Emma Frost movie in the works...
 

After last weekend's four-day, $122.9 million debut of X-Men: The Last Stand, the third film in the Marvel Comics series, producers are devising ways to launch some characters into their own franchises.

The first spinoff will be Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. His character has an as-yet-unrevealed back story in which researchers replaced his original bones with a metal skeleton. Jackman has signed on to star and co-produce, and X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner says it will likely head into production next year.

"We've also talked about doing something on the kids in (Professor X's) school, focusing on their lives, and less of a global adventure for the team," says Hutch Parker, production president of 20th Century Fox.

The studio is also exploring a movie with Three Kings director David O. Russell based on the character of Emma Frost, a sexy mutant telepath who can transform her skin into diamonds. She is an X-Men comics regular but was not featured in the movies.

Another likely solo project: Magneto, also in the script phase. The film will focus on his youthful pre-villain days, Shuler Donner says.

Though it would require a younger actor for those sequences, she says the film would need Ian McKellen to anchor the flashbacks. "What's a Magneto movie without Ian?" she asks.

Raph's Girl note: WTF? An Emma Frost movie even tho she's never been any of the X-Men films? Well the theatrical ones anyways...last time Emma Frost was in an X-Men film was in the 1996 Made for TV Generation X film in which she was played by Finola Hughes. And that film about the students sounds like a Generation X theatrical film.

Raph's Girl, where did you find the news that a Storm movie was being made? Because I'm pretty sure that it's not true (sorry that I ask in this thread but I thought it would fit in here).

Wow X-men is just getting a little to out of hand. I'm glad Batman and Spider-man movies won't get like this. Cause those comics focus on them and them only. They could maybe make a Nightwing movie for Batman or a Robin movie but I doubt it. With X-men there's tons of people to put in movies. And you know most of them will suck.

I would like to see Omega Red hit the big screen though....or maybe an Apocalypse story arc.

Emma Frost is totally hot, but the movie would suck so hard.

omfg we need a nightwing movie

I've been hearing about a Storm film for a while now... Halle Berry keeps flip flopping about whether she wants to play Storm again...but ATM she's interested in reprising the character.

We need a Gambit movie too kthxbye

Yeah my friend and me both were mad he wasn't in X-men 3. And hasn't been in X-men yet.

The studio is also exploring a movie with Three Kings director David O. Russell based on the character of Emma Frost, a sexy mutant telepath who can transform her skin into diamonds


....The hell?

The White Queen's a flipping telepath.

She's a telepath yes but was given an extra power. She can make her skin diamond hard and this prevents other telepaths from getting into her mind and it prevents her from having to listen to the thoughts of other people.

As the Wikipedia also says she can make psionic blasts as well..so her powers are more than just telepathy:

As for Gambit...they should make a Storm/Gambit movie darnit!

F*** no! I hate Halle Berry!!! She can just stay the F*** away from Gambit or I will DESTROY things!
