They've got a script (which means a plot too). The writer has been at it since late 2004.

The rest is all true sadly or they've already signed up a director with out us knowing.

Fox won't learn from its mistakes because they profit from them. They profited from X3 despite their horrible mistakes, so they'll repeat them again and again and again until people stop seeing these movies.

Don't think so. Hugh Jackman referenced Benioff's script recently and said it was just about good to go - and Jackman's producing as well as starring, so he should know.

This was one of the first things I realized when I heard the announcement, that they don't have a director, there is only one actor and they wont start filming until all that comes into place. I think the least we can hope for is a release date later in the year, but I doubt that'll happen. Fox never learns...

if they do stick to their guns and go with a 2007 release...they're going to need all the time they can so it better not come out any earlier than October...personally I doubt it will even come out next year...this one is going to be a train wreck...I can already feel it, re-shoots, re-writes, re-casting supporting characters...Hugh, though committed...usually seems to find room for other projects between his attachments to Xmen and Wolverine...I wonder if he's having second thoughts...not just about the movie...but the release date and his personal schedule, can't be good news to him...unless he's thinking "the sooner I break away from Fox the better...so I better get it over with"...this mentality will translate on the screen, combined with negative buzz and offscreen drama....I predict failure on all counts.

This talk of Hugh wanting to break with Fox is folks projecting their own feelings about the studio onto him.
Hugh has a strong relationship with Fox. They've pretty much handed him control of this project. He's shepherded the screenplay, and he has the power to select a director (with the studio's input, of course).
Yes, Fox has screwed up on Marvel films in the past, but in this case we have a film that already has a script pretty much locked up, and a producer-star who knows what he wants and knows exactly how to play the part. There's really no reason for foot-stomping yet. Let's at least wait for the announcement of a director and release date before breaking out the pitchforks, shall we?

Oh come on people, calm it down. This script has been worked on, heck even before X3 was written for crying out loud. This film is going to be more focused and not near as broad a spectrum as the team film was. It will probably not be a FX extravaganza, and will more than likely be more character driven. Smaller scale. This film will have a a far shorter shooting schedule, possibly 2-3 months as opposed to 5 or 6. Now if they had announced they were going for a May release, yeah, I'd get a bit nervous, but a date has not been announced, and the date is always subject to change!!!!!!!!! Ghost Rider was moved around, wasn't it? Nothing is set in stone yet. They may be aiming for November or December.
So as GL's Light said, let's not break out the pitchforks quite yet, ok?

I suppose, but I look at how well Superman Returns seems to be turning out, between reading reviews, some from papers where they usually hate everything, and hearing some positive fan reaction, not to mention the clips shown thus far, the film at least looks visually competent. Or Batman Begins, or Spider-Man. Films like this are the ones that do the best because the studios hire the right people and lets them do their job. Fox clearly didn't care that their screenwriters' credits included some of the worst reviewed movies of the last two years, INCLUDING comic book movies like Catwoman and Elektra. And once the script leaked to the public, FOX clearly didn't care that a vast majority of people HATED it. And then there's just months them blowing smoke up our asses. "Oh, Cyclops will have an important role in the film." "We've changed a lot in the script, so some things are different." and so on, and so on. Not to mention featuring characters and costume who never appear in costume in the film. That's just deceptive and insulting to the audience. Seeing Angel in uniform on the Premiere cover really lifted my expectations for the character in the film, only to discover his involvement is so minimal, he might as well not have been in the film at all. They could have made up a character exclusively for the film whose company developed the cure, or even, expand on the Rao character. Make it her project alone.
And I think that's been the big thing that's bothered fans with the X-Men films, countless wasted characters. I've enjoyed Mystique in the films, and I wouldn't necessarily complain about the fact that her relationship with Rogue AND Nightcrawler is excluded from the films. But dammit, they couldn't even hint at Sabretooth and Wolverine having a past, beyond Sabre's affinity for Logan's dogtags. Sabretooth is a representation of what Wolverine struggles not to be, a sadistic animal. Their relationship runs very deep, and its that relationship that defines Sabretooth as a character. Sabretooth as his own entity isn't nearly as interesting. And the list goes on and on, Deathstrike, Callisto (who isn't even referred to by name in the film anyway), Psylocke, Trask, Juggernaut. ESPECIALLY Juggernaut! All misused and underdeveloped for no justifiable reason. It's a pain to see some of our favorite characters reduced to monosyllabic cronies (if they even speak at all!). Granted, the re-imagining of William Stryker was pitch-perfect, IMO.

SHH has updated the story - the original article they quoted has now removed any mention of a 2007 release date. Could've been a mistake on the reporter's part. So Wolverine may be slated for a 2008 release after all, and this is much ado about nothing.

well i should be gone soon. i dont want to be a part of this site anymore. but i will leave some thoughts on my thread here.
here is my issue. very intelligent reply, i like your insight... but isnt hugh the one that said he would like to work with Ratner on it? and isnt he the one that said he thinks X3 is the best of the trilogy? and everyone always wants to say "No pitchforks yet!" which i agree with... when it comes to SM3 or movies that the companies making them give the crew free will to make it under thier own conditions. SM3 has been filming since before x3 and is still filming! Superman Returns took its precious time! There is a big key word missing from fox's work.... "SIGNIFICANCE". They seem to cut all the scenes or make it impossible to add that into thier movies. You can tell by watching Superman Returns that there are sooo many scenes added just to build significance! And it was touching!
Why schedule release dates before the movie starts filming? and I have a magazine here about X3 where Hugh says that he has "rejected the second draft" of the script and is waiting for a revision. So yes they may have been working on it for a while.... but just a few months ago it wasnt good enough to keep.... so what is it now?

I look forward to spiderman and let me just put it in writing here.... RECORD NUMBERS IN THE BOX OFFICE, and i want to go on record saying all these fans *****ing about Grace/venom.... go get a girl friend and **** off! It will be fantastic to see Venom portrayed by someone that doesnt look like he has a full time membership at 24 hour fitness. "i am soooooooooooo dark and soooooooooooooo evil..... i will be back in an hour. I have to go to 24 hour fitness... while i am still this whinny *****!" And do you know how much he would have to eat? I mean... it really doesnt suit his character. Venom should look "lanky". Just like the rumors of Betany being cast for JOKER! How freaking perfect would that be! Casting is rarely an issue until you see if it works. But trust me... non of the *****ers on this site, know if it will work or not. So hats off to SPM3, and the company producing it.
GL's Light

Hugh's comments are supportive of Fox and X3 because he has a strong relationship with them that he intends to maintain. Stars always talk up their latest film in glowing terms, whether they mean it or not - that's just the Hollywood system, like it or not.
Hugh has said that he'd consider Brett Ratner as director of Wolverine, but that he wants a style different to the X-Men films. Hopefully he was just being polite to Ratner and that he'll go with someone else.
Should Fox give their films longer shooting schedules? Absolutely. You'll get no argument from me on that. But Fox's methods sometimes end in good films despite the rush. I'm willing to give this film the benefit of the doubt until I have reason not to.

I wonder what aspect of Wolvie's life are they going to explore. His black-ops years? His Weapon X years leading into a possible Alpha Flight film?
There is really some great material for the director/writers to draw from. But who am I kidding? Just as they decided to throw the comics out the window for the X-films, they'll probably do the same for this film. They'll probably get some director with an ego who wants to put his mark on the film, rather than just follow the source material as closely as possible. That or another corporate yes man. Worse, Fox will probably direct this film from the board room and the accounting department like they did X3.
The potential is there, but the whole thing just reeks of Fox just trying to cash in with as little risk as possible. I know it's way to early to judge, but I can't get excited or have any faith in anything Fox does with Marvel's properties anymore.
Make me a (true) believer Fox.

Now go to supermans new trailer on tv where it is being praised as "the best movie of the year" "completely lives up to every exspectation" "absolutely a must see", all from TIME, ROLLINGSTONES, PEOPLE, ETC.....
Like i said before Singer= Sigificant. Like putting real emotion into an action movie so you care about the action. Not cause "WOW that was an hour and twenty minutes of look good cgi! that is all i need to be happy!" there are more holes in X3 then are excusable. To me, it ranks right there with ELEKTRA in story. Yes it was visually amazing, but yes it was retarded. Please dont come on here and praise X3 unless you back it up with something intelligent. I have yet to hear one well made arguement about X3 from its "fans". They are just like "ratner let the characters loose which singer was afraid to do", which is stupid cause singer let his characters loose. It was just inbetween scenes of significance to build up to the scene. (IE. Wolverine in the mansion!)

Ratner toattly screwed up the movie and so did fox because Ratner wanted to take more time to finish the movie but i think it was Rothman who said no we need it now which was stupid on his part. Also he wanted to do it before Superman Returns so that he could get everybody to see the movie as if he did it later it would get caught up in withsuperman returns.

I don't hate Fox, because there are times when they do release some pretty good films. But I do think they screwed up royally with X3. The book was better, and if they had construed the movie like the book, it would have made a significant difference in the quality of the movie. I still enjoyed it none the less, and X3 had it's moments. But when your favorite character is Rogue, you can't blame me for being a bit bitter towards the movie.

Well if only Fox said they didn't want Scott in the movie, he would have had a bigger role... but since they didn't want him at all in x3, what was the point the Phoenix saga since Kinberg/Penn screwed it up with Logan saving Jean instead of Scott saving Jean? Although Fox didn't want Jean/Phoenix to be in X3 either but Kinberg fought for her to be in it but still... Fox shouldn't have a say about whos in and whos not in the film. It should be up to the director and writers, not the studio but Fox f***ed it up. They think they're really smart...but they aren't. all they care about is Wolverine this...Wolverine that. They're so f***ing busy dicking around with Wolverine that they can't seem to care enough for the other X-Men. Fox, you do know that the meaning of X-Men relates to more than just Wolverine? Oh right...you probably don't care because your too busy f***ing around with Wolverine to bother to give the other X-Men their moment to shine and give them more screentime. Once again, its all about your money and Wolverine. You disgust me in terms of what you think the rest of the X-Men stand for.

Let's get some things straight now.
First, Jean didn't kill cyclops. It was pheonix.
Second, Jean wouldnt kill a whole planet either, but in the comics, she did (as pheonix).
The story is still about the power of love. The essence is there, and that's what you said is important. But the difference is, it's wolverines love. Now I know that cyclops fans dont wanna hear this, but in three movies, he was a total non entity. He did nothing worth while, and building the third movie around him would be a mistake. But wolverine, not only is he a bankable star (and a better actor) than cyclops, but he also loves Jean. so is replacing the two REALLY that much of a bother to you? If so, fine....you're missing out.
I loved the movie personally, The ''essence'' of the story, and characters, is definitly there. The ''essence'' of the pheonix story, love, is still there The other movies didnt really bother too much about xavier and magneto too much, but here they do and its great.
all I can say is, if you like the x men, you owe it to your self to see ut ti at least make up your own mind, without any preconceptions. The essence is there, and if you care about that, then you should enjoy it.
But if you dont wanna enjoy it because a deadwood actor playing a (in the movies at least) worthless character isnt part of the main arc, its your loss.
It's up to you man, but the only way to truly judge it is to watch. I am a life long x men fan and I loved the hell out of it.

Don't count your chickens before they've hatched. Fox probably hasn't touched the script yet and they probably have final cut, too.

Yes...IT IS! Cyclops is My favorite X-Man...and and I've been reading X-Men for 28 Year's! I'm way to hardcore of an X-Men Fan to remove Myself emotionally from the Character's & Story to let it go...I'm sorry...I just can't!:( If I'm missing out...so be it. Brian Singer gave US two good X-Men Movie's...and I feel, We were lucky to get that! So X-Men's loss...is SUPERMAN'S gain...it's His turn anyway, He's been gone for too long...and it's good to see Him back!

To hell with Fox. Watch the S3 teaser trailer.
Raimi is about to do it again! Give the fans what we want, a REAL comicbook movie. Not a half-hearted attempt or some ego driven version of our beloved characters.
Please God, let Raimi bring another Marvel comic to life in the near future....him or Jackson that is.
S3 in 07 is the real deal.

It's your loss.
I'm just glad X3 kicked Superman's ass at the box office :up:
I' would argue that you're not really an x men fan at all if you don't even see the movie, but that' just my opinion. Seeing it and hating it is different to not seeing it at all.
And I think the characters are all there. But then again, I think Cyclops is boring as hell in the comis too.

Actually X Men 3 has already out grossed Batman Begins. And we will see if Superman manages to get 400 million worldwide, but I doubt it.

It's not like you have any valid comments on X3 since you haven't even seen it.But superman returns has had a disappointing box office so far, it's common knowledge.

True I haven't seen X-Men 3...and NEVER will. But I have seen Batman Begins, Spidey 1 & 2, and Superman returns....and They GOT IT RIGHT! They stay true to the Character's(Jean wouldn't KILL Scott)...and that makes Me happy regardless on any Box Office Number's!

Are you sure you have ever read an X Men comic, let alone the pheonix saga?
Pheonix is NOT Jean Grey, and Jean Grey is not Pheonix.
So maybe you should have read the books more, if you indeed ever read them at all, which I doubt.

Pheonix did kill scott but it was jean that kept Cyclops alive in the pheonix saga....X3 did a great job of interpreting the pheonix story into a tragic love story between logan and jean :rolleyes: ..and they got that right!!....pheonix saga isn't tragic love between scott and jean its about Logan and Jean Dammit:mad: ....they have to kill half the equation of the pheonix saga(Cyclops) and have wolverine to make it look better:( ...Cyclops can't hold jeans body like in the comics becasue wolverine is more popular and loves jean and thats why he holds her and screams cause he lost the women he loved...One of X-men greatest story line Dark Pheonix saga is Translated Brilliantly on big screen:D....but anyway...I dislike what fox did to X3 cause the movie sucked :down....but they do other things right..I like Fox 5..the simpson and they show nascar...and X-men 1 & 2

I'm well aware of The Pheonix Copying Jean, and placing Her in the healing Pod at the Bottom of the Ocean. But it copied Her so well...that in affect...Jean save the Comos by remote control. The Pheonix came to believe it was Jean...and rather than harm Scott...comitted Suicide!

I don't like Wolverine so much so if the movie ends up sucking I won't even see it.
what do you mean by sucking? like x3? which sucked! it was such a load of crap. i can't believe it was the biggest movie of the year! anyway if jackman's track record is any indication, then this will do great in the box office( and after reading the script review it looks promising). the only good movies he's in are when he plays wolverine. ALL of the others suck.

^ it was the biggest movie of the year based on the hype, man, people loved X2 and assumed everything could capitulate in X3 (sadly mistaken). Who knows what the wolvie spin-off will be like...maybe people will see X3, leave disgusted, and then lose faith and assume not to see Wolverine the Movie? nah, i think ppl will see just cuz...I know I will either way.

This talk of Hugh wanting to break with Fox is folks projecting their own feelings about the studio onto him.
Hugh has a strong relationship with Fox. They've pretty much handed him control of this project. He's shepherded the screenplay, and he has the power to select a director (with the studio's input, of course).
Yes, Fox has screwed up on Marvel films in the past, but in this case we have a film that already has a script pretty much locked up, and a producer-star who knows what he wants and knows exactly how to play the part. There's really no reason for foot-stomping yet. Let's at least wait for the announcement of a director and release date before breaking out the pitchforks, shall we?
I'm glad to hear that....as long as Avi Arad takes a backseat on the production and choosing a director.....then the film has a chance to be great.
The key is getting a good director not a another Avi hack and puppet.

Outgrossed...means nothing. BB was a far better film!
The only reason it outgrossed BB was because X MEN was more for the kiddies...
