fox would be crazy not to ask him after astonishing.

I'm not sure I want Whedon to direct any X-men movie.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Nah.

Characters making sense would be too much of a change of pace at this point.

And yeah, Astonishing rocks.

Hmmmm...I doubt he'd want to make a sequel to X3. He mentioned before that he'd rather start from the beginning and make the series his own.

He could possibly do a spin-off film...

I realize that Whedon has writing credits for what is infamously one of the worst lines in movie history (I think you all know which one I'm talking about).

But I'm going to defend him for a bit: That line would have fit Perfectly in an all-Whedon script. I could have seen something like that in Serenity, which is a severly underrated film.

Whedon is an amazing talent, and a huge X-Men fan, albeit one that seems to relate more to the female characters, which may throw an X-Men film off balance. That aspect would be good for the Emma Frost Spinoff.

And while his dialogue is very quirky, smart-allicky, and witty, I don't know if that would fit well with X-Men. There are always lots of great Zingers in his scripts, even when someone dies. He's good at making us laugh in a darkly-humorous kind of way, which would be great for an X-kids spinoff, but not X4.

So I'd hire Whedon for X-Kids or Emma Frost, but not X4.
But then again, Burton has his quirks, and Batman somehow worked.

I agree. I picture Buffy saying "Do you know what happens to a Toad...." and it comes out being witty, and funny. The delivery, and tone of that line in X1 was totally out of place, lol. Storm was not funny and witty in the entire film, so saying that line seemed out of character to begin with, and again, the delivery was off.

Whedon would be great for an X-Kids spin-off. Much better than Zak Penn, who is attached to bring that to life at the moment =/

 

[Angamb]

don't know what to say..... but of course, I'd preffer Whedon to Ratner, definetly. So if Fox thinks in Bret again, please, sign Whedon before!!

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

The thing is, the basic principle of the line could've worked great with a villain.

Imagine baddie laughing his a$$ off and pulling a gun at the defeated hero's head. And then him just smirking in the hero's face before saying the second part. t: t: t:

I disagree, i don't think him relating to female characters more would throw the movie off balance. That would just mean that they'd get better roles.

And the X-men movies could use a little wit. We all know Iceman hasn't been his funny self, so he could write some great lines for Gambit who is also a pretty witty guy. Off course it doesn't need to turn into a sitcom but some jokes here and there would be nice.

I have no doubt Whedon would have been a better choice than Bryan Singer for the entire franchise. They should have waited a year or 2 till he had time to do it (in 1998-1999 he was swamped making some of the best Buffy episodes and developing then making the first Angel eps).

I actually came up with a broad outline of what I would have done for the first couple movies and he ended his first movie the exact same way I ended mine. I've never seen his script (God would I love to) but I read somewhere, after I came up with my ideas(which I'm not claiming are brilliant or anything), him revealing a few things including the fact that he'd have done the Phoenix saga some justice in having it start as a cliffhanger of the first movie with Jean rising out of the water as Phoenix, just the way it happened in the comics.

Instead of the Singer franchises ass-backward and unworkable way of starting it with Jean suiciding and seeming to die. I like how Brett Ratner gets blamed for the ******ed predicament.

Not the whole franchise, but he's actually said that he'd have to write and direct a whole movie and make it his own, not neccessarily the whole franchise. But that also said, he's also publically stated that he's none too keen to work with Fox anymore after his other troubles with them. And since Fox couldn't resist poking their noses into X3 as much as possible, and if he couldn't make work out a Wonder Woman with someone very accomidating like Joel Silver, then there's no way that he could stomach working with the big wigs heading Fox.

Damn Fox

 

[Cosmic Mind]

Wow, that's sad.....It would have been interesting to see him do a X men movie....
