Ratner wants a mutant whore... for X3!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here... sorry, I couldn't help but make that totally off-color headline. Too good of an opportunity to pass up... Anyway, it seems that Brett Ratner is wanting to include a mutant that showed up in later Uncanny X-Men books... well, after I stopped reading X-Men after the Age of Apocalypse days... this character's name is Stacy X, a mutant prostitute, and doesn't seem to be a big character and I wouldn't guess would play a huge part in the film... at least I hope not. Talk about totally unneeded characters. I want to see Gambit on the big screen. I want to see Beast being badass even more. Angel is also a visually stunning and great tormented character. I think you can include some new characters and keep the characters that have already been established in the lime-light without too much difficulty... Let's just hope Ratner doesn't go hog wild throwing in every character he likes from the books! This was broken by Page 6, not really known for their breaking news, so I'll label this as rumor until it's confirmed by Fox or Ratner. Here's the story:
hey harry,
i just found this on today's page six column. ugh, i
can only see this being good news if xmen3 is rated x.

SUPER VIXEN
RED-blooded director Brett Ratner is having his dream
character written into the new "X-Men 3" movie. The
mutant is, according to an inside source, "an
unbelievably hot and sexy hooker. Her super power is
that she secretes a pheromone that helps her to seduce
men. She can seduce anyone." The source added the
character has not yet been cast but, "they are open to
all ethnicities who are in their early-to-mid 20s."
Unknowns Kate Nauta and Aya Sumika are apparently
auditioning. A rep for Ratner didn't return calls.

Hahahahahahhaahahahaha! Ratner Tracking Right On Target For Pile
by sam bones
It's like watching a train rocketing full speed toward a cliff with the bridge out. You know it's going to be gruesome and squeeze your heart but you just can't take your eyes off it. A prostitute mutant! Hahahahahaahaha! It's so Miami/Hollywood that only an old Mike De Luca bad boy party story could top it! They'll get Paris Hilton to play her! Shove out MAJOR X-Men characters to satisfy Ratner's "this will get them into the theaters" sure-fire strategy to do something really "innovative" for a Hollywood studio film. You see. She's a MUTANT hooker! And she'll walk down the street and guys will fall all over themselves (girls, too!) for her. You can already see the trailer. And of course it'll piss off all the other female mutants and Wolverine will fuck her just as Jean Grey appears! Oh, man, it's a deal! Let's do lunch, babe!

Matthew Vaughn was a good choice for this movie for a number of reasons. As it seemed the the producers were trying to keep the same sort of edgy feel as when they employed Singer in the past. Although Vaughn has not done much layer cake was one of the many british ganster movies of the last few years that was'nt complete a utter crud. Coupled with this when he made that movie with the some of the best actors in the british cinema, the movie is not bad and a good debut.
I dont know why he jumped as quick as he did, but I do know one thing for certain vinnie jones will be horrendus in the role of juggernaut if he keeps that part. Just because he is english does'nt mean that he should be cast opposite Stewart. Everyone seems to be totally pissed that Ratner is to helm this movie, I think that this project is dead with or without him and vaughn probably knew this from the short period that he was attached to direct.
Hey look on the bright side the first two were'nt that bad and they started the whole comic book to movie thing all over again, we have to give them that. At least Ratner is'nt doing supeman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
is the ability to make change for a $100 bill.
-
I can only hope that in a few years time, some young talented director with more vision than Ratner will re-imagine the turd film giving us sentinals, Beast, Gambit, Angel and a proper X-men film. I feel dirty and used when I think of how bad this film is going to blow.
-
I have the first issues with stacy x in them,shes a crap character(and only lasted a few issues)!!!Ratner is trying to put a (contrived) dark edge to the film i think ,(there was prostitutes in sin city and people liked that so this is a clever idea he thinks!)what point is he trying to make?maybe he could make another sub plot involving mutant back street abortions, or maybe a pedophile mutant just released from prison trying to seek redemption for an unforgivable crime he commited 14 years ago ,the boys in Fox could get Kevin Bacon to star!!they could get rid off all the characters that have cool powers too! they would only get in the way of the "Darker Gritty storyline" !!
well done Ratner you have saved the franchise from being Too successful like the last 2 films!(W)hoor(e)ayyyy -
yay...mutant whores galore! Bring it on I say. This is going to be hilarious, one of the best franchises yet comes crumbling down...what the hell are they thinking?!?!
-
...of replacing Mystique with a pointless half dressed chick. Wouldn't it be a surprise if the actress turned out to be an unknown ingenue who begins dating Ratner because "he's just so cool."

...and can seduce anyone because of it, does she really need to be sexy looking too? It would be more interesting if she was a big fat chick with a face like a bucket of Legos.
-
Why is this?
-
This reminds me of my favorite villain from the 70's/80's, The Mandrill. Women would do anything he said, so he used them to ... rob banks? If you had a super-power like that, you wouldn't need cash. ("Mandrill" = "man drill". Get it? Nyuk-nyuk.)
-
All they need to say is, "Here. Now."
-
I hope they've replaced Mystique with this Whore, Mystique Rocks and the Whore can die, be turned human in her place. Nothing about the other X-men Spinoff movies here?. Young Magneto is greenlit and there's another one in the works with the Kiddie mutants. Ratner if you fuck this up buddy i'm going to hunt you down and gut you like a pig.

Can't trust Page Six. Also, Ratner may not be a bad choice a
by mr. profit
The script may be weak, but Ratner is a capable director. Too bad the script may suck. Who knows I'm not going to negatively bash this film because AICN tells me to in their passive aggressive ways. I thought the Xmen films were merely OK, so there is a lot of room for improvement. They should hire Gabrielle Union to replace Halle. She is a better actress. Sure she makes some films to obviously pay the bills, but when she is good (Something the Lord Made) she's good. But I dont believe this mutant whore stuff at all.
-
But for $50, all you get is a lap dance.
-
This amazing mutant was born with a vertical slit in her crotch, which houses a warm moist canal into her body cavity. She uses this power to entice men who hope to insert their penises into this wonder of nature...
-
So Ratner's taking up valuable screen time with Stacy X, a recent member of the Legion of Forgettable X-Men. Sure, why not, especially when that screen time could be devoted to characters X-Men fans actually WANT to see, like Psylocke, Havok, Polaris, Emma Frost, Longshot, etc. Or even better, give that screen time to Gambit, who apparently has nothing more than a cameo role. X-MEN 3 is rapidly turning into SUPERMAN III...At least Maggie Grace is out as Kitty Pryde. She was waaaaay too WASPy for the role.
-
Men who like to insert their penises into receptive vaginas and oscillate until ejaculation.
-
I'ma so sick to the death of a hearing about a the Gambit! Goddamn a pretty boy, with a the power to charge uppa the deck of the cards... a physically fit, with a the TOTALLY A PHONY cajun accent! A that's-a no mutant, that's-a the goddamn Adonis! I wanna the Beast! A say it a with me! I WANNA THE BEAST! I WANNA THE BEAST! I WANNA THE BEAST! But a what's uppa with a the Kelsey? He fall offa the stage like a the buffoon! Tha's notta the Beast! Holy crappa, I dunno what is the hell is a going on anymore with a that movie. I heard a he was a gonna save a the money by just stickin' a the Kelsey head onna the Sully body from a that Monsters movie. I tell him, "Ratso, just a use a the Kong suit and a paint it a the blue. I got it hangin' uppa inna my garage! I give you good price on it!" But he just spit back inna my face and say "No Dino, itsa my a movie, itsa my a rules!" Anna then, you know what he did? He a tell me he gonna use a the codpieces and a the nipples onna the suits! I don' believe it! He gonna be a the Ratmacher!
-
Think about it, instead of sweat, he can secrete grease from his pours that will make people slip. Than he can eat them.
-
What Ratner really needs instead of Stacy X is a mutant that has the power to seduce the audience to believe the movie isn't a complete peice of shit.
-
Having Ratner direct this, or someone allowing him to create a character when there's so many freakin' mutants in the books already they could make 20 movies. Marvel has lost that "eye of the tiger", it's with DC.
-
It seems I'm a foxy babe with this mutant power to seduce any man. What shall I be? A good-looking movie star's girlfriend? The wife of a multi-billionaire? No, no, I'm thinking too small. Hooker. That's the job for me.
-
... he should cast a the Reb Brown. You a know it alla to be true! He was a great inna the Captain America! I'MA THE GENIUS!
-
what do think about peter jackson kicking yer shitty KONG remake to the curb?
-
her power? she has a coochie with razor sharp teeth! better hope that adamantium flows through thine codpiece as well as thine buttocks, Logan, else you'll be singing soprano by breakfast. (ah, if only somebody would make a hard-R superhero movie... oh, right, they did, it was called ROBOCOP. well, they should make another one.)

why not have Apocalypse running the Sentinal program as a way to catch mutants for him to use in experiments in an effort to increase his own power/longevity. He could be using Genosha as a base of operations with all the "experiments" running loose, kind of a Island of Dr. Moreau thing.

I think I might just sit this movie out, and wait for the DVD. The one thing I am curious about though is why after much discussion on this site in other threads, did the site not report the news that the powers of be are now looking for a new Kitty Pride.

-
I mean unless the plan is to change her from 'mutant whore' to far more politically correct 'femme fatale' ala Mystique in the first two films, I just can't see this happening. But then Fox hired Brett "Medicrity Personified" Ratner to direct this major franchise and even film tentpole, so clearly no one over there has any fucking clue what they are doing in the first place...
-
O.K. I can...but Ilove a good train wreck as much as the next guy. This thing is going to suck so hard that it will never come out on DVD, its going straight to 8-track!
-
...in Oscar(TM)-winning actress, Halle Berry's Storm? Who wants to bet this Stacy character is the way they found to keep Maggie Grace in the production somehow? Man, I usually advocate waiting to see if how a movie turns out before condemning it but, if I'd heard these sorts of rumors pouring out of Iraq, I might have actually supported our pre-emptive strike policy. Someone tell GW that Ratner is building weapons of mass destruction. Or, better yet, that there's oil beneath the spot in Vancouver where they're shooting this. Whatever it takes.
-
Peter who? There's a gonna be another Kong movie? You gotta be a pullin onna my leg! Surely you be a jesting.

I guess Harry and Avid are not boys anymore. Avid just told AICN and all you fanboys to shut the hell up. Funny, in a way I agree, the venom in cyberspace has gotten predicitable and stupid. I hate Fox, Spidy should have webshooters, FF4 sucks ... whatever...all you guys suck...you got a faithful Batman movie and you guys shit on that. Hollywood isn't listening to you bastards anymore.
-
I am past outrage at the stupidity of how this franchise has been completely fucked up. Staci X, uh, right...There is no sane reason this pointless charatcer should be in any good X-Men movie. I predict that this movie will blow goats. Sorry, that's just the reality of it. Ratner had no concept as to how to handle Superman, and now he clearly has no concept as to how to handle the X-Men. He should do another project.

O my god, this is going to be Batman and Robin all over again.
They even have Poison Ivy in it. -

It's funny cause the guy who plays Magneto is a homosexual in real life and the movie plays on that fact. Mutant hookers are dumb. Aren't all the x-men and villains "pretty" people anyway? Do you really need a mutant power to help you seduce Joe the security gaurd when you already look like a model? I say get rid of the mutant hooker and have the x-men fight the brood. It'll never happen but it's a better idea than giving screen time to a mutant whose power is equivalent to beer goggles.

by johnnytremaine
Now, my boss, Mr. Rothman, thinks that all you fan boys need to get lives and girlfriends.
So what if Brett Ratner wants to add a mutant hooker to the cast? Poor Brett just broke up with his girlfriend and is looking for replacements. What better way than to audition hopeful, young actresses?
And all of you complaining that Gambit isn't featured prominently: do I detect maybe some latent attractions under the sarcastic facades and those Batman t-shirts?
Seriously (grins broadly), X-Men Three will be great! No need to worry! Please, all of you, depart this board and worry no more. Your beloved characters are in the trusting hands of the world's most talented, underated director, Joel Schum- I mean, Brett Ratner.
Huh? What is it? (whispers)
Well, gotta go! Mr. Rothman is tired and needs a foot massage.
Bye! -
It would be a twist if there were rumors of a mutant prostitute with seduction powers, but they were started by an abusive ex-boyfriend and people seeing photos of the alleged mutant prostitute assumed she would need to be a mutant to attract men because she appeared physically unattractive, but then in person it is revealed that people like her so much because she has a nice personality.
-
I don't know...Ratner is making some bad bad choices already and he hasn't even rolled one frame of celluloid yet. He's supplanting a compelling character for some cheap titillation. I understand that he needs to leave his own fingerprint on it, but if he paints himeslf into too much of a corner, X3 could be the last chapter of X-Men.
-
He throws playing cards for chrissakes. Yeah they're all suped up with special, magical, mutant sauce but it doesn't change the fact that he walks around throwing cards at people. It's just barely above the spoon throwing super hero from Mystery Men. He's a sillier, french accented, hero version of Bullseye. * Why not have the fireworks popping "Jubillee" while you're at it?
-
to bean counters & execs, it's all about collecting that valuable "18-30 yr old male" market share (i.e. t & a =$$$$$$). don't get me wrong, i like boobs too; but, that's why i have a girlfriend.
-
I don't know what's more fantastical... mutants that shoot lasers out of their faces or the thought of an ATTRACTIVE hooker.
Seriously though, maybe she'll just have a "Jubilee" moment a la X1. And Ratner might be OK. I haven't HATED anything he's ever done, and I like Chris Tucker. Maybe Chris Tucker can play Bishop... that'd be way cool.
I KNOW I'M NOT THE BOSS HERE BUT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN DOING D2VIDEO SEQUEL TITLES IN A DIFFERENT THREAD... I'D BE ANXIOUS TO SEE EVERYONE'S SUGGESTION FOR THE NEXT RATNER INSPIRED X-CHARACTER... I'M TALKING NAME, POWER AND WHICH ACTOR SHOULD BE CAST... THAT COULD BE FUNNY.
OR...
YOU COULD ALL JUST IGNORE ME EVEN THOUGH I'M TALKING IN CAPS AND I'LL GO SMOKE A BLUNT AND TRY TO FORGET I EVEN ASKED. -
She were the really ugly fat bitch... but she can seduce anyone with her pheromones despite her looks. But if she's hot, why does she need mutant powers at all?
-
therefore she can castrate the villians and swallow the heroes. ah, fuck it they should just make a full on porn. you know it's only a matter of time before the worlds most lucrative business becomes legitamite.
-
Has anyone else actually READ anything that involves Stacty X? I picked up one of the trades of Uncanny X-Men, around the time Angel started leading the team, and Stacy X is an AWFUL character!! Christ, she has pheremone powers (which could be cool) but she was always a shit character, poorly executed. A character with those powers could be interesting, but NOT at the cost of sacrificing precious screen time from the other, more important AND INTERESTING character!!
-
her power: she can judge if a mutant hooker has mutant hiv by just looking at her. imagine this scene: MUTANT HIV CLINIC COUNSELOR: "Hmm, i can tell by the massive thrush sores on your face that you have full blown AIDS! Uh oh! Here comes the Blob! Get 'em Vagina Dentata! Attack him with your AIDS POWER!!!!!!" VAGINA DENTATA, MUTANT CRACK HO WITH AIDS: "By the power of my diseased cooch, I give thee AIDS!" (a pussy stream of AIDS infected smegma flies from her cooch, hitting the Blob right in his ass) Blob: "ARRRGH! AIDS!!!"
-
Check it out! This is what they're doing to fuck it up even more!
PS Happy Canada day fellow Canadians -

-
...should take charge in this movie, and NOT be relegated to the Black Cat role in the Rogue/Iceman relationship. I like the idea that she can drive that wedge, but reducing her to a one-note is the wrong approach. What I do like is testing the Rogue/Iceman bit, if only to pull them closer together in the end. If this Zak Penn New Mutants-type spinoff takes flight (which I REALLY hope it does), then I'd be interested in seeing them play up the Kitty/Colossus relationship over there. Let them be the real stars of that movie, and have Dani Moonstar come in to teach Home Ec.

A link to Stacy-X. Like others have said, sounds like a geek's wetdream. "sigh" -
These guys get more real news about the Marvel films then AICN ever manages in all their rumor-mongering and sloppiness. I wonder if this interview will make it on the news page.
About the X3 "script" reviewed here:
"The script that was reviewed was verbally passed on. So its not like someone sent me the script. So I'm not even sure what they read. The script we have now and I've said time and time again... yeah I'm excited about our universe but rarely do I say this is the best script of them all. It gets better by the day."
Also, the FF screenings have had very positive results. The BK FF promotion is doing incredibly well already, and the FF game and toys are selling well.
Mike Vogel is out as Angel due to scheduling conflicts. Seems like this hurt Maggie Grace too. You'll hear about casting news for Kitty Pryde within 10 days.
Galactus in the Surfer movie WILL be like what you've seen in the comics. Not just a disembodied force.
Alan Cumming not coming back: Not a casting decision. X3 had 10 new mutants - some are "mind fucking... excuse me... mind boggling" characters. Some are on the Brotherhood side, some on the X-men. Just no screen time.
Recasting on Colossus? Only time to recast is scheduling conflicts. They liked the cast from previous films.
The "death of Marvel":
"Batman came and... left. You know what if that's the primary property of DC comics, we did more in 10 days with Spider-man then they have to date. If I'm shaking it's because I'm old"
Spider-man: We set out to make the biggest story of them all. Movies making 800 million, how do you top this?
X3: Took so long because they were going one direction and then came up with an idea so good they went a different way.
Sub-Mariner: Is Chris Colombus still attached? Yes.
Iron Man: Nothing to say about it. Soon you'll hear about it.
Are we going to see a onslaught Marvel comic films?
Luke Cage: in active development on re-write.
Hulk 2: Cannot wait to do Hulk 2. Maybe go with the suit? Mix it up with CGI? Getting closer to the Hulk is good. Having a combinaton of CGI and practical is the best - people are loving The Thing. Designer of The Thing is designing Beast, Angel and Juggernaut. -
Why is she a hooker?

by darksider
Maybe she will have the Legacy Virus and sleep with everyone. Ratner must be the villain because someone else must be using the Sentinels, Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, The Brood, Shiar, etc. A whore, the X-Men's greatest challenge yet!
-
Since there's space to waste, I was watching AI the other day, and I think Haley Joel Osmond should hook up with the lil girl from War of the Worlds. How's that for random? Gay marriage legalized? Let's bring on pedophilia! I'm gonna go write a column for a paper against homos and get myself arrrested for a hate crime... who hates Bush? WHo ahtes Michael Moore? Who wants to instead talk about a prostitute mutant who may be a background character seen for a fleeting second to make fanboys go, cool that's who that person is!???
-
Brett should cast the unbelievably hot adult film star Mya Lovely from Phatty Girls Vol. 3
-
but I thought the Stacy-X stuff came from an old interview with Vaughn who JOKED about putting in Stacy X, since she was one of his favorites, but he knew it would never happen in a PG-13 X-Men movie. I've also seen on various sites that they are auditioning a new Kitty Pryde and using Joss' Astonishing X-Men for sides. Check out: http://www.buffy.nu/article.php3?id_article=10211
Now I don't really see Summer Glau as Kitty Pryde, she just seems too exotic. Kitty's all-American, Midwestern (from Chicago) and well, Jewish. I think the perfect Kitty Pryde would be Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn from Buffy). She's the right combination of brattiness and sincerity for the part. And she looks the right age. I also agree that Kitty needs her own arc, not some lame love triangle with Rogue and Iceman. I want Kitty and Colossus! She's intangible and he's super-tangible (metallic). What a couple! -
So you're separate from "us" geeks, right? But the rest of us all need to "shut the hell up?" Way to deal in absolutes. By the way, not all of us complaining about what's going on with the production of X-Men 3 thought Spider-Man should have had synthetic webshooters, or hate Batman Begins, or anything else you can think of to further your facist agenda, you prick. But don't let the facts get in the way of your awesome rant about "Geeks" or anything. By the way, the people at IESB are tools, and so is Avi Arad, and so are you. Fuck off.
-
Lost Skeleton and Ribbons, I usually agree with what both of you have to say which is usually intelligent. Don't resort to the usual nastiness on this site.
-
I know I was nasty, and individually this Lost Skeleton dude didn't deserve it, but this whole "people who don't love Marvel movies unconditionally need to shut up" thing is getting pretty old. It's not like I'm telling him, or that pompous editor on IESB, that he's not allowed to look forward to X-Men 3. And then instead of trying to understand our point of view or just ignoring it altogether, they use senseless, derogatory "geek" stereotypes that are meant to embarrass us into silence in lieu of actually letting their arguments speak for themselves.

Don't know her and I don't really care. I'm assuming (if this news is legit) that she's only going to have a tiny role anyway if they're considering casting unknowns; she'll probably only be in a scene or two, tops, and she probably won't speak much in either of them.

I enjoyed the first two "X-Men" movies, although I wasn't blown away by them, but I can't believe what a trainwreck "X3" has become. Brett Ratner is now directing the film, on a rushed, big-budget schedule, without a script. Good god. I know films like "Apocalypse Now" and others turned out well after significant scheduling problems during production, but Ratner ain't no Coppola. Not even close. I think Fox should ditch "X3" until they get a handle on it, and instead focus on making the "Wolverine" stand-alone film. I was excited for "X3" when Vaughn was attached to direct it, but Ratner deflated any excitement I once felt. And now he's casually spoke about bringing an unimportant mutant whore in as a character? Yay, Brett. Nothing about mediocrity ever surprises me.

Why would a chick with the ability to intoxicate men (or women)
by i dunno
With that ability she could control the world. Why be a huer? I hate to jump on the anti X-Men bandwagon but, damn. As for the only thing that people like, Kelsey as Beast, you guys haven't thought this through. The audience is going to bust out laughing at a big furry Frasier.

I think the audience will laugh a lot more at a Juggernaut suit
by the heathen
but if they are also doing a Beast suit, that's what will be more funny, not a GOOD casting decision like Grammer. Fuck Stacy X. Guess this confirms that Ratner isn't even going to try and breakout of the typical Hollywood movie he usually does (if this rumor is true). If Fantastic Four is better than X3 at this point I won't be surprised. I saw somewhere on iesb that Vaughn said he wanted to toughen up the X-Men (then he was accused of insulting Singer. Waah, waah). Too damn bad we don't have him still. The madness continues!!!

WE MUST STOP HIM

Why not make the whole movie about a sexy mutant hooker girl? Go for an NC-17 rating and get someone hot to play her like Jessica Alba--but she has to be nude at least 3/4 of the movie. I'd go see that.

This is almost word for word the same rumor that was floating around when matthew vaughn was directing and turned out to be bullshit. somebody has just recycled the rumor.

It really makes you look moronic. Not calling you all morons, but you look like it with the e-petitions. If you honestly thing anyone anywhere would allow a petition of any kind affect any decision they have to make, you're insane. Then you have the -online- petition thing which is the biggest joke on the internet next to that fat Star Wars kid. It's pathetic.
-
They are rushing these movies just for the sake of it. Marvel is embarrassing itself.
-
Having encountered Ratner in social settings, I can tell you the guy is like an 8-year-old trapped in a man's body. He was a fat loser his whole life, and now that fame allows him to get girls he prances around acting like a socially retarded sleazeball, obviously trying to make up for lost time. I wouldn't be surprised if this "mutant hooker" thing was just a way for him to meet a lot of hot wanna-be starlets. This movie is going to suck regardless.
-
A sexy woman with pheromones? Not original. I imagine Uma Thurman will cringe once she learns that, after moving past her lame-o character in Batman & Robin, this production will no doubt invite comparison to Poison Ivy. As a matter of fact, there should be several parallels between the two movies once all is said and done.
-
For you people wondering why Stacy X is a hooker and hasn't seduced some millionaire, it's because she has snake-skin. She's reptillian and about as bizarre looking as Mystique is (in the movies). She hooks from a mutant whorehouse in Nevada. Trust me, if she were married to some millionaire, that millionaire would be ruined. Remember- mutants are hated and feared in the X-Men world.

there was a movie that was sort of a mutant killing people with sex, it was called 'liquid sky'...

by cryptosporex
This character was probably added when Vaughn was on board. This was posted on Zap2it.com on May 4th...http://www.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---25660,00.html
If the character is in the movie they will more than likely not make her a former prostitute. She more than likely will be one of those mutants thats has about one minute of screen time. This is the same kind of bitching that went on before X-men (Hugh Jackman, Bryan Singer, not in yellow spandex), Spiderman (Sam Rami, Toby Maguire, Organic webbing). Sorry to interupt the bitching here. Continue on. -

Seriously, Rogue should be hotter and not be a little girl anymore. Paquin no matter how old is still the little girl who humped trees in the Piano. And the X costumes could benefit from being more like the comic. I know on film it gives them all a uniform look, but maybe now they can experiment a bit.

Yeah! The curse continues! The rule is this: If DC has good comic movies, then Marvel's have to suck, and vice-versa!

Page Six is just all crap that Richard heard at a bar in Manhattan. The reason the column names the two "unknowns" who auditioned is because the "unknowns" are probably the real source of the story. A couple of skanks who ran into Richard Johnson and regaled him with their story of meeting with Ratner and demonstrating their mutant hooker skills, while he said things like, "Oh yeah, you can be the mutant hookers in my movie anytime...Look at me when you do that."
-
its amazing how this board has a tendency to over-react
First of all there is no indication that Stacy X (If she even makes it to the shooting script) will be in the film any more than colossus was in x2.
Secondly it was originally Vaughn's intention to put Stacy X in the film so maybe this is just smoke settling from his departure.
Stacy X is a terribly contrived character but she doesnt necessarily have to be, she could just represent the depression minorities go through during persecution. Do you know how many asian prostitutes were around during the california gold days? Or during the decades of black persecution? It was the only way they could find purpose besides being a target for bigotry. But i digress, i am not a fan of this move and agree that Ratner seems to be thinking with his penis, or the collective fanboy penis. Not sure which one exactly.
Gambit: Ok those bagging this character are not in the wrong, he was originally created during the early nineties obsession with creating characters that give credence to 'style over substance'. Yeah he's cocky, flashy and not wholly original. ON THE SURFACE. There have been some fantastic writers that have written gambit brilliantly, i.e his suave and arrogant demeanour as an armour for his own insecurities and hatred of himself and his experiences. In the hands of a good writer, Gambit can be more than two-dimensional. But we are fairly certain that Gambit will have no more than a cameo, and why not? Whats wrong with seeing a couple of extra mutants as a nod to the fanboy community. They dont have to take up that much screentime, and are a nice reference and visual.
Finally this is just conjecture but there is rumour of a third X-Men spinoff revolving on a high-school of mutants, quite soap-operary im assuming and aimed at a younger generation so this may be why x3 seems to be taking a more 'adult' direction. We ARE going to see more of the MUTANT COMMUNITY in this film, which will be a good thing. This doesnt necessarily mean that the film will be any good but collectively we know JACKALL for certainty apart from the characters of Beast and Angel appearing and Warren Sr being the bad guy, we can complain and speculate and post dream treatments but when it comes down to it, the only ones that can give us any information on the films direction are THOSE THAT HAVE READ THE RECENT SCRIPTS. So how bout this Mori, Quint, Harry and Co. How about you stop giving us bullshit tidbits and give us some real fucking details. -
those were the good ole days...down in west london.
-
The thing is Ratner is occupied with getting stupid characters cameos in the movie, when he should be focusing on putting this sorry piece of shit together. This guy, honestly, seems to be a real dummy, and obviously doesn't have his priorities in order to make this a decent movie. The news on this movie amazingly gets worse and worse and worse...Fox, get a fucking clue! It's time to delay production on this trainwreck in order to save future movies, otherwise this is undoubtably the last one.
-
How many vague cameos and unidentified mutants where in x2 and x1? Shadowcat, Jubilee, A Teleporter, Colossus, A Quicksilver-esque speedster, Iceman, Pyro, Henry McCoy, A toad-like boy, Stryker's Son who is similar to Mastermind, A refence to Remy Lebeau... probably a couple of others i missed. These are all loosely based on real x-characters and didnt detract from the films at all. In fact they gave continuity to mutants as a whole. A post about a Cameo (If this is what this is) doesnt mean shit about the storyline. Collectively cameos might take up as most as ten minutes of screentime if they all stretch them out to the extreme (Which they might) TEN MINUTES of reasonably acceptable visual excitement. Oh yeah, I guess i would be complaining too.
But i agree with what the core of what your saying. It would be a horrible mistake to focus wholly on a variety of different characters in sacrifice of a decent plot. But a cameo (And this could actual be a cameo that gives some sort of substance to the mythology, but i doubt it) is not a character. Cyclops is a character, Beast is a character, Angel is a character, Phoenix is a character, Magneto is a character, Wolverine is a character, Xavier is a Character. *Cringe* Storm is a character. Iceman, Rogue, Shadowcat, Mystique - They're characters. Juggernaut (Fuck it!) He could be a character. When it all comes down to it, acrually that does seem like a hell of a lot of people. And Magnolia this aint.
-
from the Ratner-bashing to bring attention to the "unknown" Aya Sumika who was the best thing in that abortion of a TV show called Hawaii. She is God's gift to heterosexual men the world over. Sister, DON'T DO IT! Two abominations in a row ain't helping your career! If you avoid this, you're automatically smarter than Halle Berry! And she's got a fucking oscar! Gorgeous, take my advice: make your bones in indie films and the studios will take notice. Besides, Ratner's a troll.
-
And i suppose Warren Sr is a character to. So lets say hypothetically that is about the same as x2, which had Nightcrawler, Stryker and Deathstrike in replacement of Beast, Angel, Juggernaut, Shadowcat and Warren Sr
Lets hope that character exploration is handled as well as Nightcrawlers in x2, a couple of very short conversations gave life to him. But the way the speculation is going, the character arcs are handled. Xavier doesnt need an arc. Phoenix and Cyclops (and maybe wolverines) may be interlinked. Wolverines and Magnetos (and Mystiques) may be interlinked. Shadowcat, Iceman and Rogues may be interlinked. Beast will have to have some kind of exploration. Angel and Warren Sr's will be interlinked. Juggernaut doesnt need one (But may get one if they go the brother route). Mind you this is all speculation. But when it comes down to it what im saying is AS LONG AS THIS IS ALL HANDLED PROPERLY it MIGHT NOT be that bad. And no i am not Brett Ratner. Really im not. -
From http://www.uncannyxmen.net, this pretty much sums it up (emph added) Stacy X "secretes her own pheromones upon skin-to-skin contact, allowing her to stimulate body functions in others to cause orgasms, VOMITING, NAUSEA, RECTAL MALFUCTIONS, etc"
Well, her powers seem to be working, that's for DAMN sure. -

First off, if you haven't seen War of the Worlds, I would take great caution before entering those gates. I went in not reading any reviews, and I left wishing that I would have visited my local White Castle instead.
What really got to me was that there was a movie promo poster for X3 (you know the one with the 3 claws and crap). Now don't get me wrong, but I saw that I had to laugh, seeing how they are still working on a friggin script and all.

Also Alec Baldwin's The Shadow. Even though I think I liked that movie but I can't remember. Anyway Ratner and all this hack work is simply because Fox and Avi Arad are uber pissed at Singer for leaving. So they will do anything to try and hurt Superman's boxoffice even that means destroying a franchise. It's good to see that these rich idiots are so mature. I promise Paris Hilton will be casted as Stacy X, hopefully she'll get pole through the head like in her other two movies haha.

That's an argument you lose by definition in the course of raising it. As for the mutant hooker with pheromones, isn't that exactly what Poison Ivy did in Batman & Robin? I mean, if that movie ever existed, which it didn't.
-
IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME DON'T DO IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!! X3 is gonna be horrible, seriously, someone should do the world a favour and castrate Ratner
-
With all the mutants supposedly going to be running around, X3 sounds like it's going to be as bad as "Street Fighter: The Movie" -- where lots of characters were just thrown in without regard to their background stories ("You, fat guy! You'll be a cameraman and you can be E. Honda. And you, Van Damme! Let's pretend we don't hear that accent and you can be the great American soldier, Guile!")
--so I think if they make this f'd up X3 movie, they should just go ahead and use the costumes from the comic books. Let Wolverine wear yellow spandex, let Cyclops wear a mask that covers his hair, and let Colossus walk around in his human form wearing that gay outfit. -
so X3 by Ratner and Dungeon Siege shall duke it out for the coveted oscar for best motion picture of 2006...i can see it...X3 is like the greatest third movie of a franchise ever...greater than Return of the King...and Dungeon Siege is a mix of LOTR and Braveheart...great Dr. Boll's words,not mine...so those movies won like 400 oscars combined so Boll's should win like 800 and sweep every category and he'll be hailed as the next great director...a cross between Spielberg, Kurosawa, PJ, Scorcese, Walt Disney and Michael Jackson errr......where am i?

I have faith in this movie.
Im a horribly commited x-fan. And initial rumours and tidbits for this movie look grim. After reading the first script review I turned off the computer and mulled over it for a good couple of hours, then turned on the computer and re-read it, just to make sure it hadnt been a figment of my diseased and paranoid imagination. I foolishly looked for the positives but found little; Singer had left, Vaughn had been replaced by fairly universally labeled hack. Ratner didnt seem like a good choice for X-Men and Marvel had lost their good track record with their films so i couldnt fall back on that. Alan Cumming and probably Nightcrawler was gone. Another example of the bitter and shallow Hollywood Machine.The new cast looked bad (Although i do like Frasier as Beast, thankfully Grace is gone, Glau might be ok as Shadowcat if cast and I am sceptical of Jones' Juggernaut) The X3 vision seemed Grim. Ratner seemed like horny schooboy moron. And the released plot elements didnt give me hope. Dark Phoenix never the main picture? Sure thats fine, but she had better be PRETTY DAMN IMPORTANT to the story. Warren Sr as the bad guy and a mutant cure? Why not use existing X-Villain Nathaniel Essex? He doesnt have to be white and freaky, just an amoral geneticist. Nothing seemed to give credence to the hyperbole - This was not going to be a EPIC, CLASSIC X-men story. This was going to be a contrived cashcow. Too many apparent characters and a horrible director, rushed script and development times - x3 was looked to destroy the quality of the franchise.
--- There is only one thing that has made me turn. One thing that has given me faith. --- Not Avi Arad or Ratners insistant hyperbole, or Donner and Jackman's smug confidence. Or Rothman's Hollow assurances and Kinbergs insistence that 'it's really about character. ... versus just about what they can blow up' .- Neil Gaiman Gave me Faith - One of the greatest comic book writers of all time has visited the X-Offices. What he says is not wholly positive, he admired the concept art so hopefully it will look good (Fantastic Four, looked good though). He heard mutterings on budget complaints, the movie would not be told the way it wanted to be. Too many powers and mutants, too many FX.Without the hoped fo budget, he says the final sequence would be reduced to a 'pulse-pounding tiddlywinks battle between wolverine and magneto'. Overall, why not incredibly enthusiastic he is not completely disheartened either. WAIT! WHAT WAS THAT? WOLVERINE AND MAGNETO? FINAL BATTLE?
Please put your hand up if you have read Grant Morrisons X-Men Run. Do you remember that ending? Or perhaps Fatal Attractions? Do you remember that ending?
If i see those endings It will redeem the film. They beg to be cinematically realised. If i see a whedon cure subplot, a brotherhood vs. x-men conflict, a dark phoenix mutant/human terrorism. And then the ending... I will be happy. I am going to have faith in this movie. Because as a ridiculously passionate X-Fan, and that's all I have.
-
It sounds like bullshit, right? I mean come on, this can't be right. And if it is... well, fuck!
-
Do or do not, there is no try.
Do something right for fuck sakes.... wait for another director.... why don't bring Cameron on board? He was going to direct Spidey, have him direct X3. -
Seriously--- Is anybody looking forward to this train wreck now?

Fox Guy: "So, Brett, here's the X Men 3 script. Now You can't make much, or any changes, because we need to start filming in August to meet that May release date." Brett Ratner: "So, you passed on my idea for Rush Hour 3?" FG: "Really, Brett, Rush Hour 3 was just as dumb and lame as the first 2." BR: "Yeah, but the idiot American's saw it." FG: "Yeah, well, what do you want? Anyhoo, any questions?" BR: "Yeah, I was thinking we should add a hot, female mutant who dresses like in some whore type costume -you know something that barely covers her tits." FG: "Mmm, yeah, I can see that. The fanboys would like that." BR: "That way you can market the film a bit wider. Think of it, maybe more comic book fan geek boys, you know the straight white males your demopgraphic department likes so much -and, ironically, they are the same Rush Hour fans - would like to see this." FG: "But what about what Bryan Singer has done with the story so far? Are we no betraying much of the mythology if do this?" BR: "Oh, come on, you guys at Fox hate him because he bolted to do Superman where he would have much more creative freedom. Besides, you guys at Fox were never comfortable with the whole gay anology that Ms. Signer put on the series." FG: "Yeah, you're right. So, if we put some hot chick with a scimpy outfit and is into S&M, we'll get more straight guys to watch?" BR: "Possible. But the jerks who post at AICN are all up in arms." FG: "Fuck them. They know nothing. Movies are not about story and characterization. They're about blowing things up and show women naked. I mean, look at your career. And Slyvestor Stallone. Or Adam Sandler." BR: "See? Listen Fox Guy, if I'm right, all you got to do is show a whorey girl in X Men 3, and it will make shit loads of money. Show a bit of nipple and not one of those fan boys will care about the story or that Ms. Singer is not directing or that whiny queen Alan Cummings is not in it. Look, I mean, Fraiser is in it."******************And in a distant future -May 2006 -the soul of another great franchise dies because of second rate CGI, a dumb script, and even dumber director was assigned a movie by suits who only care about the box office. Sigh

Didn't Ivy seduce Batman and Robin with her special 'seducing' powers? So lame. I can picture this now "Wolverine, don't you want me?" To which Wolverine responds "No...I love....Jean..."
Lame. Lame. Lame. -
yawn......
-
As long as they make X movies, cameos will be part of the films. The problem is Ratner wants to put a lame, hardly used mutant in the movie that hardly anyone cares about. Doesn't that kind of worry some people when he should be focusing on fleshing out the characters that are already in the movie and working on making a very questionable script into a good movie with hardly any time before production gets underway? The guy needs to get his fucking priorities in order, but based on his past movies I doubt quality control is on the top of his to do list. Add that to the fact that the guy sounds like a coked up retard in every interview he does and I think we have some serious problem. Thanks again Fox.

Regardless of whether or not Stacy-X is in the movie or not, thi
by adolfoliver
...and wasn't "Staci-X" a movie with Lisa Kudrow and Damon Wayans?
Well, if previous posts about what Avi Arad has said about the movie are true, then I am really disappointed with all of it. Being a NIGHTCRAWLER fan, it sucks to know that they have abandoned a very original character as well as a performance that that was so favorably regarded by both critics and the public. Kelsey Grammer might be good, I just don't see his body as that of the BEAST's. The only reason he is stalky is because he is overweight. Grammer's body is more lean when he is fit, as evidenced by early episodes of "Cheers". Either they put him in a bulky suit that would undermine any sense of agility, or use heavy CGI with Kelsey's ugly mug on top. Either way will likely come off as goofy. If the producers decide to give STORM a love interest, then they should look to ANGEL for that and not WOLVERINE. I remember a little bit of romance between the two years ago anyway, and this seems a lot more plausible given what has occurred in the books and even in the films. As for STACY-X, I sincerely hope that they abandon the character. Using the cliche, over-sexed slut in a summer blockbuster to draw in the guys will only have their girlfriends, not to mention women in general, rolling their eyes, and ultimately dissuades repeat viewings. Other, more interesting female villains they can draw upon include the WHITE QUEEN, TEMPO, SPIRAL, the SCARLET WITCH, or VERTIGO, to name a few. Sure, these women might be sexy, but at least they would have character beyond what is held up with their bra.
Just my thoughts on the matter. -
Ratner is taking this idea from an epp of Mutant-X that ultra crappy show. There was an evil skank that secreated a pheramone that made all men do her bidding (she also had a scorpion tail come out of her wrist - no i'm not making this up - when she wanted to kill)
The only good thing about this plot was...oh wait, no.. there was nothing good about it at all.

Good post, and I have to say I'm very much on your side. Perhaps guys like you and I aren't as jaded or cynical (or intelligent, who knows) as the rest, but I still feel a guy like Avi Arad really does care about these characters. Fox has already handled the X-films very well--not perfectly, but very well--twice, under Rothman both times, so I'm willing to give them a little good faith. And let's break away from this holy auteur notion for a second and realize that while Bryan Singer was incredibly important to shaping the X-Men's world, he wasn't the only guy involved. Sure, maybe Brett will be a little less resistant to studio notes, maybe he'll give them a glofified cash cow--I don't know. I really will have to wait to see this thing before I judge it. But if this is truly the best script of the Marvel films, that has me excited. Finally, GreatWhiteWhale, I completely agree with you that the Fatal Attractions ending would be amazing. It was hinted at in the train in X1, and would be a really great launching vehicle for Wolvie's solo movie. There... is... still... good... in it... [dies]
-
Is it just me, or does studio involvement in successful superhero movie franchises create a downward spiral at about installment number 3? If not, then surely by number 4?
Why not just cast PeeWee Herman as Wolverine and quit disguising bad creative decisions for something truly knee-slapping? -
...The execs at Fox are prob'ly going to have to tease the X-Men fans with some juicy little tidbits during production to lower the level of rancor being thrown at them. Unfortunately, I don't expect any of this to be plot points. I figure they'll throw some photos of Beast and Angel our way in the next few months in order to divert our attention away from the plot. I just don't have much faith in these people after what I've heard and read.

I want a big screen version of the Scientology story. It would be all about how Xenu ended overpopulation with the atomic bombs. Think of it like The Passion for Scientologists.

Why, oh why, do the powers-that-be in Hollywood still have no capacity to hire COMPETENT people to make a movie?
Brett Ratner is proving the Peter Principle all too correct. Incompetence at all levels, with the incompetent hiring the incompetent. With this buffoon leading this movie down the toilet, is it any wonder how much longer it will be before these movies will no longer be made?
Want a good example?
Just take a look at the last two Star Trek films that were made. Rick Berman KILLED that franchise because he, too, is incompetent.
It all adds up. The X-Men movie franchise is now following the same formula. -
The movie doesn't suck, but she does.
