retro_eidasGreat. Since Storm is like the bestest character in the movies and all.
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.
The IMDB has a reputation of rampant inaccuracy and that includes the "news" section. They very well could have taken the recent LSD quotes (posted at just about every movie news-site) and put their own special spin on them. Yet, I don't find LSD's perpetual Halle-love very comforting. Wouldn't put it past her or the other X-M producers placating her. Big effing star and all. Eh. Forget Movie!Storm isn't quite as (unintentionally) entertaining as watching Halle stuff sushi down her throat and drinking cream "straight up". Movie!Storm? Boring as hell.
At the moment, X3 is looking to be a Storm and Wolverine movie with that Phoenix chick coming in at third "in some respect" (inexplicable as that is considering how X2 ended). Perhaps LSD is a "Swordfish" fan? Maybe I'm shallow because I admit I like the image of Wolverine in a towel, but... even the off-handed idea that an X-Men movie would follow along the lines of something like "Swordfish"? X-Men 3: Swordphoenix, or How I Stopped Worrying And Learned to Love Hugh Jackman (and ONLY Hugh Jackman, cause the rest of this movie? It's total shite) Which seems to be a trend with Hugh's movies (Hell. All of them, barring X-Men).
No news on Ian, Anna or Patrick, but by god, Halle's going to be in it! Rah. [/sarcasm]

Date: 2004-05-12 10:15 pm (UTC)It makes me wonder what a guy has to do to get more screentime. Cause apparently your wife/fiance dying this big glorious watery self-sacrificial death isn't enough to give you any. Are they going to tell us Scott went off to Tibet and become a monk in his grief or something? No doubt unable to handle the adultering manwhore** stealing all his thunder. Wouldn't blame him. I'm not even all that big of a Cyclops fan and I'm annoyed.
Oh, right, he's not played by Oscar-winner Halle Berry. Gag me.
What are you talking about? "Catwoman" looks amazing... in a Larry Flint sort of way. And you know her paycheck for X3 will be in the 7 digits. Bah. I'd rather watch Magneto read the phone book for two hours than Frankenberry trying to defibulate Storm. If you want to find me... I'll be crying in the corner for Nightcrawler, Pyro, Magneto, Rogue, Colossus, Cyclops and Dark Phoenix.
**said with the utmost fangirly fawning of course
