UPDATED! We've Got The Name! X-MEN 3 Director Chosen!!
Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Sorry, guys. I wasn't trying to cocktease you. I was just trying to cover a source's ass. To me, the news was that they had chosen a director. Now they can get down to the business of making the film. In the hour and a half since I ran this headline, I've got an avalanche of independent confirmations, and I can honestly say I'm surprised it hasn't been reported anywhere else yet. Seems like it's not much of a secret at all.
Matthew Vaughn, director of LAYER CAKE, will direct X-MEN 3 for Fox.
I'd love to talk to him or to Zak Penn about general plans for the franchise as soon as possible, but I'm sure they're going to be tight-lipped. I'm incredibly happy overall with the way this is coming together. Matthew's a smart filmmaker, and his work on LAYER CAKE is dynamite. Zak Penn gets the X-Men and loves the characters, and he's been pretty instrumental in the franchise as a whole, so I think we're in good hands as the Dark Phoenix saga gets underway. Here's the original story that got you all so irritated with me, and like I said... I was just making sure I could cover some asses before sharing this with you. Enjoy!
I’ve gotten word now from two different sources regarding this coming Tuesday morning’s announcement of the new director of X-MEN 3. It’s happening. The film’s a go. Expect them to try to beat SUPERMAN to theaters, too. Unfortunately, without seriously stepping on some toes, I can’t put the name up yet. I’m working on it, and the second I can, I’ll put it up here. I’ll say this... I’m really pleased with the choice. It sounds like Zak Penn’s script is the one that Fox is using, and this director should be able to mine layers and layers of subtext out of the material.
Keep your eyes peeled right here... we’ll have that name for you verrrrrrrry soon...
"Moriarty" out.

You could have just posted it when you could instead of making us suffer.
-
Or Maybe Not.
-
"Chosen" = Joss Whedon? I'm probably reading too much into things.
-
It is me. I am the director. I obviously cannot reveal my name for legal reasons, but trust me, I am the Director of X-Men 3. Tell me what you want to see in the movie guys, and I will see what I can do. I am making this one for the fans!

Weakest article on AICN of all time.
-
neener neener I know something you do know.

typo coming as a result of being pissy about a dumb ass article.

MUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTT KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!
and is "Luminescence" serious? i doubt it . . . . . . -
Oh in that case...I WANT Longshot. Fix Storm (mohawk) and/or make it the "Future..."story line - Sentinals and maybe Cassanda X...and just more out there...no so restained and formula...
-
Remember back when AICN got their asses sued for posting stuff? Now, it's all "Here's a link to something that we received in a press release. Or, better yet, we just won't tell you." Get with it, guys.
-
post it you tards.
-
its Zack Snyder from Dawn of the Dead remake.
-
You sure? Snyder was on the short list of 6 choices, but I haven't seen anything that said he was the man.
-
seriously.
-
You're right.. he was on the list. The article I read was posted today but I skipped over the part where they gloss over that very MAJOR part of the story. Sigh. Sorry.
-
What the FUCK? This isn't NEWS! Cool or otherwise! This is you saying, we know something we'd love to tell you but we can't! So don't tell us ANYTHING!
Hey, Harry, guess what, I have one of the most important scoops you're gonna get this YEAR. You'll hear about by the end of April anyway, but I could tell you all now. And you know what, a year ago I would have. But this site trades on this kind of bullshit so much nowadays I'm actually going to hang on to a genuine scoop.
This is a two-way street Harry. Maybe just bad luck that you picked on a story that I actually care about, but fuck it, if people like me are going to feed you information, you must at least have the decency to print it.
Anyway, I've told virtually everyone I know the scoop I have so you'll still probably get it early, but I hope you don't.
You don't fuckin deserve it!
-
according to imdb, which isn't always accurate, Snyder is going to be busy directing 300, based on Frank Miller's graphic novel. Perhaps you simply found that Snyder would be directing something based on a comic book and figured it was x3.
-
is a good movie. Lots of good action. Lots of good drama. And maybe boobies. Definitely not man-boobies. WOOO.
-
Moriarty said the director could "mine layers of subtext" with the material. I doubt he'd say such a thing if the director's only major effort was the Dawn of the Dead remake. I've been searching possible directors on imdb for the last hour, because I should be studying for finals, but fuck that, and the only one I can find that's free to work and deserving of Moriarty's words is Whedon.
-
Alright, time to fan the flames of rumor . . . I just read some horribly unreliable rumors that the director is either Robert Rodriquez or David Fincher. I'd be happy with either. Fincher is apparently working on something else though, so I dunno.
-
Could Fox have been ballsy enough to go with Matthew Vaughn, director of LAYER CAKE?
-
and there were rumors that X3 had a casting call for extras in Austin, TX, which would further connect Rodriguez to the project since that's a favored locale of his.
-
Long, long, long gone are the good old days of the ID4 background, long single page o' headlines, AICN that I met back in '97 when the Special Editions were about to come out. In those days, AICN had spies infiltrating the sets of every cool movie being made. We'd get to see really cool spy photos from the sets. We'd hear about shit months before the info was "officially" released. Now we get "headlines" to non-stories. And when was the last time you saw a cool spy pic on this site? Oh, that's right, there were those crappy Willy Wonka pics that looked like something I could shoot outside a warehouse in my own town. I like you, Mori. I think you're probably the most literate member of the AICN staff. But I gotta call bullshit on this one. And you know it.

Remember when AICN actually HAD balls and DID report scoops firs
by triumph poops!
What the fuck is this? How is something a scoop if you have to wait till AFTER the FORMAL announcement is made? Let me get this straight: because you CLAIM to "know" something beforehand -- but then don't reveal it -- you think THAT counts as a scoop? Not according to any journalistic standards I know of. For crying out loud, if I have to wait for the formal announcement to break first, frankly at that point I AM better off just reading the news off Yahoo or some other wire service simply because when they post it, it will at least be an article with proper spelling, punctuation and sentence structure unlike a lot of things here. This was truly the most fucked-up headline in quite a bit here. As someone noted, a totally worthless cock tease that helps to remind us all why AICN is quickly becomeing more and more a shadow of what it once was and apparently PREFERS to be a castrated site from now on, lest apparently their freebies under the radar scope stop rolling in. No balls, boys. No balls at all for holding back. Which is sad. There was a time when this site's whole mantra would have been "Fuck yeah! We know who it is and we're gonna post it."
-
...that it might be Richard Kelly.
-
But I can't tell you now. I'll let you know Tuesday night.
-
I was thinking that yeah, but again imdb shows he's working on like 3 things right now. Considering this thing has to get underway fast to hope to make its release date, it would probably be someone totally free. Of course, you could be right.
-
Remember when he posted a scoop just to inform everyone he was going up to visit Aronofsky's "Fountain" production? Sure, Harry gets on my nerves sometimes when he blabbers on before the actual news item, but Mori's "I know something, and it's big, but sorry, I can only tell you that *I* know for now -- oh, and I'm better than you, too, bitches" is quite ridiculous. If you don't have anything real to post, don't fucking post it! I don't want to read about what you heard but can't tell us.
-
They're great for movies that have already come out are that are in active production. But for future projects they're hugely unreliable, they take a bit of the opposite approach, instead of waiting for something to be right they just post everything that comes in and waits for something to prove it wrong.
-
Mar 13, 2005 9:35:20 PM CST
Scoop! Listen, everyone! I know when the world's gonna end!!!
by commando cody
(singing) But I'm not gonna tell you! Na-na! ***** Boy, talk about a totally lameass news bit. Sorry, Mori, but I agree with everyone: saying you know something but NOT sharing it doesn't cut it or prove anything other than you guys have lost your one great edge and desire to actually BREAK news, and now prefer to be more respectable site and play ball with the studios. Besides, how exactly would you be stepping on toes by revealing this news? I'll assume you mean compromising a source, but it's not like you reveal your sources in any OTHER news story. You just stand behind the scooper's creed of "This is what we've heard from an unnamed source", which is what you should be doing here. Seriously, what the fuck was the point of even posting AT ALL? Why bother with "I'll tell you when I can." If you COULDN'T tell us now -- or name a SPECIFIC time when you'd reveal it -- then don't waste our time even mentioning it. In short, get back to us when you DO have REAL news.
-
I heard from A reliable choice that it's going to be Spike Lee.
-
I doubt it has anything to do with the source, more likely its cause AICN has been cushy with Avi Arad for awhile, and gotta make sure they don't do anything that would upset him.
-
bruce hunt. a unit director for the matrix revolutions, and the director of the upcoming movie "the cave."
-
Why even post this unless you can tell us the name?
-
I wonder if it's somewhere between the evolving sensibility of CERTAIN someone whose name I cannot UTTER, or... a very radical step as ARTISTS to certain pair of AUTEURS.
ERGO most IDIOTIC article in the history of AICN. Or shall I say AICN is history???
Damnit Mory I used to respect you man. In fact, I'm stopping with the "Mory" shit right now, you COCK. -
Why couldn't you post in the headline that you couldn't tell who it was? Oh yeah, because there is more ad exposure when we have to click to a new page to learn absolutely nothing. Money hungry assholes. Why don't you just set up a bunch of links on the front page titled "Click Here to learn nothing and make us money."?
-
Everybody's pretty mad, Moriarty. I think you'd better just come out and tell us.
-
Yes, folks it's McG.
-
Now that he's mastered the videogame genre, guess he'll be looking for a new challenge

Awww, Moriarty!! You coy S.O.B.!! WHY'RE YOU TEASIN' ME?!?
by l.h.puttgrass
You don't raise your skirt, say "Come an' git it!" and let me ricochet off a solid steel "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" chastity belt!! I mean, someone could get hurt. Like me! I may need medical attention. Next time say something like, "Director choosen, but name not released.". That would work. Wouldn't it? By the way, is "why're" a proper contraction? I don't know, but I like it!
-
He's busy planning layers and layers of subtext for the Hot Wheels movie he's directing. That's according to imdb, which apparently I can't trust. I can't trust imdb or Mori . . .who can I trust?
-
What the hell is going on here, M? Worried you'll upset some of the studio guys that send you screener DVD's and invite you to visit movie sets? Or is it that they might not look at the scripts you write if you continue giving us scoops? If being a "cool news" reporter threatens whatever it is your current priorities are, then don't waste out time.
-
I said "layers and layers" of subtext. I wasn't trying to cocktease you. Anyway... it was only an hour and a half or so. And now you know. Pretty groovy choice.
-
And I know absolutely nothing about this man, so I have no opinion. How anti-climatic. Bah.

To Paraprase Loga in X1: "What the Hell is a Matthew Vaughn?!?"
by kenkrk
Well this is a leftfield choice if I ever saw one. I'd have to see this film "Layer Cake", before I can really pass judgment. I would have thought the franchise would have gained enough clout to get a more high profile director. I definitely would liked to have seen what Whedon or Proyas would have done, but if this is who Fox wants, I guess I just have to trust them.
-
Mar 13, 2005 10:57:05 PM CST

FUCK WB, FUCK SUPERMAN 'BEGINS', and a SEMI FUCK U to Bryan Singer for turning his back on our franchise.

Why not just go all the frakkin' way and pick Guy Ritchie?
by hell's cigarette
WTF is Fox smoking...
-
Just hopefully FOX isn't picking someone who's a relative newcomer because they feel it'd be easier to control him into making this their movie.

"Just hopefully FOX isn't picking someone who's a relative newcomer because they feel it'd be easier to control him into making this their movie."
BINGO, that's it
and AICN sucks ass...there i said it..they suck ass...i wasn't here in the early days so i have no frickin' clue what it was like then...but seriously, they suck ass and always will because harry's hollywood's little bitch -
I am wearing that DVD OUT! HOT HOT HOT!
-
And yellow spandex for the x-WOMEN. I mean why not?
-
It looks like he has produced a bunch of crappy films, and he's married to Claudia Schiffer, which is kind of anti-geek. He just seems too...British to me to direct a bunch of American super heroes. But time will tell...

Vaughn's directed exactly ONE film! Is Moriarty doing "buzz con
by frankdrebin
They're gonna trust a novice with a massive, expensive, effects-loaded epic? I just can't see old pros like McKellen & Stewart taking orders from a "kid". And he better be good at stroking egos, when Jackman, Janssen, Stamos & Cumming all demand bigger roles, while studio wants more focus on the teen-drawing Marsden, Ashmore, Pacquin & Stanford. I really wonder if Moriarty trying to sell us on this director as a favor to Fox.
-
"There was a reason why Matthew Vaughn, the director of Layer Cake, turned up late tonight for the Empire Awards, where he won Best British Director for the aforementioned crime flick. Namely, he had just flown back from LA where, as some websites have reported this morning, he's been confirmed as director of Fox/Marvel's forthcoming X-Men 3.
Well, having spoken to him tonight, all we're saying is -
This is a bold choice. Layer Cake was a great, beautifly shot film (on a particularly small budget). People weren't sure if Singer could make the step up from Suspects and Apt Pupil, but he did. Also, can we get Daniel Craig from Remy LeBeau, that would be cool Hugh Jackman level casting (at the time of X1).
-
That was supposed to be announced like a week or two ago.
-
goodbye X-Men film franchise, its pretty obvious the reason the first two films are good is all down to Bryan Singer. Note for Fox: title could be X-Men Forever? If I was Guy Ritchie i'd be pretty upset right now.
-
Layer Cake is OK - a Lock Stock take-off at times. Valued mainly for some good acting rather than anything else.
How the else does this qualify him for X3?!? -
I love Lock Stock and Snatch, but they are effectively comedies.
-
fucking mockneys , twattish cunting Londoners going around being twattish twenty years too late ( as opposed to get carter ) Everybody knows their are no gangsters in London , there aren't because they all thought about it and then decided they would rather be in Starbucks sipping their Lattes pondering the thought of being stuck in traffic in their big red porsche when their office is only 2 minutes walk away . But hey at least they get to play 'Ordinary world' and pretend they are in 'Layer Cake' that ever so gritty and real crime thriller by the future director of X men 3 . Ahh sorry there ... lost myself for a bit..
-
...What a joke. There are so many promising writers/directors in England, it really pisses me off wghen the ones who get all the exposure are plum-gobbed public schoolboys masquerading as "streetwise" clued-up exponents of "cool". Has anyone here actually seen Sienna's performance in Layer Cake? It's no fucking surprise that she was beaten to the Empire "Best Newcomer" award by a 12 year old boy. Hey, if these privileged (read: spoilt) semi-aristos want to try their hand at film-making then that's fine by me, but they could at least spend a bit longer on casting, rather than just pick some dolly-bird cokehead who was born with a diamond-encrusted spoon up her ass, just because her cousin went to the same school as some rosey-cheeked blubbersome city boy who once rogered the director senseless after lights-out in the dormitory. Ahhhhhhhh, that feels better. I hate Mondays.
-
yeh and what he said !
-
Seems to be a healthy mix of two elements.
One is "WHO????????"
And the other is "That Guy? He's an asshole"
So much rage in these talkbacks. Lithium for everyone -
Sorry to go off on a tangent. I'm not saying Shane Meadows has got the experience to handle a big budget studio film. But he's probably the best British film maker still working in England right now. He made a film called 24/7 a few years ago; which for me was the best British film of the nineties. Anyhow, Dead Man's Shoes is a revenge flick which pays homage to Rosemary's Killer, Death Wish and Halloween. But with a lot more heart. Beautifully acted too by Paddy Considine and Toby Kebbell. Superb film that nobody talks about. Ah well, Monday's are shite anyway...
-
glad it's good , it's no 1 on my amazon renty list thing . God knows why it's not released on there yet - i've seen it in blockbuster ( vomit)
-
Did he do a Room for Romeo Brass too? Cos I really liked that film, and I've heard Dead man's shoes is pretty good too. Do you mean 24/7 party people? I haven't seen it but my mum was around for the hacienda days and she loved that movie, said it was pretty accurate. And I'm glad to see everybody is haveing as shit a Monday as I am. It's lunchtime - I'm going downstairs for some canteen slop.....
-
Dead Man's Shoes is brilliant. I would love to see Meadow's X3. He's directed more films than upper class pretend badboy Nathan Barley twat Vaughn. I fucking despise Snatch (I know that was Ritche's). Nobody talks about Sexy Beast either. It must take great skill to create an original British crime film since the slew of Lock Stock photocopies yet both Glazer and Meadow's managed it. Fucking Layer Cake.Can't wait to see the FHM, Loaded filtered X Men. Ballbags.
-
thats winterbottoms 24 hr party people- u know the guy that just made the tasteful(apparently) porn film 9 songs . Now stay away from that sister of yours eh , it'll only lead to bad things...

....would of been infinately better a choice. Or for a random leftfield British choice, Chris Cunningham.

quickly becoming 'mockney gangsta films we hate talk back ..
by scaryjim
Near topping my list is Gangster no.1 - with paul Bettany doing a fabulous impersonation of malcolm mcdowell in a clockwork orange - and then we get malcolm mcdowall doing a not very good impression of Paul Bettany doing an impression of him . Absurd - Why didn't they just age Bettany up - all the other characters were played by the same people and aged up and suddenly gangster no 1 is an entirely different person and looks 20 years older than all his aqquaintances from the same era- and ffs he would have known the girl wasn't dead?? didn't he read the fing newspapers..?
-
McG is making Hot Wheels into a movie now. John Dykstra is doing the vfx, which means he won't be able to do Spiderman 3. Which kinda sucks.
-
Your right - chris cunningham should be given a film after all the amazing music video styles he's pioneered . Maybe they should give him something he can go totally insane on though.
-
I lost all hope after that rumor hit. Dawn of the Dead 2004 was horrible.
-
Dead Man's Shoes is out to buy next week, I think. It's got the 'Northern Soul' short made at the same time as Dead Man, on there aswell. Fair play to Matthew Vaughan. I wish I could take him seriously. But he's too 'jet set'. Do you know what I mean?
-
Shit! I really am confused today. 24/7 is that boxing movie with Bob Hoskins, isn't it? Well, I haven't seen that either - but I think we're all agreed that there's so many better people than Vaughan who they could pick, if they want to give a Brit the chance of directing a big-budget film. And you leave my sister out of it, you could never understand the love we share..... Trevor Goodchild: Always good to see Sexy Beast mentioned, that certainly has a place in my top 10 favourite films - the dialogue is so good, between me and a couple of my mates who are similarly obsessed with it - we must know the whole script - and Ben Kingsley is incredible, I'm still pissed off he didn't win the Oscar for it. "How is she, alright?" "What's that Don?" "You heard." "No, sorry Don, I didn't." "Yeah? Well I'm not repeating it" - Don Logan is a fucking legend. Finally, last week's Nathan Barley took it to new levels of depravity, it's bad to have a bad uncle.....
-
But I take your points.TheReturnOfHP,Scary Jim,Evergreen,Trevor Goodchild=funny stuff,(Nathan Barleys hahaha Don't you just cringe when you see KMoss SFrost and those fake Bohemian S@#T trendy roody Poo fools,poor old Shoreditch :>.Chris Cunningham should indeed be brought in before lesser talents rip off his style.Good luck to the X men 3 team though,at least there is a part 3.I hope they do a good job and entertain the fans as well as the normal folk...(But if I hear Madonna has been cast as Emma Frost or Prof X's space girlfriend.......)Anyway time will tell,lets all keep an open mind,it's a big oppurtunity for him.Best of British mate.
-
Don't know if anyone has heard this yet, but Colossus is confirmed as coming back as well. There was a pparently a casting call put out last week for extras (in Texas) which listed the writers, producers, etc. and 5 of the cast: Daniel Cudmore (Colossus), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Hugh Jackman (Logan), Jamke Jansen (Jean Grey) and Patrick Stewart (Xavier)
comicbookmovie.com has it posted over there.

i've missed nathan barley so far - I even managed to convince a friend who watched it once and didn't get it that it would be good even though i hadn't seen it myself . Britain - a country that knows how to kick itself when it's down .

by barry egan
I thought Alfonso Cuaron brought a fresh new spin to the Harry Potter franchise that I hope Mike Newell continues. Keep the spirit of the series in tact, but let the filmmaker add their own unique touches. I was watching the "Heat" dvd last week and I also think it would be cool to film certain movies with actors switching roles. For example, I would love to see "Heat" with Pacino and DeNiro switching roles. Film both at the same time, cut two versions of the film. The big shootouts in "Heat" would be kind of hard to do that way, but on a smaller film it could work.

What's up with Marvel movies?After Ang Lee turned in a movie that disappointed, it looks like Marvel decided that a talented director isn't that important. We got Jonathan Hensleigh getting his first shot at directing with the Punisher, same for David Goyer and Blade: Trinity - both those movies were terrible. Now it's Tim Story and the Fantastic Four (which I'm hoping doesn't suck but it doesn't look good). Jury's still out on Matthew Vaughn, I haven't seen Layer Cake but Marvel, let's go back to getting some guys with talent!
-
Kidding.
Layer Cake was OK, nothing more. What the fuck does Matthew Vaughn have to offer the X-Men franchise? -
can't you tell through his gritty yet realistic Mockney gangster thriller that he is such a fan of comics and the Xmen in general ?
I bet thats what he tells the fan boys anyway . -
sheesh...
-
Namely, a relatively new, somewhat unknown and unproven director with one smart, edgy crime drama to his credit. Here's hoping they get the story right. Which means Sentinels, Hellfire Club and Wolverine crawling through a sewer to sacrifice himself to save his friends. Ian McShane as Sebastian Shaw! Portia DiRossi as Emma Frost!

I sure hope so, cause that scene OWNED the first film. Nothing like gay ass wire work that's been the curse of things since the Matrix, and having a bad ass like Wolverine, the best there is a what he does, being bitch-whipped and only surviving because of the "Incidental Hollywood Escape Clause -

Bring on the new blood. I don't know who those people were in the first two flicks. Save for Xavier and Magneto, the rest weren't the mutants I grew up with. Here's hoping the new guy takes a bold leap away from the Melrose-X direction Singer headed into.

by salvatoregravano
It's a parody, for God's sake. Watchable and extremely overrated, but a parody. Anyway, for a good "Brit gangster" title that is serious, doesn't try to spoof itself, and is probably unknown to anyone except me on this board, watch "Gangster No 1" with South Park's A British Person (alias Malcolm McDowell).
-
Rolling Thunder meets the Sixth Sense. I actually watched it this weekend. It was very different from what I expected. Since it was the first release by Warp Films (which is affiliated with Warp Records), I wasn't expecting a violent revenge flick. It was pretty decent, if a little predictable. But the acting and cinemaphotography were great.
-
what the song playing in the second half of the Layer Cake trailer is http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/layer_cake.html
-
I don't know but it was shit. Sounds like Marilyn Manson trying to cover Sweet. But OT - I haven't seen Layer Cake, but I only know one person that has, which is telling as I mainly know a bunch of British Film Geeks. The one person who did see it liked it, and said what everyone else says - great acting, but couldn't been directed by anyone with that cast. How this puts him in line for X3 leaves only conclusion. Someone is sucking someones elses cock. And it might be Claudia Schiffer. I mean - please! I know Whedon wasn't going to do it because they wouldn't let him write it, and I know they had some twatty self-imposed deadline to work to, but I can (LITTERALY) think of it least 100 guys and girls I would have given X3 to first. And some of them might be dead! Let's hope it goes balls-up and Richard Linklater feels like another diversion. (see, I've started the list already)

lol come on, you really think your the only one to have seen this ;)
Ganster Number 1 was a pretty good movie though. WHen the younger McDowel beat the guy to a pulp (was it with a gulf club? I cant rmember) in his tidy whiteys it was brutal and funny at the same time....that part reminded me of American Psycho -
why the hell didn't they just age up bettany!!! ubsurd!!! i couldn't get past all the other actors being the same and yet he was suddenly an entirely different person.

....it's the one with the ginger hair.

he wouldn't do X3 for all the tea in China, no interest in taking over someone else's franchise or working with FOX.

......Gets rid of the pain of being a man............. Not too bothered about the storyline they pick just so long as they get Mr Mcoy right. Here's my list one more time. Joaquin Phoenix. Oliver Platt.Angus McFadden. Vincent D'onofrio. And get rid of Black Berry. Angela Basset all the way. Be nice to see Madrox. William Fichtner perhaps?

by kampbell-kid
Wow.. and here I loathed at myself for having a stick up my ass about Quint's second uprising of minority stereotyping in Hollywood. Except... when I read this entire talk back I can't help just to think how pathetic some of you are in what merely angers you. lol You gripe over someone possibly giving spoilers away about something you cherish and love, when really it's just your deep inner desire to have a reason to lash out at someone. Yet you really want this spoiler so bad like a baby to it's bottle that it has to be imediately fist fucked without Astroglide until you get your "elitist geek" fix. Just so in the end you can brag to someone with all the little self-esteem you still muster up to only find out that person just dosen't simply care on that same pathetic giddy level that you do. Thats your reality check, you've been served. ^.~

At least I knew who Bryan Singer was prior to X-MEN. LAYER CAKE? Huh?

by iamjacksuserid
And you should loathe yourself over Quint's comments. You made a mountain out of an anthill. And anyone that says "you've been served" should have their existance license revoked pronto.

Go back to your bedroom and listen to Korn some more Kambell kid .

The attitude - at times very stereotyped. Similar if not identical in both. Hardly surprising given Vaughn's connection. And although I think he handles the film better than Ritchie - there is nothing there that would explain why he would get such a big break.
Unless it is the old contacts in the bix with daddys friends of course. WHich seems to be why we have such a glut of so-so acting talent. -
produced Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels as well as Snatch. He has also directed Layer Cake, released in the UK last year (to critical acclaim) and will open in the USA sometime soon. It's a good movie, but not sure he's the right man for X3, but then I thought the same about Singer. Consider you Colonials informed.
-
That most of us who replied first were actually brits and do know who he is and what he has(barely) done.
-
He did a short film on legendary British comic artist JOHN BOLTON, that probably got him a step in the door. An on the question of attitude, yes it did have your stereotypical east-london 'awwight' gangsters, but they were secondary characters to the majority of the support, let alone the lead, who was a very different kind of protagonist in these over-familiar films. The scene with him in the bathroom when he couldn't sleep showed that.
-
That's one action figure I'd be buyin', JACK.
-
I sure do know about the First X-men movie!
It features a Matrix induced Mystique growing claws and fighting Wolverine on equal ground, then floating up a chain and only THEN getting what she had coming to her.
Nothing against the ladies, but give me a break. Let's have Wolverine fight a man so the PC shackles can come off. Fuck Singer and his over-equality. Now that he's on to Supes he can have him fight a gang of angry housewives with kryptonite underwear or some shit like that... -
yeah ! my dick ! fuck i can't believe i just said that...

by doctorwho?
Not that she would touch it w/ a 10ft pole...but she's a WOMAN. She has that noble quality that the comic book Storm was imbued with. Halle is whinny , pampered, hit and run Hollywood debutante snob! And BTW, what the hell is Layer Cake???

Wasn't there supposed to be some official word today? Maybe perhaps things aren't as set in stone as we were led to believe. . .
-
There's a comics convention this wekend in LA. Avi Arad is supposed to do a Q&A session on Saturday. I'm betting if they're going to do an official announcement it'll be then and there. Even if he doesn't plan on bringing it up, you kow someone is going to ask.
