X-Men 3

[|william|]

Rumor has it that the king, Joss Whedon will be directing it and at least co-writing the film

I hope it happens, he did some good work on the first one and at least in my opinion he is the best person to do the film

[cantrpotatoe]

uh........maybe it will suck as much as the first two

[Spider]

No, you suck.

[cantrpotatoe]

well... I guess every thread does turn into a fight... at least I didnt start this one ....

[Revanael]

That turned into a fight way too quickly...

From what I heard that Joss Whedon will be writing and directing X-Men 3 for 20th Century FOX.

Right now he has to finish Serenity first and if it is successful then he might not be available to do X-Men 3 because he is signed to make three Firefly movies with Universal first. Perhaps Universal might give him the time to do X-Men 3 or he might find time in between one of the Firefly movies to do it.

Well, sports fans, it's official. The movie is shot. Done. And I couldn't be happier to be through with it. No more of that exciting, vibrant set, that warm camaraderie, that creative stimulus, free donuts... Excuse me. I have something in my eye... free donuts...

Oh, there's things I'll miss. But there's definitely things I WON'T miss.
In no particular order:

1) Fillion. People who are prettier than me are not supposed to be funnier than me. I think it's a guild thing. And that whole 'gracious and professional' thing got old on day ONE, you know what I mean?

2) Cinematographer Jack Green. This guy lights stuff ALL THE TIME. Seriously, like eighty-three percent of the shots had light in them. He totally didn't get my "Just Like Radio" concept for the film.

3) The incessant meddling of the studio: where was it? We waited and waited, what, are they all too busy and important to take the time to ruin my little film? This is Hollywood, people. Learn our ways and customs while you're here. Sheesh.

Just a taste of the Hell I've been through. And being surrounded by beautiful women, and, let's face it, beautiful men, all of whom get along, work hard and play their characters with such ease and nuance it's clear they were born for the roles -- who needs that?

But no matter how much I suffer for my art, it's worth it. 'Cause come April 22nd I think we'll be bringing you an exciting film that's a powerful statement about the right to be free. Which is not as cool as my original statement about the right to tasty garlic mussels in a cilantro broth, but the freedom thing's okay too. The editing started this week, and after just a first cut I can safely say this will be the greatest film since whatever film comes out right before it. And I'm not backing down from that.

Thanks for your support. And I mean that more literally than people usually do -- Coming back from the Chicago Con and telling people there was a Serenity booth put up and run entirely by fans... you should have seen their faces. Hell, you should have seen mine. But not too close. And not before, like, 10:00 -- maybe 11:00 a.m. And maybe sort of from the side. The back-ish part of the side. You should have seen my hair.

Be well. Good things are coming.

Cilantro!

Joss Whedon?
Directing X-Men?

Maybe Writing?

Jesu, I think I'm going to swoon...

The current release date is April 22nd, 2005 in the US.

[Razorlance]

Nothing on a UK date though, and if the worst happens and it fails miserably at the box office in the US, we will never see it on the big screen over here in the UK.

Do you even have the term 'direct to video' in the US?

[The Industriallist]

Do you even have the term 'direct to video' in the US?

Yes, mostly for totally unjustified children's movie sequels (Little Mermaid 2, Land Before Time at least 3 to ...um...I'm not sure where they finally stopped...7 or so).

There are probably some non-G and non-animated direct to video movies, but I don't hear about them. Probably for good reason...

If you're talking about Serenity, the Firefly movie, then I wouldn't worry very much. The Official Serenity movie site has been opened for about four months and has over 16,000 active members and grows at a rate of about 2000 to 3000 members a month. I think that is a good sign plus there is always the original Fox Official Firefly board and Fireflyfans.net with a pretty big active group of Browncoats.

Oh by the way, Joss Whedon is not writing X-Men 3. Some no name writer has been named and he doesn't have very film credits. It is looking like things are looking down for X-Men 3 since some of the original cast said that they would not return if Bryan Singer did not write or direct.
