The Official will.i.am/John Wraith Discussion Thread

[def28]

Still trying to figure out why they casted Will I Am.WTF, They just called him up? That seems to be the case with a majority of the Team X Actors.

Why didnt they cast someone with acting experience? Everyone else they casted seems like a great choice.Are they just Trying to get the pop music demographic to see Wolverine? Everyone will see this flick regardless.

Yea don't get the Will.i.am thing either. And the Tyler Perry thing too...they just called these guys?!...How desperate does that sound?

Oh yeah...the Agent Zero actor was just called up and offered the job w/o auditioning.

 

[def28]

Dominic Monaghan was called up last minute too. If I remember correctly.

If Will I Am didnt audition, I think its safe to say a majority of the cast did not as well.

And the studio worries about the color of painted sets and a Director who only has done two flicks. I think casting someone with no acting experience in a film without audtioning them is something to worry about a little more. Even if he does a good job, hes still gonna stick out as the guy from BEP.

Oh well, two and half months left.

Will I Am did auditioned! He said so himself. Apparently even argued with the casting director on the nature of the character.

“You don’t understand, check this out, this is how much of a fan I am. I went to the casting right, and they asked me if I knew about X-Men. I was like, ‘Pssh, I know X-Men.’ They were like, ‘Yeah, you know, you’re gonna play a teleporter.’ And I was like, ‘You mean like Night Crawler?’ ‘Night Crawler wasn’t a teleporter.’ ‘Yes he was a teleporter! The dude was a teleporter!” he recalled, giggling. “He would be on the walls, and he was in the Presidential office disappearing and people couldn’t really hit him. He was like, disappearing, poof poof. I was like, ‘Yo, I’m telling you, homey.’ I’m a fan of X-Men.”

Usually, if you've already landed a part, you don't have to go to the casting.

 

[def28]

huh, my bad.

Still, WTF? They called him?

Ill be fair and judge when the flick comes out. Just really thought they could have picked a trained actor.

Wait...did he call him Wrath?

 

[Juggernaut33]

huh, my bad.

Still, WTF?

How so?
The guy had no acting experience prior to that but that doesn't mean he can't act. Or is it just because he is a rapper?

Common is a rapper and his acting skill is pretty good.

Four, actually.

 

[def28]

Your right Common is a good actor and Will Smith, but that doesnt mean all rappers are.


Its not cause hes a rapper. Its because hes in one of the most annoying groups I ever heared of, and there are alot of good acotrs out there they could have been chosen. So to that I say WTF.

 

[def28]

Four, actually.

I see...

Then he has plenty of experience. Fox needs to give the dude a break.

 

[Hypestyle]

hope the character lives until another film..

 

[Aluchak]

John Wraith dies in this movie.

You can see his body in the pile over there.

 

[PWN3R]

Nice catch.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I would say he could be knocked out, but I'm guessing Sabretooth killed him.

 

[tamron]

I hope he doesn't say some garbage about "being a company man" before Sabes does him in. Ugh.

 

[sniktsnakt]

Wow. I didn't notice that. *Very* sharp eyes!

 

[Juggernaut33]

Good eye, man. Good eye. Well I guess we all knew that was coming since Wraith died in a similar fashion in Benioff's draft, at the hands of Creed.

 

[the a1ant]

Creed is such a bada$$. Terrifying. Poor Wraith.

 

[Savage]

Nice. No matter what incarnation, Sabretooth kills Wraith. t:

 

[EnDz0n3]

Will.i.am Dies. Yes!

 

[Congo Jack]

I hope he doesn't say some garbage about "being a company man" before Sabes does him in. Ugh.

I have it on good authority that the last words he says are "Root-a-toot-aaarrrgghhhh!"

 

[sniktsnakt]

New trailer shot of Wraith teleporting away from Creed.

Cool stuff.

 

[EnDz0n3]

Is that how he manifests his teleportation powers in the comics? Coz that just looks asinine... LOL

 

[sniktsnakt]

He like . . . fades away outside in . . .
