Very wise. Did I hear something about the film being told in flashback (i.e. with scenes featuring present/ future/ old Magneto), or am I just imagining things...?
I do. Now it's been leaked onto the web and reaction has been... lukewarm, to say the least, I just can't see it being much of a success. Of course, there's also the problem that X-Men 3 was shit. It may not be catastrophic, but it's not going to be anywhere close to X-Men 3.

This film is in developmental hell right now.. There is absolutely no word until after Wolverine comes out.. If Wolverine is a success than this film will get made..
Sir Ian said himself that you may see him in the beginning and then at the end
Well, that didn't stop a lot of people watching it, and a great deal of people may then not bother watching Wolverine, but rather watch... Outlander, or whatever. Also, bad word of mouth may well **** this film up, and from what I've heard, little of the reaction has been positive. It may not be Elektra bad, but I'm pretty sure it will be a disappointment for Fox at the Box Office (not that I'm sorry about that; Fox are evil).

I've seen the 'shitty' quality version, it's kinda funny cause at first when I saw the first bad unfinished graphic I was like 'this isn't very good' then I was like oh wait I' watching the unfinished version
I hope they use the more recent origin and name him Max Eisenhardt and have him change it after killing the villagers in Vilnius.

I think the whole story of how he became Erik Lensherr would make a cool intro to the movie.

For the unaware: In the comics, Magneto was born in 1929 as Max Eisenhardt, a Jew living in Germany and developed a crush on a Romani girl named Magda Lensherr. He fled to Poland with his family and survived the Warsaw Ghetto and managed to escape until his family was caught by einsatsgruppen. His father, uncle, mother, and sister were machine gunned over an open pit but he survived because of the first manefistation of his powers. He was eventually caught and spent two years in Aushwitz as a sonderkommando until hooking up with Magda again and escaping during a revolt. They then moved to Vinnitsa, Ukraine were married, and had a daughter named Annya. Max worked as a carpenter but was stiffed of his wages because he was Jewish. He involuntarily used his powers to throw a crowbar at his boss, scaring him into paying him his full wage. That night, the boss riled up an angry mob who set fire to his house with his young daughter inside. Max freaked out after the mob stopped him from saving his daughter and used his powers to murder everyone. His pregnant wife ran off in horror. To cover up his crime and help search for Magda, Max hired a forger named Georg Odekirk to create the identity of Erik Lensherr the Sinte Gypsy. Apparantly before becoming a mutant supremacist, he also used his Magneto identity as a Nazi hunter as well.

Not really. They didn't talk about the angry mob and his real name wasn't given as Max Eisenhardt until late last year.
