Holy SNIKT Batman! Who should be the Director?

[PWN3R]

I know Ratner is interested, and he did say he would like to get Vinnie Jones in there with him.

I dunno, what to you guys think??

[deathshead2]

Me I shoud make it.:(

[WildCard]

Singer

[PWN3R]

I dunno, right after I made this, the name....Uwe Boll.....hit me.



Hmmmmm....:ghost:

[xwolverine2]

len wiseman would be ok.........(BUT NOT MY FIRST CHOICE!)

[TrailerMusic]

Ithe name....Uwe Boll.....hit me.


I hope this is a bad joke :o

[PWN3R]

I hope this is a bad joke :o

He has vision for films.

A vision no one else shares/cares for though. :)

A vision that should die. :)

The day Hugh Jackman anyone from FOX hires Uwe Boll = the day I completely loose faith in FOX & Hugh Jackman

[ComicKoryn]

Joel Schumacher all the way.

[PWN3R]

I doubt Len Wiseman would do it, since he just got Die Hard 4.

Hmmm, maybe, Kurt Wimmer? Ultravoilet wasn't his fault dang it! :(

[JustABill]

Singer.

The man has a clear passion for Wolverine. He should DEFINITELY be the director.

[combocaz]

edward zwick

[Cyclops]

In an ideal world? Tarantino. Imagine it. A Quentin Tarantino "Wolverine" movie. Or Robert Rodriguez, but he'd actually have to use sets.

[blind_fury]

Tony Scott (Man on Fire)

Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium)

OR

Doug Liman (Bourne Identity)

[Gilpesh]

Doug Liman (Bourne Identity)

Seconded. Bourne, Mr. and Mrs. Smith were awesome.

[xwolverine2]

I doubt Len Wiseman would do it, since he just got Die Hard 4.

****!......maybe he would decide not tod o that if they wave wolverine in his face

Doug Liman (Bourne Identity)
pretty good choice... but hes not so good for physical(hand to hand) action scenes.

A Quentin Tarantino "Wolverine" movie
he would be a dream choice. but hes already making his own movie "grindhouse" "inglorious bastards":(

johm moore- was a choice fox was considering for x3. and i love behind enemy lines:up:

wachowski bros- an obvious choice but after watching Vforvendetta(they might as well have directed it) i think they would be awesome.......but there making "speed racer"(:up: ):(

alex proyas-awesome director...and i think hes free!:eek:

[chaseter]

I want to see Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, Juggernaut, and Omega Red in Wolverine spinoff.

[TheVileOne]

Bryan Singer would be the easy choice.

[TNC9852002]

Tarantino? Wachowskis?

Here are some more likely candidates:

Peter Berg
Joe Johnston
Peter Weir
Edward Zwick
John Moore
David Twohy
Andrew Davis
Len Wiseman
Andrew Niccol
Brad Anderson
Doug Liman

-TNC

[TheVileOne]

I see absolutely no reason Singer can't do it.

[Nathan]

Has Singer ever done a dark gritty Movie before? I like his X-Men Movies, but I don't know if he'd be the right man for a Wolverine slash fest movie.

[TNC9852002]

I was thinking Bryan too at first, but I dunno...It kinda seems unfeasible for him to come back now...At least more feasible for Brett to return than Bryan. :( I dunno...It's hard to say right now...Both of them still have big projoects coming up..

I don't think it matters too much whether or not a director has done a dark gritty movie before. It's all about whether or not they have the capacity or talent to do it.

-TNC

[blind_fury]

I see absolutely no reason Singer can't do it.
He's doesn't "get" Wolverine.

He'll give us the candy ass, rated G version.

[blind_fury]

pretty good choice... but hes not so good for physical(hand to hand) action scenes.

Um dude, the Bourne Identity had awesome hand-to-hand combat fight scenes.

[Pauluz]

If they go with the origin story they need to hire the folks that worked on Carnivale. Great setting, mood and grainy.

Or maybe the guy from Training Day.

[_BB_]

In an ideal world? Tarantino. Imagine it. A Quentin Tarantino "Wolverine" movie. Or Robert Rodriguez, but he'd actually have to use sets.

Tarantino? If only...imagine that being wolverine instead of uma thurman at the battle of O-Ren in Kill Bill 1 :eek:

Singer i suppose would be okay but hes not good with directing action scenes, maybe superman will change my opinion on that, if he pulls that off then id be more than happy with him, he hasnt wrote the script remember, Benioff has so we will be seeing the real wolverine rather than the watered down version that singer helped create.

Danny Boyle or Doug Liman could be interesting choices...

[XCharlieX]

Quentin Tarantino i wouldnt like. He tends to step outside of the movie by being stylishly formulaic and wink at the audience too much.

[Turd McFurden]

I don't about directing but Damon Lindellof should give some input to this movie, I am digging his Ultimate Wolverine/Hulk stuff.

[Retroman]

He's doesn't "get" Wolverine.

He'll give us the candy ass, rated G version.
:confused: Singer doesn't get Wolverine?

*laughs*

[blind_fury]

That's why Singer cast a 6-foot, good-looking young guy to play Wolverine. Because he gets the character.[/sarcasm]

*laughs*

[Retroman]

^^Yeah, so? He doesn't have to be EXACTLY like the comics. Everything about the character was nailed in my opnion.

[PWN3R]

Give me some options for a poll, and I'll get a mod to add one to this thread.

1. Quentin Tarantino

doug liman is making the third bourne supremacy so NO.

brad anderson better not touch wolverine

andrew nicol has never directed anything!

len wiseman is an awesome choice if he decides to scrap die hard 4

andrew davis.....HELLNO!!

david twohy better not touch wolverine

john moore I WISH he would direct it!

edward zwick has never directed anything!

peter weir hes a meh director with no style...and yes i loved fearless

Joe Johnston this guy is a great director...but he made family movies and hes not good with action

Peter Berg hes a meh director...but he can handle action(the rundown) but no style, besides hes already attached to several movies

[xwolverine2]

len wiseman and john moore MUST be there

and scratch off QT hes taken

[TheVileOne]

He's doesn't "get" Wolverine.

He'll give us the candy ass, rated G version.

:rolleyes:

He seemed to get him fine in the movies.

[antariksh]

Tarantino will be my choice or Robert rodriguez.

Robert won't do it. He is focusing on Sin city 2. He is NOT a traitor like Bryan singer so he will not ditch Sin city 2 for wolverine.

If NOT get the guy who did Mr. and Ms. Smith.

If neither then Brett Ratner.

[Flame on!]

Ther Coens.

[BT18]

I see absolutely no reason Singer can't do it.

As usual you fail to see the obvious. How about

The Mayor of Castro Street (which he's still attatched to direct and many have been pushing for to finally get made

Logan's Run re-adaptation (which he may direct still and at minimum produce)

Superman Returns Sequel (which the WB has a very big chance of pushing to be started on immediately following and depending on SR's reception)

House (which he continues to produce)

You Want Me to Kill Him? a second independant film he's still attatched to direct

[BT18]

David Dobkin is said to be interested in directing Wolverine, as was rumored anyway a few months back.

He's supposedly a huge fan of Wolvy. I'd certainly be interested in him doing it. He's a clever, out-of-the-box director and can attract out-of-genre talent. He's shown he can handle bigger budget/action in addition to getting great performances out of actors.

[CapBeerCino]

I see absolutely no reason Singer can't do it.

I bet Fox can see a reason or two.

[PWN3R]

Is that all the names? I am going to do a poll...

[chaseter]

Wachoskis.

[PWN3R]

I hope I got all the names you guys gave. Poll is up....

[Cyclops]

Bryan Singer "Got" Wolverine better than Ratner did. Singer never had Wolverine break down on his knees and cry like a girl.

Your poll forgot Quentin.

[BT18]

Bryan Singer "Got" Wolverine better than Ratner did. Singer never had Wolverine break down on his knees and cry like a girl.

Your poll forgot Quentin.

Ratner didn't write X-Men 3. He didn't cast Wolverine. And anybody who seriously entertains the notion Tarantino is going to break his proclamation of never doing a comic book movie to take on what essentially is the 4th part in a franchise that couldn't have gotten more development and studio setbacks AND unwarrented fanboy bull***** the last time out, when those are his basic reasons for said proclamation, is a frigging moron.

excuse the run-on there.

[TheVileOne]

I bet Fox can see a reason or two.

Those reasons are petty, foolish, and stupid. And they make them lose money. See AVP to see how badly you can mismanage and screw up a franchise.

[Syncos]

I want to see Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, Juggernaut, and Omega Red in Wolverine spinoff.

I'd like to see all of Weapon X, and Alpha Flight, personally. We don't need Juggs in a Wolverine Spinoff. He's not a Wolvie Centric villian. Omega Red is, but i'd rather them keep him out of this. I'd like to see the story from origin, with his history with Deathstrike, and Weapon X. and then him ending up with Alpha Flight, etc.

[PWN3R]

I didn't put Quentin up because he isn't available.

[TNC9852002]

Oh crap....I forgot about Antoine Fuqua..

-TNC

[hutch007]

has anyone thought about DAVID FINCH. that would be a dark wolverine movie.

[Drago]

I know Ratner is interested, and he did say he would like to get Vinnie Jones in there with him.

I dunno, what to you guys think??

Did Ratner say he wanted to direct this or "Young X-Men"/X4?

And I have to say no to Singer. While the mansion raid was pretty well done, I don't see him upping the intensity any more than that. Plus, Wolverine's solo film has a lot of material to cover, and I don't know if I can see Singer covering a lot of stuff like that in a single film, since he likes to draw things out to get everything he can from the drama. Plus, Singer can't handle the action... not up close fist fights at least.

Who suggested Joe Johnston? While I like a lot of his films, JP3 is one of those career ending decisions I think... he seems very PG to me too

[Drago]

has anyone thought about DAVID FINCH. that would be a dark wolverine movie.

mm.. him and Antoine Fuqua are both good suggestions.

I went with Danny Boyle... 28 Days Later is another one of my favorite films, and if he can apply half of the social themes/statements regarding violence and repressed rage that he did in 28 Days Later, "Wolverine" will be spot on.

[Boba_Fett_123]

Fincher won't work with FOX, not after ALIEN 3.

[xwolverine2]

some of the names in the poll are retarded....like brad anderson.

even uwe boll serves a better purpose on that poll

YOU LEFT ALEX PROYAS OUT OF IT!

the beggining fight of king arthur was awesome.

I was just talking about Arthur, I do not know any of his other work. Sorry I didn't add him, didn't even cross my mind.

I remember reading in March I think, that Alexandre Aja really wanted to direct Wolverine.....:( :down

tarintino, nolan, ratner, woo, singer, my dream picks in order

[PWN3R]

tarintino, nolan, ratner, woo, singer, my dream picks in order

Tarantino won't do it, plus he isn't available.

Nolan isn't either, BB2 and whatnot.

Ratner he already said he'd want to do it, so I dunno.

Singer has stuff lined up, but I wouldnt mind him.

Woo is busy with He-Man and Spy Hunter...:eek:

[xwolverine2]

i hate woo... for wolverine that is.

what about the guy that directed HOSTAGE?...that was good

[Cyclops]

Ratner didn't write X-Men 3. He didn't cast Wolverine.

excuse the run-on there.

On a poll of who SHOULD be the director, I.E. a fantasy poll with no inflections on real life, and you're calling people "frigging moron"s for saying who they want to see direct a Wolverine movie? :rolleyes:

[xwolverine2]

too bad james cameron takes 20 years to make one dam movie...

[logansoldcigar]

proyas wouldnt work with fox again either

[XCharlieX]

too bad james cameron takes 20 years to make one dam movie...

LOL he retired sorta seems to me. He was busy with IMAX stuf and now hes heading back to the movies again i hear.

Cameron was one of the candidates to make x men back in early 90s btw.

[BT18]

I didn't call you a moron, unless you fit the criteria I outlined.

[DonnyLebeau]

Christopher Nolan...


if you want an in depth look at Wolvie's military training and martial arts in Japan otherwise known as a backstory.


After Ratner's disaster, he shouldn't be able to direct a soft core porno

[phoenix_force]

Ratner!

[Dark Night II]

Darren Aronofsky, he said he loved working with Jackmen on the fountain and that he can't imagine working with anyone else now. Also, he was gonna direct Batman Year One and Watchmen so he has experience with other comic book movies. Maybe we should wait until the Fountain comes out, but Ithink he would be great.

[TimDrake64x]

Ridley Scott would be perfect. he directed kingdom of heaven, matchstick men, black hawk down, hannibal, gladitaor, blade runner, and alien.

[PWN3R]

Nolan can't do it, BB2 is his thing right now.

Ridley Scott, hmm, whats he up to right now??

[chaseter]

I like Bryan Singer and all but not for Wolverine. I say give the Wachoskis a "stab" at it. I loved the Matrix movies and V for Vendetta was great.

[Wolverini]

James Cameron? The guys who did the Matrix? Jonathan Mostow?

Cameron would be good cause he doesnt give a flying feck about what studios think of the rating :)

George Lucas for the win!

[chaseter]

No Lucas please...he is good and I love Star Wars but he would throw it waaaaay over the top:)

[Wolverini]

True , we'd get a CGI Wolverine ;)

[chaseter]

No Bryan Singer please. Wolverine can not be reserved in the character department. As for the Wachoskis...I say go for it. V for Vendetta had a great story and great action. The Matrix movies had mind blowing action sequences and I loved every minute. With their history of fight choreography sequences and action...time in Japan training or on the battle field would be amazing to see on screen. I think the Wachoskis would do Omega Red perfectly as well as Wolverine.

[Wolverini]

I agree. They could let it turn out to be one hell of a movie.

As much as I liked Matrix 1 and 2 ... I seriously HATED Matrix Revolutions for ending so abrubtly.

"You were right Smith" bam boom. Neo gets taken over and voila , end of the Matrix. He should've LIVED damnit!

[chaseter]

I agree. They could let it turn out to be one hell of a movie.

"You were right Smith" bam boom. Neo gets taken over and voila , end of the Matrix. He should've LIVED damnit!
Yea I didn't like Revolutions at all. They spent all and all about 20 mins in the Matrix:mad: I think Revolutions was so hashed together because they shot 2 and 3 at the same time. Had they shot Revolutions about a year or 2 later, it would have been better IMO.

[Wolverini]

Indeed , but this is the last thing im gonna say regarding MY ending of Revolutions.

Neo should've edited Smiths codes. In 1 and 2 they showed Neo being able to change codes and let the Matrix do his bidding. In 3 they should've showed him editing Smith after a long and tiresome fight. But instead the went the crappy way and went with the Jesus Christ version.

"There can be no good ... without evil"
and vice versa ofcourse.


Anyway , back on topic. If they need a director I wouldnt mind Ratner doing this one. Not with FOX or whatever. Just give him ENOUGH money and DECENT script writers and we might get a cool movie instead of the rushed X3

[PWN3R]

Did they ever annouce the writer(s) for this yet??

[Wolverini]

I think its too early for that PWN3R

[Retroman]

:confused: David Benioff has been working on the script since 2004.

[PWN3R]

Yeah I remember that name, plus Hugh said the script was coming along nicely.

I stop listening to Wolverini long ago. :(

[Retroman]

On the Wachowskis - I couldn't see happening cause they want too much creative control - Writing, directing, producing. I can't see Fox doing that.

[PWN3R]

Kurt Wimmer is my choice.


Equilibrium is one of my fav movies.

[Retroman]

I loved that movie too. Wimmer wouldn't be a bad choice.

[kakashi]

Wimmer would be a wrong choice. His one trademark as a director is the stylised action scenes, which is exactly what you shouldn't have in a Wolverine movie in my opinion.

My personal choices for the director:

Guillermo Del torro--- too bad he's currently tied up with Hellboy

len Wiseman

Michael Rhymer (battlestar Galactica mini )

[Rac]

Eli Roth. :p He'd definetely make it gory.

There's really good choices on that list; Singer, Wiseman, Wimmer, Twohy, Weir, Boyle and Niccol. But in the end I really don't know who'd be perfect. Tarantino could make it interesting. Whedon understood who Logan is in AXM so why not in the movie too. Peter Jackson would be very good choice also. James McTeigue likes blood too. Rodriguez would hopefully make it another Sin City. (Though I would more like to him and Miller make Elektra or Elektra 2.) Burton would make it dark. Francis Lawrence would be a interesting too. Theres so many!

EDIT: Wimmer could invent "claw-kata". ;P

[xwolverine2]

LOL he retired sorta seems to me. He was busy with IMAX stuf and now hes heading back to the movies again i hear.

Cameron was one of the candidates to make x men back in early 90s btw.
i hate him for wasting his career and life on titanic!!!!:o :down

proyas wouldnt work with fox again either
and why the hell not?!?!?!:confused: :o :confused:

i wish fox would just hand it over to the wachowskys after their done with speedracer.............EVERYTHING they touch is gold!... V for vendetta was a ****ing masterpiece!!

[xwolverine2]

Wimmer could invent "claw-kata". ;P
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eli roth sucks on so many levels:down :down :down :down :down

Umm, what? El Espinazo del Diablo was maybe orange 'cause there were the desert, but Blade II, Mimic and Hellboy (haven't seen Cronos)? Well, Hellboy did have orangish tint in it sometimes.

lol that "waste" got him Oscars up the wazzoo sir ;) so he pleased the right people with that one. After that, He shouldve made his own company like George Lucas and made his own films. Id be a happy man today.

[Cyclops]

Yeah, because we all know how non-crappy the hordes and hordes of CGI characters in the prequels were, like that non-crappy Jar Jar Binks, or the non-crappy Watto, or that totally awesome Bartender from episode two...

yay oscars!.... i dont care. then he dedicated the rest o his life to the titanic like he fell in love with that trash ship...then made Abyss(no oscar there)...the he hibernated into an imax theater.............then disapeared:confused: .......and now battle angel after a million years!:o
i wish he would start working faster!...:mad:

hellboy was **** cgi characters IMO...

[XCharlieX]

yay oscars!

Indeed. :up:

I voted for Singer becuase I don't know crap about directors and he did a good job with X1 and 2. :D

well usually people who REALLY dont know crap about directors would say speilberg.......

so your not that director dumb:up: :D :D :p :p

[Advanced Dark]

My top choice is John McTiernan if he could bring back the magic of Hunt for Red October, Predator, and Die Hard into this film. Other choices would be Fincher, and yes Ratner. Ratner did good with Red Dragon which is a suitable tone for this film.

[Cyclops]

i was talking about episode 3....

hellboy was **** cgi characters IMO...

But there were no wholly CGI-characters in that movie. :confused: There was one wholly-CGI monster, but that doesn't really count.

[GL's Light]

Fincher won't work with FOX, not after ALIEN 3.
Fincher has worked with Fox since Alien 3 - Fight Club was a Fox production.

My # 1 choice is Tony Scott. Fincher would be great, too.

[JokerNick]

two words

Uwe Boll

[Advanced Dark]

^ Yeah and X3 is gonna make less than X2 on opening weekend too Joker. What were all those names you called me for saying it would make 100 million in 4 days? Still can't respond huh? Speechless.

[Logan Howlett]

I'd like to see someone who can pull off a hardcore, dark, animalistic, yet humanly tempered version of Wolverine. I think Singer doesn't have the edge for it, I think he's more about the goody two shoes aspect of Superheroes as where Ratner even made Xavier seem like a ballbuster. I think Ratner could pull it off if he realy tried. I wana see almost a Tarintino edge to the film, especialy where Sabretooth is concerned!

[JokerNick]

You think Ratner does, what has he done that makes you think this, he makes fastly edited, poorly written, unemotonal films.......... Singer would do a much better job at this then Ratner........... plus, ratner would probably cast Lindsey Lohan in some role if he got his hands on it

[Logan Howlett]

Omg, I smell an angry cyclops fan lashing out at Ratner.....*snif*

[JokerNick]

Omg, I smell an angry cyclops fan lashing out at Ratner.....*snif*

not realy, I respect the character, but I understand why the did what they did, but they did it all wrong, cykes death should have had an emotional impact on Jean during the movie, it really didn't but that's not what I'm talking about, Ratner is not a good director, listen to any proffesonial critic or anyone who has been to film school, the guy is nothing more then a music video director, he doesn't have the skills or know how on how to put together an engagign film, x3, was badly edited, and carried no emotional wieght, you can't deny that.........

Um.......how about....having her so overweihlmed with guilt that she can't bring herself to stop the Pheonix personality from lashing out....or....how about begging Logan to "Kill me before I kill someone else" while streaming tears down her face? Hmm? Oh I'm sorry I guess that didn't count. Ok moving right along,

The only problem with the film was all of the crap that occured, and decisiions that were made, BEFORE Ratner got a hold of the film. The script had practicaly been writen, changed twice, and jam packed full of characters that he had no choice but to work with. Given the circumstance I say he pulled it off amazingly! And I HAVE listened to the film critics, the majority of the have clamed it to be an "Amazing" "Spectacular" or "Triumphant" film! So don't go thrashing Ratner when managed to give X3 an amazing broad aproach that Singer could have never pulled off with his contained style of directing.

And I HAVE listened to the film critics, the majority of the have clamed it to be an "Amazing" "Spectacular" or "Triumphant" film! So don't go thrashing Ratner when managed to gibe X3 an amazing broad aproach that Singer could have never pulled off with his contained style of directing.

yeah, and that was all BAD.... you have no idea what directing is, what crtiics??? Ebert??? Reopert??? lol. the same guys who gave two thumbs up to the new Omen film, give me a break, go watch your Rush Hour films, you have no idea what a good, heck probably what a decent film is...... honeslty, it's people like you who are killing cinema today.........

Anyone who votes for Uwe Boll has sick twisted humor. :D:up:

I am surprised no one voted for Peter Berg. Rundown was awesome, he'd do great on Wolverine IMO.

The bar scene with the midget running through, that was all Peter Berg.

AAAAAAW....got it. It'll be as if by some divine force he vanished from the face of the thread.

unlike dumb ****s on these threads, Cough Advanced dark cough, who take this stupid movie stuff way too serouisly , I voted for Uwe because I feel bad for him, people want to kill him.......... don't yell at me for voting, I wasn't the one who put him on the list

^ so who waxs whos ass first...........

[Advanced Dark]

Olcan, Did you hear something? Must have been the wind? Smells though kind of. Did you fart?

[Brian2887]

I dunno if it's been suggested, but Joe Carnahan would be the man for the job. Watch the movie "Narc." He's got a great, gritty style that could really ground the character.

[Logan Howlett]

Olcan, Did you hear something? Must have been the wind? Smells though kind of. Did you fart?


No man, thats much to rank to be mine........maybe the Hype was built next to a sewage treatment plant? Yea, that must be it....

[Dark Knight]

I think David Fincher would be a good choice or maybe even Robert Rodriguez??

[Dark Knight]

I dunno if it's been suggested, but Joe Carnahan would be the man for the job. Watch the movie "Narc." He's got a great, gritty style that could really ground the character.


Joe Carnahan is another good choice. He was supposed to direct MI:3 but was tired of Cruises' overbearing nature.

you feel bad for him?!:eek:

i feel bad for you:o :down

[Dark Knight]

i think Edward Zwick would be a solid choice as well....

[xwolverine2]

what about that guy that directs or whatever that metal gear solid thingy...

hideo kojima or something like that

[Cuomo]

Darren Aronofsky, he said he loved working with Jackmen on the fountain and that he can't imagine working with anyone else now. Also, he was gonna direct Batman Year One and Watchmen so he has experience with other comic book movies. Maybe we should wait until the Fountain comes out, but I think he would be great.

Wow I guess we're the only ones on that same page. I guess mst of us want a dark and edgy Wolverine film and there's no one better at delivering a film like that than mr. Aronofsky (Pi, The Fountain, Requiem for a dream). But according to his profile on imdb.com his hands seem to be a bit full for the moment :/

Other choices that would do:

Christopher Nolan
David Fincher
... maybe Wachowsky bros.
hmm Todd Solondz ? (maybe to indie)

[Logan Howlett]

what about that guy that directs or whatever that metal gear solid thingy...

hideo kojima or something like that

Now THAT would be an awesome idea!

[xwolverine2]

Now THAT would be an awesome idea!
indeed.............TOO BAD hes directing the metal gear solid movie(thats a good thing too:( )

oh well:( :(

[Logan Howlett]

Wait what.........what?.......they are actualy making a MG movie?.........oh god.......oh god.......*faints......revives self* Tell me how you know, give me proof, I WANT PROOF!

[ObakeTora]

Me I shoud make it.:(

what would the look and feel be like? Terminator 2? Predator? The fugitive?

[undomiel]

Singer.

The man has a clear passion for Wolverine. He should DEFINITELY be the director.

Yes, yes! I totally agree. Oh please, FOX, please give us back Bryan Singer!

[Dark Knight]

Aronofsky would be an interesting choice as well.

Hmm..

Fincher
Aronofsky or
Carnahan

are my picks...

[chaseter]

Yes, yes! I totally agree. Oh please, FOX, please give us back Bryan Singer!
No...we do need a story but a Wolverine movie will need a lot of action and a lot of violence. Singer sets up stories...this movie will most likely be the one and only. I highly doubt there will be a sequel to his solo movie. Singer meanders along...we need a director that can give us mind blowing Wolverine hack and slash while showing his tormented side. Anways...it is the writers that we would need to be talking about first. We need a far better writer than a director at this point.

My picks are in order:
Wachowskis
Nolan
Ratner

[Rac]

Wait what.........what?.......they are actualy making a MG movie?.........oh god.......oh god.......*faints......revives self* Tell me how you know, give me proof, I WANT PROOF!
It was announced at E3. Old news. Just google it.

[Logan Howlett]

It was announced at E3. Old news. Just google it.


OMG! *faints*

[Malone]

I think that Bryan Singer would do a good job. Hugh Jackman is starring in the movie, and we've already seen what he's like as Wolverine, why not see what Singer could do?

[Logan Howlett]

Because singer is to contained, and he's more about the boy scout aspect of Superheroes, we need someone who can show a tormented, war torn, animalistic fury, of a man that has had all of his memories wiped clean, yet still suffers at the hands of those that did it.

exactly...

i want want blood.... not tears

[Kmack]

I want Singer damnit.

[MrSelfDestruct]

Quentin Effing Tarantino, or Mel Gibson. Honestly. Braveheart was the ****, and TPOTC was effing brutal and brilliantly shot.

[chaseter]

^Please no Tarantino for Wolverine. It would be ridiculously over the top. That said, I love Kill Bill. Gibson would be ok though...the Passion was a beautiful film but I don't think Gibson is right for this job. He likes a passionate story overpowering anything else.

[Logan Howlett]

Yea but he respects action, look at his movie rolls, and look at what he did with Braveheart, hell even the Passion was brutaly visual! I think he could OWN that film!

[Dark Knight]

Gibson would be a very intriguing choice I will yell you that. Many years ago fans wanted Gibson to be Wolverine becuase of his passion and intensity. If he directed a Wolverine film....it would an epic thats for sure. Can Marvel and the egomaniac Avi Arad give Gibson total control? They would be dumb not too....

[pt_photo_inc]

I know Ratner is interested, and he did say he would like to get Vinnie Jones in there with him.

I dunno, what to you guys think??

for the last time... ratner is shumacher, they are one on each other. ratners xmen are praised in money alone... that being "good day picking and huge marketing" and nothing with directing. RATNER CAN SUCK IT!

Singers flash backs of naked wolverine and the blood and claws= awesome

but i would love to see Peter jackson just for his respect of "LEGENDS" but that is a far shot at best... but like my sig has said since i joined.........


WAYNE KRAMER (running scared) if someone on here would watch something other then buffy and toyko drift you would know that there are such things as great "non-mainstream" directors. And he is one of them. His usage of lights and colors are truely artistic and visionary. Almost gritty! which is perfect!

[pt_photo_inc]

Has Singer ever done a dark gritty Movie before? I like his X-Men Movies, but I don't know if he'd be the right man for a Wolverine slash fest movie.


i am guessing usual suspects and the flash back of wolverines escape from weapon x was gritty enough?

but if you want grit.... put a vote down for LEN WISEMAN, cause underworld evolution was brillantly shot! it has actually convinced my girl that he should be given the "GARGOYLES" live action film! tarentino is great for grit but he should not direct a movie he doesnt write. wayne kramer is ideal. an up and coming with a great eye for capture!

[pt_photo_inc]

No...we do need a story but a Wolverine movie will need a lot of action and a lot of violence. Singer sets up stories...this movie will most likely be the one and only. I highly doubt there will be a sequel to his solo movie. Singer meanders along...we need a director that can give us mind blowing Wolverine hack and slash while showing his tormented side. Anways...it is the writers that we would need to be talking about first. We need a far better writer than a director at this point.

My picks are in order:
Wachowskis
Nolan
Ratner

you almost had me until you picked the the MATRIX **** UPS FOR YOUR FIRST PICK! come on man... we know betten then that... do you really want "W" for WOLVERINE, the movie? That was a good movie on its own... but we dont need wolvie to be a fantasy web boy wet dream. he needs to feel "animalistic, crazy, gritty, angry, then suddenly... forgets how much of a dick he is, takes vengence on his own people. I mean there are many elements here that need to be placed into a very "REAL" character. Which is what singer is good at. Example: the MANSION scenes and the weapon x flash backs. BUT, you may be right about him taking to much time. There needs to be a green light for a "R" rated movie. Remember that. Basically i am seeing a "MAN ON FIRE" approach. That was real. That was personal. That was gritty. Or even a, like i have said many of times "RUNNING SCARED" or even a "LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN" it is just sooo hard to share that idea with people that havent seen anything outside of **** like X3!

[pt_photo_inc]

Um.......how about....having her so overweihlmed with guilt that she can't bring herself to stop the Pheonix personality from lashing out....or....how about begging Logan to "Kill me before I kill someone else" while streaming tears down her face? Hmm? Oh I'm sorry I guess that didn't count. Ok moving right along,

The only problem with the film was all of the crap that occured, and decisiions that were made, BEFORE Ratner got a hold of the film. The script had practicaly been writen, changed twice, and jam packed full of characters that he had no choice but to work with. Given the circumstance I say he pulled it off amazingly! And I HAVE listened to the film critics, the majority of the have clamed it to be an "Amazing" "Spectacular" or "Triumphant" film! So don't go thrashing Ratner when managed to give X3 an amazing broad aproach that Singer could have never pulled off with his contained style of directing.


this is sooo ****ing laughable. it is NOT CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED! The critically acclaimed X3 is at http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/x_men_3_the_last_stand/




50%


critically acclaimed is like the this

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/superman_returns/?show=all

92% a singer film....

also the singer xmen films scored higher as well. they also got better reviews from the critiques in general. They also had an explanation in them for why **** was happening. Not kill cyclops off screen and dont talk about it until the end of the movie... not angel flies in from no where to save his dad then leaves and no scene of "resolution" between him and his father.

i am just not going into this. X3 was a fan boy movie. made with such piles of ****, the only way people liked it is when they sub-out well thought plot and story for fan boy tributes like
"awww a sentinel"!!!!!!!
"I am the juggernaut *****!"
look its angel
now beast
ohhhhh... pylocke

this whole movie was made to play on the weak minded that did require anything but an "ACTION MOVIE NEVER MEANT TO BE TAKEN TOOOO SERIOUSLY!" singer had more respect than that.

[pt_photo_inc]

^ Yeah and X3 is gonna make less than X2 on opening weekend too Joker. What were all those names you called me for saying it would make 100 million in 4 days? Still can't respond huh? Speechless.

omg! did fox know how to release a block buster on memorial day? and put 60million into marketing? including the NBA FINALS??? Did they do that at cost of pushing and rushing the movie and trying to get it all done in 10 months? are they doing the exact same thing now with F4 2 even though they dont even have a finished and excepted script yet? OMG! what a great point you make! this proves that ratner is better then singer! cause it is all about the box office! OMG did ratners version take a 68% drop second weekend making it on the top ten list of movies that have had HUGE SECOND WEEK DROPS?

[pt_photo_inc]

Fincher has worked with Fox since Alien 3 - Fight Club was a Fox production.

My # 1 choice is Tony Scott. Fincher would be great, too.

tony did man on fire as well right? cause if so... i am there with you

[pt_photo_inc]

Gibson would be a very intriguing choice I will yell you that. Many years ago fans wanted Gibson to be Wolverine becuase of his passion and intensity.

very intriguing insight

[pt_photo_inc]

exactly...

dont ask for that at the cost of good movie scripting. we have plenty of movies that tried to be "slashers" with out trying to be good. Can you say "PUNISHER"?

[GL's Light]

tony did man on fire as well right? cause if so... i am there with you
Yeah, Tony Scott directed Man on Fire - love that film. A Wolverine film done in a style somewhat similar to Man on Fire would rock the house.

[Obsidian]

Tony Scott's visual style gets worse as he progresses to his next film (i.e. Domino and Man on Fire), so I don't want him. I prefer his brother.

What is your problem:confused: Chill. Secondly, how can the Wachowskis **** up the Matrix movies when they were they only ones who made it??? That is your personal opinion on how you see fit the Matrix trilogy. Sorry but I don't want a movie like Slevin, or a Running Scared from Wolverine movie(pun intended). Slevin and Running Scared bombed at the box office for a reason. Man on Fire had a great story but the camera tricks and the fuzzy lense sequences make me mad. I think the Wachowskis tell a great story and can come up with some great fight sequences. V for Vendetta IMO was a great movie and had a perfect balance of story and action. All the scenes in V and Matrix 1&2 were beautifully crafted IMO. The special effects companies they use are also really good and I would like to see how they might be able to handle Omega Red.
You do have a good point about Tony Scott...he delivers a very good, nitty gritty story.

first off i was never upset... so i dont know how to chill. second off matrix 2 and 3 sucked and everyone knew the sucked. third off slevin is one of this years best movies i have seen and many people agree. They didnt "bomb" for a reason, well a reason outside of that good movies (like ones showing at the angelika) never do well. you need a truely **** movie like "BRING IT", "YOU GOT SERVED", "FAST AND THE FURIOUS" and "X3" to make real money cause it is a POP CORN HYPE. which is why there is a ****e load of people on her *****ing about X3. so why not focus on a good movie, and not a money making movie. just for once. and with the hype of Wolverine... damn it you might actually get both.

I agree. X3 was rushed and it shows in many scenes. It wasn't a horrible movie but you can tell...it wasn't as good as it truely could have been?

Rogues character has been wasted.....why was Angel even in the film in the first place?? Why was Nightcrawler left out??? Was Colossaus even in this film???? This movie stunk of you know who...Avi freakin Arad! Rushed out just to make money.....again....Arad sucks....

Exactly. I hope Hugh Jackman (whos is producing) doesn't let Arad or Fox ruin the Wolverine solo film.....if they interfere and cause for the story and direction to be ruined....he should walk and not deal with them. I hope Hugh can bring in a solid director....like a Fincher or an up and comer like Carnahan. Aronofksy would be good as well.

Every major ******* movie studio in America wants to turn a profit. No studio makes a movie just to make a quality movie. Sorry but Slevin and Running Scared didn't do good for one reason...they sucked. It is your opinion that Slevin is one of the best movies of the year and that you think Matrix 2 & 3 sucked. Well everyone I know said that Matrix 2 was the best of the trilogy by far and Running Scared and Slevin was stupid. Josh Hartnett is a piece of **** actor that should never be on the big screen. Guess what else...X1, X2, and X3 are all "popcorn" films. You go to see the mutants showcase their talents. And last time I checked...more people liked X3 on here than those who didn't...and the World seems to agree with it pushing 400 billion worldwide. Wolverine will be another action popcorn flick. No one wants a tender hearted love story tearing at our heart strings while we hug our girlfriends and sniffle away. They want Wolverine tearing the **** out of bad guys with blood everywhere.

so in your mind slevin and running scared, or capote, or all those movies that "ARE" truely good, are good be cause they are "tender hearted love story tearing at our heart strings while we hug our girlfriends and sniffle away", come on dude. stop looking stupid. You once quoted me a few times for my insight into movies and now you stand on the very opposite side and promote **** over story... quantity over quality. and you can make a POP HYPE movie if you want to "TURN YOUR 400 MILLION PROFIT" and in the mean time be sooo ****ing insulted on websites that you cant even reply for the piece of crap you made. IE. X3 writers running from anwsering questions at thexuniverse.com It is kind of like shaquille o'neal on game 2 of the finals. Sure... he is shaq, he brings in the money and then tickets... people go to see him... that is what every investor wants... but sometimes... just sometimes, we just have to say "seeing him play all four quarters and only scoring 5 pts in the WHOLE GAME, just isnt what we want." Sure i am glad X3 made money. But not that it blew my cock ten days from opening night. That there was NO even attempt to be a good movie. Just to throw elements into a movie that the average ticket buyer would like.

For instance, most people on here probabally hate bush. But he was re-elected. My point is just because you can convince the masses doesnt make the masses anything more then a huge group of ****ing simple minded idiots. And i say all this with out any raised voice. so we can shoot down the "chill" comments now. I just saw "Three Burials", what a great movie. Didnt do well in the box office. but didnt spend much money either. So over all it was a success, and it was nominated. So it walks away with pride. Boondock Saints was never even released in theaters. By all accounts it bombed. According to your measuring cup. But man that is a classic, and great movie. Million Dollar Hotel has probabally never even been heard about from most of the members of this site... but it sits on top of my "greatest hits" in my collection. "OLDBOY" did horrible in america... but CHAN WOOK PARK is one of my favorite directors and it remains an amazing story of vengence, with one of the longest, best, choerographed "Un cut/ no breaks" fight scenes i have EVER SCENE... but by your standards this movies all sucked??????? Cause your box office didnt welcome them? Who do you hang out with? 12 year olds? People that would say SLEVIN sucked? HAHAHA.... whatever dude.

I was in blockbuster tonight and i was like "Am i going to like 16 blocks?" to this chic... and she was like "Just get running scared! that is a ****ing movie!" and i was like "bought it the day it came out!" I dont know who you hang out around but i am guessing they would praise any movie that awwwed you a bit. But that is where i am saying I choose a GLADIATOR over a MATRIX 2, or a BRAVEHEART over an X3, or an OLD BOY over a FAST AND THE FURIOUS. I dont care what you think is going to win at the box office if you are talking about ****ing with my favorite characters we had that already. Ratner did the stupidest **** to our favorite characters... i mean seriously. And he didnt even try to make it work. he just did it. Here is angel, now he is gone, now he catches his dad... now he is gone? ALL RATNER HAD TO DO IS A SCENE TO SHOW CLOSURE WITH ANGEL AND FATHER AND THAT SCENE WOULD HAVE BEEN VALIDATED. Then you have rogue... cure no cure... wait "no cure"????? Oh yeah, she didnt even struggle with the idea. But all that had to be done there, HAVE ROGUE IN LINE, SHOW PROTESTORS. SHOW ROGUE WANTING TO RUN BUT SOMETHING IS KEEPING HER THERE. JUST A DESIRE FOR NORMALCY. THEN SHOW A VERY MUTATED UGLY LITTLE GIRL WITH A SIGN THAT READS "MUTATION IS NOT A DESEASE", ROGUE STARTS TO CRY... BUT STAYS.

I mean come on! are you really blind to these small little "GOOSHY SCENES" that lock the action? Are you the kind of ******* that is like "HELL YEAH" when gladiator is fighting but when he is dead and on his way back to the family you are all like "**** this... this part sucks! boooooo!" cause if so... i have nothing to discuss with you. I can not hold a conversation with a pop culture tool. not saying you are one... unless you fit into that category.

[pt_photo_inc]

next i am going to hear you say that you want joel shumacer or PITOF to do this movie... and yes pitof is CATWOMAN director. would you have praised that movie if it made 200 million?

[chaseter]

so in your mind slevin and running scared, or capote, or all those movies that "ARE" truely good, are good be cause they are "tender hearted love story tearing at our heart strings while we hug our girlfriends and sniffle away", come on dude. stop looking stupid.

Capote won Oscars...what do Slevin and Running Scared have to show...NOTHING. I am sorry but your argument is flawed because you have nothing to back up that Slevin and Running Scared were great movies except for you and your friends personal thoughts on the matter. Movie reviewers loved Capote and it won awards but didn't reach much of America. Slevin and RS didn't reach Americans and didn't win any awards...they were both flops. I am not going argue with you any more because you are grasping at straws and I would rather not argue just for the sake of an argument.

[MrSelfDestruct]

Mel Gibson Mel Melmelmel! ****ing Mel Gibson!

[xwolverine2]

dont ask for that at the cost of good movie scripting. we have plenty of movies that tried to be "slashers" with out trying to be good. Can you say "PUNISHER"?

Tarantino is washed up. He peaked with Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill was a freaking slapstick joke. There's only so much witty dialogue one can take and then covering up the fact that he ran out of ideas with ridiculous poorly choerographed fight scenes doens't help. Why Kill Bill got raves is beyond me. I enjoyed the Punisher more. Hell I'd rather watch Death Hunt.

[xwolverine2]

kurt wimmer...:)

^
he needs to stay away from sony

[neemer5]

Anyone that knows anything about Tarintino would know that he would never do the film, and if he did, it would be a mistake.
Tarantino has such a well defined style, that all of his films take a backseat to that style. In other words, it wouldn't be a "Wolverine" film so much as it would be a "Tarantino" film, if that makes sense. Personally, as great of a director QT is (he's probably my favorite), he can't attach himself to a story like this, as either he or the story would make far too many compromises.
My #1 would definitely be Paul Greengrass. I loved what he did with Bourne Supremacy and United 93. My second choice would be Michael Mann (Collateral, the Insider), he can do grit. I like Boyle too. I absolutely loved the look and feel of 28 days later.

Agreed...I love steady angles. My vote still goes to the Wachoskis.

they are taken.

thats why i point to wimmer

[Elongated_Yen7]

Who voted for Shumacher? Last time I checked Weapon X didn't involve Neon black lights or multicolored hair.. and I don't want to see Nipples of Sabretooth's or Wolvies costume..

[phoenix_force]

According to IMDB ratner is directing!

[The Apatow Crew]

According to IMDB ratner is directing!I was just about to mention that.

Take a look at your source. And remember it's for an upcoming movie.

[hitpehoaos]

we all know that imdb has no clue for upcoming movies take Aunt May's listing as carnage in SM3, come on?

Ratner is the obvious choice. He could probably direct Wolverine after he wraps Rush Hour 3 although there is a problem of release date -- FOX wants the picture by summer 2008, which means shooting needs to commence next year. So Ratner may be a wee bit occupied.

My vote went to Kurt Wimmer. He directed Equilibrium, which was utterly fantastic. He could bring a sensible gritty style to Wolverine. He also doesn't have an upcoming project. There are a lot of other feasible choices, but none of them are big names (neither is Wimmer, for that manner). I'm guessing it'll probably be someone indie or a known action director.

Still, has anyone mentioned Matthew Vaughn? I know he's prepping Stardust but I'd love to see his take on Wolvie.

[Deep Thinkin'!]

I am NOT wanting Ratner. In my opinion he did a crudy job for x3.
I wouldn't mind Singer. I would prefer him over Ratner.
I heard Kurt Wimmer was good, and I wouldn't mind him to do the job.
My vote is for Singer or Wimmer.....

[x-fan]

i have been watching alot of mel gibson stuff lately things he has directed and acted in and i believe he could really give us fans the real wolverine, i say let him direct it. there is a novel out there written about the weapon x project that would make an excellent movie and it gives scientific reasons for how it all works.it is written by Marc Cerasini it is really good.

[Rambaldi]

Len Wiseman and Doug Liman are my choices.

[Fanticon]

I go with David Twohy...I loved Riddick...:D
And I think if anyone really gets the whole anti-hero thing its him:up:

[The Apatow Crew]

I'm just gonna say Brett Ratner.

[Neto Magnus]

well, with the way things are going with Marvel films, they might as well just get a regular comicbook dork to direct it.

they can do a contest and pick a winner.

[neemer5]

Still, has anyone mentioned Matthew Vaughn? I know he's prepping Stardust but I'd love to see his take on Wolvie.

I thought about it, and He'd be an excellent choice. I absolutely loved Layer Cake. WHen he was hired for X3, I literally crapped my pants. The problem is, he dropped out of X3. There are lots of rumours why, but all point to Fox not taking a chance with him.

[pt_photo_inc]

Every major ******* movie studio in America wants to turn a profit. No studio makes a movie just to make a quality movie. Sorry but Slevin and Running Scared didn't do good for one reason...they sucked. It is your opinion that Slevin is one of the best movies of the year and that you think Matrix 2 & 3 sucked. Well everyone I know said that Matrix 2 was the best of the trilogy by far and Running Scared and Slevin was stupid. Josh Hartnett is a piece of **** actor that should never be on the big screen. Guess what else...X1, X2, and X3 are all "popcorn" films. You go to see the mutants showcase their talents. And last time I checked...more people liked X3 on here than those who didn't...and the World seems to agree with it pushing 400 billion worldwide. Wolverine will be another action popcorn flick. No one wants a tender hearted love story tearing at our heart strings while we hug our girlfriends and sniffle away. They want Wolverine tearing the **** out of bad guys with blood everywhere.


I just read that this again... you made fun of Josh Hartnet while BOASTING for movie with Keanu Reeves! LOL! just ironic

[pt_photo_inc]

so in your mind slevin and running scared, or capote, or all those movies that "ARE" truely good, are good be cause they are "tender hearted love story tearing at our heart strings while we hug our girlfriends and sniffle away", come on dude. stop looking stupid. You once quoted me a few times for my insight into movies and now you stand on the very opposite side and promote **** over story... quantity over quality. and you can make a POP HYPE movie if you want to "TURN YOUR 400 MILLION PROFIT" and in the mean time be sooo ****ing insulted on websites that you cant even reply for the piece of crap you made. IE. X3 writers running from anwsering questions at thexuniverse.com It is kind of like shaquille o'neal on game 2 of the finals. Sure... he is shaq, he brings in the money and then tickets... people go to see him... that is what every investor wants... but sometimes... just sometimes, we just have to say "seeing him play all four quarters and only scoring 5 pts in the WHOLE GAME, just isnt what we want." Sure i am glad X3 made money. But not that it blew my cock ten days from opening night. That there was NO even attempt to be a good movie. Just to throw elements into a movie that the average ticket buyer would like.

For instance, most people on here probabally hate bush. But he was re-elected. My point is just because you can convince the masses doesnt make the masses anything more then a huge group of ****ing simple minded idiots. And i say all this with out any raised voice. so we can shoot down the "chill" comments now. I just saw "Three Burials", what a great movie. Didnt do well in the box office. but didnt spend much money either. So over all it was a success, and it was nominated. So it walks away with pride. Boondock Saints was never even released in theaters. By all accounts it bombed. According to your measuring cup. But man that is a classic, and great movie. Million Dollar Hotel has probabally never even been heard about from most of the members of this site... but it sits on top of my "greatest hits" in my collection. "OLDBOY" did horrible in america... but CHAN WOOK PARK is one of my favorite directors and it remains an amazing story of vengence, with one of the longest, best, choerographed "Un cut/ no breaks" fight scenes i have EVER SCENE... but by your standards this movies all sucked??????? Cause your box office didnt welcome them? Who do you hang out with? 12 year olds? People that would say SLEVIN sucked? HAHAHA.... whatever dude.

I was in blockbuster tonight and i was like "Am i going to like 16 blocks?" to this chic... and she was like "Just get running scared! that is a ****ing movie!" and i was like "bought it the day it came out!" I dont know who you hang out around but i am guessing they would praise any movie that awwwed you a bit. But that is where i am saying I choose a GLADIATOR over a MATRIX 2, or a BRAVEHEART over an X3, or an OLD BOY over a FAST AND THE FURIOUS. I dont care what you think is going to win at the box office if you are talking about ****ing with my favorite characters we had that already. Ratner did the stupidest **** to our favorite characters... i mean seriously. And he didnt even try to make it work. he just did it. Here is angel, now he is gone, now he catches his dad... now he is gone? ALL RATNER HAD TO DO IS A SCENE TO SHOW CLOSURE WITH ANGEL AND FATHER AND THAT SCENE WOULD HAVE BEEN VALIDATED. Then you have rogue... cure no cure... wait "no cure"????? Oh yeah, she didnt even struggle with the idea. But all that had to be done there, HAVE ROGUE IN LINE, SHOW PROTESTORS. SHOW ROGUE WANTING TO RUN BUT SOMETHING IS KEEPING HER THERE. JUST A DESIRE FOR NORMALCY. THEN SHOW A VERY MUTATED UGLY LITTLE GIRL WITH A SIGN THAT READS "MUTATION IS NOT A DESEASE", ROGUE STARTS TO CRY... BUT STAYS.

I mean come on! are you really blind to these small little "GOOSHY SCENES" that lock the action? Are you the kind of ******* that is like "HELL YEAH" when gladiator is fighting but when he is dead and on his way back to the family you are all like "**** this... this part sucks! boooooo!" cause if so... i have nothing to discuss with you. I can not hold a conversation with a pop culture tool. not saying you are one... unless you fit into that category.


damn this was a good post... and just so you know Chaester, it wasnt cause of the "F" word, i dont even get angry when i post... my cursing is a bad habit that comes from dating a scottish chic. I love her to death but boy is cursing a part of normal conversation. So that was not to make me sound "MAD". My post was good cause it is solid. I really didnt even need to make it, you want the creators of the MATRIX to do the WOLVERINE MOVIE!!!!! Wow... just wow....

[pt_photo_inc]

Tarantino is washed up. He peaked with Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill was a freaking slapstick joke. There's only so much witty dialogue one can take and then covering up the fact that he ran out of ideas with ridiculous poorly choerographed fight scenes doens't help. Why Kill Bill got raves is beyond me. I enjoyed the Punisher more. Hell I'd rather watch Death Hunt.

i was willing to hear this until you praised PUNISHER over KILL BILL. But i will agree to disagree with you on that. I hope the new punisher movie does better.

[pt_photo_inc]

Anyone that knows anything about Tarintino would know that he would never do the film, and if he did, it would be a mistake.
Tarantino has such a well defined style, that all of his films take a backseat to that style. In other words, it wouldn't be a "Wolverine" film so much as it would be a "Tarantino" film, if that makes sense. Personally, as great of a director QT is (he's probably my favorite), he can't attach himself to a story like this, as either he or the story would make far too many compromises.
My #1 would definitely be Paul Greengrass. I loved what he did with Bourne Supremacy and United 93. My second choice would be Michael Mann (Collateral, the Insider), he can do grit. I like Boyle too. I absolutely loved the look and feel of 28 days later.

I voted for Robert rodriguez but Quentin Tarantino or rodriguez to direct a Wolverine film.

[deathfromabove]

Capote won Oscars...what do Slevin and Running Scared have to show...NOTHING. I am sorry but your argument is flawed because you have nothing to back up that Slevin and Running Scared were great movies except for you and your friends personal thoughts on the matter. Movie reviewers loved Capote and it won awards but didn't reach much of America. Slevin and RS didn't reach Americans and didn't win any awards...they were both flops. I am not going argue with you any more because you are grasping at straws and I would rather not argue just for the sake of an argument.

i usually just read comments and keep it to myself but i had to speak up

both of those movies recieved very good reviews.

im sorry x3 was entertaining enough but it was a bad film and ratner is a hack.

the first matrix outshines the sequel for days.

action, entertainment value, and box office do not make a good film. nor do good reviews btw, blade runner was universally panned and didn't do very good box office but we can agree on its greatness, right?

right?

and liking a movie doesn't make it great either.

if can't see with your own eyes the difference between the first 2 xmen and x3 or the first matrix and the others then...

eh...i have a feeling im wasting my breath.



just forget it.

My original argument was that Fox isn't going to make a film with no action and a great story. They are going to make a movie that is going to bring in the big bucks...not win Oscars. Capote was made to win Oscars...it didn't reach mass America but it grabbed many awards. Slevin and Running where made as action thrillers and failed at the box office and came out short handed when awards where passed out. Only a handfull of movies have reached mass America and won many awards for its great action and great story...Star Wars, LOTR, etc...

This was in no way shape or form 100% Ratner's fault. X3 was a good movie but could have been great. Singer leaving, Fox's idiot execs, short production time, Ratner not much about X-men, etc...all had to do with X3's short comings. Ratner is a good director and did good with what he had in the limited amount of time he had.

BTW, Blade Runner was good but by no means a classic.

[hitpehoaos]

i think Brian Singer would be very keen, but maybe he is starting to lose his peformace (superman returns), i really want a real edgy director, good angles and raw footage style

which is why he could do wolvie justice lol, he certainly knows how to do berserk like no one else

[Stupify_me]

Burn the Wolverine haters ... JK

Ill go with Singer just because he has the esxperiance with comics and Xmen in perticular. The absolute worst choice IMO is Joel Schumacher I am a huge huge Wolverine fan but if he directs it I will not watch it after he raped batman I won't see anything he does

[hitpehoaos]

Mel Gibson is out of the question because he is now in rehab and constantly rants over his hate for Jews...No Mel Gibson please...

i dont care about these peoples personal lives it is the ablity to make movies that i lean toward, if let there lives influence me i would never go see a movie since most actors are nuts off camera and the same can be said for the whole movie industry

I don't want either Ratner or Singer,i'd like a fresh vision on this and from the list i'd pick Proyas

[hitpehoaos]

Mel Gibson is out of the question because he is now in rehab and constantly rants over his hate for Jews...No Mel Gibson please...
i dont think he hates jews, he just said jews start all the wars, which speaking isnt correct but from an outside view there is truth in his statement. Plus its his personal life and we should all believe in forgiveness so he could still have a shot

BTW, Blade Runner was good but by no means a classic.

I thought it is generally regarded as a classic. BFI has it listed as a classic. I think it's also a criterion collection film. Even Siskel and Ebert recanted their original reviews and said that after the film reached it's cult status.
It was a very important film, some consider it revolutionary because it was the first detective/scifi cross genre film.
Ironically Wild Wild West is also considered important for this reason (first film to cross scifi with western).

Half of the whining fanboys on here have not forgave Ratner and he didn't do anything wrong...Plus I don't want Mel Gibson period. Mel Gibson hates Jews and this is not the first time he has ranted about them...that is why you keep your personal life...well personal. I still go Wachowskis...V was an excellent movie and their fight scenes in the Matrix movies were amazing.

Classics are Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, etc...Old movies that are hailed as timeless. Blade Runner was a good movie but is way to early to be a classic. It is sad that Ebert and Siskel were politically or socially swayed to vote against it. But a cult classic like Blade Runner only reaches a certain faction of our society, sort of like the Rocky Horror Picture Show or Romero's Zombie movies. Classics are generally loved by all and at their time of release were revolutionary and seen as a magnificent feat. It is also sad to think that Wild Wild West is revolutionary...:(...that will never be a classic.

[Hunter Rider]

Blade Runner is a classic of it's genre,and therefore a classic movie when all genre's are counted in overall classics lists,probably the greatest most influentual sci fi movie outside of Star Wars

Like someone said above then Wild Wild West would be a classic because it was the first to mix Western and Sci-fi. When people think of classic movies...Blade Runner usually doesn't come to mind...

And I wouldn't dare say Blade Runner is the most influentual sci fi movie outside of Star Wars...I don't know of any Blade Runner conventions or people dressing up as Rick Deccard. I am not saying it isn't a great movie...I am saying it is not a timeless classic as of yet.

The movie is classic and influnetial due to it's theme's and it's visuals,the look of Blade Runner has influenced more sci fi cfilms of the past 2 decades than any other out there and recently influenced BB
when you do a list of classic movies you always include all genre's and in those genre's is Sci Fi and Blade Runner is top of the pile and makes most critics top 50's

Did you miss:

Time Rider & Back to the Future 3?

There was also a handful of old western films that involved going into some cave and find dino's, and the Wild Wild West TV series was quite cool. Some Lost in Space and Star Trek episodes combined the two genres. I remember the one Star Trek Episode where they had to go to the ok corral.

[MattC]

I would like Bryan Singer, but I'm open to other directors depending on what they bring to it. It also depends how much they are wanting to keep the tone similar to the main X-Men movies.

[LEX]

David Fincher

But hearing how he and Fox have bad blood, it's a pity that him directing Wolverine is unlikely. Same goes for Alex Proyas. Didn't he almost quit during the production of I, Robot because of some disagreements between Proyas and Fox?

No Singer or Ratner, srry. I'd like to see a fresh take on this spin-off. My decision lies between Robert Rodriguez, Len Wiseman and Wachowski Bros.

Sin City was sheer brilliance. Underworld was dark, gritty and bloody. The Matrix was a breakthrough.

Robert Rodriguez

[gvcool2]

These films are way too dark for Ratner or Singer, especially singer!

[FromHell...]

I don't know, Ratner's A.D.D. killed X3.

[The_Vision]

Peter Jackson

[gvcool2]

Peter Jackson

even wolverine would get old by the time jacksons movie had ended

[Dark Knight]

Doug Liman would be a good choice........NO to Singer for Wolverine! No....No....No...

[WeaponXProject]

I'd like Christopher Nolan but he probably won't do it. I don't think Singer deserves to do it since he dicked over on X3 and went to Superman.(Which is funny to me bc they might not want him back for the next since they didn't even break even for Superman yet on movie cost vs. box office). If they got Nolan he could dig deep into the mental pain that is logan. We all want and need to see the sad past of logan anyway and he's the best choice. Realistically they'd get Ratner or Len Wiseman or Robert Rodriguez. Im iffy on all three but they definitely don't have a good chance at all these famous directors out there like I'd hope.
