blue like maybe a little shade of blue with some grey mixed in

[Jan Irisi]

You have to wonder how she managed to slide backward through those doors. I mean, the floor doesn't look that slippery.

Perhaps the floor was powdered as opposed to oiled. Talcum powder works wonders, especially when combined with the prosthetic appliances she wore.

How will Beast be brought to the big screen?
A look at previous quotes.

Mike Elizalde mentioned earlier that Kelsey Grammer had been life scanned for his Beast suit, and talks about the Beast effects @ IESB.net (Video interview (http://www.iesb.net/upcomingfilm/movie060705.php))

While Grammer might seem a surprise to play a 355-pound blue-colored brute, producer Avi Arad said, "Kelsey was born to play the role," explaining that Beast is the most intelligent of the mutants, a pacifist Ph.D. and genetic researcher named Hank McCoy.

"This is a big role in the new movie, and when we met with him, you can see that Kelsey has that you'd-better-have-a-dictionary-handy intelligence," said Arad, who's producing with Lauren Shuler Donner and Ralph Winter.


(07.12.05) Will Juggernaut and Beast be CGI characters? If not, how will they do the suits for both of them, and the acrobatics for Beast? - Justin

XMF's Reply: The actor will be put into a complicated outfit, with numerous prosthetics (Rebecca Romijn's Mystique had it easy!). The Beast character will be a blend of practical and computer effects...in the case of CGI, it will be used especially when the character is agile, and performing extraordinary feats. - www.xmenfilms.net

Romijn getting into shape for X3
Thanks Electric Wire

KANGAROO JACK star JERRY O'CONNELL has stepped in to train his girlfriend REBECCA ROMIJN for the third X-MEN movie when it starts shooting next month (AUG05).

The actor has picked up enough tips from his brother CHARLIE, who used to be a professional fitness trainer in Hollywood, to set his girlfriend a rigorous work-out schedule, so she'll look great when she reprises her role as all-blue MYSTIQUE.

Romijn feels it's the least her man can do - as he's partly responsible for her weight gain, which has got gossips speculating about her health for the past few months.

She explains, "I've had a great year with my boyfriend. I fell in love and had lots of romantic dinners. It was worth every last chocolate mousse and bottle of wine. But now it's crunch time.

Beast is one of my fave X-Men - hooray for his FINALLY being in a movie

[Holly Goodhead]

gambit could make me explode.

[JP]

So this thread went from Mystique and Beast, to how dangerous certain mutants would be in bed!!???

[aaron]

seems that way, personally for me, jean grey would be most dangerous in bed.

[Holly Goodhead]

i could have flying sex with angel

[aaron]

lol - where will u be flying over?

[Holly Goodhead]

church

[aaron]

will u be using a condom?

[Ions]

This thread is so offtopic(I'd totally nail Jean too)!
You know talking about the blue fur/cgi and such for Beast, they really made a casting mistake, they should of gotten Robin Williams. Think about it, for him all they'd need to do is dunk him in some blue hair dye, his excessive body hair will do the rest. :cyclops: [Ions is joking]

Does anyone remember how long before X-2 was released we got pics of the cast in their costumes? I really wanna see what Beast looks like. :up: :)

[JP]

Thats a really good picture of him. Very Beast like.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Since this thread is totally off topic anyways:

I am so completely stoked that I'm in jpsketch's sig :):up:

Anyways, back on the subject:

Storm, or Psylocke for me. Or both of them. That'd be a great night for me :cool:

(Great, I've dropped so far down taht I'm fantasizing about drawings now)

You, Know. Even though the GX movie sucked. If they made a new modern version on the big screen it might not be half bad.

[newwaveboy87]

hell they could redo it as a cable/TV movie and it'd probably turn out better then what it did the first time around

[TNC9852002]

Heh...anad BTW, that Family Guy episode wasn't too bad!...

It's good to see that there are still shows and stuff out there who are acknowledging the X-Men...For a while there it was just nothing but Spider-Man gags all over the place...

Family Guy is my 2nd favorite show next to X-Men the animated series

I definitely grew up fascinated by Ninja Turtles (but not really GI Joe, but I liked Beast Wars transformers)...It's probably up there somewhere...If not in my Top 20, it's pretty close...I haven't seen many episodes of it lately..

Yeah,..many of those saturday/weekday morning Disney cartoons were total gems...like Ducktales and....Goof Troop.. :p

How Can I Reach Kelsey Grammer?

Don't know if he ever checks it, but found this e-mail address at his webpage:
kelsey@kelseylive.com (kelsey@kelseylive.com)

Who IS Kelsey Grammer?
His biography.

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/new_line_cinema/15_minutes/kelsey_grammer/15minutes.jpg

(1999) A three-time Emmy Award winner, Grammer is the first actor in television history to receive multiple Emmy nominations for performing the same role on three series. He received two nominations for his original portrayal of Dr. Frasier Crane on "Cheers" (1982), another for his guest appearance in that role on "Wings" (1990), and eight nominations (earning three awards) as Outstanding Actor for his work on "Frasier" (1993). Over the years, Dr. Frasier Crane has become one of television's most endearing and enduring characters. In addition to his Emmys, Grammer has won two Golden Globe Awards, two American Comedy Awards and a People's Choice Award for his portrait. Grammer's distinctive voice has been heard in several hit animated features, including the voice of Stinky Pete in Disney's hit Toy Story 2Anastasia (1997). On television, he has also been seen in several mini-series and movies. In 1996, he hosted an hour-long salute to Jack Benny for which he served as executive producer. He also starred in HBO's award-winning The Pentagon Wars (1998) (TV).

Born in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, Grammer was raised by his mother and grandfather in New Jersey and then Florida. After his grandfather's death, Grammer was drawn to the works of 'William Shakespeare' and spent two years at the prestigious Juilliard School. He then dove into the world of regional theater, eventually making the leap to Broadway with roles in "Macbeth" and "Othello." He joined the cast of "Cheers" (1982) in 1984. His autobiography, So Far, was published in fall 1995.

Interesting fact: Has appeared with Patrick Stewart in three different productions: "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987), "Frasier" (1993) and X-Men 3 (2006).

From Grammer's IMDB page.

[newwaveboy87]

this is Rebecca Romjin's 4th movie for Marvel

X1, X2, Punisher, and now X3 and has anyone else heard that she might be Black Widow? she's there go-to actress for just about every role.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

"Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987)

Now way was that show around in 1987!!! I know I was young when that show came out... but.... ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

No, that has to be wrong. No way was I 4 when that show was on.

[newwaveboy87]

Nell it was on in 87, Will Wheaton was on the show shortly after he did Stand By Me

[the a1ant]

Star Trek: The Next Generation

1987-1994 ;)

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Nell it was on in 87, Will Wheaton was on the show shortly after he did Stand By Me

I remember being like... 7 - 10 years old when that show was on (which I would have been anyways, since it had a long run), but I really don't recall it being on that long before... cuz I used to watch that show all the time.

Wow, I feel all old and stuff now. :(

[newwaveboy87]

yeah the show started the year i was born and ended when i was in 1st grade. and then the 10 million movies from it were coming out. so i dont remember i time when that show wasn't on the air or in some form of entertainment, still never watched it though.

Maybe he has already been in the X-Men and left for alittle while Wolverine came so theres a way

[newwaveboy87]

This might seem like a dirty question :p But did she have some piece covering her genetalia while on set? If you look at her back-side, it's obviously bare :eek:

blue thong for fight scenes and anytime she was in a "unique" position, they then digitally removed it from the movie. or at least that's what i believe they did.

[DrVenkman90]

well it looks good i think but put the white outfit over it please

[Octoberist]

No, leave her naked. For some reason, they never had a good shot at her really nice behind. Ratner, knowing that preverted maniac, can make that happen!

[DrVenkman90]

ohh man i want to see her with clothes lol

I like movie Mystique 10x better than whats in the comic. Leave her naked.

I swear in high school, they stressed out not to use "A LOT". And if you do, it's two words, not one. LOL.

I like Comic Mystique 10x better. She has like a personality and talks, but I'm bettin you're a male so I know which brain made that desision.

Her skull white dress kick ass, and makes her look sexier.:up:

But, it will never be in the movie.

It pissed me off when they turned Evolution Mystique more like the movie one, kinda out of no where!! GRRRR!

Well, I can understand you wanting her dress, but to say that movie Mystique doesn't have personality! :eek: She may not talk, but she definately has personality.

[JustABill]

Oh god. That Generation X thing looks terrible White Queen in a Dusty looking suit? Wrong on so many levels.

And Valor. That is the coolest picture of Ultimate Mystique.

[JustABill]

Yes. Movie Mystique definitely has a personality, a very flirty dangerous don't mess with me personality.

[Angry Sentinel]

ive never heard of this..oh god is..is the kid with the sunglasses scott? LOL... nope that's gen X: Chamber, jubilee, husk, Monet, etc. This movie came out a while ago and the reason why you never heard of it is because.... well just look at that picture, pretty much explains everything.

[JustABill]

Weren't Synch and Husk left out of the TV movie? I can understand why Husk was (because of her power.), but what's up with not having Synch in it?

[Jan Irisi]

Here's a question that has been bothering me. Will Beast's eyes be gold/yellow or will they be Kelsey's normal color? Which would look better? If they go gold/yellow, will they CG them in as they did for Mystique, or will Kelsey wear contacts? What are your preferrences?

(ok, that is more than one question......)

[JP]

I kinda want Kelseys own eye color. But if its a new yellow that is different from both Mystiques and Nightcrawlers, well so be it.

[JustABill]

I'd prefer for him to have the yellow eyes. It doesn't really matter to me if they cgi them or give him contacts. Just as long as it looks good.

[Jan Irisi]

I believe Kelsey has blue eyes. I guess to be accuarate they would need to be gold/yellow though. (can't have the folks stomping their feet about Beast having the wrong eye color). But I'm tired of gold/yellow eyes.

However, if they weren't so in-your-face gold/yellow it wouldn't be so bad. Perhaps a subtle muted amber? Or even leaning to a more copper color wouldn't be bad. I don't know, I haven't had my coffee yet so I'm a bit befuzzled.

[JustABill]

Hmm. Just as long as they aren't the same color as Mystique's.

[Jan Irisi]

Hmm. Just as long as they aren't the same color as Mystique's.


Exactly. :up:

[JustABill]

Who I hope doesn't loose her powers. :(

[Valorman]

is it just me..or did they plan to have at least one gold eyed blue skinned character in each film on purpose

CCONNSSPIIRRAACCYY OOO

[JustABill]

I've been noticed that. Hell, I think Rebecca or Alan, one maybe it was both, joked that they hoped to have new members to their ''blue squad" in X3.

Boris and Julie always do well, but their art is NOT made for Tattoos! :eek:


This thread is so offtopic(I'd totally nail Jean too)!
You know talking about the blue fur/cgi and such for Beast, they really made a casting mistake, they should of gotten Robin Williams. Think about it, for him all they'd need to do is dunk him in some blue hair dye, his excessive body hair will do the rest. :cyclops: [Ions is joking] You, myself and one other person are the only people I know who honestly think Williams could do Beast. Not that I'm not happy with Fraiser-Beast. but Williams was my first choice.

[the a1ant]

I wouldn't mind seeing blue eyes, but here's the next question:

Should they make Beast's eyes cat-like, or human-like? You know what I'm talking about. The pupil of the eye? Are his eyes cat-like now (in the comics), since he went through that 2nd mutation, which made him look less human? Or are they regular I can't remember.

[Valorman]

Boris and Julie always do well, but their art is NOT made for Tattoos! :eek:


You, myself and one other person are the only people I know who honestly think Williams could do Beast. Not that I'm not happy with Fraiser-Beast. but Williams was my first choice.

you can add another to that list..i always though robin williams was beast incarnate..not that kelsey is a bad choice hes an AMAZING choice..but i kinda had my heart on robin..i love the guy..watch good will hunting and tell me that wasint a good choice for beast

[JustABill]

Yes, but Robin just doesn't have a very great voice for Beast. I wouldn't want to hear his voice come from Beast's lips. Kelsey's an AMAZING choice, and has the perfect voice to match.

[Drakon]

Yes, but Robin just doesn't have a very great voice for Beast. I wouldn't want to hear his voice come from Beast's lips. Kelsey's an AMAZING choice, and has the perfect voice to match.The voice, yes. That would have been weird, but easily able to adjust to, [But I also have to deal with weird voices all the time anyway, so maybe I'm just easily adapting]. Williams, however, would have perfect delivery of most/all cornball jokes that we know and love Hank for. Again, I'm more than satisfied with Grammar, but Williams, in my opinion, would have dune just as well.

[JustABill]

True, Robin would have perfect delivery on those lines, but just that's not the voice I hear when I read the comics. Neither is Kelsey's either. That honor belongs to George Buza. Heh, but we can't have him as Beast can we, since we had him in that oh so pivotal role of the truck driver.

[Drakon]

Hahaha. Too true. In all honesty, most of the voices I hear when I read the comics are from the cartoon. Cyke, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Wolvie and Beast particularly.

Also, congrats on 1000.

[Angry Sentinel]

Edit.... In all honesty, most of the voices I hear when I read the comics are from the cartoon. Cyke, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Wolvie and Beast particularly. It's funny how that works isnt it. I bet we all do that. I wonder what that type of "association" is called?

[JustABill]

I know this going to be odd coming from me, one of the biggest Nightcrawler fans there is, but I can't really remember his voice from the cartoon series. It's odd, I have all these nice voices for everyone from the TV series, but not for my fav character. :(

[Drakon]

I refer to it as "Character Association".

Nothing against James Marsden, but his voice doesn't seem as commanding as the voice from the cartoon. I know that one is a cartoon, and the other is real life, but it's just hard to get behind that voice. It doesn't scream "Leadership". I think that's the same problem I have with Halle Berry. In the comics, Storm is portrayed as a very strong woman, and no matter how hard I try, or how many of her movies I see, Halle Berry doesn't give me that vibe. Hell, I think Angela Basset does a better job at that. [Not to diss Berry, but that's merely my opinion.]

[Valorman]

you know what else is weird..whenever a new show comes out and there was one already"I.E. x-men TAS then x-men evolution" i can never quite grasp the voices in the new show because i keep thinking they will be the ones from the old show..and once that shock of "its a new voice OMG" wears off..it just seems like the new voice is ammiturish in comparrison..even if its honestly better..i dont know why i think that

He wasn't there a lot, so it's no suprise for you to not remember his voice.

[Angry Sentinel]

Character Association.. makes sense, And I know exactly what you mean about James and Halle. I used to post on a Sci-fi board and when they argued about acting and directing and who who was bad or who was good, my main point was attitude. I know this goes to acting, but the main thing I would change about both those characters would be their voice portrayal of the character. Neither of them spoke in the mannerisms of their comic counterpart. I bet even the crappy lines that were used in those movies would have been 10x better had someone just showed James and Halle how to speak them better.

[JustABill]

He was featured in an episode or two actually, just one he was important to the story. They screwed him over in TAS, but oh well, the series was still the best darn animated series X-Men could have asked for.

I had this same problem. It wasn't so bad with Evolution because the voices were still very similar. However, I will never except Bruces voice on The Batman. :mad: Kevin Conroy will always be Batman.

[JustABill]

Bruce's voice on The Batman is very very....unique to say the least. Lol. I've only seen two episodes of that series. One with Catwoman, that was mildly interesting and another with Penguin and Man Bat, and that one was just insanely terrible.

Hell, even Rupaul could do a good job as Storm if given the right attitude about it. But the problem [at least with Halle] is that it'd be too little, too late. I simply CAN'T take her serious. She's little more than a parody of seriousness. Swordfish, Monster's Ball, even the X films, I can't take her seriously. It's like the casting director sat and said "How many hot black chicks can I think of? Halle Berry.........Halle Berry!! Call her!". Hell, even Stacy Dash would have been a good choice in terms of screen presence, except she still carries that baggage from her "Clueless" days.

I could see that, but I also could see that being one of the things easily changed. You know to throw us off. And beast has been used in just about every "Serum" story the Xmen has ever had. They always have him in the same capacity... ambiguous about being big blue! I think this may be a new plot twist they are trying to keep secret.

A poster (Remylebeau) on the Countingdown.com boards spotted this drawing on the official site of the artist who did the Cyclops vs Juggernaut storyboard. Could this be his impression of Beast?

[chris moore]

Its a very cool concept - but it doesnt look very much like Kelsey. If the artist rendered it with Kelsey's likeness but in the same beast style - then I'm not sure itd look so good. Then again - the mouth is quite similar and the forehead is big enough - maybe if it had a squarer jaw itd be more like him. Nice though - cant wait for the official photo! You all reckon it'll be in uniform, in a lab coat and trunks, in shorts and t-shirt, or in beige pants and flannel shirt?

[Octoberist]

The bad thing is that b/c it's in black and white, it looks like an older Wolverine with pointy ears. In other words, it looks too..ordinary to be Beast. But with color, maybe it can stand out a bit, ya know.

I don't mean to nickpick...but technically...if this is dedicated to blue characters (and I apoligize if it's been mentioned before)...shouldn't NIghtcrawler and Angel be included? I mean, for a large portion of the cartoons and comics, Angel was blue...and NIghtcrawler is...well...Nightcrawler...

[StormCrazy]

I have a question (well questions actually) about Mystique's scar that she got from Wolverine in X1 and as we all know it is still visible in X2. Is it suppose to heal? Can she change it back to normal again? As far as I know her shape-shifting ability keeps her young. She can shape-shift whatever flaw that she have in her body, from scar to body tissue. Did Bryan Singer and the rest made an error about this? Or is it me? Can anyone answer this?

[JP]

Well.. you don't really see the scar on Mystique. Only on Famke. Wierd.

[StormCrazy]

Oh, yes it's there! Not to visible though because of her blue skin. But you can see it clearly on the camp site scene on X2 because of the light coming from the bon fire.:)

As stated in another thread Dermont Mulroney (pictured below) auditioned for Beast.

The resembelance is uncanny. Folks this looks like it actually might be authentic concept art. This might be a glimpse of what Beast might look like. Then again they could go a totally different route since its just concept art still interesting nonetheless. The Mulroney just looks to much like that drawing not for it to be true in my mind.

O yeah! I love Mystique, once I read the X2 Novelization, and saw how kick ass her character was in X2, I made this screen name! I was so hyped for her character. I hope that they are consistent with her character! Go Mystique. I am only a fan of the movie Mystique. Hated the comic book/cartoon one. Storm is still my all-time favorite character in the comics/cartoons! So she better rock too!

Something funny to share...

I work at a popular tourist area in Vancouver and today when I went to work I heard that Kelsey Grammer was in our store a few days ago. My co-workers were too shy to ask for an autograph! I wish I was working that day. Supposedly he ate some of our candy and paid for it afterwards.

[N_z0]

Sweet,anyone know the chicks that auditioned for Mystique?

Most of the actresses who read for Jean Grey also auditioned for Mystique. This might not be true for most of them so i'll just name of those who tried out for either characters:

Famke and Rebecca (duh)
Jeri Ryan
Maria Belo (sp?)
Peta Wilson

There's probably some others but i can't think of anyone else right now.

Most of the actresses who read for Jean Grey also auditioned for Mystique. This might not be true for most of them so i'll just name of those who tried out for either characters:

Famke and Rebecca (duh)
Jeri Ryan
Maria Belo (sp?)
Peta Wilson

There's probably some others but i can't think of anyone else right now.

Oh yeah and ashlocke where do you work at?
Wilson was actually cast but had to back out due to a scheduling confilct. Imagine the X-Men cast if Singer had gotten his first choice for some of the roles (not bad)

-Dougray Scott - Logan/Wolverine
-James Caviezel - Scott Summers/Cyclops
-Peta Wilson - Dr.Jean Grey
-Angela Basset - Ororo Munroe/Storm
-Maggie Cheung - Yuriko Oyama/Lady Deathstrike
-Ethan Embry - Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler
-(Wrestler) Hawk - Piotr Rasputin/Colossus

Beast description from hollywoodnorthreport (http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2718&st=15)

ya i saw kelsey he was cool loking a very dark blue and the muscle suit looked huge even from 20 feet away which is as close as i got to him in full makeup. it was funnny though he spoke on his cell for a while in his normal voice that looked very strange!! i also met bill duke who plays the secaritary of defence , the actor who plays the lead general and the president as well. there was a girl who is playing one of magneto's bad mutant kids it was her first xmen film and she plays avery small part a got a couple of pics of her and the director though.

so either they mention scarlet witch as Magneto's daughter in the film or the poster was just privy to X-men world.

dont forget Gina Gershon as Mystique

ooohhhh...i knew i forgot someone. yeah but she had to back out because she was gonna star in a Charlie's Angels type girl spy show, Snoops. We all know how that turned out.

Ashlocke, did you see the FF filming then?

[newwaveboy87]

and Sarah Michelle Gellar as Rogue

Unfortunately not. My sister saw them up at UBC though.

I am waiting for Hugh Jackman to walk through our front door!

i think that was just fan speculation though. Along with Angela Basset as Storm. She was interviewed years after X-men came out and she said it would have been an honor to have been asked but the fact was, she wasn't.

[Kmack]

I think Angela Bassett would have made a great Storm, but I was always told she turned down the role.

[newwaveboy87]

i always heard they talked to her about it but decided to go with someone younger - hence how we got Halle

This one that i read was an interview with her done a couple years ago. She said she was never approaced about the role. :(

we are sad sad people. :( :p

[newwaveboy87]

hmm...maybe it was just talk amongst the producers then, and then they decided to go with someone younger instead...cause Angela Bassett doesn't look half her ago or like she could some ass or anything like that....no...not...at...all

X-Men left the set this weekend. Jackman came back with an Emmy, and Romijn came back with an engagement ring.

I'm happy for Rebecca. I hope it lasts.

[newwaveboy87]

i'm still very sad and shocked that she and John Stamos broke up. they seemed so happy, and like such a nice couple together. it was very sad to hear they broke up, they were a surprise.

but good for her and her putting her life back into order and such. i wish the best for her.

I was sad. As lond as Will and Jada are together. Now, If they break up... there is no hope for anyone. :(

Here is my quickly(relatively) photo-chopped version of Kelsey Grammer as the Beast. Be gentle.http://x7.putfile.com/9/26218195915.jpg (http://putfile.com/)

[JustABill]

It's not bad at all.

[N_z0]
