A Cloud over Storm for X-Men 3
Posted on Tue, 8-Mar-2005

It's hardly news that Halle Berry's not exactly hankering to come back for
another "X-Men". She basically feels that her character, Storm, gets shoved
into the background too much - and well, believes her talents deserve much
more than that.

Talking to Yahoo! News today, Berry said she is in talks for "X-Men 3", but
it's still not a done deal.

"Storm has been a little shortchanged," Berry says. "If we go back and do
one more, which we're all in talks of doing, it will be paramount that Storm
rise up and be the true warrior and woman that she is in the comic book,
which was why I got involved in the first place."

Meantime, CHUD has been leaked a casting call for the film - which will
apparently star Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen, Alan Cumming
and Daniel Cudmore - that says the movie will film in Texas.

Let's be honest, is anyone a little skeptical of Berry's comic-reading
background?

After Catwoman? hell yeah!
But after her showing up and having fun (at her own expense) at the
Razzies, I'm happy to give her the benefit of the doubt

She blamed everybody but herself at the Razzies. All that was was a

From what I've heard, she hadn't read a thing before she was cast in the
original "X-Men." However, Marvel then gave the first two volumes of
"Essential X-Men" to Singer, Hayter, and every major cast member. Rumour
has is that she's the only cast member who actually read both from cover to
cover, and even looked to find more comics with her character in them.
(Singer and Hayter looked at the pictures, and made a deliberate choice not
to read the words.) Whether she's read much more than that is very much in
doubt.

Just look at Catwoman and find out...or better yet, don't.

They should recast Sanaa Lathan (from Aliens v. Predator) in the role. She
looks so much like Halle berry, she could be her twin sister. And I would
think that, lacking an Oscar, she would be much cheaper to hire, as well.

I was really struck by how much she looked like Halle in AVP. Although the
movie was nothing special, she did a competent job.

In any event, It looks like Halle is just doing the usual Hollywood pout for
more screen time and a bigger paycheck. The early buzz on the X-men scripts
that are in development now are that they're rewrites of the Phoenix Saga in
the comics, and they all relegate Storm to a backseat character.

The studio is aching to do the Phoenix Saga, because it is such a powerful
story, but a lot will depend on who they get to direct the next movie.
They're supposed to make a directing choice by the end of this month
(March). Everything else is negotiable, based on that. Including they
story.

As for the movie filming in Texas? That's somebody talking out their ass.
Canada or down under is more likely to save costs on production.

20CF is dearly hoping they can squeeze at least one more movie out of the
X-Franchise. All the scripts in development are riffs on The Phoenix Saga,
but the plot details are very malleable at this point; a lot depends on who
they get as a director. They are getting nervous that the actors will move
on to other things or just get too damned old to play the roles if they
wait. Despite losing Singer, they are really driven to make this happen
within the next year or two.

I can't imagine how they would want to shoehorn the exile in Oz stuff into
the next movie, Phoenix or not. The Oz stuff really wasn't very much of a
story in the comics, was it? It was the worst of the torturously confused
multiple-reality X-Men junk that fans hate so much now.

The Phoenix Saga is a compelling, tight story that pitches well, and there
are plenty of 20CF screenwriters who are familiar with the story through the
comics, and they are jazzed to do the screenplay.

My money is on filming in Canada, the Toronto area. It's inexpensive, and
has lots of locations, including the "Alkali Lake" location, that will fill
in for Westchester, NYC and generic Northeast USA locations. Again, there's
no reason why Texas would be the choice for production. It's hot, dry and
flat, and looks like Texas. There's no cost savings, and it's a damn long
way from where any of the actors live, and a damn long way from the 20CF
studios.

Whoever said the next X-movie will film in Texas is talking out of their
ass.

All indications are that they want to do it. The pitch is simple, "absolute
power corrupts" and the people in charge of the screenplays at 20CF are
familiar enough with the source material to recognize that it is a great
story.

They were already moving in that direction before Singer jumped ship for
Superman, and nobody has presented a strong alternative.

Unless CAA demands that X3 becomes "Storm: Warrior Princess!".

The current thought in Hollywood is that comic books can launch moderately
long-lived franchises, but nothing on the scale of James Bond. Three movies
is reasonable (which is why you'll certainly see Spiderman 3 and X3, and
probably Charlie's Angels 3), but four may be stretching it. 20CF is
salivating to do X3, and do it quickly, before the cast ages too much. If
X3 hits just about the same profit levels as X2, X4 is likely, but not with
the same urgency.

Some of this is due to the failure of the Batman films to generate a
sustainable franchise; everyone is waiting to see if Batman Returns will be
the monster blockbuster it needs to be. Time Warner considers Singer's
Superman to be money in the bank, but sequels are not even being considered
yet. Singer has a one-picture deal.

The word on Fantastic Four is that it will see "Daredevil" or Punisher"
levels of success but nothing like X-Men or Spiderman levels. If the next
X-Man movie is a crapper (and it very well may be with a bad director), the
hoped-for franchise is dead. It may also kill any possible Wolverine
spinoff, as well.

Keeping Halle Berry happy should be the least of their worries. Let 'er go
and recast the chick from AVP.

Not even Berry is pushing for that. They would like Storm to be shown
as a warrior princess in the movie. Because if she were able to pull it
off, it might launch a spin off.

Storm doesn't have to be the star to get some good scenes. To be frank,
I'd rather Storm not be in the movie if she were going to be shown as
she was in X-Men 1. (bitch slapped around by Toad) Comic book Storm
would take down Toad with her bare hands.,

A Cloud over Storm for X-Men 3
Posted on Tue, 8-Mar-2005
It's hardly news that Halle Berry's not exactly hankering to come back for
another "X-Men". She basically feels that her character, Storm, gets shoved
into the background too much - and well, believes her talents deserve much
more than that.
Talking to Yahoo! News today, Berry said she is in talks for "X-Men 3", but
it's still not a done deal.
"Storm has been a little shortchanged," Berry says. "If we go back and do
one more, which we're all in talks of doing, it will be paramount that Storm
rise up and be the true warrior and woman that she is in the comic book,
which was why I got involved in the first place."
Meantime, CHUD has been leaked a casting call for the film - which will
apparently star Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen, Alan Cumming
and Daniel Cudmore - that says the movie will film in Texas.
Thanks to 'Gustavo'
After Catwoman and Gothika you'd think she'd be begging for a role in
what's a good bet for a hit.

My take is that she sees the next X-Movie as a 'can't miss' proposition that
will make 100 million the opening weekend no matter what eventually makes it
to the screen, and she has enough clout to make it into a starring vehicle
for herself.

Gothika did well enough at the box office in the US and overseas to be
considered a success (especially considering its low cost), but Catwoman was
an unqualified stinker. One stinker, no matter how bad, doesn't sink a
movie star. (How is it possible Ben Afflick has a career after Gigli?)

The interesting thing is how this will play with the other actors. Although
Halle is very pleasant to work with (by all accounts), will Patrick Stewart,
Hugh Jackman and Ian McKellan come back for a Halle Berry vanity project? I
can't see that happening.

I also can't see Famke Janssen gracefully stepping to a supporting role
after the last movie set her up to star in this next one.

20CF really wants to get X3 into production as soon as possible, before any
of the principals move on to other projects or get too much older, so they
want to get this in the can within the next two years; that's why they
aren't going to wait for Singer to complete Superman. While they would
early like to believe that there may some day be an X4, it's crucial that X3
gets done as swiftly as possible. They want to start preproduction this
spring, for a summer 2007 release.

20CF and the cast are excited about the Phoenix Saga, and that has been the
basis of the X3 scripts now in development at 20CF. A lot depends on who
20CF picks for a director (supposedly at the end of this month). While all
the cast has expressed interest, they are all holding out to see who the
director will be, and what the script will look like.

If the script turns into "Storm: Warrior Princess of Halle Berry's Bank
Account", the rest of the cast will bail.

Obviously. I don't think Berry thinks Storm can be the star . I guess
she wanted Storm to be portrayed as a warrior. The only actors listed
in the imbd credits are Famke Janssen, Patrickt Stewart, Alan Cummings,
and Hugh Jackman.

If for example Rogue doesn't come back, they could use that time to show
Storm fighting more.

But anyway, everyone has said the film will be about the Dark Phoenix
saga and the studio can't change that.

BTW, they don't have to portray Storm as a warrior woman. Halle Berry
just won't be in it. It's her right to make demands and it's the
studios right to either accept them or reject them.

Again, It's total crap. The movie doesn't even have a director yet, let
alone a shooting schedule. Why would they want people to sign up as extras
months ahead of filming? The film industry doesn't work that way. And as
other posters have noted, they only do open casting for crowd scenes,
concert scenes and the like.

And the source is craigslist.org. I bet the "contact" is asking applicants
to mail a $25 money order (no checks please) to a post office box address.

Credulous idiots.

The director has already been chosen. And it starts filming this summer.
