Cameron Bright is Leech!!

[Retroman]

Brett is a really nice guy with a great sense of humor. I was actually really surprised at how down to earth he was. You could tell when you talk to him that he is very genuine and the fact that he took the time to have long full out conversations with my son said volumes. Actually, everyone that I met... even though it was very brief with most, they are all very relaxed and focused individuals. I have worked on the set of martian child with my son and comparing the two of them I would have to say that the x-men crew appeared to be a lot more down to earth hands down!

I'm glad to hear that.

They will be filming at Vancouver Film Studios in burnaby and I am quite certain that they will be doing all of it in the studio. Chances are that they will have a second unit to film additional exterior shots but I don't think it will involve any cast. Mind you, I could be wrong.

Thanks for the all the info Crystel.

However, i did hear that the forest scene that was in X2 was shot in UBC tho.

Hi Crystel, welcome to the forum.

Got a question for you. Was Leech the only mutant role your boy auditioned for? Do you know of any other characters that they were looking for in your son's age range?

 

[Kmack]

Kmack... I gotta know, how can I get a copy of you dancing girl? I totally love it!

Welcome to the Hype!

Its actually not mine. I borrowed it from a friend in a Britney Spears forum

Actually, the ironic thing is we weren't even auditioning for the part of leech when we first went in.. but for a small non-speaking part. Brett started talking with my son for half of the time that he was there and said that he would like to have him come in to read lines for the part of leech. I don't know what it was that they were casting for but there was about 100 people there. Boys, girls ages up to 35, all cultures and all looks. I am guessing now that it was most likely for the school.

Callisto WAS a fashion model, but that was after another Morlock named Masque altered her to look beautiful. Masque did this to get rid of Callisto so he could take over leadership of the Morlocks when she went to the surface to lead a 'normal' life.
That however was not her natural state and the changes were later reversed, so she went back to being her ugly self.

Didnt she also have a fling with Colossus during the time she was beautiful, back when he thought he was named Peter Nicolaus?

Yes she did. That was in the time Peter was amnesiac after going through the Siege Perilous.

Thanks crystel. I thought maybe you know any of those other roles by names. Like if your son had auditioned for the young Angel part, or anything like that.
I hope he lands a good role soon... Are you going to try and still get him a part in X-3, even if smaller?
Good luck

I wanted to play Leech, an over-sized Leech, but Leech none-the-less...


I'm gone for ONE day and I miss this!? Someone's got to tell me this stuff

 

[JP]

This is great casting. Im a little excited now.

Oh, and thanks for the info Crystal! Welcome to the hype.

Yes, I would like for him to if they will have him that is. It's a great opportunity for him and he loves working on films.


By the way, thanks everyone for welcoming me! It's my pleasure to be virtually here. lol

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Ah, well... I went back and read a couple pages and you have said some pretty legit stuff. I am sorry your son didn't make it, its a shame, but from the sounds of it he's very talented! Good luck with that...

And of course, Welcome to the Hype!

 

[MJB]

Good choice. This kid is a good actor. i'm pleased.

 

[PoSeiDon]

they can cast till the heavens come falling down! many characters dont mean each one of them will have an important role. or even have a line!

 

[JP]

Leech was a major part of the script review. Im sure he'll have a decent role, seeing as Cameron Bright was cast and not some nobody.

Some more info from his message board.

Filming has started now and Cam goes to Victoria for
makeup and prothetics (spelling) fitting. He starts
fiming in 2 weeks and then goes on hold til November
to continue filming again. The whole script is
guarded so that is all I know about his filming days.
We will not see the script and wont know what he is
doing on the day of filming til possibly that day. It
is so secretive. We do know that Cam will be bald He
was hopping to be shaved for the film festival in
Sept. but they wont need him bald til November as the
first week they need him will be shot with hair.
Thats all I know.

crystel, i'm inclined to believe you and you do seem genuinely nice, but how could you not know what xavier's school is? if your son was auditioning for a role in the movie, wouldnt you have gone and rented the first two x-men movies? (you did say you were researching...)

 

[GNR]

Prosthetics eh?Hmmmm...interesting.

Man I got this idea today about Leech in X3.They better not do something lame like have Leech connected to some machine which boosts his power so instead of taking away the powers of those around him in a certain radius,he will be able to take away the powers of all mutants all over the world.Anything to that degree would suck.

 

[FieryBalrog]

you're mixing up characters again

i think it was Psylocke who used to be the model, but don't quote me on that. but i do think it was her, cause her first X-Men outfit was designed by her, and was more fashion-y then practical for fighting.

then she got the old school ninja outfit that was pink and purple.

I dunno about Psylocke, but Jean was a fashion model, X-men 48 when they lived civilian lives for a bit after Prof X "died".

Thanks JP. Looks like they're going to make Leech look similar to the comic book.

 

[TNC9852002]

Hmmm...They need him with hair AND without, eh?...

[americanguy96]

I look the casting, the kid is a decent actor for his age. This is just another brilliant, yet subtle casting for the franchise.

To be quite honest... I thought about renting the two movies but I have heard that leech wasn't in them and I could get more information from all of you. As for xavier's school... well lets just say that I must have been more into Barbies and Jem than x-men. lol (I know, pretty sad eh?!)

i know that Psylocke was something along those lines before becoming an X-Man or i'm confusing her with someone else. but i'm pretty sure Psylocke was.

but back on topic:

this kid is gonna be great as Leech
