Bryan Singer To Return To The X-MEN Franchise?? We've Heard Of His 'Interest' Before...Now There Are 'Talks'!!

Published at:  Oct 12, 2009 10:52:30 AM CDT


Merrick here...





This Bryan Singer infobit pretty much speaks for itself...



"I'm still looking to possibly returning to the 'X-Men' franchise. I've been talking to Fox about it," Singer said at a talk at South Korea's Pusan International Film Festival.

"I love Hugh Jackman. I love the cast," he said, referring to the Australian actor who plays Wolverine.


...says AP HERE.

A spectacular possibility? Not necessarily. But (almost) anyone's better than Ratner...

    Feel bad for Singer

    by fa_tass_dinomolester

    Back when he did X-Men and X2, it seemed like he had broken into the "big-time"...now, after Superman and Valkyrie, he's just floundering aimlessly. But then, I guess he'd fit right in with the rest of Hollywood these days...

    The other day I was talking to Ratner about Ratner...

    by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for

    and we were wondering whether or not Ratner would consider coming back to direct Ratner 4. We also wondered if Ratner could convince Ratner to play Ratner again and were curious as to what hairstyle Ratner would have. We are big fans of Ratner and don't think there's anyone better suited to bringing Ratner to the screen than Ratner. Ratner.

    Too hard on Ratner

    by frankenberry

    You guys are too hard on Ratner. The storyline for X-Men: The Last Stand was pretty much in place when he joined the film. Rothman is the reason X3 failed. If Ratner hadn't directed the sequel, someone like Paul W.S. Anderson would have.

    by loyalfromlondon

    Considering everyone was either killed or depowered at the end of X3, only a direct sequel to X2 would work.

    Kinda like how Superman Returns forgets the events of Superman III and IV.

    by mr. nice gaius

    ...and I have to say that I was somewhat surprised. The film was much better than I thought it was going to be and I was glad to see that Singer still has some chops. Granted, the film amounts to nothing more than a recreation of events but I thought it was handled well and had solid performances from all the actors (even a very subdued Cruise). All in all, a respectable rebound from the borefest known as SUPERMAN RETURNS.

    I think the X-MEN franchise is dead.

    by mr. nice gaius

    The films have gotten progressively worse and the first two do not stand up to repeated viewings. IMHO, I don't believe we've gotten a proper X-MEN film. What we have seen is a Wolverine-centric franchise that has really blown it when it comes to the other MAIN characters (not to mention the missed casting opportunities - i.e. Storm, etc.).Singer may have started these films with some good ideas but, in hindsight, they all fall flat. And I think Singer's directing style is more suited to other genres. That being said, I'd really like to see him move on to other things and for the powers-that-be to finally put the X-MEN franchise to rest.

    While I think comic book movies in general owe a great debt to Singer for taking the material seriously, I'd rather see them start over than continue with the mediocrity. None of the X-Men movies have been great (I know X2 has its fans but I felt it was kind of boring) and I'd still like to see a short or average height Wolverine that's actually dangerous!

    If you know anything about X-Men: TLS, you know that Ratner was just a hired gun. The various script problems had nothing to do with him - the filming was about to go and they needed to shoot what was written. The direction is fine because he basically just apes Singer throughout. Ratner did nothing wrong.

    I think if Singer returns to the franchise he needs to avoid the 3rd movie. He also needs to FINALLY add Gambit (and not the idiot who played him in the Wolverine movie) and adding the Sentinels is also a must. Also, can we please get another actor to play Cyclops.

    easy to fix xmen franchise

    by aabiohazard1972

    enter Mr sinister, have him teleport cyke while phoenix was kissing/dissolving him (we never see his actual death scene, so there is room to maneuver there)(you can even make Jean secretly a clone, ala Madelyn Pryor in comics, grown cells from Jeans corpse and not the real deal, you could leave her dead, give white queen a chance) so he has mysterious death, same for Xavier with a twist, Sinister thought he was t-porting/kidnapping both people, in reality he gets cyke and an empty brain Xavier; now the movie is recovering Xaviers true body and rescuing cyclops...DONE
    Oh and try and put in a real 30 foot tall sentinel so we can enjoy that at least; Sinister should be played by the guy on lost (the time travel PHD guy who died last season) so what do you think?

    by zardoz

    I loved X1 and X2. X3 was such utter shite that I refused to even watch Wolverine. We all got screwed when Singer left X3. Instead of an epic conclusion to the X-trilogy, we got a watered down mess of a film. And a bloated and boring Superman movie. The only thing that would remove the bitter taste from my mouth is getting the original story that Singer wanted to tell for X3. Otherwise, fuck it, let's move along people, there's nothing to see here...

    not all comics stories are cool, sometimes they crew the pooch and a more talented writer needs to fix within the confines of what has occurred, hence my idea for fixing the Xmen, it could be done
    as an addition here is too something good to go for the movie fix, they cure from last movie ...wears off, not permanent so Rouge could have a substantial character arc of angst with the return of abilities (insert really dirty minds here) not to mention the government back up plan just went to the shitter (lets not forget Mystique's power return places her in the Gov as an adviser she could Fake having lost her abilities to continue to snow the administration, all good stuff guys

    No, I'm not out of my cotton picking mind. Gany, I'm just going to have to disagree with you on this one. Not only do I find X2 to be a bit overrated (and kind of a mess), I've come to the conclusion that the first two films are boring and handle the X-team rather poorly. The X-MEN aren't supposed to be THE WOLVERINE SHOW.Also, I flat out disagree on the idea that Singer is the "best comic book casting director in History." If that were the case, then Storm, Rogue, Iceman, Sabretooth and several others would have been handled more appropriately.Quote: "His X-man cast was almost perfect."Well then, you must be placing a HUGE emphasis on "almost". Because other than Xavier, Magneto, and Wolverine...everyone else was a boring, poorly written, and underused cypher.

    Source Material, Really?

    by cartoonfanboy

    It's so fucking annoying when geeks talk about movies like Singer's X-men as weak compared to the source material. What source material are you referring to? The Stan Lee/Jack Kirby comics? Because those are dated and suck giant Juggernaut balls. Are you talking about the Claremont and Byrne run? Ok, those are good but the characters were already established and you can't expect an average movie goer to be as well versed in X-men history as a regular comic book reader (and if you say otherwise your retarded, this isn't Superman's origin that everyone knows).

    Speaking of Superman the ridiculous amount of Singer bashing that goes on here in regards to that movie is pathetic. Yes the movie is flawed but it's nowhere near the shit fest you losers make it out to me. Oh and anyone who uses Singer's sexual orientation as a means to insult him is just lazy.

    XMEN Reboot

    by 5 by 5

    Well, we could look at the "reboot" idea this way - both Xmen 1 & 2 were good Wolverine-centric movies. Then there was another Wolverine movie. Xmen 3 doesn't exist. Okay, now Wolverine is established. Then we go back and establish more characters. Then, eventually, when we're all 90, we have an XMen finale that involves all the Xmen together and by that time movies will be 3D and beamed into our brains and their running time will be like 3 times as long because we won't be going to theaters anymore and we won't need pee breaks.

    by jack_mort

    Is his ability to balance a large cast of characters, hence why X-Men 1 hit it big at the box office. But let's bring in a younger director, someone who's hungry for success but proven themselves on a smaller front, like Nolan before Batman or Singer before X Men. Maybe Darren Aronofsky anyone? He needs a big budget for once.

Honestly I would like it to sit on the shelf for awhile and start again from scratch.

    RATNER SAYS: "X3 made the most narrative sense"

    by thunderpeel2001

    Wow.

    "You can't make these people happy. I'm kind of the Anti-Christ to these comic book geeks. Every single person that wrote shit went to see that movie multiple times because a movie doesn't gross $200 something million unless people go to see it more than once. Every single person who said, 'I'm never seeing that movie,' they were the first ones there.

    "What are they concerned about? It's out of the filmmaker's hands. A film is a collaborative effort. How's a person sitting at home going to worry about how a movie is going to turn out to be? I just know one thing: Mine outgrossed the other two by far. Mine was the one that made the most narrative sense. And I'm not knocking Bryan's movie but he just does a certain thing; Bryan uses his brain and I use my eye and my instincts more. It's a whole different approach to making a movie. I'm not saying my movie wasn't smart; I just wasn't intellectualising it. I was just looking at it as pure entertainment value which is what it was."

    "The most ridiculous statement I've read is - and of course I looked at the internet after the movie came out - that I buried the franchise. If I buried the franchise how the fuck did they make a Wolverine movie? I mean, that's ridiculous. And they're making three other fucking X-Men movies. Mine kept the franchise alive!"

    "...they could have brought Spielberg on at the same point they brought Ratner on, and the movie wouldn't have been any better." That's a bit excessive, isn't it? I agree that Ratner gets too much hate for that movie's shortcomings; it actually delivered a lot more on the action front than Singer's films did. But the pacing, handling of the actors, and other fundamental issues with X3 showed how mediocre Ratner is. As for Singer, I don't really care. X1 and X2 were solid, but damned boring. They really were. Maybe its because I never closely followed the X-Men comics, but I found both films to be plodding and anti-climactic. Brian Cox rules though.

    All the X-films sucked!

    by violator90

    All the X-movies were about Wolverine and less about the team, which made for bad movies. And I agree with the fact that most of the blame should go on the writers of the scripts. Directors/producers usually have to follow the script, no matter how shitty it may be. Hell, unless your names are Spielberg, Cameron or Lucas, I doubt that all the blame can go to those Ratner and Singer; though then are they the worse ones for superhero movies. Hell, why is it so hard to find some one that knows and respect the source material?! Look at IRON MAN and THE DARK KNIGHT. The studio got guys that knew and respected the source material and the end result: movies that were great.

    Nowadays, the fucking studios stick their noses more in the movie than they should and hence we get some shitty movies. But there are so many sagas in the X-Men universe all they had to do is just pick one and follow it. Everything is there in the comics: setting, dialogue, characters, etc. But then we wouldn’t get shitty movies if people would just stop going to them. Wait till they’re on DVD or cable people! But the biggest mistake was making a tall lean Wolverine. I agree with the Green Gargantua, Wolverine is a short stalky hairy guy that is a psycho but becomes a hero through the X-Men. That’s Wolverine. I would love to see the Brood saga or even see just a reboot from the very start. The original X-Men and how Professor X got them all together but instead of Magneto as being the threat, make it the damn Sentinels! WE WANT SENTINELS!

    X3's "success"

    by zardoz

    Sure, it made a ton of money. Why? Because the first two were so good that expectations were through the roof for the third. Each film made more money as more people discovered them. X1 was a hit at the box office, but not a huge hit. There was virtually no "buzz" from the general public when that film was released. I'm a huge X-Men comics fan, and even I was expecting it to completely suck when I went and saw it on opening weekend. I was very pleasantly surprised by the film, and felt it was a good beginning for the series. Most people discovered it on DVD and TV. Then more people went to X2 and it was a bigger hit at the box office because it was a better film than X1. By the time X3 came around, everyone was hoping for a homerun so they went out in droves on opening weekend, (where the film made most of its money) only to be hugely disappointed. And for the record, I never paid to watch X3, I just sneeked in to see how bad it was after paying for another movie. As to Superman Returns, it was okay, but boring. It was overly ambitious with no real payoff. And the plot was just too much of a re-tread from the Donner films. And Kate Bosworth was totally wrong for Lois Lane. And the Super-kid plotline was just stupid. So, to sum up, a complete re-boot for the next Superman, and a re-do for X3.

    What a joke.........

    by rollofpennies

    This has been the worst news ever since FOX announced the first X-men movie. A crappy studio with a genre that should of been fantastic among the ranks of Star Wars but with FOX not allowing the rule of creativity to their low budget films, Bringing back Singer in desparation to launch more shitty sequels does nothing appealing for me. And the Halle Berry comment is ridiculous. Seeing as she was only one of the major problems in this franchise. Berry had nothing to work with like everyone else. As far as Im concerned, Hugh Jackman was the only X-MAN allowed any screen time while constantly crying and getting his ass kicked. There was no team involvement and Iceman looked malnutritous showing his ability to make an ice rose and blow snow out of his hands instead of actual ice in all three movies. I wont even begin with the bell bottom costumes. Singer does have a good vision for X-men so It would of been nice to see what he could of done with the franchise had he had creative control with the property at a different studio. However these havent been X-men movies, instead they have been generic tv episodes poorly displayed on purpose.
    Anyway, count me out.

    Yes X-3 was bad, but in no way a franchise killer

    by i_snake_plissken

    X-2 was quite good, and personally I would be thrilled to have Singer return – he did a far better job with the X-men franchise than I could have hoped for (especially when you consider how horrible X-3 and Wolverine really was). Jackman’s Wolverine is fine by me and Singer knows how to portray him (sticking the guy to the refrigerator in X-2 being a prime example). The X-men universe is ripe with possibilities – The Hellfire Club, Days or Future Past to name just a couple. Singer is a capable filmmaker who has shown as least a limited respect for the source material, come on back Bryan. Otherwise we risk somebody yelling, “I’m Proteus, bitch!”

    The comics weren't gay then. Actually they were godamned entertaining. Solid art, too. You could make a good movie out of one of the many story arcs told during those years if you respected the source material. But c'mon, who are we fooling? This is Fox. This is Rothman. This is Singer. This is fucking Hollywood. That means it is impossible that we will ever see an ass-kicking X-men movie. It simply cannot be done. Men will land on Pluto before Hollywood can produce a thrilling X-Men flick.

    Get ready for more junk. But hey, you guys will line up for junk EVERY SINGLE TIME, so what possible reason would anyone have to bother making a quality X-Men movie? Why try hard when the audiences lap up crap?

    So maybe they could do it. At least they'd go for broke with the colors, visuals and ideas, unlike Singer. They'd make a immersive world worthy of the X-Men.

    I'd do a cross-melange of different eras and characters - have it in San Francisco (like the current books) with the X-Men as a gritty street team that has been exiled from the school (like the Mutant Massacre/Fall Of The Mutants), fighting the Marauders, the Hellfire Club, etc. Use Angela Bassett as Storm, Jackman, Ryan Gosling as Havok, Charlotte Gainsbourg as British Psylocke, Dazzler, Polaris, and many others. Intro some new kids, a mix of the original New Mutants and some of the recent class like Rockslide and Dust. Save Proteus for a later film.

    reflecto has a point, but i think the wachowskis are a little too one dimensional if you really wanted to do a movie that really reflected the true esscense of the comic books, which i know nobody has actually said is the appraoch, but after 3 (4 if you incude wolverine) movies that just werent worthy of the name you'd want to really try to tell a real xmen story rather bits and pieces of huge epic stories and great characters just frown away, now the comic book genre is firmly established as huge money maker whats to stop marvel putting together a huge budget with a great cast (yes recast wolverine) and an inteligent script.to tell one of the great epic xmen stories, maybe im naive, but how dose that not make a shit load of money?

    Also the series could be easily fixed with the Days of Future Past story line. Thus giving Ellen Page more to do. This would also bring in the sentinels and master mold, all that cool stuff. Set it back before X2. It will almost make sense with the plot with Xavier dead and the X-men kind of defunct and a cure available. Anti-mutant sentiments would be at an all time high, thus sentinels and the cure ends up being gas chambers. Also if you put it then you can redo the phoenix saga the right way. isn't retconing fun.

    MacReady452 and nerd bitching

    by boe

    See, this dude, MacReady452, has some ideas of what he would like to see realized, some characters in mind, etc. One of the more fatiguing features of the talkbacks is the bitching/name calling/whining. No one cares what you think about Ratner's blockbuster (which you all managed to see somehow if the numbers are any indication - and, as he has pointed out, many of you repeatedly) from several years ago. I don't care, hollywood doesn't care and, frankly, you don't even care about your gripes with that movie. You're just shooting your mouth off because that is what you are doing right now. In a minute, you'll go get a microwave burrito from the seven eleven and, after that, you will have a long, strenuous bowel movement. Save that for your Facebook friends - I don't want to hear it.
    I would love a forum where everyone with an idea just throws out a plot line or some characters they would like to see or a few seminal issues of the comics or even what you don't want to see revisited, as long as it is constructive. Shame how all this invariably degenerates juvenile bullshit.

    But I've read a few comics and never got the impression that Rogue was supposed to be middle aged. I'm probably wrong, of course, but I tended to see her as a young woman. Somewhere around 25-30, that sort of thing. Don't see why she has to be either middle aged or someone not even old enough to buy a beer. There is a middle ground. As far as her looking ridiculous throwing dump trucks around, keep in mind that we're talking about the X-Men here. If I can buy into the concept of Wolverine, then a woman throwing around dump trucks isn't that much of a stretch. Hell, people accept Superman, don't they? There were quite a few Superman movies, at least one of which is pretty fondly-remembered by most people I know. If Superman can translate well on film, then I see absolutely no reason why a Woman Throwing Dumpster Trucks Like She's Superman shouldn't also be able to translate well to film.

I like the x-men - I have very fond memories of the fate of the phoenix saga from childhood. I all involved credit for even attempting to throw that up on the screen and I too am a little burned that it missed my most modest expectations. Whatever. They will be making another x-men movie and I, for one, would really like this to be the "batman begins" moment for the franchise - right? Wouldn't we all like that? A pulpy little rework with some of the younger and more brutal lesser knowns? You don't want to see that? Really? Fine - as Patton Oswalt says, miss everything cool in life and die angry.

    The first x-movie ain't bad...

    by poopoohumor

    It seems people have some shitty memories. X-men was one of te first superhero movies of the modern take on the genre, and helped usher in all the rest that followed. For those bitching about X1, when's the last time you saw it? Do you remember the opening with kid magneto? Awesome. Remember wolverine's intro? In the cage fight? And when he hit the guy to could hear the sound of metal hitting bone? Awesome. Remember Ian as magneto? Remember picard as Xavier? Awesome. Yes there were some things that could have been better, but Jesus, back in those days Singer was on his own- there was no one he could look to for inspiration.
    And as for X2, again, when's the last time you saw it? The opening with nightcrawler? Awesome. And of course the wolveine berserker rage, Brian Cox, magneto's escape from prison, and the beginning of the pheonix saga? Really great. And for all those who want an original x-cast-grow up. Wolverine is by farthe most popular mutant, has been ever since he joined x-men. If they hadn't put him in the Internet would be choked by all the fanboy rage. The people who complain about those movies seem pretty silly to me.

    Still like a 2 parter based on Apocalypse storyline

    by miyamoto_musashi

    The first focused on Sinister (and his Marauders which includes Gambit), with the rise of Apocalypse at the end, the second focusing more on Apocalypse.
    The X-Men should be no more than 7/8, none of the established,school stuff, more adventurous, "family", on the run.
    The team should be Storm, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Colossus, Shadowcat, Rogue and Angel. Beast will be more supporting.
    Angel obviously to be captured in the first and some point and transformed into Archangel for the second part (5th movie). Gambit of course to leave the Marauders and join the team.
    The second part and last of the franchise to see the return of Professor X and Jean. Per some of the earlier comments, the Jean from X-Men 3 would have found to be a clone. Scott per earlier comments to be revived by Sinister and be a focal point of a rescue for the 1st part.

    I am part of the Singer screwed up camp

    by continentalop

    His first movie was a mess - a hodge-podge of a bad comic book plot (why the hell would a supremacist like Magneto make a bomb that makes everyone a mutant? That would be like a Klansman making a bomb that turns everyone white - they wouldn't. They would make a bomb that kills black people, just like Magneto would make a bomb that intentionally kills only non-mutants) and a story line that focused way to much on Wolverine. And the sequel was overrated IMO, and the climax with Jean Grey sacrificing herself seemed forced as hell.
    Plus, for all the people who go nuts for Wolverine, let me ask you, in the comics (at least prior to 1997) was Wolverine ever shown as a sex symbol? Was he someone that you could imagine Jean Grey was attracted to, like how they hint at it in the X-Men movies? Nope. Wolverine was the victim of a completely unrequited love, and was much more of a Charles Bronson/Lee Marvin type than the sexy rebel type that Hugh Jackman played him as.

    I’m not joking. Singer’s mise-en-action is lacking. I really can’t judge how well Ratner used the whole Dark Phoenix storyline but it worked on screen. Singer on the other hand should stay away from action movies but try something like the Usual Suspects again.

    Which is one of the all-time worst comic-book movies. Fact. Seriously.

    The whole outer space/Shi'ar stuff just won't work that well with the X-franchise on film, IMO.

    he needs something to boost his name again in the Holywood market.Since xmen is his only successful franchise,its no surprise that he wants to return there.
    Talk about big mistakes of life,when he did the stupid thing to direct superman instead of xmen3.oh well..

    X2 is the best ensemble superhero movie ever.

    by creasybear

    I can't imagine anything topping it, either. X3 did have some fun action moments, I have to admit, but you couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for enjoying it, since it didn't have the heart for the characters that X2 had.

    I don't know...

    by halloween68

    After the crap that was WOLVERINE and after Ratner's swing at the nuts of the franchise, I'm thinking it might be time to shelve it for the time being. Do we want to resurect something with these other failures so fresh in our minds? Look at how long it was between the God awful Batman films of Schumaker and Nolan's Batman. I think we needed that lapse of time to distance ourselves from the Schumaker memories. Could be the same here. I'd rather see Singer try again with Superman. I don't think SUPERMAN RETURNS was terrible. It definitely had promise. I think the biggest problem with that film was that the casting was too young. As well as the inconsistency with the affects of kryptonite on Supes. I might be the only one, but that bothered me a whole lot when Superman's greatest feat of strength was in lifting a giant chunk of kryptonite. Not buying it. Sidenote aside, I think a Superman reboot has more potential than a X-Men reboot. At least right now with "I'm the Juggernaut, b*tch" still lingering along side a Black Eye Pea mutant. Eeeee.

    at least she knows what its like to get beaten up by a crazed egomaniac. And Dazzler should be played by Taylor Swift, who knows what its like to be bitch-slapped in public by a raging narcissist.

    by veebeeyes

    you stupid little shit. Maybe if you watched fewer movies, your reading comprehension would be better. I was protesting BoE's dismissal of every single criticism of the movie that didn't give helpful suggestions. That IS a fucking lame excuse for a movie, and it is EXACTLY the same as the tired old "don't complain if you haven't done any better" excuse. And frankly, fuck anyone who buys into that line of thought, because that's EXACTLY the attitude that allows people to put up with shit.

    A good impression on a website where misogyny runs rampant, where "yo mama" passes as a rebuttal, and where people brag about sneaking into movies without paying. Yeah, I reeeeeally care about trying to make a good impression with that kind of crowd. Is that why you come here? To make a good impression with people?

    ...If it had been as boring as X-MEN 1 and 2, he'd have died of boredom right there in the eiditing suite. What kind of fucking sub-genius makes an X-MEN movie WITHOUT a large-scale battle at the end featuring thousands of mutants going at each other??

    Brett Ratner may not even know how to spell the word "continuity", let alone read and understand it, but at least he had fucking ACTION in his X-MEN movie. Which is why I preferred it to Singer's fucking snoozefests. Yaaaaawnnnn...
