Ok, so i have given this alot of thought of late about how we would reboot a franchise like X-Men.
I came up with several problems. one being that the x-men franchise is to vast, we have over 50 decades of stories that we just simply couldnt explore in one let alone three movies of a rebooted franchise.
Alot of the problem stems with having each movie it's own story at the same time continuing the saga. It worke for X-Men 1 and 2, But 3 really messed it up. Although as i have stated before i liked X-Men 3, but felt it was too different a feel to consider it x-men 3.
So i thought lets break it down. What would all fans want, how many rebooted movies should be made and how will it fit in together.
I went throw several genre's of movies to see large continations of films. Aliens, Die Hard, Pirates Of The Carribbean, Matrix and so on and so on. But with no luck.
Then i remembered. Lord Of The Rings... Essentially one giant story that they had to make three movies about it... huge cast with a massive budget and a director who would make it look good and i thought, thats what we need. Lord of the rings has been rebooted several times in the past. Id say its most recent reincarnation on the big screen was largely succesful.
So what kind of epic story would you tell that would need to told over three movies. Well this is where it all became relatively simple. It's the classic "Humans vs Mutants" story that has played out throughtout the comics for years.
Now you could say we already had this with x-men 1 to 3. Yes but each of those movies were hold upon there own.
Think of it this way,
Magneto is waging a war on human kind. Human kind are prepairing for war against the mutants. To stop this war, we have the X-Men that are caught in the middle. Through in a few intermixing storylines...
Think of the way you could introduce certain aspects of the story.
Xavier leading the x-men, Cyclop learning to be a leader. Xavier falls and the team find help with Wolverine. However the humans are being manipulated by two different parties one being the hellfire club the other being Mr.Sinister who has his own personal interests. Then we have Magneto upon his utopia of Genosha. all coming to a final battle in movie 3 where the world is reshaped...
Personally "The House Of M" would be an excellent reboot for the franchise.
