AICN EXCLUSIVE!! Major News On X-MEN 3! It's Gonna Be A Bumpy Ride At Fox
This Week!!
Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Did you hear that sound just now? I think that was the other shoe finally
dropping...
In talking to people in and around the X-MEN camp over the last month or so,
it became obvious that Matthew Vaughn was really excited about making an
X-MEN movie, but that he was also feeling a lot of pressure regarding this
particular X-MEN movie's production schedule. As with any film of this size,
there were a lot of people exerting control over the film, and Matthew dug
in for a series of important fights. He managed to convince the studio to
cast Kelsey Grammer as The Beast, something that he was very proud of, and
together with Zak Penn and Simon Kinsberg, he worked on the script that has
evidently had the actors all excited about what they're going to get to do.
It looked like Matthew had finally reached a point where he was confident
that the film could be made the right way in the time they had to make it,
and he sounded ready to go. Now, nine weeks out, we've got word that Vaughn
is off the film and on his way back to England. As soon as I heard this, I
called Marvel Studios to get their reaction, and I ended up talking with Avi
Arad, who confirmed that Vaughn has indeed left the film.
"This is not a case of creative differences," Avi said. "This is a personal
decision by Matthew, and I can tell you that he is heartbroken. He loved
this material, and he wanted to make this film." Vaughn has evidently
already left to deal with whatever personal issue requires his attention,
and Marvel and Fox are expected to make an announcement in the next few days
regarding both the casting of Angel (who plays "a major role" in the film,
according to Avi) and the new director, who may actually be someone who had
circled the film earlier but who wasn't available at that point.
Hey... didn't Joss Whedon just finish SERENITY?
Excuse me. Just thinking out loud. Whoever steps in, they're going to have
to hit the ground running. Avi says that they're still committed to starting
work on the film in nine weeks in Vancouver, and they're still planning to
have the film in release on Memorial Day 2006. "We think this is better than
either part 1 or 2," Avi said. "This is the most controversial, classic
X-MEN story we may ever tell, and I can't wait until people hear the big
idea that holds this all together." At the rate these guys are moving, we're
not going to have to wait long at all. More as the story develops...
"Moriarty" out.

"Is this a case of your equipment malfunctioning? Have you been suffering
from some premature pyro? Hey Silent Bob, you can say anything anytime.
Hello? Maybe I'll just bring Lita down right now. I have a better idea. Why
don't I buy you a box of Kleenex, a carton of Hagan Daz. I'll take you to
Blockbuster Video then you can rent the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya
Sisterhood. Go home and have a really good cry. What do you think about
that, Junior? "
