I guess there was an interview in October where the producers basically said that this movie may never get made and of all the possibilities may be pushed to the bottom of the list or whatever. That and McKellen says he's too old. It's really too bad because of all the stories they could have done with the X-Men franchise, this was the most grounded and able to get some better acceptance and recognition.
I had an idea about this awhile back and may have posted it somewhere. I'd like to hear your opinions on this idea-
The movie starts with young Max Eisenhardt and his family living in Germany where he meets and befriends a young Romani girl named Magda Lensherr. They move to Poland after Kristalnacht but are rounded up into the Warsaw Ghetto after the Germany invades. Max works as a smuggler in the ghetto, using his "intuition" to find metal coins. His family is then deported to Auschwitz and the first scene from the first X-Men movie takes place.
Max is mysteriously spared execution and put to work as a Sonderkommando due to his skill in finding gold and silver fillings and jewlery on corpses. He soon finds out that Magda is in the women's camp and he is being shielded by a scientist nicknamed Nosferatu, a mutant over a century old who is secretly in command of Josef Mengele. He subjects Max to experiments until he and Magda escape during a camp revolt in 1945.
He begins a family in Vilnius where his anti-semitic co-workers ignite his home, trapping his daughter inside. He loses control and murders the entire village as Magda escapes, pregnant and terrified. He hires a forger to create the Erik Lensherr identity in order to elude prosecution, going into hiding for years, ashamed of his crimes.
In the 1960's, he's sought out and hired by a secret black ops project run by Truett Hudson and a young William Stryker. They are Nazi hunters and offer Erik the opportunity to avenge himself on the killers of his parents and on Nosferatu, giving him intel showing that Nosferatu is actually Nathaniel Essex, a hundred year old British scientist and nobleman who has been secretly conducting experiments in an effort to construct the perfect human weapon for years. He now goes under the name of Sinister and has used his research from experiments with Max to create a working model of bonding human bone with metal. Erik, going under the code name Magneto manages to stop and kill him, only to find out that the programs true operation was to steel Sinister's work for its own ends. Disgusted with humanity once more, he leaves for Israel, seeking to devote himself to God, a teacher.
Flash forward to 1992...(continued in the X-men movie: Magneto comic)
