Gambit Script Making the Rounds

Gambit Script Making the Rounds

A first draft script for an upcoming Gambit origin movie is finished and being passed around. My uncle works for Marvel.

I know at least that Michael Madsen and Kevin Corrigan are being considered for Mr. Sinister and Christina Aguilera, Shannyn Sossamon and Linda Cardellini for Dazzler. Jared Padalecki of "Gilmore Girls" fame and Ian Somerhalder are considered for Gambit, cause Taylor Kitsch is busy shooting other films. My uncle and I are huge gambit fans... please don't say my name, even though he is married to my aunt, but still =)

keep up the good work!

I think I'm gonna call B.S. on this one. Aguilera? As much as I'd love to see a Gambit film, I just don't see this one being on the top of the "To Do" list for Fox. Time will tell I guess.

Taylor Kitsch or no one

But this sounds fake. Even if there's a script that doesn't mean anything.

My sisters ex boyfriends farthers best mate bought a car from someone who's daughters best friends farther met a guy who once brushed shoulders with someone who works in telemarketing and phoned someone who used to work next door to someone who stood behind someone who worked for Marvel at McDonnalds once.

THAT'S how I know this is true ;)

it's not his uncle's friend's dog's mom's sister...it's just his uncle...anyways, these list of names seem too deliberate to be made up, besides i think Jared would make a cool Gambit!!!

Come on, this is absolutely true.

My best friend's sister's cousin's boyfriend, heard from this guy, who knows this kid, who's going out with the girl who's taking the script around Hollywood... I guess it's pretty serious.

I don't mean to sound insulting, but this sounds a little to juvenile to be true.

I love gambit and would love to see an origin movie. It would be epic! I just imagine kinetic energy out the wazoo lol. I liked taylor as gambit but I would like to see it played by someone with a thicker Cajun accent. It needs to sound likes southern drivel mixed with french, in english.

LUCAS BABIN for GAMBIT

Padalecki is very interesting, he was the first Manip of Gambit I ever did a few years ago ... But Lucas Babin is perfect. You may not know him very well, and from what you may know him as, you wouldn't think he'd be a very good Gambit, but I have total faith in him. He's perfect.

Manip of Babin with Gambit's eyes. See episode 3 of Angel season 2 for a scene where he fights with a bo-staff.
