There has been more bad news than good coming out of X-Men 3 land, but this interview with director Brett Ratner is at least a little encouraging. In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Ratner says that one of the most important things to him on this project was staying true to the tone and feel that Bryan Singer set with the first 2 X-Men installment. Here’s some of what was said:
In casting the new actors, Ratner said that he tried to remain true to Singer’s vision. “I thought, ‘If Bryan was directing this movie, who would he hire?'” he said. “I was very careful, not because I want to make sure he’s happy with the movie—although I care what he thinks and I respect his work—but I didn’t want to have fans saying, ‘Where did that come from?'”
This is good news. The only question is… did Ratner succeed? We’ll know the answer May 26th.
