There’s more X-Men 3 news over at Comic Book Movie. Let me summarise without too many spoilers:
1. Bill Duke is in (Predator, Mac “Anytime”) as a scientist
2. The Sentinels are in
3. Focus on Dark Pheonix
4. Claudia Schiffer says hubby Matthew Vaughn didn’t direct for more reasons than just his family. A suggestion that perhaps he didn’t like the movie!
Now, here’s the quotes.
Bill Duke (Predator, Commando, The Limey) will reportedly play a scientist (Trask) who created the Sentinels in X-Men 3…
…The storyline reportedly will revolve around the Jean Grey/Phoenix storyline and reports say the producers want to fast-forward to the Dark Phoenix saga in the same film, according to the Web site…
…Claudia Schiffer told the Guardian that…”Actually, there were several reasons he turned it down. We would have all traveled together and lived wherever was necessary. We would have made it work if he had loved everything else about that project, but he didn’t,” she said.
Considering the original rumours were sounding so negative, however the idea that they’re going to focus on Dark Pheonix is a ray of light in the darkness of rumour. Doug and John are 1-gazzillion percent right on the latest Audio Edition, if they did it right it would gush money for them, yet they’re just on the road to murdering it – check out their comments (“keep Alan Cummings”, oh I giggled!).
