Sooj Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Despite the stupid title "X-Men: The Last Stand", Fox Head Tom Rothman has confirmed that there will indeed be an X-Men 4, and probably more after that as well. Now it's all well and good for him to say that now... but if X-Men 3 is a bomb (which we all know it won't be... even if it sucks) then those words will be quickly eaten. So why the title "The Last Stand" then? Well, according to the good folks over at Movie Hole, Rothman offers the following explanation: “It's the conclusion of this trilogy. These three movies work as a trilogy. These characters in this relationship, it's the culmination of that saga. It's the culmination and the resolution of those relationships laid out in the first two movies. That doesn't mean never, I would ever say never again, but I will say that this brings that saga to an end. It's quite the way the last Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, brought that trilogy to a conclusion in terms of those characters, that's what this movie does. It goes all the way back to the first one and rounds off and completes that three-part storyâ€. Perhaps someone should tell Rothman that the end of the Lord of the Rings was indeed actually the end of the whole series. He might have missed that part. I personally still have major reservations about the next X-Men film... but my hope has risen over the last month. Let's hope it works out. Thus far the X-Men have been my favorite comic film franchise (yes, even more than Spider-Man) and I'd hate to see it go down the toilet. source:themovieblog.com
Hellfire Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 I loved 2 and 3, but I think they should just stop now.
AshMat Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Great stuff, the ending of 3 was left for so much. Especially the clip at the end of the creds
21st century cowboy Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 Just make the Wolverene and Magneto films instead. Have the Wolverene film a big hollywood popcorn flick and lets have a decent, true X-men film for Magneto. Not much chance of it but come back Bryan, please.
Mokong Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 (Possibly) Good news...so long as they get Singer back, [enter admin mode] Sorry but there is already an X-men thread, yes i know its on X3, but you can still discuss news on further films there so we can keep the board nice and tidy, thanks http://www.revo-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6753 [locked]
