Sequels X-Men: New Hope

[Jennifer Walters]

EXT. ICEMAN'S AREA – SAME TIME

Iceman and Pyro are duking it fist to fist, no powers, when Cecilia runs upon them.

CECILIA
Bobby! We're needed.

ICEMAN
I'm a little tied up at the moment.

Cecilia throws up a shield and suddenly lashes it forward in the shape of a sword towards Pyro, he's knocked off his footing and then iced completely to the ground by Iceman.

PYRO
This won't hold me long Bobby!
.
ICEMAN
It'll hold ya long enough. See ya later, Johnny boy.

CECILIA
Come on! Let's go.

Cecilia and Iceman begin to walk off in the direction of the other X-Men.

I've been following this for a while now, and I'm glad that we have an update. Actually two updates (I won't count this last one). I can't wait for the conclusion. Good work JAB

 

[Ororocity]

[TKing]

Nice to see an update. Looking forward to the conclusion.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

As am I. As am I.

 

[otrock]

Thanks for the update. My trip to Kansas hasn't been going well so far, but this helps brighten up my day. Well, I am off to happy hour!! Look forward to more later.

 

[otrock]

Will we see more soon? Please tell me yes!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Yes. I realize it's been 8 days. I'm gonna do my best to get some up this week.

 

[PeRfEcT_StOrM]

wow..that script is spectacular! kudos!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Thanks. Thanks.

 

[RagingTempest]

Well, it's about time!!! LOL!!!t:

Great updates, your script keeps getting better!!! I love how you describe the fight scenes as well!!!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Some more coming this weekend. Gotta keep busy.

Well I finally read it all. I must say, it's been pretty damn brilliant. You've corrected a lot of the horrendous problems X3 created. Just a couple questions/observations:

1. Where's Dust? Not that I like her but she was given a name and good showing of her powers early on and then just disappeared.

2. I was very disappointed with the Pyro/Iceman battle. It seemed to be even weaker then the one in X3, this time Iceman seemed to pretty much dominate the entire battle. From what I read Iceman didn't seem to fully ice-up (which he did in X3), ice-slides & no fire-creatures from Pyro. That's Pyro's power, to conduct (not create) fire. There seemed to be nothing new brought to this battle. It could have been epic, like in the X3 video game.

3. Sorta the same thing with the Magneto/Sinister fight. Magneto is dominating and if you are just going to have Magneto toss him around like a ragdoll (from the "metal on his body") then I can't see how Sinister can put up much of a fight. Granted he's immortal (although perhaps not in your version).

4. I think you should have had a few more mutants on the Marauders side. X-Men are constantly double-teaming them. Perhaps keeping Emma there and adding another. Or at least have the Marauders give the X-Men a much harder time.

5. Sinister's motivation for wanting to kill all humans hasn't been addressed. I know he said so mutants would reign supreme but that has never really been his MO. Will we be given a 'why' before the end?

6. I think you said previously that Jean has a cameo, is that still on?

7. Is Cable going to be in any of your spinoffs or sequels. Just asking because he's my favourite character. And do you plan on bringing in Apocalypse as a villain.

Keep up the good work. Bit disappointed to reach page 25 with no conclusion but I wait with anticipation.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Wow. Bunch of questions.

1. Dust was meant to be a cameo.

2. Iceman and Pyro was ended for a reason. More will come from them in X5.

3. Sinister and Magneto's fight isn't over.

4. No more mutants will be joining Sinister's forces. Emma is on the X-Men to stay. The X-Men will have a hard time ahead of them. I think Sinister just underestimated them this time, but in the future trust me he's prepared.

5. It's not explained before the end, no, but in the sequels, yes. I'm glad that you picked up that it's not really in with his usual status quo.

6. Jean's cameo was in the scene explaining how Cyclops lived.

7. No Cable planned.

Well a lot of people had spread their questions out over 25 pages. I just read the whole thing and only got ask mine now.

I still think the bad guys are coming off underdone and weak. The previous movies had formidable (and numerous) enemies but in this they are just getting their butts kicked too easily. The X-Men seem as if they could handle the Marauders, Sinister's robots & the Sentinels with their hands tied behind their backs. A hero is only as good as the villain opposite him. And I think if you're not going to add anything new to the Pyro/Iceman conflict it might be best to bring in someone else and save it for when you do want to make it full blown.

If you're not going to add more to Sinister's forces then at least make them tougher and able to hold of multiple X-Men. Like having Pyro creating flame creatures to hold off other X-Men while he fights Iceman, Callisto using her speed to fight multiple X-Men, things like that. Although they'll lose the war, let the baddies at least win a few battles. Just some constructive criticism. t:

And the flashback (to Alkali Lake) was Jean's cameo? Bit disappointing. I was expecting the higher being Phoenix (like the White Crown) would make an appearance. Oh well.

And I see you didn't mention Apocalypse, I'll take it as a "yes".

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Believe me all of your wants needs and frustrations confused will be addressed at times. You all should learned by now that I'm not the type of writer to give everything up right in the forefront.

Keep in mind this was written with TWO sequels in mind. Just cause things aren't happening now, doesn't mean they won't happen later.

 

[killingyouguy]

Frustration? Nah. Even if it was made into a movie (we all wish) "as is" it'd be very worthy and much better than X3. Personally, the only real complaint I have is that the fight scenes are a tad one-sided. That and I was really hoping in X3 (and now any potential sequel) for an epic Pyro/Iceman battle.

I know that you said you have sequels in mind but it does bring down the battle scenes in this particular script (the one-sidedness that is). No matter what happens in the sequel. IMO. But it's only a minor problem.

I just hope that Sinister & his handful of Marauders get much better allies then these robots if they're going to face over a dozen X-Men, plus the (probably) returning Prof. X, Banshee, etc.

But don't worry about me, you brought back Cyclops, pushed Wolverine to the background (I would have got rid of him entirely, he has his own series) and introduced Sinister. That's pretty much all it takes to win me over. t:

 

[RogueCrawler]

Hey Just A Bill I just have a quick question about your X5. Will Psylocke still be evil and then switch to the X-Men since you made her survive the incident on Alcatraz? And also will Jean come back in any of the seuqels to X-Men: New Hope? If you don't want to answer here you can PM me since it would reveal alot of spoilers

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Psylocke will not be connected to the '''Psylocke" of X-Men: The Last Stand. She will be a seperate person in X-Men 5.

As for Jean. Never say never.

 

[killingyouguy]

So what's the sit-rep on this script? It's been nearly a month since anything new. Is it dead?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

No, it's not dead. Just the writer having too much stuff on the side.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I've started the next and final update. Should be up sometime within the weekend, early next week.

 

[StormRises]

Looking forward to it! Great Work you have here. Being a massive Storm fan, im happy with what you have done with her in this script. Bringing out lots of her emotions and also bits of her past, which haven't made the movies yet, nicely done!

 

[otrock]

Cool. I can't wait to see how this ends, and to read any and all sequels!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Well, they'll be 2 sequels.

And sometime this weekend now. I'm just adding some scenes that finish up some plots in a way that'll be better for X5.
