Rumors had been buzzing around the next, that X-MEN film star Anna Paquin may not be reprising her role in 2006's X-MEN 3. XMF can unfortunately confirm that news today...but fear not! Paquin will not be leaving the franchise behind, fully! 20th Century Fox and Marvel Films have just announced that they plan to move forward with their next X-MEN spin-off film...ROGUE!
"I'm so crazy excited right now, hehe!" laughs Anna Paquin. "I never in a hundred years thought that they'd make a film for my character alone, but I'm totally excited!"
20th Century Fox has put aside plans for their WOLVERINE spin-off to follow X3, in 2007, and have instead decided that ROGUE should debut in May 2007...with SPIDER-MAN 3.
"ROGUE will appeal to a much different audience, than SPIDER-MAN" says executive producer, Avi Arad. "We're aiming this film more towards the girls and sci-fi fans. It's going to be a mix between X-MEN, AMERICAN PIE, CLUELESS, and MINORITY REPORT...really interesting stuff" said Arad as he gave an enthusiastic thumbs up.
So what will the story be in ROGUE, and who's writing it? Sheldon Turner, who's currently writing the serious spin-off drama, MAGNETO, will stop work on that film for ROGUE. "I'm so excited...I can't breathe. I'm just going to put the MAGNETO film on hold, and work on the southern bell." said Turner. "It's going to be great! We're going to put Rogue back in high school, with human kids. She'll join the cheerleading squad, and battle against an evil, super-powered villainess, called 'Cheers'.
20th Century Fox is already sending out casting call sheets for the other cast members. They are already looking for "the next Tom Cruise" to play Rogue's love interest, and are searching for "the next Paris Hilton" to play Rogue's snotty best friend.
The $105 million budgeted film is expected to start shooting sometime next year in New York for it's 2007 release, and will be directed by newcomer, Mattieu April Fools.

this news pisses me off. Rogue in high school and cheerleading squad?
Uhhh... it sounds good, EXCEPT yeah, cheerleading squad??? Highschool??? uh, oh... they do know the character Rogue don't they. Let's all pray every freaking night that they know who Rogue is! AHHHH!
and why the hell would they suddenly stop and change their minds about Magneto and Wolverine to make this... teeny bopper crap? OOOoo, I hope it's not teeny bopper!!! they may even cast that b**** Brittany Spears!!! let's just have a Gambit spin off instead... wait... what if they make him in highschool too??? on the basketball team???
AHHH!!! maybe they'll just have an erratic, sudden change of heart on 'Rogue' too and move on to something else... urgh.
