Singer Interested In X-MEN!

12 October 2009 44 Comments

While speaking at the Pusan International Film Festival in South Korea, X-Men-X2 director Bryan Singer stated that he’s still interested in returning to the mutant franchise.

“I’m still looking to possibly returning to the ‘X-Men’ franchise.” said Singer. “I’ve been talking to Fox about it. I love Hugh Jackman. I love the cast.”

Singer said he enjoyed making the films because it was a way to show something socially relevant, but in a fun way. “[I like to] trick audiences into thinking they’re seeing fireworks, but they’re learning about themselves and listening to what I have to say.”

Should Bryan Singer make a return to the mutant franchise?

    It would be awesome to have him return! Bring on the Sentinels!!

  • superDrool said:

    Come back Bryan Singer!!!

  • Nick said:

    I said yes but he and Fox need to do X4 and do it big and right.
    Bring Cyclops back bring Storm and he up to the front as leaders and make Wolverine more of a supporting role in this film.

  • Sladewol said:

    Yes! bring brian back! and i hope he learned that cyclops should be the main role, make it like X2

  • Sinister Smiles said:

    Well, with Bryan Singer on board we would get better characterization but the action would feel like a big step backwards. So I guess it depends on what story they wanted to tell and if Bryan was willing to go a little crazier with the action sequences.

  • Cyber-X said:

    i said let,s give him a chance we have nothing to lose i do it for the XMF so how much i adore this amazing site thanks

  • Sladewol said:

    he can cast christain bale as Mr Sinister and O,Bloom as Gambit

  • Avatar said:

    It would be awesome if he return to the franchise and fix all the wrong on xmen 3, but we need a xmen 4! and then a first class movie.
    I hope he could make it and join all the original cast in a very pretty cool history!

  • chris said:

    i would love to see him do x-4 and x-5 back to back and bring us more colossus,iceman,cyclops,angel,gambit,nightcrawler,rogue,and storm.and the sentinels. i look forward to this and first class with the sentinels,and the magneto film.

  • GUMBO said:

    I would like to see Bryan Singer back in the X-men franchise specially when it comes to future installment of the series.

    If he does make X4 I really hope that they can do it soon and of course i’d like to see the uonger X-men in Action…

  • Nick said:

    I agree, I would love to see him back but I would want to see the action stepped up from x2.

  • Joe said:

    I voted Yes. For the following reasons;

    1. He knows now that it was a mistake to make Superman Returns, and Warner Brothers really did not give that movie a big promo when it was released. His true calling should be the X-Men.

    2. Lauren Donner and Stan Lee have made it known they want Bryan to come back. as Hugh Jackman has also.

    3. The damage that X3 caused needs to be fixed.

    But I am also interested in a second Wolverine movie and X-Men First Class.

  • X-MAN said:

    X2 is best ever comicbook movie. Bryan please make X4.
    Rattner and X3 was mistake.

  • Sladewol said:

    X3 was ok but it looked more based off a comic book, brians world was diffrent, so that would be awesome if he returns to make one for 2011, also even though i want cyclops’s face alover the movie wolverine can have a battle with X-23 and if the acotr for nightcrawler doesn’t return johnny depp or jim carrey coulkd try to become him,

  • ken said:

    welcome back x-men director the original!!!!!!!

  • ken said:

    you forgot!!! you also love us!!! the fans!!! we love you and we will support you!!!

  • Hughman Bein said:

    You know it’s coming. The question is what it will look like when it finally gets here and if Fox will lay off a little bit. We NEED the 3 hour special effects fest that is going to be laying the ground work for bigger and better! Xmen meet Apocalypse for 9 hours– that’s all I ask.

  • Xavier said:

    I gave a no-vote (I don’t care). Honestly… after his last movies tanked, I do not wonder he wants to return. But he has proven with Superman and the Cruisenberg Movies that he can mess up.

    I would prefere Gavin Hood for Wolverine 2, and Singer for let’s say Magneto, or First Class.

  • Cybeeriad said:

    I vote yes. I’m up for anybody doing anything about an X-men movie at this point.

  • chris said:

    very exciting news if he comes back and does x-4,and x-5. or first class,and magneto. i prefer he do x-4,and x-5 to fill the holes that x-3 and wolverine left like what happens next for cyclops,sabretoothe,nightcrawler,gambit,colossus,iceman,rogue,and angel (etc).and the sentinels. we are glad to hear your back Bryan Singer.

  • chris said:

    hope to see beak,chamber,and husk in the films lol.

  • X-KiD said:

    OMG YES!!! Bring on the Sentinels, Mister Sinister and APOCALYPSE!

  • Sladewol said:

    maybe they can have mercory

  • Bobby Farmer said:

    since bryan singer is coming back to the x-men franchise. now we can get the chance to see the x-men 4 storyline that feature the x-men and the brotherhood teaming up to face on apocalyse,mr.sinster,the four horseman of the apocalyse,the sentinels,and the government agent,danny glyrich. that would be awesome to see that happen.

  • rak said:

    we want X4, we want X4!!!
    X-Men: rise of fourth rider of Apocalypse

  • chris said:

    how about the sentinels are chaseing mutants down after what happens in x-3 rogue gets her powers back and magneto comes to save the day,cyclops is found and he and wolverine get into it the professor comes back and stops them from fighting.they are fighting the sentinels threw the movie,and at THE END APOCALYPSE AND SINISTER MUST BE STOPPED.so the x-men team up and and are almost defeated but magneto and the professor toghether stop apocalypse,and sinister is stopped by cyclops the real leader of the x-men.

  • chris said:

    beak,and chamber can be in there somewere.

  • Sladewol said:

    good plot chris

  • Bishop said:

    and he again with those beak and chamber, there are many better known mutants

  • chris said:

    there stories are very emotional compared to alot of the other well know mutants,and i love the odd looking mutants.i think if they used them in the new mutant movie and kinda mixed generation-x and new x-men special class the film would work really well.sorry but i must keep posting about them till they listen and put them in the films even if its a cameo. they tricked me and said they would use beak in wolverine and then i found out it was just bolt and i was very dissapointed.

  • chris said:

    well guys i hear over at comicbookmovies.com that luarun shuller donner says that wolverine2 is being made. first class will keep the tone of the x-men films what a relief,and deadpool is being made.ohhhh and magneto might not be made,or it might be made in 5 years. i would love to see first class and magneto and i really hope they do the magneto film. i also think they should do the gambit film,mystique film,night crawler film,district-x,newmutants fused with special class,and generation-x film,and most of all x-4,adn x-5 back to back with bryan singer as the director,because i love a action sci fi film thats smart and well thought out with a great story and he knows how to do it.so there you go fans oohhhhh and i cannot forget bring on beak,and chamber, and some sentinels,and sinister, and apocalypse, and omega red wooooo sorry i got carried away again.lol you guys have fun catch you all tomorrow.

  • chris said:

    we need another hulk sequel as well guys someone needs to get that going.later

  • Bishop said:

    it good that was Bolt, because Beak has nothing to Wolverine

  • X-KiD said:

    I agree Chris, we need another Hulk film, The Incredible Hulk was amazing! I don’t know why there wasn’t talk about a sequel after the film did ok in theaters, if they don’t make a sequel then the Hulk should be the main villan in The Avengers movie.

    I know this is totally off topic but Chris has got a point.

  • Cybeeriad said:

    @ Bishop

    As if Emma Frost, Gambit, Blob, Cyclops had anything to do with wolverine iLOL!

  • Joe said:

    I doubt very much Fox wants him back….and They would likely go with another director.

  • chris said:

    if fox was smart they would hire him back for x-4,and x-5 back to back,and first class with the sentinels.brian singer knows how to make a deep, smart,action x-men film with emotion.i hope he comes back and does them and uses sinsiter,apocalypse,beak,and chamber,as well as angel,colossus,iceman,cyclops,emma frost,nightcrawler,gambit,charles,and rogue.and wolverine storm,and beast can have minor roles

  • chris said:

    as for the magneto film let david goyer do it,kets just get some x-men films moving along.

  • chris said:

    and lauren shuller donner is talking about new mutants the movie well the only way that will work is if generation-x,and the new x-men special class is intertwined and all of the other characters can show up that are not used in the other film.

  • chris said:

    i think anole and rockslide would be cool to see.i like mutants from all the different comics and think thats the only way to make a new mutant film the best it could be.

  • Joe said:

    I think it very unlikely they will do all of this.

    I have doubts Singer will be back for X-Men 4, but who knows?!

    Bryan Singer quer voltar em ‘X-Men 4′

    O diretor Bryan Singer, diretor dos dois primeiros ‘X-Men’, quer voltar à franquia. Ele está em negociações com a 20th Century Fox para uma possível continuação da trilogia ‘X-Men’.

    Singer abandonou o cargo no terceiro filme para dirigir ‘Superman – O Retorno’, que foi relativamente mal nas bilheterias.

    “Eu considero voltar. Estou conversando com a Fox sobre isso. Amo Hugh Jackman e amo este elenco”, revelou

    Singer, assumidamente homossexual, também falou que gosta da temática. “As pessoas acham que estão assistindo um filme sobre intolerância contra mutantes e efeitos especiais, mas na verdade estão aprendendo a ser menos preconceituosos”, finalizou.

    Dirigida por Bryan Singer (Operação Valquíria) e Brett Ratner (A Hora do Rush e Dragão Vermelho), a saga X-Men (X-Men: O Filme; X-Men 2 e X-Men: O Confronto Final) narra a batalha entre mutantes e humanos e sua tentativa de coexistir. O Professor Charles Xavier deve levar os conhecidos heróis mutantes Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Storm (Halle Berry), Cyclops (James Marsden) e Rogue (Anna Paquin) para lutar contra os vilões do mal e usar seus poderes para o bem da humanidade.

    Lauren Donner quer filmar X-Men 4 e Novos Mutantes

    Segundo o site Slashfilm, a produtora Lauren Shuler Donner quer fazer mais dois filmes sobre os X-Men: X-Men 4 e Novos Mutantes.

    Isso em adição aos projetos Deadpool e X-Men First Class, que já estão sendo desenvolvidos.

    Aliás, sobre X-Men First Class, Donner desmentiu a informação divulgada no Twitter de que as filmagens já teriam começado.

    Segundo ela, o filme não está no estágio de desenvolvimento e nem mesmo os atores estão com contratos assinados.

    Por enquanto, X-Men 4 está longe de se tornar uma realidade. Embora Donner esteja interessada nesse filme, ela nem mesmo discutiu a ideia com a 20th Century Fox.

    As discussões em curso para X-Men 4 e X-Men 5
    Recently a special event was held to promote the soon to be released X-Men Origins: Wolverine DVD and Blu-ray. X-Men Origins: Wolverine director Gavin Hood attended the event together with X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner. Recentemente, um evento especial foi realizada para promover o que em breve será lançado X-Men Origins: Wolverine DVD e Blu-ray. X-Men Origins: Wolverine diretor Gavin Hood participou do evento juntamente com X-Men produtora Lauren Shuler Donner.

    I’ve already posted the key info that surfaced regarding Gavin Hood, which was basically that he’s not yet attached to direct X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 and that the film is still a long way off. You can read that article here . Eu já postou a info-chave que surgiram a respeito Gavin Hood, que era basicamente que ele ainda não está directamente ligado a X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 e que o filme é ainda uma maneira longa fora. Você pode ler esse artigo aqui.

    But it seems the most interesting information to surface came from Donner who served up some tidbits on X-Men 4, X-Men 5, and X-Men: First Class. She also commented on what she thinks about the controversy surrounding Ryan Reynolds taking on the starring roles in both Deadpool and The Green Lantern. Mas parece que as informações mais interessantes para a superfície veio de Donner, que serviu acima de alguns boatos sobre X-Men 4, 5 X-Men e X-Men: First Class. Ela também comentou sobre o que ela pensa sobre a polêmica em torno Ryan Reynolds, tendo sobre os papéis principais em ambos os Deadpool e Lanterna Verde.

    Confirmation that discussions are underway for X-Men 4 and 5 : A confirmação de que as discussões estão em andamento para X-Men 4 e 5:

    I think there are some wonderful storylines I’d like to pursue in X-Men 4 and 5 , but who knows? Eu acho que há algumas histórias maravilhosas que eu gostaria de prosseguir em X-Men 4 e 5, mas quem sabe? Obviously Fox is my partner, so we’re in discussions about what will be next Obviamente Fox é meu parceiro, por isso estamos em discussões sobre qual será o próximo

    On whether or not she has an issue with Ryan Reynolds playing both Deadpool and The Green Lantern : Sobre se ou não, ela tem um problema com Ryan Reynolds Deadpool jogando ambos e Lanterna Verde:

    Not on my end, personally, not on my end, no. Não no meu fim, pessoalmente, não no meu fim, não. I think you can do different characters. Eu acho que você pode fazer personagens diferentes. We’ve had different Bonds right, and I think if Harrison Ford can be in Indiana Jones and he can be in the Tom Clancy movies, I think if you are a good actor you become the character and it’s alright. Tivemos Bonds diferentes para a direita, e eu acho que se pode ser Harrison Ford em Indiana Jones e ele pode ser nos filmes de Tom Clancy, acho que se você é um bom ator você se torna o personagem e isso é certo.

    Whilst she didn’t reveal anything we didn’t already know about X-Men: First Class , she did make a brief comment about the potential for Bryan Singer, who directed X-Men and X2, to return to direct the prequel: Embora ela não revelar nada que já não soubesse sobre X-Men: First Class, ela fez um breve comentário sobre o potencial de Bryan Singer, que dirigiu X-Men e X2, para voltar a dirigir a prequela:

    There’s a possibility. Há uma possibilidade.

    That might be a good possibility given Donner added that Singer would not be too busy with other projects, though it’s hard to fathom how that can be possible when you consider just how many projects Singer currently has on his plate. Perhaps his Battlestar Galactica feature film is a lot further off than the 2011 date it has been tentatively scheduled for. Isso poderia ser uma boa possibilidade dada Donner Singer acrescentou que não estaria muito ocupado com outros projectos, embora seja difícil de entender como isso pode ser possível quando se consideram apenas os projectos quantos Singer atualmente tem em seu prato. Talvez seu filme de Battlestar Galactica é muito mais largo do que a data de 2011 foi marcado para.

    Either way, all pretty good news for fans of X-Men. De qualquer maneira, toda a notícia muito boa para os fãs de X-Men
