They say whatever you want them to say the ceremonies themselves are really very flexible as they aren't religious like marriage. So you can choose what music you like, whether you will kiss at the end, if rings will be exchanged and how you would like to be addressed etc..lol where are you from? all marriages gay or strait you can choose the music and how you will be addressed...
Thanks guys for filling me in.:up:

A cousin of mine tried to marry to the sound of Slayer's "Hell Awaits" and the priest didn't allowed that.

[flavio_lebeau]

Man, the Photography really should have shown more of that detailist work on the screen. On most scenes you don't even get a look at the background mutants. And in that protest in front of the clinic, the mutants are just like humans...

[the a1ant]

I agree. It sucks we didn't get to see more of the background mutants, who didn't look human. All that hard work done, and they don't even get their time on the big screen.

[Pyroschik]

i agree. im rly freaked out now after looking at these photos.:(

[xmenfilesfan05]

I'm pretty sure everyone has seen this image, I just wasn't sure if we've seen it in this size or quality? If we have, sorry...but I'll put it up anyway.

[Psionic Force]

Something looks 'off' about this image .... just looks like it was enlarged and some of their heads look like they were manipped onto it.

[XMENfreaq]

yeah i know..look at kitty :(

[flavio_lebeau]

this is a manip, made by the FOX guys and released as a still. Just look at the space between Logan's legs. Bad manip. LOL.

[XMENfreaq]

they suck at manipping..i mean im not a great maniper myself but cmon! a lot of people here manip better than this!

[Jan Irisi]

Um.........:wow:

That is just.....so...............:wow:

[spideyboy_1111]

lol what exactly is wrong with the space between logans legs? i use photoshop like crazy.. and manip stuff like crazy and trained to use the program.. and i dont really see anything wrong with that area

[gothicFLAVOURS]

this is a manip, made by the FOX guys and released as a still. Just look at the space between Logan's legs. Bad manip. LOL.
I don't see anything wrong with the space between Logan's legs, it's just the light, it's much clearer in that part. And I don't think that's a manip, even if it looks off, I think that's just the quality. It would be stupid to manip that scene and waste that time and money when they could have taken the picture when they were shooting.

[britrogue]

Apart from being a bit fuzzy, I see nothing wrong with it

[spideyboy_1111]

me either ot be honest its just heavely pixilated

[flavio_lebeau]

there is no line on the floor and the blue doesn't match? :confused:

[britrogue]

Isn't that light?

[3 Dev Adam]

No, no light. The pic was retouched.

But then again, movie promo pics have been retouched since the dawn of time, so there.

[gothicFLAVOURS]

there is no line on the floor and the blue doesn't match? :confused:
If you look closely or change the contrast in the picture you can see there is a line, it's just very faint. The blue between his legs does look weird, but since we don't know how the X-Basement set is lit up it could be just some different light acting there. Anyways, I just hope FOX will release all these pics in HQ.

I've got to say out everyone in that group shot Rogue looks the best in the X-suit. Shame she never really did anything in it.

[XMENfreaq]

i agree.... they just got us all pumped up in seeing her in uniform for promos and what do they do??? disappoint us! grrr.

It looks pretty much the same as the theatrical billboards and posters. The X logo might be bigger but that's it really.

[Savage Yautja]

Just joined but I thought this looked like the best place to share some pictures of my Wolverine outfit and jacket. I frickin' LOVE this jacket! It's an Italian leather replica of the one Hugh Jackman wore in X-Men 2 and 3. They basically used the same jacket for both films vs the onepiece suit in the first film.
The pants are from Costumebay ,the glove are motorbahhn.com on Ebay , blades I got off Ebay as a kit and I may refinish them to look polished.
P.S. the hair is ALL my own and it's real! :) Oakley sunglasses help give it the badass look. Finally got some better shoes coming to finish off the look right.

[flavio_lebeau]

I wish my costume for the party I went was like that :( Well, maybe not, since I ended the party without the belt, only one glove, little bits of vomit on the jacket and with only one claw inside my pocket. Alcohol sucks.

Great outfit, indeed.

[Bastila]

nice pictures at the top and cool outfit!

[Savage Yautja]

Thanks everyone, David P. gets all the credit for the jacket. He made a small run of these and I was lucky enough to nab one that fit. He's also doing the other Wolverine jacket seen in the 1st film. Two different styles with the zippered sleeves. Really quality work.

I actually got asked "if I rode my bike" when I saw Ghost Rider and wore the Wolverine jacket there. I looked that convincing.:woot:

she looks rly pretty in those magazine pics

[flavio_lebeau]

Man, there are so many unreleased promos. I had never seen this one of her...

[spideyboy_1111]

thats because its not a promo... its a magazine shoot

[flavio_lebeau]

It seems to be part of the same shoot that Halle and Hugh went through. If Kitty has pictures from it, maybe the other characters have it too.

[Angamb]

Surely, like Rogue, in fact she had one photo, with the car, remember? well, I we include the poster one, then would be two, so definetly Rogue has more promo pics, and surely a few of them better than already seen pics.

[ravana]

It seems to be part of the same shoot that Halle and Hugh went through. If Kitty has pictures from it, maybe the other characters have it too.

Yeah its a promotional photoshoot, as well as the usual 'character' promos there were a lot of 'photoshoot' style pics for X3 as well (with the car/wreckage, Wolverine and the soldiers, these motion shots, close up headshots). There are countless images from these shoots that havent been released by the studio or of those that have... the majority just dont get printed.

Which doesnt make a whole lot of sense...

It surely doesn't make sense. Now that the movie is over, they could have this little care to the fans and actually release all the pictures. It's not like they'll spoil anything.

cool, shes kinda cute( dont worry, im 15 and so is she.)

[Pyroschik]

She looks so young. I never wuda guessed she was 15

[Angamb]

I didn't remember she dyed her hair. Famke should have done it too.

[xii22_loop]

aww why?? famke had such a good wig in X3. (it was just a more purple-like red instead or orange-like red)

PS it should have been orange red

[Angamb]

good wig? I think it looked fake. Storm one was great, but the Jean one no. Just compare a X1 pic of Jean with a X3 one, and you'll see, hehe.

[gothicFLAVOURS]

I didn't like Jean's hair in X1, it wasn't red, it was brunette. I loved her hair in X3.

[Angamb]

I wasn't meaning the colour, but the hair, real one, natural looking. X3 was anything like natural, hahah.

[ToriL90]

Why didn't Famke want to dye her hair? She's beautiful as a red head! Beautiful as a brunette, too, but that's beside the point. If she looks great both ways, why not go with the one that fits the role?

[spideyboy_1111]

Funny tid-bit about hayley ram... she's a client at my friends agency he works at (i think it's a talent agency, but they get scripts too) anyways, she said brett ratner was the creepiest guy she ever had to work for... kept telling her she had to play jean very "sexually" and he'd always play with her hair... she said it really creeped her out and made her feel uncomfortable

[Pyroschik]

woah. that's just rly creepy. :(

[Angamb]

how can be that? How could Brett say those things to a young Jean? really weird...

[spideyboy_1111]

how can be that? How could Brett say those things to a young Jean? really weird...

lol your telling me brett has never come off as a perv to you? :huh:

he could also just be one of those creepy guys or girls who feel its ok to always get up close to kids and act like there best friend... patting there shoulders, or like the women who find it ok to always just go up and touch a womans stomach just because shes pregnant? either way its creepy...

[Pyroschik]

he does seem to be a creepy guy at times. :(

[BMM]

Why didn't Famke want to dye her hair? She's beautiful as a red head! Beautiful as a brunette, too, but that's beside the point. If she looks great both ways, why not go with the one that fits the role?

Because Janssen's hair wasn't long enough when principal photography began. The same goes for Hugh Jackman. I would have preferred better wigs for both. I mean, Hugh Jackman had an odd looking brown wig for a character who has always had black hair.

[TKing]

Have any pics of Famke from around that time?

[BMM]

^ Haha. I'm sure there are some floating around here somewhere... but no, I don't have any at the moment. At the time, I believe her hair was a little longer than shoulder length and it was dyed completely black.

Because Janssen's hair wasn't long enough when principal photography began. The same goes for Hugh Jackman. I would have preferred better wigs for both. I mean, Hugh Jackman had an odd looking brown wig for a character who has always had black hair.
I think the chances are good that Hugh isn't going to have to wear a wig for WOLVERINE since that starts filming not long after he finishes filming AUSTRALIA, and this is what his hair looks like in that film:

And here's what he looked like at an event (with his wife) over the weekend:

Yeah, and he doesn't look like he'll need to bulk up too much either. He pretty much looks like he's all set for Wolverine. :wolverine

He goes to the gym every day before he's due on the AUSTRALIA set, so he's getting ready! Here's a good look at his arms and chest:

Wow :up: People working there deserve a lot- I mean, today I was trying on some make-up all over my face for photography homework and it was so hard making it visually believable. I know you can't compare myself with a professional who's been working years and years on movies, but... you need so much patience. That's not easy at all. Even for the actor- I can't remember who it was Rebecca, or Kelsey but they had to stay like 8 hours for make-up! Again, wow.

X-MEN: LAST STAND lead artist/concept designs of background mutant makeups for Spectral Motion Inc.

These were executed in photoshop and had to be done very quickly. About 3 designs per day. Most of these were designed to be "paint-only" makeups although we did end up doing some to be appliances.

None of these makeups or designs made it in the final film as the director did not want to see mutants in the film? Don't ask...

Great find xii22_loop!!:up:

The designs for mutants look nice but somehow they look they belong in another movie.In a way i can understand why it was dropped.

There were already a good amount of freakish looking mutants in the movie and most of them weren't even visible.

maybe, but if Ben was in the place of that girl, the wings would look more or less like the X3 poster.

I'd say they used those wings or a replica, for the poster, at least.

There's a Mystique display at the Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy (May 7 - September 1, 2008) exhibition in the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Has anyone been to it?

Mystique

For the Film The X-Men

Moving away from Mystique's comic book interpretation and her being nude made design both challenging and fun, while offering the opportunity to pioneer a number of new technologies. Like a fabric, the majority of the prosthetic appliances were made flat, rather than from moulds of her body, as is the norm. We custom-designed materials to allow the flat appliance to stretch over the compound curves of her body, move with it, and stay without the use of glue. Intrinsically colored, they needed no topical coloration and were reusable. Only her exposed skin needed to be painted.

—Gordon Smith

Thirty-one pieces of the platinum silicone appliances in varying levels of plasticity were created to cover Rebecca Romijn. It took two artists seventy-eight hours, or two weeks, to create one set of appliances. Over fourteen full sets were assembled for Romjin and her stunt double. The application was accomplished utilizing a crew of five makeup artists. After the silicone pieces were applied, Romijn was moved into a spray booth and airbrushed with specially mixed paints. The look was then completed with the application of makeup to her eyes and lips. In the first two films, Romijn wore contact lenses, but in the third film her eyes were digitally enhanced. The entire application process took six hours.

—Robin Hatcher, Spectral Motion

For the Exhibition "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy"

The mannequin was assembled with car bondo, sprayed with primer, and painted with a blue base color. Her eyes were then hand-painted and finished with a clear coat epoxy. Platinum silicone appliances in varying levels of plasticity were engineered to be self sticking, intrinsically colored and multilayered. Thirty-one pieces were created and applied to the mannequin with Telesis. Next, the hair was laid and punched onto the head. The final detail work was then airbrushed on to blend the silicone pieces with the mannequin.

Do you mean these?:huh: The pics were posted some time ago and are courtesy of rositavisibleworld. They appear to be taken in the props department of X3 back in summer of 2005 when the movie started filming.

Who's the guy with his legs crossed?

I think it looks more like a girl .... looks like Rogue

[Retroman]

Were these posted already?

For the first time i'm noticing Capitol Hill in the background of the artwork. These must have been done before or shortly after Brett Ratner was hired. It was his decision to switch the finale from Washington DC to San Francisco.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

yeah, what an idiot right?

[the a1ant]

Having the finale in DC would've been amazing and very dramatic.

You'd think a Colossus vs. Juggernaut would've been obvious too. But with FOX at the helm, expect no more than the cheapest budget possible.

Sadly, I think they had a lot of money at their disposal, but I also think a lot of that money was used to compensate for the studio’s poor pre-production decisions regarding the film.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

i wish that they would release a statement about how much the budget was.

i know it was huge. they spent so much on tv spots and stuff. i swear there were like 12 of them.

It was probably for practical reason as much as anything else. He signed on with eight weeks before filming began and had to make decisions as to how he would make the release date.

Studios do not tend to release statements of their production budgets. And marketing is an entirely separate cost that is nothing to do with the production cost.

BoxOfficeMojo puts the X3 budget at $210m, while The Numbers puts it at $150m. Quite a disparity there. It's possible that the difference is the amount spent on Matthew Vaughn's pre-production work.

BoxOfficeMojo also incorrectly states the budget for Superman Returns as $270m when Singer stated it as $204m, as recorded by The Numbers. The $270m probably includes the cost of the previous aborted attempts at a Superman film before Singer was on board.

Well, given the $250m to $300m for Cameron's Avatar, I'm not sure that is true...

A Colossus v Juggernaut fight might have been nice but stuff has always been cut from the X-movies. Angel, Beast and Blob got cut from X1; Archangel, Sentinels and a Nightcrawler vs Toad climactic battle were cut from X2. With so many characters and so many big stars with big paychecks, something has to give....

I missed some cool pics here :)

Some new behind the scenes pics of the very talented scultptor/costume/creature designer Jose Fernandez working on Colossus's armor.

Wonder if Daniel got to keep the mask? I mean it's custom made for his face and all.

I interviewed Jose Fernandez once. Cool guy.

Really?That's great! He's worked on a lot of cool stuff over the years.:word:

[Nightmare]

Wow, awesome. Its too bad we didnt see more of Collosus. Ya know, I know its just wishfull thinkin on my part. But how cool would it be to make an X-4, then cover the whole sentinel future with mastermold? Half the xmen are already dead so it would kind of fit. Cable, Bishop, Apocalypse? Thats always been one of my favorite story lines. And Collosus would be part of the remaining xmen. :D

[Star]

I wouldn't want Fox touching that story with a ten foot pole

It must never have been a part of the script. If they wanted to make it a real event to begin with, they would've fought to get the money for it. :(

A friend sent me some of these pics too. I'll have to find them and add them here.

Whether it was or not, it was definitely planned at some point, as there is pre-production art showcasing such. There was that, Phoenix destroying San Fran [Whole city!] and Iceman ice sliding off the roof of Alcatraz instead of jumping down with Kitty.

[Retroman]

While those things would have been great to have in the film as eye candy the time and money required to add those sequences would have been too big. Remember the movie was already costing more than 200 million dollars with a very tight schedule.

IMO X3 would have been better served if it didn't have so many characters and storylines for a less than two hour long movie.:o
