Donner Hoping for X-Men: First Class Franchise!

x-men 90210 anyone and
nick cage for prof X

Its not gonna be like the OC you dumb[frick]s. Writers dont alwasy write the same thing over and over again. Dont you idiots know what happens when they stick more than 80% to the source material? Watchmen and Punisher War Zone did that and they failed as movies.

k let's get the naysay ball rolling early on this one.

At this point I am convinced that whoever is making decisions about this stuff at Fox are pathalogically incappable of making good X Men movies.

They have two gutter balls in a row now and this Schuler Donner idiot was deeply involved in BOTH. And I hear that she had a hand in ruining that attrocious Punisher flick a while back too. Nice.

I don't believe for one minute that Fox can pull this off.

Osiris,
Right on Bobby & Warren.

I say to either reboot it or don't do it cause who are they even left with now at this point? Due to the storyline created in the original 3 films they couldn't use Angel, Iceman, Colosus, Nightcrawler or Kitty Pride (among others) and let's face it-- we ALL wanna see those characters. FINALLY we could see the story of Colosus.

I am aware that Colosus & Nightcrawler weren't in the original class but since they can't do the story right anyway due to the other movies they'll end up doing some stupid BS that isn't "true" either, like putting Gambit in there too.

The thing that sucks here is that this could really be an AWESOME movie... but they'll probably end up F'ing it up too. I would love to see Angel in a leading/main role. One of my personal favorites.

(Also, Cyclops could "die" in this one, too, since they just decided to make him disappear in "X3" and we didn't even see it happen so we can't even be sure that he is in fact dead. So lame.)

TheProgram,
Before you go calling other people stupid you should think twice. Isn't this movie supposed to be called "First Class"? No one is debating that there are tons of other mutants that could be used, but those mutants you named were not in the original group (or "First Class").

Go look up who the original X-Men were and don't reply until you know for sure.

THEPROGRAM @ Get with THE PROGRAM!!! Lmao!! : D

@ lee777..Nah, this is a lot different than Batman. First off, its far too soon for a full reboot, 2nd the previous X movies are nowhere near as reviled as the Schumaker Batmans. Nobody cared about that reboot because so much time had passed , and they never had any fans in the first place! I loved X2, like X1 and even thought X3 was ok. I wouldnt like to see a full reboot just so they can show the early teeny bopper adventures of DoucheClops and his friends.

I'm not saying that I didn't like the original movies. They pissed me off a ton because of how inaccurate to the comics they were, but they weren't bad movies. The problem is that you can't accurately have a story/movie about the 1st class while also keeping with the same storyline used in the first 3 films. So that's why I say to either reboot it or don't do it. They COULD do a prequel and just not call it "First Class." That would free them up to (as usual) be inaccurate to the comics but not totally F up the story.

And as far as it being too soon to reboot it, both "The Punisher" AND "The Hulk" have already been rebooted so saying that it is too soon isn't exactly true.

I should specify that I'm not all about rebooting every movie, I'm just saying that this can't be done correctly without a reboot. HERE'S AN IDEA: HOW ABOUT DOING THE F'ING STORIES RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

dellamorte1872, I get what your saying..but whatever the studios or the director say, Incredible Hulk was more of a sequel than a reboot. They didnt change any of the events of Ang Lees Hulk, they just rushed together an intro which somewhat contradicts a small part of it..hell they even began the movie in South America where the last one ended! A new cast, director and look for Hulky..but not a reboot

I know how we all love to hate on the movie studios and anyone associated with screwing up our favourite villains, but rebooting every franchise is not the answer to the problem. All that's going to accomplish in the end is allowing writers and director's to submit crap, that will get made because we allow second, third, and fourth chances get it right. Not to mention the amount of work and dollars associated with such a task. I know we don't like to talk about money but unfortunately it is at the centre of everything.

When it comes to accuracy in the story telling, some of these characters have been around for more than half a century and even in the last 20 years there's a ton of conflicting storylines and details with characters and their origins. Choices have to made, as to what should be adhered to and what should be dropped.

X1 and 2 I thought were great X3 not horrible, but a very bad choice to wrap up a trilogy. Nowhere near strong enough an ending. It could work as a stepping stone should they choose to continue on.

My God, the costumes for these characters have evolved over the past 40 years, so why aren't the movies allowed to take some artistic licence with them as well. I can't believe some of the posts here that actually state that the entire movie is ruined because every single button or clasp is not exactly where it's supposed to be.

Rorshach,
That isn't completely correct about "Punisher: Warzone." They show a flashback which didn't actually happen in the Thomas Jane movie to the scene where Frank Castle is in the park with his dead family, which is how it "really" happened in the comics.

Killawee,
I'm not disagreeing with you that it's all about the money. Here's the problem with your argument: IF it is all about the money, which we agree that it is, then don't you think that making the best movie possible would lead to the studios making even more money?

Obviously the original trilogy was a success and spawned sequels and upcoming spinoffs. But the fact of the matter is that the better the movies are, the more money they would make. And we're not talking an extra $25. We're potentially talking millions. The proof I have is "Star Wars." Do I expect these movies to be as successful? Of course not, but the point is that if the Star Wars stories were not done as well as they were then they lose a good chunk of their fans, which is a good chunk of money in box office revenues, DVD sales, action figure sales, marketing deals, etc.

Take that the opposite direction with the X-Men series. Good? Yes. Could it have been WAY better? Yes. Would that have made WAY MORE money? Yes. Yes, the series was a success financially. But that doesn't mean that there wasn't the room for improvement to make the films WAY better and therefore bring in WAY more money.

Now, in MY opinion, sticking closer to the comics would have made for better movies and made it easier to make the spin-offs and prequels due to fact that they would already have had a blueprint to follow. Now they're gonna be bouncing all over the place, creating storylines that don't follow the comics and are inaccurate to how they were done so the point is that it makes all sorts of inconsistencies that all would have been avoided by just doing things more closely to the comics all along.

X-Men meets the OC? YES WOO HOO! (whisper,whisper) Wait,what the fo? Your kidding (whisper) Awe crap. It's not OC the porno. Crap. I was looking forward to a little Jean Grey/Storm action. Crap! I'm mad now!

@MetalHead, did TDK or Iron Man completly follow the comics? As long as the story is good then who cares that they change things around.

@dellamorte1872, your an idiot, if you dont know the facts then dont open your dumbass mouth. It wasnt a reboot, Marvel said it themselves. Like RORSACH01 said, they even started the movie in Brazil, exactly where the first one ended, if thats not enough proof then you need to wipe that cum off your eyes.

That actually makes sense Shaman

@ metalhead..Oh yeah, i forgot about that scene! Okay well apart from a blink and youl miss it flashback it wasnt a reboot of Punishers origins. And Star Wars..done well?? I assume your not talking about those abysmal prequels here? I do agree that the X Men movies may have been better sticking closer to the comics..but then again they may not have! Theres no way of knowing. Plenty of people love those movies that have never picked up a comic so it would make no difference to them either way. They didnt really deviate that much anyway, they got the essence of the stories and the characters (most of them) and thats all that really matters. Id rather a great movie that deviated from the comics a bit than a faithful load of shit like Warzone any day!

Delamorte1872, so begining the movie right were the last one left off was a coincidence was it? Cmon man, like you said they changed a few things to tie in with the upcoming Marvel movies but a reboot would have began with a normal Bruce Banner becoming Hulk..they chose to have they're cake and eat it and make a slightly altered events sequel.

I liked X3, it wasn't as good as 1 & 2 but i enjoyed it!!! OWWW Della @ my ears hurt lol!!! : D OWWWWW PROGRAM @ Are you two related? Lmao!!!
