Scott Madej's site launched...

[Sun_Down]

Cause if it is gambit,he was in the film untill that dick-head vaugh came along,so thay better be talking about a young xavier.

And how exactly do you know that?

Oh yes, you don't.

 

[spideycents]

they put a picture up of him at his site. how ironic that he doesn't get that up there until after his announcement. sort of anticlimatic!!! http://www.scottmadej.com/

 

[TNC9852002]

Hmmmm....interesting..

[spideycents]

interesting indeed. my theory is that the powers that be don't want him to say he has been cast until an official announcement has been made or something. i know y'all do not want to hear that tho! just my thought after reading another board.

EDIT: at the bottom of his site it says copyright renstein management. somone said that is the same management company that works with The Donners' Company. ??? I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE.

Fox just needs to just say something about everything. if they're shooting in august, everything should be set.

 

[texasgrrl15]

I have a horrible feeling that Gambit isnt going to be in the movies. Darn. I don't like Jubilee either. What a useless power.

He's.......skinny isn't he? Looks like he's about 15 in that picture, on his way out the door to get on the bus for high school. Hmmmm.........................

 

[afmvdp]

why are people still refering to this? he made it rather obvious that he's not going to be in this movie at least. So why is it still being talked about?

Also wasn't it already debunked that he was being thought of for young xavier, since young xavier was actually a character for the magneto solo movie, not for x3 anyway? So I'm certain it may anger the gambit-ites but it does appear that he will not be in this movie, no matter how much you want to change the color of the sky.

But a lotta romours said that Gambit'll be in the movie!!! I really really really wanna see Gambit, I mean they put Beast in, so why not Gambit?

 

[afmvdp]

it's just that though. there were also rumors that angel was going to be a girl. Also as stated in his response, it was a character that "was" in an initial script but isn't anymore. Another initial writeup rumor was that he was going to be in it for a very short cameo only, more to appease fans of the series than having a relevance to the plot. So as it stands now it seems unlikely gambit would be in it, as I'm pretty certain that fox would release that info especially in these rougher media times to appease the uproar of the fanboys if they had that type of news.

Seeing as this is likely going to be the last X film, I am just hoping they wrap it up well rather than just trying to toss in every character under the sun.

Ultimately, I think it came down to them having an idea to use Beast in the plot that they didn't have for Gambit. Yeah, it sucks but i could see why they wouldn't use him. Now Gambit will be the only popular X-man to NOT appear in one of the films (yep, it's true. It ain't like Bishop or Pyslocke are THAT popular).

 

[Chick]

Aww man! But Gambit is popular, just like you said! Fox has to consider us Gambit fans to put him in the movie! Heck, we were all waiting for him to make an appearance since Bryan Singer announced that he'll make X-2 >< And we're all waiting for him now . . .

Are you forgetting where Ratner said that Gambit wouldn't have a BIG role in the movie. I think that pretty much means he'll have a small one. Read it again.

 

[diabolical]

Gambit's in. And the way Kinberg puts it I'd say it's not a Cameo,like a few shots,he's probably just a secondary character,but hey,that's good enough for me,and that opens the door that if there's an x4....count him in it bigger. Angel is also now confirmed. www.**************.com or www.xmenfilms.net
Read the KINBERG interview to get that info.

 

[Chick]

@diabolical: What do you mean by secondary role?

 

[diabolical]

@diabolical: What do you mean by secondary role?

Probably along the lines of what Iceman was in X1,if it was a cameo,I think he woulda just up and said it,it's easier then dancing around a subject. His exact words are he isn't a MAJOR character. The same was said back in the day about Iceman and such for X2.I'll find that later and post it. He was a "secondary character" in x2,Colos was a cameo. There's a pretty big difference,cameo=sucks,2nd char=not as bad as it sounds. Besides nobody really expected him to play a huge role like Jean and such.

 

[Chick]

But Kinberg said that, Gambit's not a major chatacter. What I interperted was that Gambit's not a major character enough to be in the movie! Kinberg was sorta dodging the question too . . .

 

[psylockolussus]

there is nothin' on that site

 

[Chick]

it's on xmenfilms.net

 

[spideycents]

I just checked Madej's site and he posted this under his blog...

"Lastly, some of the emails have referred to X-Men. The role that I was up for was small, and as far as I know, it wasn't one the characters that I have seen associated with my name in recent weeks. Whether those other characters appear in the script or not is beyond me as I was not privy to the entire script. There were also two different scripts in consideration at the time I was being considered. Hopefully this settles that?"

Yeah but his comment was
He's not a major character IN THE MOVIE.

 

[Mister Sinister]

Anyone else notice that Scott Madej doesn't have an IMDB page?

 

[spideycents]

yeah ultimate...we've been over and around that. he has never done feature film or television as far as know. although, under his about section their is a listing of filmography, but nuttin is there.

 

[Retroman]

Though this might interest some - Scott Madej is relaunching his site yet again: http://www.scottmadej.com/

I wonder what role he read for? Young Xavier, Young Hank, Young Erik or one of the mutants Magnetos frees from the Alcatraz? Is is possible that they decided to put this back in the script?

 

[Avalanche]

He needs to just leave the site up for a change rather than constantly relaunching it.

 

[Retroman]

UPDATE!
Scott Madej was up for the role of Gambit after all! Remylebeau, a member of the Countingdown.com forums, contacted Mr.Madej who finally confessed.

He Audtioned for Gambit! (Finally it is revealed)

Ok so i e-mailed Scott Madej recently and asked him well as it was nearer the time the movie will be released could you give us a hint on who you audition for. Not expecting a response... he replyed back.

It was gambit he auditioned for. But looks like they recast wonder if it was Josh Holloway?

Anyone want to see my e-mail - just e-mail me on _____________________


His e-mail did quote the following.

Hi James

Yes, I read and did screen testing around this time last year. The role was
Gambit. I believe it was recast, and eventually cut from the script. I'm
currently attached to a few other projects at the moment, so look out for those.

Thanks for writing )

Scott
