Tom Rothman mentions the Letters Campaign

Ahh the fantastic 'cocoon of telekinetic energy' line. It never gets old.

LMFAO Goddessreicho t:t:t:t:

 

[Goddessreicho]

I know!! Ooo, that would been cool tho. X-babies: Take this Humans, We have lisps.

Lol, I just realized that Wolverine is the tiniest X-baby there. Aww.

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

I say:

*squishes Scott's face*

 

[Goddessreicho]

^---BWAHAHAHAaaaa! Lol @ Jean getting at Cyke for staring at Psy's behind.

Oh crap, Baby Ju-Ju is driving...

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

Well it's not like he can look at anything else right? I mean it's RIGHT there in front of him!

 

[X-Maniac]

Funny... but an X-Men: Origins movie might not be a bad idea. No expensive superstar casts, a chance for Scott and Storm's origins, a non-furry Beast and maybe some other students (but probably NOT Gambit, he deserves to be in an X4).

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

But then that would mean no Logan, no Rogue, probably no Iceman, Pyro or Shadowcat either etc...

 

[Goddessreicho]

I actually like the idea of an Orgins movie for the movie based original X-men. That's probably one of the best ideas ever announced concerning the movie-verse.

It would give the movies just about everything they have been missing concerning the one's that have been living at the Mansion.

And you right, a plot concerning drafting the original movie-verse X-men as well as the rift between Mags and Xavier would sustain a two hour movie.

 

[Hugh'sMrs]

really? I don't remember.... any link?

There is no link, it was something that was said directly to me.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

I long for a stronger Storm, a more humorous Iceman, a much sassier Rogue, a more ferocious Wolverine, a more charismatic Kitty, and a more loveable Cyke.

AKA something resembling the source material. t:

I think some of us may have to come to grips with the fact that there are a lot of politics swirling around this franchise. There are also a lot of loose ends left from X3. I predict the following:


1.) Halle Berry will become the top billed name in this franchise (let's face it people, whether we like it or not, she is their top actress, and she plays one of Marvel's top female heroines which makes it concrete)

2.) Charles Xavier will be reborn in his "new body", but he will not take back the mansion; he'll stay on side as an advisor to Storm

3.) Beast will remain

4.) IceMan will remain

5.) Rogue's powers will return (the cure will wear off naturally as hinted at the conclusion of X3)

6.) Gambit will finally be added (he'll take the "loner" position on the team that Wolverine formerly held)

7.) Emma Frost will be added (let us pray that Sigourney Weaver will still get the role--she would do brilliant and be very interesting to watch opposite Halle Berry...esp. since Storm and The White Queen are rivals

8.) Kitty will remain (look for a different actress; I don't think the last girl is going to stick either)

9.) Scott will be ressurrected and resume his role as field leader--which could provide interesting moments with Gambit

10.) Colossus will be remain

11.) And of course Magneto will return

Logan will probably make a brief cameo and then be gone...he'll have his own franchise by then and I think the studio knows people are sick of seeing him. Jean Grey will not be returning...to bring her back again would be stupid to mainstream audiences and would negate everything that happened in X3. Plus I don't think Famke is interested in coming back again...although it'd be ideal to see her opposite Scott one more time.

There are a myriad storylines they could develop featuring this "New X-Men" and still keep things fresh and innovative. With the right script and director X4 could challenge the success of its predecessors. I say keep Simon Crane for their action sequence direction, but lose Brett Ratner. I like Brett's visual style (and I appreciate what he did for Storm's character to an extent), but the ADD-styled editing made me angry...so much was lost.

I honestly read all that, but then forgot it when I clicked the Halle Berry link in your sig. LMFAO

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Heh...yeah.

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

What about Pyro and Mystique?!!! lol j/k but I want them back.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

I honestly read all that, but then forgot it when I clicked the Halle Berry link in your sig. LMFAO

Add to this day, just like her appearance in the Last Boy Scout, she claims it didn't happen.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Not aknowledging a guilty-pleasure Bruce Willis classic??? Tsk tsk tsk.

And exactly how the hell would those three statements work in the movieverse???? t:

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I want Mystique back too.

As far as Pyro...well he got his hands frostbit in X3...not sure they work anymore.

And exactly how the hell would those three statements work in the movieverse????

That's for the writers to work out. It can be done as fluidly as it's been handled in the source material, provided people know what they're doing (translation: no Simon Kinberg or Zack Penn).

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

Psh Pyro can take a little freeze, he's hotter than that

 

[Celestial]

A good list, but I disagree on a few points:

5) Rogue - I don't see Anna Paquin returning. She's not under contract (I assume) and she didn't look too thrilled during the X3 promotion.

9) Scott - they killed him off and James Marsden is still attached to Superman, so he's not coming back.

11) Magneto - I don't see Ian McKellen returning, either. Or at least not unless everyone else returns and he has a good part.

I think part of the reason they managed to get so many of the X2 cast back for X3 is that the actors wanted to work together again. Take away Hugh and Ian and you've lost your team captain and social secretary.
