Exclusive Interview w/James Marsden 06/02/06

[Jan Irisi]

I'd have liked val kilmer for cyke, but whatever.

Possible. It would have made the Wolverine/Cyclops dynamic a bit more interesting. Maybe that was what was missing. A dynamic between the two characters.

 

[Jan Irisi]

I really wish people would stop blaming Halle Berry's alleged "Ego" for demanding a more substantive role for Storm. She clearly did what many of wish James Marsden had done. She heard from the fans and knew that the character she was forced to portray on film did not resemble the same character in the comics that most of us loved. Her star power and oscar gave her the clout to demand these changes, i believe for the better. I loved Storm in the 3rd film. Unfortunatly James marsden did not have the same star power so he had to take what he was given, a loss for us all. =/

And ragging on Jackman???? What the hell did he do? Kill puppies?

 

[Kurosawa]

Why do you do that? And expect people to take anything you have to say seriously?

Apologist.

 

[Darthphere]

Halle Berry has an ego, its undeniable. Shes one of the main reasons Singer left. Either way all 3 X-Men movies were the WOlverine show. Everybody else was just a cameo.

 

[vanillacyke]

Possible. It would have made the Wolverine/Cyclops dynamic a bit more interesting. Maybe that was what was missing. A dynamic between the two characters.

This was the film where the two were supposed to team up. Put there feelings towards one another behind them for the greater good, which in doing so they would learn to really respect one another and develop a unique friendship.

 

[Jan Irisi]

Apologist.

And you sir simply sound like a bitter whiney spoiled fanboy. I don't know whether to pity you or laugh out loud at you. I think I'll laugh and save the pity for someone who actually deserves it.

 

[Infinity9999x]

Marsden - Yesterday I was at McDonald's with my son and this guy was like, 'so, do you and Wolverine go at it in the third reel?'

That would have been cool to see Scott letting it all out at Logan rofl

I was really hoping for a confrontation between those two simmilar to "Gifted" that would have been fricking awesome.

 

[Abaddon]

Agreed.

 

[Abaddon]

Halle Berry has an ego, its undeniable. Shes one of the main reasons Singer left. Either way all 3 X-Men movies were the WOlverine show. Everybody else was just a cameo.

Judging from the some of the older interviews,some other cast members didn't get along too well with Singer either.

 

[The Batman]

Which ones?

I know jackman and obviously marsden did get along with him

 

[Jan Irisi]

Which ones?

I know jackman and obviously marsden did

Alan Cumming ring a bell?

 

[Darthphere]

Alan Cumming ring a bell?

Alan Cumming wasnt mad at Singer, he was mad that he had to spend 8 hours in make-up.

 

[Darthphere]

Judging from the some of the older interviews,some other cast members didn't get along too well with Singer either.

Well Halle was the leader of the now famous Coup on set.

 

[The Batman]

Cumming obviously did...i know that, and halle didnt like him either.

i always got the sense from the cast that, while they liked his directing skills, they didnt like him as a person...

 

[Retroman]

Alan Cumming wasnt mad at Singer, he was mad that he had to spend 8 hours in make-up.

I loved Cumming's performance as Nightcrawler but the way he belittles X2 and Singer is sickening. No wonder they didn't ask him to return.

 

[Abaddon]

Well Halle was the leader of the now famous Coup on set.

And what "coup" was this?Singer left because of the pressure Fox was putting on him.

 

[The Batman]

Alan Cumming wasnt mad at Singer, he was mad that he had to spend 8 hours in make-up.

Cumming flat out admitted he didnt like working with singer

 

[Abaddon]

Alan Cumming wasnt mad at Singer, he was mad that he had to spend 8 hours in make-up.

That too,but he did voice some negative opinions about Singer.

 

[Retroman]

Cumming obviously did...i know that, and halle didnt like him either.

i always got the sense from the cast that, while they liked his directing skills, they didnt like him as a person...

Stewart, Famke, Jackman, Ashmore, Marsden and others would disagree.

 

[Abaddon]

Cumming obviously did...i know that, and halle didnt like him either.

i always got the sense from the cast that, while they liked his directing skills, they didnt like him as a person...

That couldve been the case.I think for the most part they all respected him,but he may have been a bit of a jerk on set.

 

[The Batman]

Stewart, Famke, Jackman, Ashmore, Marsden and others would disagree.

I already mentioned before how marsden and jackman obviously liked singer. The others i wasnt too sure about

 

[Darthphere]

Its funny how everyone the X-cast seems to hate Singer but you have guys like McKellan and Spacey work with him over and over again.

 

[The Batman]

Its funny how everyone the X-cast seems to hate Singer but you have guys like McKellan and Spacey work with him over and over again.

Spacey isnt apart of the X cast, and i'm sure mckellan does like singer, since he worked with him before x1.

 

[TheVileOne]

Its funny how everyone the X-cast seems to hate Singer but you have guys like McKellan and Spacey work with him over and over again.

And Marsden .

 

[Superman \S/]

Cumming flat out admitted he didnt like working with singer

A link would be nice to this statment. I doubt he did.
