Director Bryan Singer on X2 DVD & X3TV Guide talked to
X-Men movies director Bryan Singer about the newDVD and also
X-Men 3. Here's a few snippets:
TVGO: What's your favorite line in the film?
Singer: I love when Ian McKellen says to Patrick Stewart, "You should have killed me when you had the chance." Because if he had just done that, none of the problems in X-Men 1, X2 or maybe even X3 would've happened.
TVGO: So give me a little something more about X-Men 3.
Singer: I just did. You're not hearing it. "You should have killed me when you had the chance."
TVGO: Magneto comes back again?
Singer: (Coyly) I don't know about that...
TVGO: Are there certain characters you just couldn't make the movie without?
Singer: Yes. Not all the characters, but there are a few that I wouldn't want to make it without.
TVGO: Hugh Jackman, obviously?
Singer: Yeah.

Lauren Shuler Donner on Constantine & X-Men 3!Variety has published an excellent interview with producer Lauren Shuler Donner about the
X-Men franchise and more. Here's a clip about
Constantine and
X-Men 3... Fans also have been vocal about "Constantine," whose comicbook premise of a chain-smoking, hard-drinking con artist and occultist with real magical knowledge is about as far removed from superheroes as you can get. Aficionados' foremost concern is the recasting of the comics' very English John Constantine as an American. But Shuler Donner, who believes fans will be happy with Reeves, says the character's bad attitude and irreverence has survived intact. "It's extremely close in spirit. John Constantine is a really unique character because he walks the line between good and bad, between hell and heaven. He doesn't care if he's liked."
After "Constantine", Shuler Donner plans a short break from comics to do the drama "The Secret Life of Bees" and then is back for "X3". For the third installment, she wants to include a loquacious, blue-furred scientist called the Beast and a sequence in the "X-Men's" training center, the Danger Room.
