Singer Interested in Wolverine!

[Mysterio]

Yea and look where that got him. Superman didnt make nearly as much money as X-Men.

I'd largely blame that on the script. It was recycled from the first movie. damn, do something new.

Wolverine cried in the animated series too. I have no idea why there's such a big fuss about him crying in the movie.

God forbid Wolverine shows some emotion.

He also cried/whimpered at the end of X2 when Jean died at the lake, didn't he?

The highlight of a superhero film shouldn't be the crying scenes. I guess I'll have to wait another 20 years before they get the X-series correct. But, to each their own.

The highlight of that scene in X2 for most people is not only the emotional impact of Jean's death but realizing that she was becoming Phoenix. I guess you missed that.

I hope that Brian Singer will be not the director of the Wolverine movie, but in fact I have not appreciated the way that he has abandonned the X-Men licence for Super-Man !

PS : First msg from a french fan, so exscuse for the mistake

Welcome to the hype and no worries about spelling.

Like money is the only thing that counts. I think SR was far better movie than X3.

I hope Singer stays away from the Wolverine movie.

I think they should go with someone new but i like Singer as a director so i would be glad if he did it.As long as it doesn't clash with Supes sequel. Jackman has basically said Singer is one of the main candidates for the job. But it looks like it won't happen because of clashing schedules.

The biggest flaws with his 2 X-Men movies was that the pacing was waaaay too slow.

Ratner's X-Men's pacing was perfect.

WRONG!

Come on retro, Sups was way worse than X3. And the pick of Spacey, eventhough I had faith in the choice of him as Luthor, was awful.

Back to Singer though, it's all rumor and no truth he has too little time and is obviously not dedicated to Wolverine even if he is friends with Jackman. I mean come on....Jackman's the nicest guy in Hollywood so its too easy to be friends with him. Singer needs to worry about Sups being played as gay rather than the fact he can have time to do a Wolverine movie and make it a soft teeny flick.

I'm not bashing gays, nor gay Singer, im just saying Sups was a little fruity.

 

[storm-x-fan]

I think Singer can do it, but I dont want him to!! I like Brett ratner more.

 

[storm-x-fan]

Its writen there

Spoiler

Singer acknowledged that he has also been approached to direct the next "X-Men" movie — he directed the first two well-received films before turning over the reigns for the third installment to Brett Ratner — but said he wouldn't have time to take on another large-scale project before the next Superman gets underway. He is interested, however, in seeing the script for the "X-Men" spinoff "Wolverine."

^^ from this, i think he emans he wants 2 direct it, and not just read. and why wud he like 2 read a script which he wont direct?

It will be very difficult for Singer to direct Wolverine, considering they plan to start shooting "The Man of Steel" in January 2008.
Maybe there's a reason why Lauren Shuler-Donner is pushing to shoot Wolverine in fall.

who's Lauren Shuler-Donner?? is he a good director??

Lauren Shuler-Donner is the producer of X-Men. What she says usually goes.

If Superman starts filming in January 2008 there will be months of pre-production before that and this is why I'm doubting he could direct "Wolverine."

 

[Celestial]

I think it's the Superman pre-production that starts in early 2008. The question is whether he can do post on one and pre on another at the same time.

are you serious? Superman Returns was much better then X3. The only real flaw Returns had was that it lacked action. The main problem with Superman Returns was Singer wasn't afraid to change Superman and let him and Lois grow. Which I think is a good thing because IMO I think the movie should go down the path of James Bond and let the hero grow while still staying true to its past (Donner). That being said I think it was a good movie just alittle to mature for younger viewers.


Now on topic I do hope Singer does this movie but I doubt that will happen because if everything he says about MOS (having the biggest battle in DC history) then he will have his time filled with doing just that.

Thats because Singer is more of a story teller his pacing was fine IMO. What I find though is Singer is a good storyteller and not to good on action though. X2 is a perfect example of that mix it is a great movie with great story telling as well has great action. Thats also how he did Superman great story telling and but little action (example of that X-Men: The movie).

Well considering the major audience of X-Men and Sups want to see action I'd say he did a poor job. The story telling part he did great for X-Men. For Sups....no. The beginning when Sups comes back, I thought that was suppossed to be a dramatic scene where he's sad cause he found crypton destroyed. Nope just bad acting. And I think the fact that Lois and Sups slept together without Lois figuring that was Clark is stupid. Even if it was done in the other movies. If Clark was a super hero he would have been truthful and given up who he really is. Acting in Sups gets a thumbs down. THe best was Spacey and he even ruined Lex to me. He was more the monotone character from Seven or LA Confidential than Lex.
