Vinnie Jones spills a bit about The Juggernaut!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a nice healthy rumor about the character of Juggernaut, supposedly from the lips of the big behemoth himself, Vinnie Jones. It's not much, but when it comes to a series like the X-Men films every little tidbit adds up. I hope Ratner delivers the goods. I'm not holding my breath, but I'm semi-optimistic. No matter what, I really like the casting of Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut. Let's see how the character is executed onscreen. Let's hope those one-liners he mentions aren't too horrible.
Hi Harry,
Just a titbit from here in Sunny England, not sure if
you have heard any of this before but here we go.
Just watching an interview with soccer hard man turned
actor Vinny Jones on a morning show called GMTV.
Vinny was at a charity poker tournament, where 1 of
the items under auction was his chair from the set of
xmen 3. When asked about the film he said he had go
through 4 hours of makeup every morning to get ready
for the role of juggernaut, which included the boots.
He also said that he had some good 1 liners in the
movie, & that his character, although he didnt have
much screen time, played an important role in the
film.
Move importantly he revealed that he has signed for
Xmen 4 & 5 !!!!!!!!
Hope this is of some interest.

by seppukudkurosawa
the advantage of this being, if he and Rooney ever sidled-up and had a little tiff on the pitch, one of them would have to be extinguished. Which is good... Also this quote made me laugh: "his character, although he didnt have much screen time, played an important role in the film", just like every other screen part you've played eh Vinnie? And if the next post after this has the words, "Jealous much?" in it, I will personally come down there and lop yer fookin 'ed off. Yeah, that means you.

Anyway, he probably just has an option in his contract for further movies, just incase this is a bigger hit than expected, and they want to go on. It doesn't mean any future movies are going to be made...

I was always concerned about seeing him onscreen. I wish they'd gone for a small helmet like Magnetos. The wider one gives him no neck and just looks stupid and I just don't see how they can do his powers effectively onscreen...I mean he just rams stuff.

That this feature a car chase, which is made different because it's a MUTANT CAR CHASE! God, what a stupid idea. I think that this one will fail at the story/writing level, to be honest. Ratner can point his camera. But if he's got nothing to point it at, he tends to linger on the breasts of various models that he casts for that very reason. So... well, we'll see.

Their costumes have ALWAYS looked nearly identical. Let it go.

Xmen 3 is going to bomb harder than the Hulk or Blade 3. Or whatever other crap comic movies bombed.
The Juggernaut is only in the movie long enough to crack a few one liners and then get beaten? He's juggernaut! One of the biggest and baddest villains in the history of Xmen! And no they want to turn him into the newest version of Bane, or Sabertooth.
I'm sorry. I'm a huge Xmen fan and have been for 15 years and what they are doing to this series is inexcusable. Way too many characters spoiling to proverbial soup. Seriously...and why are we still getting Magneto and Mystique as major characters. Get rid of them already. Both are great character with potential but I'm sick of seeing them. Jesus. Give me Apocalypse or Mr. Sinister or Sentinels or the Phalanx virus or Stryfe, etc, etc, etc.
I think it is obvious that this movie has fallen into a major rut, where the studio is trying to get as much "new" merchandising material out of this movie without spending the big bucks it deserves. That way when the movie does flop, it still makes a profit no matter what.
I've been looking forward to this movie ever since part 2 hinted the arrival of the Pheonix. Now the more news that comes out the more sickened I feel. -

Eh. About the contract thing, I think that studios probably do that all the time. That doesn't necessarily mean any sequels are planned for the immediate future, but Fox has had their fingers all over the franchise since Day One, and if they really decide that it would be profitable to make a sequel they will, with or without any of the current creative team involved. Or maybe not, I really don't know how these things work. But that'd be my guess.

I'm by no means defending the movie as it was very disappointing to me, but Hulk, despite its crappiness was hardly a failure. It made over a $100 mil I seem to recall. Anyway, I hope that Juggernaut doesn't suck, because then I would be CRUSHED! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHApuke! Also kudos tonagan for that good ZZZING! to Whedon.

He should look like Ram Man because the characters look extremely similar. This is like complaining that King Kong looks a bit too much like a giant monkey.
They are two characters who wear similar style, flat helmets. The both charge into things to destroy them. What the fuck do you want him to look like? Bullet tooth Tony? -
Not that it's definitely going to happen, of course. However, this conflicts with rumors of Juggs dying in X3. I smell bullshit.

Mooly: Neither Hulk, nor Blade3 bombed. Both made more money than you've ever seen. Blade3 was actually pretty good. And try not to double post, it takes up valuable space which other posters can use to bitch about movies they know they're going to see at least 3 times anyway.
I_Snake_Plissken: Don't bother, x3 could sweep the oscars, cure cancer and bring about peace in the middle east and these guys would still obsessively bitch about it. they have nothing else.
Vinnie Jones is a better actor than you.

I don't read the comics so maybe I'm wrong, but in the 90's X-men cartoon, Juggs cracked some pretty bad one-liners. Does he do the same in the comics? They were bad, but the delivery, I thought, worked well with the character.

There's NOTHING here. What's the breaking story that they'll be "one liners"? Is Fox paying you to promote this flick? Come on, quit wasting our time with these useless "updates".

I sense a disturbance in the force. No review for Underworld 2 spells bad blood or what? Come clean. Hell, the first one wasnt perfect but it rocked in parts and actually is a kewl story. Saw the second tonite and it was even better than the first. It is what it is, an action sci-fi thriller. It is not a horror movie in any way what so ever. But we knew that going in, didnt we? I read some reviews on other sites and they are way off base. I was totally entertained from start to finish as was the packed theater that saw it with me. Obviously there is some bad blood back story to this production, thus the cold shoulder. Get over yourselves. Sure, their may not have been advanced showings but who cares, post a thread for the fans or haters to discuss the highs and lows.

Juggernaut:"Hey if you went camping with a good friend and woke up with your ass sore and bleeding would you tell anyone?"
Wolverine: "Uhh...no."
Juggernaut: "Wanna go camping?" -
Ratner added that one.

How can you not have sentinels in an X-men trilogy. Is Hollywood that fucking clueless??? A giant Sentinel slowly and methodically scanning for renegade mutants could be one of the best teasers ever made. But Fox still have their thumbs firmly up their asses.

This was posted almost 2 weeks ago on superherohype. And it wasn't really news then either.

All this talk about what TRANSLATES well misses the whole point
by halski
If you ever wonder what looks good on screen, you're missing it ... and you're not alone. Most movie-makers don't seem to get that the key isn't what it looks like the AUDIENCE but rather what it looks like to the CHARACTERS in the movie. Not to come off like Professor Movie here (I've never made a movie in my life, so may I should shut my big mouth, but whatever), but think about all the most classic imagines in movie history ... the SHOWER SCENE in "Psycho," the EYEBALL in "2001," the STATUTE OF LIBERTY SCENE in "Planet of the Apes," ... hell, even ROSEBUD in "Citizen Cane." Now ask yourself - is it more important that the knife-wielding psycho, the crazy space tunnel, the destroyed statute, or the sled looked good on screen? Or is it more important that you believed the reaction of the actors? So my point is this --> IF YOU PUT THE SENTINELS ON SCREEN, IT WILL WORK ONLY IF THE ACTORS BUY IT ... is their reaction believable? If you don't think they can pull off a realistic reaction (regardless of how good or bad the robots look, to an extent), then don't do Sentinels. Personally, I'd like to see the Hellfire Club and the Morlocks ... they'd make a great contrast between high society and gutter mutants.
-
Did it it just fall off the face of the earth?
-
but i think X3 is going to get "schumachered" as a poster above mentioned. then again I should shut my mouth and just wait to see it. and then again maybe they will get Uwe Boll for the later sequels!!! and speaking of comic book movies, what about "Ghost Rider?" with Nic cage and Eva Mendes ,directed by the a-hole behind daredevil. in a couple years we can categorize comic book movies: the Good stuff(faithful adaptations)( Spider man, Batman begins, X1,X2,Sin City, Ghost World,Road to Perdition)Campy Classics( T. Burton's Batmans, Superman) the mediocre stuff( Daredevil, Punisher, Fantastic 4, Hulk)the bad(Barbwire, Judge Dredd, Tank Girl)& the shumachers ( batman 3&4). Schumacher has a firm hold to the Schumachers but it is looking alot like Brett Rattner can be the first non-schumacher in that category.
