I'm thinking of going to school for directing or something in film if you guys read this feel free to honestly rate each of these movie ideas (1-10; 0 if really and horrible) I had them read by many people I know, and got good feedback, so now I hope to see what poeple that don't know me think.
The next move
X-Men: /X4
Narration by Ororo Munroe- The Dream: hope, faith, optimism, anticipation… It is that thing burning in each of us, deep down in every soul; that thing we hold dear to our hearts giving us a reason to live on. It has sanctioned us to endure and thrive with every breath in our body. But if this dream is not fulfilled, we will not evolve. So we must fulfill, we must believe, and we must achieve… The Dream.
Synopsis
A new threat has dawned upon mutant kind. Due to Magneto's war, security is now the highest priority. Senator Kelly (Or an equally powerful politician) has mysteriously returned along with the mutant registration acts. The sentinels have become the main source of human protection fearing that Magneto or some new mutant threat could be plotting against man-kind. Mutants everywhere flood the sewers as a haven under the lead of Masque. Amongst his most trusted are Caliban, Gambit and a few others, who he sends out to track and recruit mutants into the Morlocks; but something has changed. The sentinels are now uncontrollable and mysteriously armed with the mutant registration acts. With their creator Dr. Bolivar Trask dead the X-Men lead by Storm must battle these mutant hunting robots.
X-Men: Legacy/X5
Narration by Professor X.- Evolution: a change or as scientists have theorized, a shift living organisms undergo over many generations to suite their environment. One might ask why mutants have evolved above their counter parts man; or even contemplate what we are evolving to? Either way the true answer only lies within our Legacy; our as we have come to know it, our evolution.
Synopsis
All over the news controversy raises as the emergence of a mutant epidemic spreads. A leading geneticist Dr. Nathaniel Essex has deemed the outbreak “The Legacy virus” one in which only mutants can inherit; but when it is revealed that this isn’t a new mutant epidemic, but “the cure” itself progressing to a deadlier state. The X-Men must make their move; to protect their Legacy; which will only end in losses.
X-Men: Dawn of Apocalypse/X6
Narration by Professor X.- As old as time itself, those who are different have always been met fear, resentment and often hate. Humanity has never embraced what they yet to understand, more than often resulting in conflict. If you look at history itself you’d find that for as long as there are those who fear there has, and always will be, war.
Synopsis
Over 1,000 years ago a mutant En Sabah Nur or as they called him Apocalypse reigned all of Egypt with an iron fist. His tyranny would only expand casting the world into eternal war. But somehow he had been stopped. Evidence as to how or who sealed Apocalypse away has never been found, just that he was. But such a time is upon humanity now as history begins to repeat itself. The final battle dawns upon the X-Men as they face of against the ultimate mutant, in the ultimate battle to ensure a world that hates and fears them.
I need some feedback- planning to write story for X-4

These are great! good work!

Those are really good! I'm especially liking the X-Men: Legacy one. I like the whole "cure" backfire thing and I think that would make an excellent plot for a movie while all the while setting up Mr. Sinister and then leading towards the big bang with Apocalypse. 10/10 for all of em!:up:

Some great ideas in there. A few comments:
X4 - Senator Kelly is dead, it would have to be Trask (as seen in X3). I dreamed the other night of Storm doing a voiceover for the next movie, though the version in my dream was more personal to her and her origin, linking it in to the movie
X5 - Remember that Rogue, Mystique and Magneto were all cured, so you would have to think about if/how the virus affected them
X6 - good climax to the films. Although I'd always imagined Apocalypse being reimagined as a modern-day super-mutant rather than an ancient Egyptian. This might also be the chance for the return of Phoenix as the only one capable of stopping him. The irony of Apocalypse needs exploring - he is doing exactly what the world fears all mutants will do: taking over the world. Is this the role of mutants eventually? Is Apocalypse only doing what is natural and what is destined?

While I want to see the war persist between humans and mutants... to threat should be more universal and should center around Apocalypse

Hi,
I'm new. Your ideas are great but I must point out that Gambit should not be one of Magneto's cronies. Gambit passionately hates Magneto and would never work for him. You should have him like the comic book, formerly having worked for Mr. Sinister and having been an unwilling part of the Morlock Massacre. What do you plan for Rogue in your movies? I have always dreamed of seeing the Romy romance onscreen. I really want Rogue to be the tough but vulnerable Southern belle that she is. Other than that little thought, your stories are Oscar worthy.:meow:

I like some of the ideas, because there's really only one logical direction to go when using certain storylines. I'm in the process of writing an X-Men prequel, and similar X4 and X5 scripts. No X6 script planned right. I don't think it's neccessary to wrap up the story in a satisfactory manner.

But it's all fine and dandy between people and mutants at the end of X3...and in the next movie they'd introduce the sentinels? Hmm.

Fine and dandy? :huh: Try telling that to the victims of the soldiers at Alcatraz. They'll want something to be done to stop anything like this happening again.

That's right TKing. I know the X-Men comics well enough to know that just when our heroes think it's over, it's only just begun. Humanity always has the same fear and you never know when they might launch a vicious attack. In the movies, the event at Alcatraz could certainly lead to the creation of the Sentinels. And also, that would be a good way to get the stories back on track with comic book. I just want Gambit, and Rogue the way she actually is.:meow:

But they show all these kids getting sent to Xavier's and Beast becoming...whatever important dude he became, I don't really remember. It seems that mutants are more accepted at the end of X3.
Oh, well...I haven't read a lot of comics, so what do I know :woot:
The Guard
01-01-2007, 10:04 PM
Yes, some kids went to Xavier's, and Beast became an ambassador. Those are steps, yes, but things would hardly be perfect between humans and mutants, just because. Individuals would still be bigoted and hateful. The public would still fear mutants to a degree, and as anyone who follows the X-Men knows, there are other powerful mutants out there besides Magneto who don't share Xavier and the X-Men's respect for mankind, who would stir things up again.

I have some ideas for javphonic's X-men 4 like:
Because of the mutant registration acts, mutants can't be allowed in offices or any kind of goverment administration, leading Beast to to be fired by the President!!:woot:

Ok guyts it's taken me a while, but here's my version of X4s opening scene
As the narration goes on the camera weaves from the insides of a sentinel and ends up outside the eye: the camera backs away to show a fogged yet distinct figure of the sentinel's face, whcihc is very robotic yet human like
Ororo Munroe--The Dream: hope, faith, optimism, anticipation… It is that thing burning in each of us, deep down in every soul; that thing we hold dear to our hearts giving us a reason to live on. It has sanctioned us to endure and thrive with every breath in our body. But if this dream is not fulfilled, we will not evolve. So we must fulfill, we must believe, and we must achieve… The Dream.
-Late at night armed mecenaries approach a snowed over bar with a full lot, inside is buzzing-Inside the howling men are being served with a sexy striptease in the center of the room, by the bar a rugged blonde man sits looking on-
Bar tender: 'nother one Creed?
Creed (Sabretooth): rrr
-He pours a tall glass and sets it infornt of him and goes about straigting up the bar-In the background a mercenary can be seen, he signals and another runs past-Sabretooth's ear is zoomed in upon and then he sniffs the air-He gets up and makes his way to the bathroom, but in a split second snatches up one of the hiding mercenaries by the throat
Creed: *sniff* -and with a growl- American!
Mercenary 1: drop him -aiming at creed-
-The man is suffocating and Sabretooth launches him at the mercenary the other two file in and everyone runs out-In the commotion Sabretooth attacks the 1st mercenary snapping his neck, the other fires, but Sabretooth still charges and launches his claws into his stomach smashing him into the wall. A mercenary begins to fire from the inner doorway. He leaps onto the last mercenary who fires at Sabretooth. He grabs it and points the gun up. The shots weaken the beam above and when Sabretooth smashes the guard into the door side the beam breaks and the pieces fall and knock him out. A man walks in from the main entrance, but all that is seen is his silhouette.

cont.
In Dr. Moira McTaggert's medical facility Charles lies motionless on the bed as Moira is moving a handheld scanner over various parts of his body and checking a screen (diagram of the comatose body) behind her to see if there's any sign of activity. The screen isn't showing much activity except for the head and chest are. She sighs in dissapointment. She rests the scanner on the side table and goes to shut off the computer when Charle's diagram fluctuates between reds and oranges. (blues and greens-no muscle activity + oranges and reds-activity)
Moira: Charles?
javphonic

Charles begins to move and sits up. He turns and as he makes his way off the bed Moira rushes to his side to help him sit up.
Charles: I’m fine… the T.V.
Puzzled she leads him to another room and turns it on, she brings him the remote
Moira: what is it?
Charles turns on the T.V. and the news comes on
Reporter: We’re live through a satellite connection of Senator Graydon Creed who will address Irish senator Tom Cassidy in New York on the mutant crisis…
Moira: oh dear
Senator Creed: … We’ve been living in fear for too long… humanity has been very patient with these people, but now it is of absolute emergency that we come together and figure a way to ensure our survival. People!… they have made it clear, on more than many occasions… that they are hear not to coincide, but to seize control of our society and everything our forefathers have worked so hard to establish… <crowd cheers>
Moira: Charles?
Charles: (in deep thought) Moira, (whisper) what happened?... the mansion, I need to get back…
At the Mansion
-The halls are emptying as students are making their way to their first class after a long summer break, Ororo notices Jimmy (Leech) looking onto a reflective vase at patches of his skin that becoming slightly green
Ororo: You look fine
Jimmy looks at her with uncertainty
Ororo: ... so you ready for your first day
-Jimmy shrugs and hands her his schedule, she places her hand over his shoulder and they walk down the hall
Ororo: you have art, with Mr. Rasputin, you like art
Jimmy: I never had art before
Ororo: well I hear it is very fun
-The two come to the door and she holds it open for him, he hesitates
Ororo: come on
Jimmy: what if they don’t… you know, like me?
Ororo: and why wouldn’t they like you?
Jimmy: well, I’m different
Ororo: Jimmy, we’re all different…
-She bends down to his level
Ororo: here you don’t have to worry about being judged, we’re all different and that’s what makes us special, now get in there and I want to see you smiling the next time I see you
-She flicks his nose and he smiles and walks into the class, Mr. Rasputin (Colossus) is in the front of the class with an easel
-As Ororo rears the corner Logan (with cigar) hurries down the stairs she looks at him and folds her hands
Logan: what?
Ororo: Logan, where are you going?
Logan continues to the door
Ororo: The interview with Ms. Frost is in 20 minutes
Logan: yeah, I’ll be back, just gotta take care of a few things
-He runs out of the mansion

IM baffled as to how/why people want 6 xmen movies. I just dont get it.
emmymae
02-23-2007, 03:37 PM
Why not? They should probably reboot it a few years down the line so they can get some things right. But heck, the movie people still owe us Gambit, and maybe with another movie or two they can make things better plotwise and character-wise too. There are so many characters and intricate plots to choose from that doing six movies might be justified. Star Wars has six movies.
Javphonic, the dialogue's getting kinda cheesy.
javphonic
02-24-2007, 03:28 PM
Thanks emmymae, I agree there should be more movies, granted the stories were better
Also thanks about the cheesy bit, where does it start, is it the whole thing, PLEASE Let me know ASAP,
Anyone more comments PLEASE post!!!
