More on XM:DOFP

[katikat]

Bryan Singer added more X-Men to his movie: Rogue (Anna Paquin), Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) and Iceman (Shawn Ashmore). Once again, I'm starting to get the feeling that the movie will be way, way over-crowded. Bryan Singer promised this movie would be HUGE but... I guess I would prefer something small and intimate?

What Bryan Singer has said about the movie so far...

“We’ve cracked [time travel] in a way that it makes sense. I had a two-hour conversation with James Cameron about time travel, string theory, multiverses and all that. You have to create your rules and stick with them. That’s why Terminator and Back To The Future work so well. And there are certain mechanisms in X-Men, certain powers, perceptions, and characters that make this possible.”

“It has a lot of aspects of the comic. The actual comic of Days Of Future Past had a whole ton of stuff going on, so it’s like any of these things; you have to distill it. But I think the fans will be pleased that some of the most exciting parts of Days Of Future Past are going to be connected to this movie.”

“I’m taking into account every movie – I’m not just grabbing my first two movies and First Class and smashing them together. I’m taking into account the entire universe as it’s been laid out so far on the screen, and really respecting it and trying to work with that. People took things in various directions, so there’s some clean-up. But ultimately I’m not just ignoring them either.”

I just... I just want a movie that's about Charles and Erik, first and foremost. Yes, XMFC made me greedy, I admit it, but Charles and Erik and their relationship are the things that really, really worked in XMFC. The fact that Singer produced XMFC gives me hope but... I really do wish they would now stop adding characters. Enough is enough.
