Patrick Stewart Says X-Men 3 in 2005

The Bradenton Herald spoke to Patrick Stewart, aka Prof. Xavier in the X-Men films, about the third installment.
Despite Star Trek's continued success in syndication and on the silver screen, a younger generation of viewers knows Stewart best not as Captain Picard, but as Professor Charles Xavier, from the two blockbuster X-Men pictures, the latter of which opened in 2003.
"X-Men 3 should come out in 2005," Stewart said on the red carpet. During the discussion inside the theater he said he hoped the franchise continues for several more films.
He also said he won't be doing any more "Star Trek" films.


If this is true they'd better start crackig. According to what I read so far they only have the treatment ready. And only a few actors are signed.
I still hope it's true tho. :)

From "The Art of X2: The Collector's Edition."
As a Trekker, working with Patrick Stewart - Trek world's noble Captain Picard - was a thrill in and of itself for Singer, and it also gained him a cameo in the recent Star Trek: Nemesis. An even bigger thrill? One night, Stewart and his wife invited Singer over to his Los Angeles home for dinner. The doorbell rang, and standing there was none other than Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner. "The most unbelievable thing," recalls Singer, "was playing Next-Generation pinball with Shatner in Patrick Stewart's den."

If you have the "Star Trek: Nemesis" DVD, turn on Chapter 18, and keep your eye open for Bryan Singer's cameo. Or you can just have a look at the pictures here: http://comeniusabc.angelcities.com/BryanSinger/BryanSinger.htm
