(I thought there was already an X3 thread. If anyone finds it, link it and I'll merge.)

The suck-potential grows and grows...

Brett Ratner is spicing up the new X-Men 3 movie with the addition of his very own fantasy - a sex siren mutant who seduces her opponents rather than battles them. Ratner takes over from departing director Bryan Singer, who made the first two movies, and the Rush Hour film maker is determined to leave his mark on the comic book series. The new mutant has not yet been cast but unknowns Kate Nauta and Aya Sumika will reportedly audition. A source tells Pagesix.com the mutant will be, "An unbelievably hot and sexy hooker. Her super power is that she secretes a pheromone that helps her to seduce men. She can seduce anyone." The source adds of the auditions, "They are open to all ethnicities who are in their early-to-mid 20s."

Oh jeez: "determined to leave his mark."

That means he's going to pee on it, right?

This news could not disgust me more.

Fucking Hollywood. Leave established properties alone!!!! They were already successful before you got your claws on them.

They have a naked mystique how much more do they need for gods sake, hooker mutant *sigh* so much for comic's getting any ounce of respect.

Two points here. Mystique was made naked because when they tried to morph her wearing her signature costume it looked crappy.

Second point... the mutant hooker idea was actually taken from the comic. Her name was Stacy and she was intoduced in Uncanny XMen #399 in 2001.

Can't blame Hollywood for this one, but the rather pathetic state of comics over the last 4 or 5 years.

Have that issue. Thought it was stupid when I read it. Had to say it, even if it meant "outing" myself.

Ah haven't read inna while, guess they are really reaching for ideas. But still be better if they went with established well liked characters.

It's no wonder Jackman wants to branch off of the franchise... I mean, look at how well Van Helsing did.

Here's a new trailer.

Pretty, but I've seen plenty of pretty trailers on sucky movies.

My hopes are high and expectations low.

This movie was over when they got the dude from "Rush Hour" to direct it. Picture Patrick Stewart saying, "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" There'll be an explosion every ten minutes, overlong action sequences, tired plots, and probably a cameo by Jackie Chan or Chris Tucker if he's feeling like running shit completely into the ground.

More good news from the past :

Bryan Singer was supposed to direct and co-write the film's script, but when he was given the offer to take over the problematic Superman Returns (2006) from Brett Ratner, he left the project, taking with him most of the production staff, including composer and editor John Ottman, cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel, writers Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris, and production designer Guy Dyas.

So, we got a new :

- director
- composer
- editor
- cinematographer
- pair of writers
- production designer

The composer, editor, & production designer I could live w\o. The cinematographer would've been nice to keep. The two writers & director hurt.

This film has big-ass disappointment written all over it. Not Phantom Menace-magnitude disappointment, but it'll be noticeable. Course, the first month alone will probably let them turn a profit cos of the past couple films.

I was talking with someone about how badly people who are unfamiliar with comic book characters and there stories can mess it up. Especially when they try too hard to mainstream the script or add there own shit.
They take that creative license crap way to far.

"Let's take that Proffessor guy out of the wheelchair, it's just holding us back from the action scenes. We'll make him a ninja. A black gay ninja. With bling, gotta get some bling on him. Bling him up. In fact, let's rename him Professor Bling, and call his group the BlingMen.

"Don't change the title of the movie, though, we still want to fans of the comics to come see it. They'll love the changes!"

Holy fuck, it looks like they raided the Power Rangers prop room. & goddamn that dialog was iffy at best. All behold Brett Ratner, the greatest franchise killer since Joel Shoemaker got within fifty feet of a Batman screenplay.
