retro_eidasThis was posted at SHH, but only noticed it at Coming Soon this morning.
Obviously, we all know it's very early for anything to be concrete in regards to "X3" so these are all rumors (Moreso the fact Cinescape apparently got this info from Wizard... not too reliable). It's also not like some of the news in this ("X3" focusing on evolution) would be surprising considering how "X2" ended.
But "X3" and "X4" filmed back to back? Two "X-Men" movies within a few months of each other? Dude. I'd go into fangirly overload. I don't put a lot of weight to any of this, not only for the "Wizard" thing, but since I'm not convinced an undertaking this enormous would be something the cast/crew would be all too keen on doing. But damn. That would rock. Fox probably wouldn't be against the idea considering they were also responsible for the "Matrix" trilogy and that made major coin (allbeit subpar in quality compared to X-Men, but I'm biased). However, still ridiculously reluctant to believe any of this, although it was a nice read.
What Will X-Men 3 be About?

Cinescape has some more bits on what is possibly mentioned in the new issue of Wizard magazine about the X-Men franchise...
Among the facts dropped in the mag are: the idea by Singer to shoot X-MEN 3 and X-MEN 4 at the same time; how many primary characters are currently in the X3 treatment (which includes Beast); which actors are likely to reappear in the second sequel; other filmmakers that Singer has been meeting with regarding the latest breakthroughs in filmmaking technology; and spinoff movies using Wolverine and other X-Men characters.
Perhaps the biggest news is the revelation of what the general premise of X-MEN 3 will be about -- or is, at least at this early stage of the game. According to Singer, the idea behind X3 is what would happen if humans and mutants went up against evolution itself.
********
Once again, total rumors until we start meandering closer to 2006.
I'm sure we all have our wishlists. I posted a rather insanely long compilation of pretty much everything I'd be thrilled to see when I was high off cold medicine back in December (which is more evidence of why I don't write fanfic. When I go all [drugged] fangirly on sh*t. I go CRAZY with the wordage).
Fangirly randomness: Dark Phoenix vs. Dark Phoenix (Rogue being half of that duel due to absorbing some of Jean)... How fucking awesome would that be?

We'd also probably get them only a few months apart as opposed to the LONG waits between X1>>X2 and X2>>X3. So, I absolutely love the idea of two movies filmed back to back... but do I think it's very likely? I just don't think it is.
fit in with the LOTR, Matrix pattern?
Definitely. Singer is also an LOTR fan and has nothing but praise for what Peter Jackson has done. Although would he want to try and emulate that? Even if it's with just two movies (as opposed to three) and not exactly have the scale/grandeur of LOTR? I don't know. As I said, I'm reluctant to buy into any rumor. Especially something as big as this.
some more thoughts
Date: 2004-02-27 08:14 am (UTC)Also where would the mooted stand-alone film(s) - of which Wolverine's is the most likely but that's probably dependany on what happens with Van Helsing.
And it would be a LOT for Singer (and company) to sign up to. But not having to wait years and yeas and years would be a lovely thing.
