And that whole opening with the CGI de-aging was just creepy as hell to me, so I hope they don't do much of that in a Magneto movie. Recast.<BR/><BR/>Not sold on Goyer as director, but he has done some good writing, so its wait and see for me. I'm just waiting for them to announce a Wolverine director. I hope they get it right.<BR/><BR/>As for QT doing a spaghetti Western on slavery, I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of his mouth until somebody is bank rolling it and he's filming with actual actors. Still though, its a scary thought.<BR/><BR/>And Divinity - I agree with you. I liked the first movie with what they did with Rogue, but then to do next to nothing with her in X2 and a completely out of character and non comic canon decision in X3 was criminal. They should of had her growing more confident and kicking butt with her powers as it progressed, not whatever the hell that was in X3.Eaglewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372974358045440796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-56947866141946402512007-04-27T22:59:00.000-04:002007-04-27T22:59:00.000-04:00I need someone to do a proper Rogue origin movie. ...I need someone to do a proper Rogue origin movie.

I have a lot more faith in him to do the story justice...just please, no more Ratner. <BR/><BR/>As for the recast, to be honest, I'd actually rather see that than the alternative that I'd heard about...that they would do the flick with McKellen, and do the CG-age-down thing that they did in the beginning of X3. That just looked creepy to me...made Stewart and McKellen look like moving wax museum statues.
