I just got some new word on X3. Gambit and Beast we can confirm. Not sure about Angel. Hugh, Famke, Ian, and Patrick are back as of today. This is in addition to the actors already optioned for X3.

Anna, Halle, and James are NOT signed yet, though by the end of the week, they should know what will happen with Anna Paquin.

Looks like besides Phoenix, the SENTINELS are in, including a character called Dr. Bolivar Trask.

And a news director's been chosen......Too bad he's pretty muhc a no-name.

Quote:

Variety has confirmed that "Layer Cake" helmer Matthew Vaughn is set to direct X-Men 3 for 20th Century Fox and Marvel Entertainment. Filming is scheduled to start in early summer with many of the cast from the first two films expected to reprise their roles.

Hugh Jackman is set for Wolverine, and Fox is in talks with Halle Berry, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart to return.

Alex Young is overseeing X-Men 3 for Fox, which is aiming for a Memorial Day May 26, 2006, release date.

And a follow up to the first article......

Quote:

IGN FilmForce's secret X3 source advised us that Anna Paquin is signed to return as Rogue and that the Danger Room will finally be seen. Our insider reiterated that a male Angel will be in X3, along with Beast and Gambit. They also denied that the Sentinels will be in X3, as was reported yesterday at XMenFilms.net. Our source, however, refused to comment on the site's other claim that the film's villain will be Dr. Bolivar Trask.

Matthew Vaughn did direct a British film called 'Layer Cake', which almost won him some directorial awards on his first feature. It is a superbly directed film. I'm hoping X3 can have the same stylish look, and should be awesome now Gambit's onboard (I hope)

Cheers for the heads-up

If Trask is the villian doesn't that mean we'll see Sentinals?? He is their creator...

Yep, the first article says the storyline will involve Phoenix and Sentinels....How they're gonna do both beats me....

*raphael_is_cool* · 03-22-2005, 06:52 PM

Should be easy enough. I think you'd need 2 running storylines, they have done so in the past, sort of.

It's just they're now introducing more new characters. I'm sure it'll all tie in somewhere.

*Brodie* · 03-23-2005, 08:59 PM

Are they gonna go into space too? Because obviously they're film gods if they can handle both sentinels and Pheonix.

While the bulk of the cast for the third X-Men movie is already in place, Variety today announced a new addition to both the cast and the characters that will appear in the film: Kelsey (Frasier) Grammer as Hank McCoy, aka Beast.

Blue fur and all.

While spinning it to the trade and non-comics readers Marvel’s Avi Arad confirmed what many X-Men fans have known for years: “Kelsey was born to play the role," Arad said. “This is a big role in the new movie, and when we met with him, you can see that Kelsey has that you'd-better-have-a-dictionary-handy intelligence.”

The trade confirmed that X3’s Beast will be the 355-pound, blue furred version.

Also, Vinnie (Snatch) Jones is slated to play Juggernaut in the film, named by the trade as the anchor of Magneto’s “villainous band.” Maggie (Lost) Grace is in negotiations to play Kitty Pryde, while the studio is still searching for an actor to play Angel, described by the trade as “a handsome winged mutant who is ashamed of his feathery appendages.”

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, X-Men 3 is slated to open Memorial Day weekend, 2006.

Raph's Girl note: Soo.. Beast is Metrosexual??? Grammar has gone from being Dr. Frasier Crane to Dr. Hank McCoy! I never would have pictured him in the role but it certainly does fit the Frasier Crane personality.

*KROW* · 05-18-2005, 10:38 AM

Interesting. Now I shall await those who will say, "What about the guy in X2 that was talking on the T.V.? Huh?"

Vinnie Jones? Juggernaut?

Er... okay. I would've cast Paul Wight or someone as large to play him.

And Maggie Grace?

I see. That could work, although we might here more of, "What about that girl in X2 that ran through the wall, and through the door in the first movie? Huh?"

That would be Steven Bacic who can currently be seen in Stargate SG1 playing Camulus, the celtic god of war as well as "The Colt" a made for tv movie about the civil war. But he's more known from "Andromeda"

I doubt he has time to reprise his role as Dr. McCoy.

As for Katie Stuart (Kitty Pryde in X-Men 1 and 2)...Well..who knows..she might not be interested.. BTW...she was also in SG1 as Cassandra and can currently be seen in "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"....

*KROW* · 05-18-2005, 10:58 AM

I see. Well, if it were me, I would definitely give up a role on Stargate to play in an X-Men film, and as one of the chief characters to boot. Especially Beast. He's an integral part of the team, with his intelligence and calm demeanor. That character could go very far in the franchise should they make more films. Sae with Shadowcat. She was quite an important character herself.

But, if they want to pass it up, that's their decision.

*DrSpengler* · 05-18-2005, 01:36 PM

I kinda hope Kelsey Grammer just plays Dr. McCoy in his "humanoid" form and then does the voice after he gets all furry. Kinda like how David Hyde Pierce just did the voice of Abe Sapian in Hellboy.

A good choice, though.

24 was two hours tonight on FOX and it was very well-done. The 2nd hour of the 2 got more emotional with the return of a old character and also a very emotional ending to the episode.. However what was exciting was the showing of Xmen 3: The Last Stand which comes out in May.

Excellent trailer.. some of you probably know alot of who or what is happening in this xmen movie but let's just say I can't wait..

*Raph's Girl* · 03-07-2006, 02:21 AM

Fortunatly I was told at what exact time the trailor would air so I wouldn't have to watch 24...I still had the channel on FOX just in case (and guess what...I STILL don't like 24...go figure) and quickly changed the channel as soon as the trailor aired.

The trailor was AWESOME!! I SOOO totaly can't wait to see this movie!!!

Meh... It just doesn't peak my interest...

Anyways...on to the next thing:
TheXverse.com has posted a frame-by-frame analysis of the X-Men: The Last Stand trailer, with a transcription of the dialogue for people unable to view the trailer.

http://www.thexverse.com/gallery.php...=display_album

This is Arclight aka Phillipa Sontag...she has geokenetic powers (she can create earthquakes and shockwaves). She can currently be seen in the X-men comics as one of the 198 to retain their powers after House of M. In the movie she's played by Hispanic actress, Omahyra Mota. If you're wondering what she's doing...she's creating a shockwave of electricity.

Same here.
I spend the rest of the eavning after the movie complaining and comparing things to my mom and she was not happy about that.

It´s the same thing with Batman begins. Hated that one too and they should never had made it.

Tell me you're joking. I've never heard anyone say they don't like Batman Begins.
