Got my
XMFC DVD! *coos* I immediately watched the extra, called
Band of Brothers and that was so cool! It was about the casting process and the actors talked there and there were some BTS outtakes and
someone needs to screen-cap it now! The table read, them all scruffy and normal! James and Michael "boxing"! James and Jason Flemyng just chilling on the "Cuban" beach! Another "let's throw Sean off the satellite dish" BTS with lotsa giggles! Michael going through the casting process with his awful Carl Jung mustache! LOL. Yeah, there is only one real extra (the deleted scenes are... eh, I'm happy they got deleted, to be honest) and it's just 11 min. long but it filled me with glee!
What Fox Chairman Tom Rothman said in a recent interview about the status of a sequel to
XMFC:
"We're trying like hell. We're trying as hard as we can. We really want to do it. We're planning to do it." He also made it clear that its success has made the studio reevaluate how they handle comic book movies. "The reason, in addition to those two guys and Matthew Vaughn, that it was as good as it was that the script was really good. The key to making a great continuing franchise is to have a great script, so we're working hard on it."
Link.
I'm all for a great script. And I really want them to include Matthew Vaughn's idea, which seemed Charles-related. I don't know what it was but James McAvoy was so excited about it :)
You know what
XMFC fic I would love to read? An AU set in the
Tron universe. Charles as the Flynn-like user-friendly guardian program and guru of all the "blues" and Erik as Clu, the leader of the "reds". Come on! Someone needs to write it.
