roguemJackman and Donner Talk X3!
The X2 cast and crew seem eager to return for another helping of mutant life, as they've made comments on the future X3. Today, X1/X2 Producer, Lauren Shuler Donner and Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, give X3 mentions:
Chicago Sun-Times interviewed Donner about her upcoming flick she's producing, CONSTANTINE, and she gave her opinions on the possible X3, saying "Oh, there will definitely be X3. We're looking for a great story. We're lucky with this series because there is 40 years of great stories in comics. I hope Halle comes back. We just have to give her something great to do." As for a release date, she says, "That same nice May date in 2005 sounds good to me."
Superhero Hype's scooper, gave this quote from Hugh Jackman, when he appeared on GMTV this morning:
"Well, it'll be a few years off, but I am ties to the character of Wolverine and really do want to know how his story progresses. I owe a lot to Wolverine, and I love working with Bryan Singer and Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan and the guys, so I'd be silly to throw it all away, so yes...when they're ready, I'm there."
X-Men 3 First, Then a Wolverine Spin-Off!
The Sydney Morning Herald talked to Lauren Shuler Donner about the X-Men franchise and she has some very good news for the fans.
Hugh Jackman could soon have his own superhero movie franchise. A plan is being developed in Hollywood to spin off Jackman's popular X-Men character, Wolverine, into a separate film. X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner said she was developing X-Men 3 and planned to follow it up with the Wolverine movie, with Jackman starring in both.
"The ideal thing will be to do Wolverine after X-Men 3 and that's what we plan to do," Shuler Donner said. "We'll probably develop Wolverine at the same time, but we'll do X3 then we'll do Wolverine."
And all the fans gather to do a collective cheer of YES!
Singer & Arad on X3, Wolverine Spin-Off & More!
About.com caught up with X-Men series director Bryan Singer and Marvel Studios' Avi Arad and asked about X-Men 3, the Wolverine spin-off, The Punisher, Blade: Trinity, Spider-Man 2 and Fantastic Four. Here's a snippit from the article...
Arad said, "Well, if she told you we are prepping, we must be prepping." A flabbergasted Singer said, "Uh, great! Awesome. I don't think I can talk about it, but I'd like to make X3 very much, so we'll see if we can work it out."
Stories reported that not only is Shuler-Donner planning X3, but a separate Wolverine film. Singer's response to that was, "I don't know. I think an X-men film is simultaneously a Wolverine film, so in my opinion that's something that might happen afterwards, but ultimately I can't even talk about it." Arad added, "I think that both concepts are valid and both will be made."

Date: 2003-11-18 08:26 pm (UTC)Oh man, I had the wierdest dream... someone suggested another actor as Wolvie! lol.. heh ;)
Oh god, I just can't imagine... that would be so wierd!
I would be surprised if they hold off on Gambit that long. I really think they'll bring him in X3 and do a love triangle with Rogue and Iceman.
