apocalypsosSpotted on IMDb ...
Halle Berry only agreed to star in the second X-Men sequel after studio bosses agreed to give her a bigger role in the forthcoming movie. The Oscar-winner was reluctant to reprise her role as Storm in X-Men 3 - but producer Lauren Shuler convinced her by boosting her character's involvement. Schuler says, "I love working with her. We would only write a huge role for her, so she's right in that respect. We would make sure that would happen." Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Famke Janssen are also expected to reprise their roles in film, set to begin shooting next year.
Ugh. I suppose pointing out to the producers that they could have spent that extra time and money on Gambit or Colossus or Beast and made the audience infinitely happier would just go right over their heads.
EDIT: You know how they have those DVD players that'll just edit out objectionable material for children? They should have DVD players that do that for adult movie lovers. So if I want to push a button and replace Halle Berry with a better Storm or force Kevin Costner to speak with an English accent or entirely negate Sylvester Stallone from existence, I have that option.

Date: 2004-05-12 04:53 am (UTC)I've decided that as long as I get my Iceman, my Wolverine, my Cyclops, and at least one shot of Colossus and Jubilee each, I won't have to take out a hit on the producers. But I reserve the right to take a bathroom break whenever Miss Oscar Winner Extraordinaire starts ACTING.
I still think Anna Paquin and Ian McKellan should take her out back and smack some sense into her. For the honor of the Academy and its winners and nominees, of course. *nods solemnly*
