[apocalypsos]

devildoll pointed out that AICN has some new X3 tidbits ... according to Moriarty, it's between John Moore, who did Behind Enemy Lines and Flight of the Phoenix (okay, whatever), and Brett Ratner, who did the Rush Hour movies. And God forgive me, but I liked the Rush Hour movies. Not that I'm sure that I'd want him directing the X-Men movies, but still.

In other news, there were script spoilers. And they go a little something like this.

Three major characters that absolutely should not die, die. Really dead, too. Not Spock Dead.

GODDAMN IT. What did I say yesterday? Hmm? *hits something with a two-by-four*

All right, all right. Look, it probably won't be that bad. And it is in character for those guys to drop like flies anyway. And I've always got fanfiction to fall back on. But ... but ... GODDAMN IT. I don't want anyone to die! Except for Storm. *whimper*

They touch Bobby and I reserve the right to throttle someone. GRRR.

And one mutant who should not lose her powers, loses her powers permanently. Really loses them, too. Not SUPERMAN II loses them.

The bitchy part of me hopes it's Storm, although that would just focus waaaaay too much storyline on Halle Berry, and blech. The part of me that loves the character and wants her to be happy is DYING for it to be Rogue. Actually, that part of me is dying to write that story.

And the sex scene... when you see who does what to who... oh, boy.

You mean like a real sex scene?! Really? Woohoo!

Please be slash, oh, pleeeeeeease be slash ...

The entire X-MEN universe may face some incredible overhauls, and it's going to be fascinating to see what fandom does when faced with this stuff.

Oh, XMM fandom will do the same thing it always does ... bitch about what bothers them, swoon over what doesn't, write a shitload of fanfiction, and make fun of Halle Berry's wig.

Min's referred to this before.

The Marsden Problem is that poor Jimmy's signed on to have a role in Singer's new Superman movie. Which is shooting at the same time as X3.

His available is very, very restricted.

Yup. Although now that they've changed the shooting dates of X3, that no longer applies (he'll be done with Superman before X3 starts), but choices about storyline were probably made *before*, and they might still want to get rid of the character even if he's available, for spite. (g) I hadn't thought about Ororo losing her powers aka Neutralizer. I still suspect it's Jean, though, tying into Dark Phoenix, since that would be a shocking, take-no-prisoners way to solve the Dark Phoenix delimma.

::wants to crush Singer's head with my MIND:: It's all well and good stealing behind the scenes people, in fact breaking their contract with Warner Brothers, but also stealing actors (isn't Shawn Ashmore in Superman too?) is just ...::goes and hits wall a couple times::

Err I mean Fox. Not famous yet! Do not need to keep track of studios!
