X-Men:Days of Future Past movie confirmed 1 1

[seanfingh]

I won't be satisfied unless they let Claremont write the dialogue:

 

"Oh, Ororo, you who have soared in the hot African sun, and been worshipped as a goddess, I love you."

 

"And I you, with all my heart."

 

Nothing makes for good popcorn cinema like slavish adherence to children's periodicals.

 

 

Yes, because that's exactly what I want...for them to film this movie verbatim.

 

 

You're perched on a slippery slope, mein freund.

[seanfingh]

If they were to use an able-bodied American actor to play Prof X in a wheelchair would that have the dedicated fans dancing a jig of dislike?

I don't care what actor they get,just as long as they look & act the part of the character

 

Do they have to wear the spandex costumes?

 

What if they looked exactly as their comic book originals but were terrible actors?

I think they should use muted colors for the costumes (like First Class)

 

Then the actors need to do their best to portray the characters faithfully as possible (no matter how terrible they are)

 

But what is your preference? They look the same but aren't the best actors or they look different and are the best actors around?

 

Why does it have to be an either / or scenario?

 

I would assume that getting top quality actors that look exactly like the comic book originals would be pretty difficult.

 

It's thinking like this that gives us Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin

 

That's racist and deadist.

[Logan510]

I am REALLY interested to see where they go with this.

 

I am as well - it's dangerously and precariously close to Spiderman 3 in terms of overloading the story with too many characters. However, I have faith that Fox is going to be demanding Marvel-levels of quality from their films - so the new X film I think may bring back the errant franchise back from the brink.

 

I am cautiously optimistic at this point.

I do my best to refrain from being either optimistic or pessimistic until I actually see it. That way, if it's bad then it doesn't hit you too hard and if it's good then it's a nice surprise. I certainly pay no attention to all the armchair critics who pan a film before they've seen it.

 

Fingers crossed for a good one, loved First Class.

 

No - start complaining now, loudly and frequently, years before the movie comes out.

 

You can trivialize it all you like, but I think at the end of the day we can agree that this movie at best will just have some minor surface elements of the original ( and awesome ) story and not much else to tie it in.

 

Who's trivializing it?

 

Not you, you're a regular Pollyanna

No, I got the sarcasm. But my point is, if we can clearly draw the line at dialogue, where along the slippery slope do we decide what is and isn't sacrosanct.

[Comicopolis]

Sounds hot.

[seanfingh]

Sounds hot.

 

You've reached your nesting breaking point.

How about a story that shares more than just the name? Are you telling me you wouldn't want to see that story on the big screen? That would be awesome. Maybe the only way I'll get what I want is if Marvel starts doing DC style animated films.

[Comicopolis]

Sounds hot.

Case, I love your passion. And I admit when I see something that is slavishly faithful to the original (Planet Hulk, DC New Frontier) I LOVE it. I just hate to see just a good fan froth at the mouth instead of enjoying our hour in the cinematic sun.

Well put. Comic movies won't last forever. At some point - studios will move onto the next viable idea that will generate revenue. Which will probably be some idlotic re-imagining of classic reality show TV made for the big screen, utilizing Academy Award-winning actors to play their looserly small-screen counterparts in the ultimate self-referential meta barftastic movie-going experience.

[TupennyConan]

Will Wolverine be tall or short in this movie? The answer will decide whether the film wins my money & support around the webz.

[Buzzetta]

Looking forward to this.
