Sequels X-men 4: Dawn of Reckoning

[Cyrusbales]

The thing i dont get about that is that there calling Emma Frost a spin off, yet theres nothing to spin her off of

I know, but she's such a cool character, they don't have anything to follow, so they have freedom to make the character everything she should be!

Yea, i'd want to see that movie, but knowing Fox, they'd probably stuff in Wolverine and give him the spotlight because he has "it" and is the "popular character"

 

[Cyrusbales]

, hope not, although he should be nice and busy with his own film....

 

[Sean Madrox]

I think introducing too many characters would ruin the movie. It seems like your trying to juggle alot of people with the Morlocks (seems more like the Brotherhood) and then Alex Summers coming in also. I would just keep Gambit and Emma Frost as the key chracters and have throw away charcters.

Dont worry, there all there for the sake of plot, each one of them has a role to play in the story, there not there just by me picking them out randomly.

 

[Sean Madrox]

I think I might just write a script myself lol.

Good luck with that

 

[StormCrazy]

I actually want to see a prequel to the series. I'd like to see Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm & Beast (human form) younger version (17 to 20 yrs. old) in their black & yellow uniform. Emma Frost maybe. But I want it to start with how they were recruited & trained by Professor X and Magneto when they were kids. I also want to see how Professor X and Magneto having a conflict because of different views & beliefs that led Magneto to leave the mansion and form the Brotherhood. How Magneto met Mystique, Sabertooth and Toad. How Prof. X got crippled. My villain would be The Hellfire Club which will have connections to Emma Frost. I don't know maybe she works as a spy for the Hellfire Club. Emma pretends to be good and backstabs the X-Men at the end. Emma-Cyclops-Jean triangle. Beast transforming from human to beast and the reason why he left the team. Havok can be a member too, but with conflicts with his brother Scott forced him to leave the team and form his own team X-Factor.

I don't know maybe if they do a prequel it would open up new stories and bring back "new old" team mates like Emma Frost for future sequels.

 

[The Ones]

Everyone i wont be able to post updates for atleast 2 weeks. Im going away in an hour

 

[ntcrawler]

The thing i dont get about that is that there calling Emma Frost a spin off, yet theres nothing to spin her off of

That, plus killing off 1/2 the main cast won't leave her with anyone fun to play with. I mean let's face it, the chemistry just isn't the same without Scott to seduce or Jean to trade evil glances with.

It's not a movie, but there are some great novels and stories out there that deal with this very topic, how everyone got together, and how things got started. Here are a few:

"Echo", by N.J. Borba
http://www.angelfire.com/art/Kaleidoscope/ECHO.htm
It's actually an alternate X3 novel, but it has plenty of flashbacks that deal with how things got started for Xavier, Jean's early days, the breakup between Xavier and Magneto, and Magneto's ordeal in the concentration camps

"Special: The Genesis of Cyclops" by Minisoonoo
http://www.themedicinewheel.net/special/special.html
A series of stories and books dealing with how everyone got started, from Scott turning his life around from a homeless street walker to the hero we know of today, and how everyone played a role, including the creation of Xavier's school and the X-men

"An ACcidental Interception of Fate"
http://www.themedicinewheel.net/accidental/accidental.html
How Scott and Jean met, how the X-men were formed, how they met the other team members, and how and why things turned out the way they did by the time we get to X1. This one is a bit more light-hearted than "Special"

"Rebirth and Awakenings", by Juliebmr
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1606009/1/
The story of how Scott went from a broken orphan and became a man, thanks to Xavier, Hank, and a certain red-headed medical student. Shows the creation of the X-men and how Xavier's went from being an institute to a school

"Scylla and Charybdis", by Juliebmr
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1923431/1/
Sequel to "Rebirth", deals with Scott's college years. The breakup with Jean, the seduction and temptations of Emma, and further development of the creation of Xavier's school and the X-men becoming a fully fledged tactical counter-terrorism superhero unit that we recognize today.

Hope this helps fuel some imagination!

this is so true. i mean with emma, we need to see scott or jean. it just wouldn't make sense.

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

Hey, The Ones, I've read it all and i'm really enjoying it! Although I am a little bit sad not to see anything with Wolverine.... please continue!

 

[The Ones]

My deep, im glad your enjoying it. And Wolverine's short role in this X-4 will be compensated in X-5. Although he wont be the Wolverine the majority knows and loves. Next part could be coming sooner than you think

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

haha. naw. I don't think Wolverine should have a big role at all. As much as a fan I am, I think he's gotten enough attention. But please continue.

Part 7

Ext. City

We see the horizon of city buildings. Heat haze is coated over the camera as the X-jet glides down into view from the top, the camera scrolls down and shows the X-jet from top view. It is clear they are landing in a deserted area of the city.

Int. X-jet

We cut to inside the X-jet. All of the X-men are strapped in. They begin to unbuckle and head toward the back. Storm hits a button on the control panel and a ramp descends from the back. The X-men walk down the ramp.

Ext: X-jet

Storm:
Ok, we split up into pair’s

Emma:
Split up?? Were splitting up? Is that wise?

Storm:
Yes, this way we get to cover more ground.

Emma:
But im not all that comfortable on my own.

Storm:
I said we are going to pair’s

Emma walk’s over to Colossus and puts her arm around him.

Emma:
I want to pair up with this one.

Colossus stares at Emma in complete horror. He is obviously uncomfortable

Kitty:
What? Colossus doesn’t have to pair up with you if he doesn’t want to.

Colossus:
Thanks Kitty

Emma looks offended and moves away from Colossus.

Ice-man:
No problem kitty, she can pair with me instead

Emma walks over to Ice-man and puts his arm around him.

Emma:
Oh Bobby, I know you will take care of me.

Ice-man:
Uh….yea…Of course I will.

Emma:
That makes me feel much better. Oh Bobby, thank you.


The rest of the team look at this in a weird way. We cut to a close up of Kitty, who is obviously pissed that Bobby just wants to get together with any hotty that walk’s by. Even worse that Emma actually wanted it.

Storm:
Alright, well one pair is set up. Kitty, you go with Colossus. Beast, you go with Nightcrawler, and Angel your with me.

They all assemble into there assigned pairs and then move off. Emma walks off hugging Bobby close to her, clearly making Kitty jealous. Colossus notices Kitty’s reaction and seem’s hurt by it. Angel lifts his wings up and start’s to fly, Storm’s eyes turn white and lift herself in the air and flies after Angel. We cut to Nightcrawler and Beast.

Beast:
So you’re blue to? Something tells me you don’t have an animal ego

Nightcrawler:
Of course not, check it out.

Nightcrawler disappears in a cloud of toxic blue smoke. He appears on the other side of Beast in the same blue smoke.

Beast:
How astonishing.

Nightcrawler:
Indeed, so let’s go find this Scott character there all worried about.

Int. Morlocks base

We cut to a closed in shot of the sewer’s. From the side of the frame, we see a playing card emitting a yellow energy glide past and explode. The camera moves to the right and we see Gambit in a gargoyle pose flicking cards in front of him in boredom. Rogue is sitting next to him, looking around cautiously. We cut to Sabretooth, who is eyeing her menacingly. Rogue looks around and breaks the unsettling silence by talking.

Rogue:
So, what do you guys eat?

Toad looks around and spots a rat scurrying past. He opens his mouth and sends his tongue flying to the rat. The tongue wraps around the rat and pulls it into Toad’s mouth. Toad swallows and replies

Toad:
Whatever comes around, I guess.

Rogue looks in disgust

Rogue:
Could I have something that’s nice please?

Gambit:
If Mademoiselle is hungry, I’d be happy to take her out for a bite

Rogue:
I could use something more appetising than Toads face

Toad looks to Rogue in a disgusted way.

Gambit gets up and walks to the exit, with Rogue following

Ext. Alleyway.

Kitty and Colossus run down an Alleyway. Colossus spots a dead end but keeps running to it. As he run’s forward he metal’s up and smashes his way through the wall. He turns back to Kitty, who has a concerned look on her face

Kitty:
You know, I could have quietly phased both of us through the wall harmlessly.

Colossus demetals

Colossus:
Sorry. Next time for sure

Kitty walks past Colossus smiling and steps through the large hole in the wall. Colossus trails after her.

Colossus:
What’s funny?

Kitty:
Nothing, its just we can get about this town so easily. I can’t imagine how terribly humiliated Bobby must be with that *****.

Ext. Nightclub

Bobby is waiting outside a nightclub, pacing up and down past the door, looking in occasionally

Int. Nightclub

We cut to Emma Frost in front of 3 large guy’s by a pool table, each of them looking at Emma doing different poses relating to each word she say’s

Emma:
Tall…um…has a large build…um, wears read sunglasses…have you seen him?

All 3 of the men shake there heads slowly, looking at Emma like she’s a freak. A man walks up behind Emma and places his hand on her shoulder.

Man:
Hey cutie! You don’t have to try and turn on boy’s I know someone you can set you up with work?

Emma:
What? Are you suggesting that I am?

Man:
Well aren’t you?

Emma:
Oh god no. Im not an unemployed scrounger

Man:
So you’re not a hooker?

Emma looks shocked and appalled

Emma:
How dare you even think I would even consider being that!

Emma turns her first into diamonds and grabs the man’s hand on her shoulder and crushes it. The man is sent to the floor in pain and screaming. She turns around but is sprayed in the face with pepper spray by one of the 3 men. She is thrown back and clutches her eyes. The other 2 men grab her arms and hold them out. The 3rd man takes out a knife and holds it to her throat. Emma is in fear. We see a P.O.V of Emma and it is blurred vision, but we can make out the man and the knife

Man with knife:
Im going to teach this mutant ***** a lesson in manners

He is about to cut deep but something draw’s his gaze.

Bobby (off-screen):
You two need to cool off

We cut to a behind shot of the man threatening Emma and we see the 2 men holding Emma have frozen. Bobby comes in fully Iced up.

Bobby:
And I'm gonna teach you how to respect a Lady!

Emma (dazed):
Ice-man?

Bobby (quiet, deadly tone of voice):
Let. Her. Go

The only man left drops his knife in horror, stares at his 2 frozen buddy’s and runs off

Bobby smirks and takes hold of Emma and walks out

Ext. Nightclub

Bobby and Emma walk out, Bobby de-ices

Emma (almost in tears):
You didn't have to do that. I could have protected myself by changing into my other form

Bobby:
You didn't look like you could protect yourself, so I thought I'd save you the trouble…What the hell happened in there?

Emma just starts crying and hugs Bobby tight while crying on his shoulder.

Emma:
Thank you Bobby…Thank…

Emma continues to cry

Bobby:
Shh…it’s ok


Ext. City

We cut to the city with Rogue and Gambit walking through it.

Rogue:
How does that green skinned thing get so big eating food like that? It boggles the mind

Gambit:
It’s best not to think about it, pretty lady.

Rogue:
How do you expect to pay for the food?

Gambit:
I got my share of ideas

Gambit bumps into a woman dressed in a fur coat.

Gambit:
Sorry ma’am

Gambit walk’s further and show’s Rogue a wallet.

Rogue:
Did you just steal that from her?

Gambit:
Of course I did.

Rogue:
Why?

Gambit:
It’s how we get by. Morlocks is a thief’s guild, surely you must know.

Rogue:
No! What makes you think I want anything to do with crime? Or this so called guild for that matter.

Gambit:
You didn’t think twice about stealing from that dreaded shop keeper. I considered you ripe for us.

Rogue:
I was desperate!

Gambit:
Are you not desperate now?

Rogue starts to think for a minute

Gambit:
Look, it’s your call, if you want to starve, I’ll return this now.

Gambit starts walking back to the woman. But Rogue stops him

Rogue:
Wait. Ok but just this once. After that I’m returning to my real home. I don’t want to steal to get by in life

Gambit:
I understand Cherie. Well I enjoyed hanging out with you. See you around young lady.

Gambit hands her the wallet and walks off.

Rogue:
You can come back with me.

Gambit stops. He turns around and looks back at Rogue

Gambit:
Are you certain about that?

Rogue:
Why not, you’re nice enough.

Gambit cracks a faint smile

Gambit:
It’s in my nature. So where is this home of yours?

Rogue:
It’s the Xavier Institute. It’s in Westchester.

Gambit:
How in god’s love do you expect to get to Westchester?

Rogue:
I’m sure you’ve got your share of ideas.

Gambit gives of a faint laugh.

Rogue:
Come on, im hungry.


Ext: Messy City.

We cut to a shot of a rooftop. From the side of the frame we see Beast jumping in with a huge growl. The camera follows him round and behind him Nightcrawler summersaults onto the roof. Beast lands in a gargoyle pose and proceeds to turn to Nightcrawler.

Beast:
So, any idea’s on how to find this guy

Nightcrawler:
None at all.

Beast:
How are we meant to find him in a city this big?

Nightcrawler:
Cant you just, um….sniff him out?

Beast looks at Nightcrawler in a weird way

Nightcrawler:
Im sorry, I just thought…

Beast:
My friend, although my olfactory senses are almost equivalent to that of a bloodhound, I'm afraid that in a city of this size and without a trail to start from, my ability to locate Cyclops is rather limited

Nightcrawler:
Your vocabulary knows no bounds does it old Herr Beast?

Beast:
You have no idea how much I dislike that name

Ext: Alleyway

We cut to Emma in tears and Bobby holding her as they travel down an alleyway.

Bobby:
Can you at least describe what happened?

Emma (in tears):
It was horrible…I…they thought I was a hooker

Emma continues to cry onto Bobby’s shoulder. Bobby starts to stoke Emma’s hair and proceeds to the back. Emma responds by doing the same action. Bobby lifts her head up and stares into her eyes. Emma looks into his eyes and smiles. He moves in for a kiss but Emma moves away in shock

Emma:
What are you doing?

Bobby:
I was just.... I was... um..

Emma:
WHAT?

Emma pushes Bobby away

Bobby:
What? I thought you wanted to be with me

Emma:
I was just doing that to make your ex jealous

Bobby (looking sad):
I see

Emma:
Bobby, I appreciate your advances and signs of affection towards me and I realize how attractive you find me, but this is hardly the time and place to start a relationship. Besides, it wouldn't work anyways. You're a little young for me

Bobby:
Ok I understand. Let’s continue to look

Emma has a guilty look on her face, almost sympathetic but shrugs it off and follows Bobby

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

very interesting. keep it up

 

[The Ones]

very interesting. keep it up

Writing the next part now

 

[TKing]

Writing the next part now

Can't wait.

 

[Sagittarius1]

Comments? Advice? Thoughts?

Do you like it? Should i continue?

whatever you do, don't forget the emphasis the mutant prejudice and
persecution.

remember that the Xmen is unique, dramatic and much more than a pure superhero, special effects film.

 

[Trevor Goodchild]

Whatever review I write always turns out bitter than I originally intend.
So please don’t take it personally, if the following seems cold to you:
I enjoyed the start, especially with Scott. But so far the story has been moving towards the sole purpose to get every old and new character (re)introduced and joining the bunch. There are some good emotional moments like with Kitty and Piotor and some character development but mostly a lot of small talk and little activity. I believe it’s time for some real action already.
The pace reminds me that of X3’s and in my opinion you’re doing the same mistake of introducing significant characters from the X-Men universe and giving them small background roles just like the last movie did.
I’m sure you plan to give everyone enough screen time later on but the real trick is to introduce enough of each one from the get go, so no one feels left out.
Overall, you’re pretty good. I like you’re dialogue.
But remember, there's nothing more annoying than a character explaining his own thoughts, actions and plot points. Sometimes it's better to let actions speak for themselves.
I honestly can’t wait to read more.

 

[flavio_lebeau]

i like that gambit/rogue talk

 

[storm-x-fan]

Wow great!!

 

[The Ones]

Decided to start writing this again, very short part but ive just started. Expect more soon:


Int. Waterlogged cave

We see a rat scurry past, the sound of the thin water beneath its feet echo’s through the cave. The rat stops and nibbles at a piece of mouldy food. 2 black eyes come into focus in the background, scrutinising the rat. It becomes clear it’s Sabretooth. A large pink tongue swoops in off screen and lifts the rat up surprising Sabretooth We cut to Toad who has his Tongue extended, reeling in the rat. The rat helplessly lands in his mouth and Toad starts to chew. The sounds of blood and bones cracking can be heard.

Sabretooth:
Will you stop doing that?

Toad:
Sorry, missed lunch

We cut to Quicksilver sitting next to Wanda, who is obviously disgusted

Quicksilver:
Todd, none of us have anything to eat. Stop thinking about your self for a while

Wanda:
Pietro stop it…

Quicksilver:
Why? We all know what the problem is. Its that prick Remy LeBeau. Forcing us to stay down here like rats, making a mockery of our existence!

Avalanche:
Gambit is the best chance we got of survival.

Quicksilver:
Do you really want to carry on living here Dominic? Enduring the constant smell of dead rats and annoying Toad’s.

Sabretooth:
What are you suggesting?

Quicksilver:
I may know someone who can help us…

Sabretooth:
Who?

Quicksilver:
It’s not someone I know personally, but, they’re related to me

Wanda’s eyes widen

Wanda:
Quicksilver, don’t even think about it, you remember what he did to us.

Quicksilver:
Yes, but now we don’t have to fear him any more

Avalanche:
We’ve been down here for 3 months Pietro and now you decide to mention it now?

Quicksilver:
Gambit promised us solitude. I was foolish enough to believe him.

Quicksilver looks to Wanda

Quicksilver:
Now its time to find an old enemy of ours
