X3 - X-Men: The Last Straw

[pete]

yeah it just looks average.  I'm not saying it's cheap, but the fighting I'm sure won't be as cool as X2 and the special effects neither.  I wasn't into the first one but I saw the second one midnight of the opening day and I just remember having such a blast looking at the special effects.  I'd never seen a crowd so pumped up over CGI shots before this movie.  Sadly, I doubt x3 will do that.

the trip hop beat at the beggining of the trailer, that was funny

I like the guy and all, but what thought process does one go through that culminates with the decision to cast Kelsey Grammar as a creature in an action film?? Curious....

The evil mutant assassin Psylocke has joined the lineup of "X-Men 3," the latest installment of the Marvel superhero franchise.

The character will be played by Filipina actress Mei Melancon, who previously worked with "X-Men 3" director Brett Ratner in "Rush Hour 2."

Word began leaking last week from the Vancouver set that "X-Men 3" would introduce Psylocke, who has had several incarnations in the Marvel comic book series and is best known for her fighting and telepathic skills as well as an ability to transport herself and others through shadows. In the film, she will fight against the X-Men as a member of Magneto's (Ian McKellen) Brotherhood of Mutants.

"X-Men 3" is set to bow May 26, on Memorial Day weekend, via Twentieth Century Fox.

watch it again though... you can see the awkwardness of the camera movements... unecessary dolly moves and crane shots... it's like you can almost see the equipment

X3 Officially Titled
Fox makes a Stand.

The XVerse has been advised by 20th Century Fox that X-Men 3 has now been officially titled X-Men: The Last Stand. There had been rumors of that new title for awhile.

"X-Men: The Last Stand, is currently being cleared for usage. The title also appeared in a review of 2006 films by USA Today, lending further support to the notion," reports The XVerse.

In related news, The Comics Continuum reports that the novelization of X3, adapted by X-Men comics scribe Chris Claremont, will be released by Del Rey on May 16.

The novel's official plot synopsis claims that in X3, "with the help of new recruits The Beast and Angel, (the X-Men) must face evolution itself in the form of their former teammate, Jean Grey! Possessed with the cosmic power of the Dark Phoenix, the resurrected Jean Grey has become a danger to herself, her mutant comrades, and the entire planet! To stave off this imminent threat to humanity, a potential cure is discovered and processed to treat -- and ultimately eliminate -- genetic mutations, once and for all! Now, as the battle lines are drawn, the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier, must contend with both Jean Grey's world-consuming powers, as well as the malevolent Brotherhood, a band of powerful mutants organized under Xavier's former ally, Magneto!"

kinda fucked up that they're trying to milk this whole 'trilogy' notion to get more people into the theatre when they're totally planning on doing these films forever.  or maybe they just mean 'the last stand of all the characters you care about who got too expensive and you can have 10 more movies with lesser mutants. 

[picolas]

1 in 300 will take the time to say that title instead of "X3" like last time, though.
