Director quits X3

What about richard donner being the new directer,he is married to the main producer;plus he did help produce x1-I think he'd be a good choice.

yeah Richard Donner would be a great choice....maybe the best.

They need a new director.

Hey, War of the Worlds is done..let's get Steven Speilberg!

Or better, Tim Burton can pull a Batman Begins and make everything crazy...

Can't have Stephen Spielberg!!!! He's obsessed with happy endings, and if there's any hope of there being an X-4, this one can NOT have a happy ending. Can't see old Stevie doing anything that doesn't involve riding off into the sunset.

what are they doing drawing names out of a hat for who can direct X3?? I wonder if my name in the hat

I'm inclined to agree... although he did Saving Private Ryan and Amistad... he also did Minority Report... he does drama well, though Superheroes? i'm not so sure...

as for donner, his last decent movie was lethal weapon 4, which was seven years ago... i don't think he could do a dark theme...

I was actually optimistic about Vaughn, he seemed to want to up the action quota, which was what the x movies sorely needed...

My vote? Guillermo del Toro.. he did Blade II and Hellboy... he can do dark Superheroes well imo...

Stephen Norrington did Blade I, he could also be good...

we need more action...more team work in the X movies...I think they were trying to make the story too real..but I don't think they should go the colorful costume route though.

With spielberg,we would probably get to see some awesome stuff.Fox wouldn't denie him a decent budget.With him,we would probably get to see astroid M and the Sentinals.

and Apocalypse, and the Phallanx..the techno aliens...if they go the alien road...I'd love to see the Phallanx..maybe they could make a big budget Generation X movie spin off.

If they do every thing the roumors say they will, that would cost millions, the only way to ensure that we see all the X-men enemys, is to go see the movies, and singel handedly make them a succes, so they'll be a next one!

Wasn't Minority Report the one with Tom Cruise in it? If so, that had a hideously "happy" ending, those things that had been imprisoned their entire lives were suddenly living free in the hills. Oh yeah, like they'd be able to survive longer than a day on their own.... 🙄

😆 i didnt say it wasnt happy, but it was a solid sci fi movie...

I know, I really liked that film, but the end REALLY annoyed me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Spielberg fan (he bought us Indiana Jones!!!inlove )

Tim Burton...😛

He'd probably end up casting Johnny Depp as Gambit.

Just kidding, so don't step on my tail!

But I really do LOVE Burton.

Hellboy was quite enjoyable. So was Blade II. That director would be good.

And for once, I DON'T want a nobody...I'm often saying "Ooh, let's get a sexy no one for Emma Frost" but even though nobody's turn up cult hits, the X-Men movies need a somebody.

I know how to find a good emma, set up a ritzy benift pary, and see which blond dose a bodyshot! I pure genious!

Ain't-It-Cool-News has learned that 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios have narrowed the position for X-Men 3 director down to two names. Matthew Vaughn left the production earlier this week due to personal reasons.

The site says that the director's chair will either go to John Moore, who helmed both "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Flight of the Phoenix" for Fox, or to Brett Ratner, best known for the "Rush Hour" films and who has also directed such films as "After the Sunset" and "Red Dragon".

Stay tuned for when one of these names will be confirmed.

Brett Ratner - I mean I did enjoy the Rush Hour films, but they were comedy, is he able to carry such a huge production film, I don't know to me he is a 50/50.

John Moore - I haven't seen one of his films that he has directed, and he has only directed six in the last fifteen years.

Donner would be good for the whole team battles,but other than that it would just go bad.

ive seen "behind enemy lines" it aint bad...

ratner as you said is so/so...

i think once they keep vaughns script, then we should be fine...

Whats with all the war movies that these directors did? am I the only one that notices this???

I kind of hate war movies.

Yeah as long as they don't change the script it should be alright.
