Missy Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Breaking news: Director Matthew Vaughn has quit just nine weeks before shooting was to begin. The reason being, he didn't want to uproot his family from their London home. No word on a new director just yet. (Frankly, they should put it off for a year and wait for Singer to finish Superman.) Oh, and Maggie Grace (Lost) will be playing Kitty Pryde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Maverick Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Aintitcoolnews was the first site to break the news, and now they are reporting that John Moore and Brett Ratner are the two in the running to take over from Vaughn. All I have to say is Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Yes, it has been confirmed that everyone who was in the first two will be in this one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris R Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Beautiful. I can't get enough Patrick Stewart. The man is golden. As for the direction, I'm really at a loss as to who will take over. It should be Singer as Yoda suggested, but God help us if it's Ratner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I have a man-crush on Patrick Stewart. He's the fucking shit. In terms of current English actors, he's easily in my top 5. Ian McKellan would be up there, as would Anthony Hopkins. I always thought Hopkins could play a BADASS Mr. Sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 It has been confirmed that Brett Ratner (Rush Hour) will direct X-Men 3. (Little did I know that he was actually considered for the first X-Men movie before it eventually went to Singer.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 This doesn't fill me with hope: [Ratner] also said you can expect his X-Men to have an enhanced sense of humor. "Not jokes for the sake of jokes," [he] added, "jokes that come from character humor, that come from characters and that come from the situations."

MaxPower Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Ummm, I already laugh (in a good way) at 80% of what Logan said in both movies (his digs at Prof X and Cyclops especially). Other than that, I really don't want to see any other jokes. FUCK! Wat next, will Tucker be playing some reporter or Whitehouse official!

MaxPower Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 probably a good thing. If beast is in it, there may be too many blue characters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Here's a bunch of news: Maggie Grace, who was supposed to play Kitty Pryde, has left the project. No reason has been reported. Gambit (whose part is minor) and Angle have yet to be cast, though Mike Vogel was offered the part of the winged X-Man but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. Daniel Cudmore might return as Colossus (here's to hoping he has a larger role this time), and a teaser will run with Fantastic Four.

Fat DJ Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Maggie Grace, who was supposed to play Kitty Pryde, has left the project. No reason has been reported. It's more than likely her commitment to Lost, which should start filming within a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 That's a bit of a disapointment for me, I was actually warming to Maggie as ShadowCat, as she is my favourite female X-men character and Maggie is pretty darn sexy! How about Dawn from Buffy for Shadow Cat, that would be totally awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Joss Whedon recently noted that Firefly and Serenity actress Summer Glau has auditioned for the role of Kitty Pryde. No confirmation of the casting, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 If there's so much talk for casting Kitty Pryde, her part must be being boosted up somewhat. Considering how long this sequel's been in the works and the cast still hasn't been grounded out, the teaser trailer isn't going to be much.
