I've never been this high up on a talkback before. Awesome.
Ian McShane as Sebastian Shaw... by Junior Frenger	Apr 21st, 2005 10:26:08 PM
...Josh Holloway as Gambit...and lets see.... Jeri Ryan as the White Queen. These are only my opinions so a pre-emptive F#CK YOU goes out to the haters.
...and another pipe dream by Junior Frenger	Apr 21st, 2005 10:27:56 PM
Benjamin Bratt as Forge. C'mon Halle needs some action!!!
She-Hulk by Concerned	Apr 21st, 2005 10:29:00 PM
I bet you drooling wanks cant wait to see him fuck She Hulk on the screen Immature fucktards.
"Big Chris" ? by THXER	Apr 21st, 2005 10:37:14 PM
What does he mean by: "...cause if there's one man Wolverine can't handle, it's Big Chris." Does he mean Cain?
This doesn't tell us anything. by FrankDrebin	Apr 21st, 2005 10:40:14 PM
Maybe he's just doing a cameo (like Hank McCoy did). Or maybe he's just in a pre-title sequence. Or a tv news clip about dangerous mutants. Is he actually gonna be related to Xavier? Or is he just gonna be a henchman for Magneto (like Sabretooth)?
I remember that game by Ribbons	Apr 21st, 2005 10:43:19 PM
Are you sure it was Super Nintendo though? I'm thinking it was Sega Genesis. In any case, I know what you're talking about.
Simon Kinberg by Ribbons	Apr 21st, 2005 10:44:45 PM
Also, since it's now in the stars that Simon Kinberg will be writing 'X-Men 3,' maybe somebody should get a hold of him and tell him to take it easy with the puns this time around. Especially ones that make no sense.
Dear God, don't let them screw up Stardust. by Fuzzyjefe	Apr 21st, 2005 10:49:57 PM
That's all I ask.
It's Official... by Shard Harventh	Apr 21st, 2005 10:53:46 PM
...hearing of Stardust being made into a movie is the first good news I've gotten that was even remotely related to X3...Neil Gaiman...now how about The Sandman?...
Mimi is the JUGGernaut! by MimiRogers3rdNip	Apr 21st, 2005 10:56:25 PM
He cant be as huge as in the comics. In a semi-realistic movie world I just cant see it working. At 10' tall and 600 or so lbs there's just no way for him to not be noticed by every single person who sees him. The Hulk can change into Banner, but Juggernaut...wherever he was, everyone would know about it.
What Matthew Vaughn told CHUD by fabfunk	Apr 21st, 2005 11:00:30 PM
Here's a cut and paste job... In another interesting development, he compares X3 to Unforgiven. No word on whether Gene Hackman gets it in the face in this one. As for the overall tone, apparently Vaughn felt that Bryan Singer treated the X-Men more simplistically and that he will expand on the themes. That I can agree on. I like Bryan, but it wasn't his individual vibe that made the films great. Devin also says that Vaughn promises 3-4 scenes where people are shocked and close to tears. ................. I dunno about you, but that sounds incredibly intriguing
What a difference a few days make by Terry_1978	Apr 21st, 2005 11:09:19 PM
Just a while ago people were saying how there is no way in hell Juggernaut would ever be brought to the screen, and yet here we are.
Who isn't going to be in this movie? by Eshu	Apr 21st, 2005 11:50:02 PM
I think all the characters they gotten for this one is over kill. I mean, half the cast was ignored in the first two movies... and the answer to this is bring in more characters?
Please somebody (preferably Spielberg or Bay) turn The Ultimate by Noriko Takaya	Apr 21st, 2005 11:50:37 PM
That is all.
Yes! Holloway as Gambit! by AnnoyYou	Apr 21st, 2005 11:56:01 PM
What a great fucking idea. He'd be perfect -- he's just pretty enough, too. Eeek. I hope to God someone who can do something about this sees this talkback.
Say what you will, but just remember: X3 is being written by the by JackBurton	Apr 22nd, 2005 12:04:29 AM
I don't know about the rest of you, but that hardly fills me with hope and anticipation...
Noriko by Ribbons	Apr 22nd, 2005 12:05:43 AM
Wish granted. Sort of. Marvel's making two feature-length, direct-to-video, animated movies based on "The Ultimates" comic book. It's pretty unadaptable as far as live-action goes for a lot of reasons that I don't feel like getting into, but if you're a fan of any of the Paul Dini/Bruce Timm "Batman" stuff, these flicks might be right up your alley. Supposedly they're trying to push the envelope in terms of what American animation is able to get away with in terms of tone, so we'll see.
CTM by aikimoe	Apr 22nd, 2005 12:21:40 AM
Angry, angry young man.
Here's a better article by PoliMan4	Apr 22nd, 2005 12:27:54 AM
http://www.superherohype.com/n ews/featuresnews.php?id=2889 It reassures me to actually hear from the guy. He seems competent and genuinely wants to make a good movie. I like the fact that he admitted he simply was interested in making the film after he heard singer had passed, rather than making up some bull about how it's been his dream all his life and he couldn't imagine himself doing anything else. All lot of people will be pissed off about his comments in regards to adapting the book, like the one about Dark Phoenix being a mess. I dunno, I think it's good to have a critical person running the show. Not someone who'll treat the books like some sort of infalliable comic bible.
vigo for gambit. by dr.bulber	Apr 22nd, 2005 12:44:20 AM
if i remember correctly, the original juggernaut was small and low to the ground. he use to crash into things like a bowling ball.

...in line to see this, if Cyclops is given more to do, a la his 3/4 second scene where he kicks ass in X2, before Deathstrike wraps herself around him.
how many villains? by fattyaaron	Apr 22nd, 2005 02:29:08 AM
hopefully they will have just a few villains, with just one or two "main" ones. as a fan of a comic, i hope they treat dark phoenix with the respect it deserves after not only setting it up so well in the last movie, but with it's importance in the comics. just look at any of the Xmen books today... they're still dealing with dark phoenix.
You know what juggernaut does? by cherrycola	Apr 22nd, 2005 02:35:17 AM
He's known for breaking stuff. That's pretty much it.
CTM, what are you so upset about? by shonin	Apr 22nd, 2005 02:45:06 AM
Man you sound jealous as hell of Guy Ritchie, did you hold out some hope that Madonna would marry you some day? Seriously though if you can be so sure that X-Men 3 will suck even though you know nothing of the plot, script, etc, then you shouldn't be watching movies. You clearly hate cinema!! I think Vinnie Jones could be excellent, but of course I can't say for sure because THE FUCKING MOVIE HASN'T BEEN MADE YET YOU DUMB C*NT!!!!
i just hope he retains his main powers by banthafodderUK	Apr 22nd, 2005 02:58:18 AM

Vinnie Jones in X-Men? What's the matter with you people? by Kyle.Reese	Apr 22nd, 2005 04:33:11 AM
If you're from the UK and have half a brain you'd know that its because of people like Vinnie fracking Jones that the British film industry is such a joke... I mean imagine Ice Cube in XXX2 mode, would you want him in X3?
Damien Lewis as Gambit? by badgerturd	Apr 22nd, 2005 04:39:03 AM
What about Damien Lewis who played Lt Winters in Band of Brothers, he seems able to nail any accent, is a real ginge and would make a kick ass Gambit???? Just an idea tho I'll probably get cursed for it....
Leave poor goldenshower girl alone. by Tor's Johnson	Apr 22nd, 2005 04:49:19 AM

No Vinnie No. by Groggy	Apr 22nd, 2005 05:00:38 AM
Talentless "Sportsman", Talentless Actor. It defies logic how this plank has ever achieved anything. Just because he held Gazza's balls once, he is suddenly a star? Crappy mid 90's, UK lad mags made this guy a hero based upon that single action/image. I hope Vaughan goes the whole hog and also re-casts Stanley Victor Collymore as Prof. X or some other, equally retarded shit. X3 is stacking the odds up against itself now. Bah.
Ian McShane would be fucking awesome as Shaw by ChorleyFM	Apr 22nd, 2005 05:16:14 AM
While for Gambit you get Olver Martinez or Josh Holloway, Damien Lewis isn't good looking enough. For Angel (who is a guy) they should go with someone effete who is man-pretty, I say Michael Pitt.
As the Hellfire Club... by Black Satin 2	Apr 22nd, 2005 05:42:30 AM
William Hurt as Donald Pierce, Angela Bassett as Tessa, Paul Giamatti as Henry Leland (in a fat suit) and as the Black King, none other than Ian Mc Shane. Oh yeah and Famke Jansen as the Black Queen.

You remember Juggernaut in the comics right? How on earth are they going to depict that onscreen? I mean, what was with that helmet?
Iif Gambit has big role I will not see it. by stlfilmwire	Apr 22nd, 2005 09:00:17 AM
That's that.
Juggernaut sucks! by Eshu	Apr 22nd, 2005 09:09:07 AM
Yeah, I think the Juggernaut is the most retarded looking character in the X-Universe
If they do Juggy like Andy Serkis' Gollum..... by Crytenboy	Apr 22nd, 2005 09:52:35 AM
..............then this could be rather cool. I google-imaged Vinnie Jones,just to get a rough idea once again of what he looks like, and if one was to take a look at him and imagine his features transfored ala Eric Bana in the Hulk movie, and his performance is done via CGI motion performance, then the guy could make a great Juggernaut. Obviously, ( or I hope not anyway), they will not use his official comics origin. If Marvel films is smart, they could use Juggy as a tie-in to the rest of the Marvel Universe movies by having his powers originate from a scientifically-induced physical enhancement ala Hulk; ie; a modification and refinement of David Banner's esperiment. .........don't forget, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the X Men movies are set in the near future. Imagine, if you will, that the events in the Hulk movie took place, say, ten years before the events of the X Men movies.... The U.S army has had ten years to study and re-create somewhat the "Hulk"process, but have refined it to the point that the subject retains his intellect and normal mental faculties....But have never had the need to put the process into serious action, untill, of course, the MUTANT THREAT ..Now to make it a bit more interesting, bring in the fact that as a child, Cain (to Prof Z's Abel.....hmm, an interesting concept right there), was an abused step-child, and his anger and resentment magnify and multiply at the same rate as his physical enhancement (of coure it's an unforseen side effect of the program:as everyone knows, in movie logic, whenever the army thinks it has created a super weapon or a super being, it of course always backfires) to a point where he becomes a hate-filled human with Hulk-like strength and regeneration abilities, that now has the power to take on mutants, (like his step-bro Charles), as well as the rest of "mankind", whom he feels has wronged him by paying sooooo much attention to his "freakshow" of a half=brother, Chuck.... Now he has the power to back up his "what the F@@ck are you gonna do?" attitude, of course, much to the dismay of the US army, who of course, in movie fashion, have no choice but to call in the X Men to stop him..........who better than "Phoenix" Jean Grey?.she stops him dead in his tracks, and easily calms hom down, and saves the day............all the while the psycic "link" she uses to stop him, links their minds, and the rage and resentment that she removes from him get transferred into her..........creating the basis for the TRUE Dark Phoenix...... I'm just shooting the shit here, but I think that this idea is pretty plausible...
How did Vaughn get this gig?? by bigjeffrey	Apr 22nd, 2005 10:27:40 AM
What the hell did he do to get his hands on Fox's biggest franchise? His blowjobs must be breathtaking!
For the record, I was the FRIST person to suggest Ian MacShane a by mortsleam	Apr 22nd, 2005 10:30:53 AM
Credit where credit's due. I think I also suggested Portia DiRossi as Emma Frost. C'mon, tell me she doesn't look EXACTLY like the cover of New X-Men 117. I like Vinne Jones as Jugegrnaut, because really ,how different is Juggernaut's character from Bullet-Tooth Tony? He's a large, angry, monotone bruiser. And for those of you whining about Juggernaut's size: It's only been since the mid-to-late 90's that Juggs has become a gigantic behemoth, mostly thanks to Rob Liefeld's complete inability to draw anything to realistic scale. Orginally he was just a very tall guy, about, you guessed it, 7' at max. Look at the classic issue when Colossus and Wolverine are in a bar and Juggs is being hit on by the Black Queen. He's a huge guy, but not a 12' tall freak.
Gotta second mortsleam's... by Childe Roland	Apr 22nd, 2005 11:23:05 AM
...thoughts on Juggy. Vinnie is perfect for the part in that Jugs isn't going to require a lot of acting for him. Just be a thug who thinks he's charming and, failing that, believes he can kick every ass in the room. And mort's right about the size thing, too. I always got the impression from the comics (pre 1995) that Jugs was slightly taller than Colossus (in armored mode) which would put him somewhere just north of seven feet. As for the magical powers, I'm sure they'll ditch that aspect and just make him a mutant with a fancy helmet like Magneto had in the first film. This bit of casting news doesn't have me nearly as worried as the sheer number of characters they appear to be trying to cram into the movie. Not sure how they'll handle that without making everyone very two-dimensional. But we'll see. Oh... and the Juggernaut ran into Ray Park the other day. Do you know what happened to the guy who played Toad when he was hit by an irresistable force? The same thing that happened to Fuck You.
GoldenShowerGirl by smylexx	Apr 22nd, 2005 11:25:30 AM
Does anyone know if she's single and err... available? I'm erm..asking for a friend, obviously. ahem.
Ribbons -- thanks for the Ultimates info by Immortal_Fish	Apr 22nd, 2005 12:25:36 PM
First I've heard of it and already anticipating eagerly. Doubt the tone will be much beyond 'edgy' and nowhere near as hard as the source material given what happened to Return of the Joker.
Portia DeRossi?!?!? What the F@#K!!! by Junior Frenger	Apr 22nd, 2005 01:06:58 PM
She's built like a 10 year old boy. Hmmm... maybe she could play that little bald morlock, what was that little turds name?
Junior, I believe you're thinking of Leech by mortsleam	Apr 22nd, 2005 01:17:39 PM
But if you need proof that she isn't in fact built like a 10 year old boy, check out Sirens, a movie which also features Elle MacPherson walking around naked half the time. True, this was ten years ago, and Portia has since fallen under the spell of David E. "I like my leading ladies anorexic" Kelly, but there's no arguing that she looks just like Emma Frost, and that she tends to play the same kind of character as well. Personally, I hope that this movie won't even feature the Hellfire Club, and will merely show the X-Men dealing with Juggernaut and the Sentinels, while Cyclops spends some time in Alaska and runs into a woman who looks just like Jean. Then do the Dark Phoenix thing with the Hellfire Club in the fourth movie.
Oh dear.... by hellboydan	Apr 22nd, 2005 01:35:09 PM

why didn't vinnie play Kingpin by josh_strapp	Apr 22nd, 2005 01:51:12 PM
he would have been great, i mean michael clark did a great fucking job but i would have love to see that vinne fellow do this
Kingpin??? by hellboydan	Apr 22nd, 2005 02:04:33 PM
That film was just about bearable as it was, the only saving grace being Bullseye. But Vinnie Jones as Kingpin? god no, he dosen't have the right build (much like Juggernaut) unless CGI's involved plus the whole 'Saff East of England thing' "OI Wotch yoo fakking fink yor doin rand ere? Daredevil EH? I'll give yoo fakking Daredevil" nuff said.
Why Vinnie didn't play Kingpin by googamooga	Apr 22nd, 2005 03:52:26 PM
Because the producers of Daredevil made the concious decision to use a black actor, to up the "cool" factor. MCD is badass, and I've liked him in everything he's done, but it PISSES me off when they make drastic changes to a character. I'm still not over Starbuck and Boomer's new vaginas.

Of COURSE he won't look like he does in the comics... by CaptMattSparrow	Apr 22nd, 2005 07:53:15 PM
Because this is not the comic. That character is a cartoon. Vinnie is a bada$$. Anxious to see how they will adapt the character to the screen. "It's been emotional."
Isn't Juggernaut suppossed to be big? by -guyinthebackrow	Apr 22nd, 2005 08:03:53 PM

Fav Juggernaut story by vekt0r	Apr 23rd, 2005 02:44:47 AM
was in an 80's issue of Xmen where Jugger/Colossus get into a fight in a bar while Wolverine just sits back and enjoys the show. Plus Amazing Spider-Man 227/228 (i'm close) Spider-Man vs Juggernaut - great frikkin stuff. Yeah, I used to collect comic books.....
I love the latent racism by Ribbons	Apr 24th, 2005 03:27:32 AM
TalkBack is probably dead, but here's a "fuck you" to all the Michael Clarke Duncan detractors out there. I don't understand how it's some unconscionable act to cast a black guy as Kingpin because he's not a "proper match," but it's perfectly fine, preferable even, to cast a Briton who doesn't even have the right build because he's white and he's "badass," only in a soccer hooligan way and not a scary black person way. "They" didn't get Michael Clarke Duncan to make 'Daredevil' "cooler with the kiddies" you fucking psychos, they did it because they believed (as I do) that overall, he was the best fit for the part. I'm astounded that anyone in their right mind thinks that Vinnie Jones would be a more faithful translation of the Kingpin. If you don't see how twisted that logic is, then you're not the ones who should be outraged.
Yeah but... by smylexx	Apr 24th, 2005 02:56:08 PM
Getting back to the REAL topic. Is GoldenShowerGirl single? Has anyone managed to get her number for me yet? Just wondered.

That Certain Card Thrower by hefferee	May 13th, 2005 11:54:33 PM
Hey, Cinescape is running a rumor on an unknown actor playing Gambit. They're giving a name, but no picture or anything. Well, the name is Scott Madej ... and a picture has surfaced on a couple of the X-Men Discussion boards. [URL=http://img175.echo.cx/my. php?image=smimom4dl.jpg][IMG]h ttp://img175.echo.cx/img175/87 0/smimom4dl.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Don't know what the picture is for though. Looks like promotion for another film, but I know the word is he hasn't done film before. What the ??? Vaughn, boy, what is going on. He's got the Gambit look at least.
