I'm not sure if this has be posted.

As a matter of fact, I hadn’t read the script that we shot. We weren’t allowed to do that. All you read was the scene that you had and you never saw the script at all.

Interesting

 

[Crimson Warrior]

I think they did that on X2 as well. Taking all precautions so things wont get leaked, but they just do sometimes.

 

[*xmenfan*]

[Ursavior01]

no problem. We needed something new to read .

 

[_JayR_]

Awesome

[Anton Oksehud]

I think this quote is interesting:



So having seen both films, and then being directed by Ratner, could you tell there if the style will be different?


BD: I think that there are details to a degree. A lot of stuff was against the green screen and I did not get to work with all of the actors at one time, but with the green screen, we were told what happened before and what happened after; so you’re acting to a black screen but his description of that was very dramatic and very vivid.



Trask acting against a green screen.... Hmmmmm...

 

[MutantMetalhead]

Yeah..I don't quite understand the use of the name Trask if he doesn't really have much to with the original character.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I know, Nell.

I'm still gonna try to hold out some hope. I think there's still some left to hold out. But...

(P.S.: Isn't kind of weird that they held out Gambit because they wanted to "get him right" and "do him justice", yet they are changing up Bolivar Trask?)

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Well in all fairness to them. Trask isn't as popular as a character as Gambit and if they changed him up the repercussions wouldn't be as dangerous as changing Gambit.

 

[_JayR_]

I agree.

 

[Exploding Boy]

Its like hes not Trask at all they just couldnt think of a differnt name so they used that one.

 

[MutantMetalhead]

"Well, Senator Kelly and Henry Gyrich are already dead..what names are still available?"

 

[BMM]

Graydon Creed . . . I don't know.

Every name doesn't necessarily have to be representative of someone from the comics, which is why I would have preferred someone else rather than alter Trask's character. If sentinels are involved, however, and they needed to use Trask, I wish they would have done him right.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

He'd probably come off like Stryker, that's why they changed him.

 

[TigerClaw]

Graydon Creed . . . I don't know.

If I'm not mistaken, Graydon Creed is the son of Sabertooth. It would've been interesting to see that character iin a X-Men movie. Hes the one that started this faction called the Friends Of Humanity, Which is an anti-mutant group.

 

[eXperiment]

Its like hes not Trask at all they just couldnt think of a differnt name so they used that one.

Yeah, seriously. I really hope he turns evil.

 

[Roma]

Most of the movie goers don't even now the name Trask, changing his charcter will go unnoticed to many. Gambit is a little more mainstream, it makes sence.

 

[BBraddockLover]

good read

 

[Avalanche]

(P.S.: Isn't kind of weird that they held out Gambit because they wanted to "get him right" and "do him justice", yet they are changing up Bolivar Trask?)

Because Trask only has a small role. They want to bring Gambit in as a main character. Completely different situations.

creating and unleashing the Sentinel on young innocent mutants

?
