Producer Lauren Shuler Donner recently spoke to IESB during a roundtable interview in which she discussed various upcoming films.
When asked about X-Men 4 ever happening:
"I hope so, I think if we can work out the economics of it, absolutely. Certainly there are tons of stories. There is 40 years worth of stories. I’ve always wanted to do Days of Future Past and there are just really a lot of stories yet to be told. I wouldn’t rule anything out."
On Constantine 2:
"Constantine was huge foreign, international, therefore, there is a good financial reason to make a sequel. And, I think we really want to do it as a hard R, I mean, really go into the Constantine world and do it even more justice than the movie, even though I thought the movie was true to its core. We have a terrific idea of the world we want to go into, it’s a nice, really terrifying world and Keanu is willing so we should do it!"
The story's setting:
"It’s a Latin American country, I’ll say that, a South American country."
On Wolverine's filming:
"I don’t know, it’s our desire but, you certainly, you know, he has to be available and willing and my desire is always to shoot it sooner than later because every year there are more and more comic book movies and we want to remain fresh in everybody’s mind. So, I’m hoping to do it in the Fall, another movie may precede us, I don’t know."
On Magneto:
"Yes, it starts off in the concentration camp and what he went through and the consequences of when he came out and what it did to his character, his psyche, and then how that evolution from being a persecuted Jew to a persecuted mutant comes to be and then from that persecuted mutant to the reversal, the feeling that he is almost superior to the homo-sapiens."
"No he’s not, he and Xavier built Cerebro. They worked together. They were delighted to find each other and share this secret that they had."
On Metal Men:
"I am developing Metal Men at Warners, which is a DC Comic, which is a very difficult one because it’s very dated, but it’s fun. It’s more like Men in Black in tone. And Cirque Du Freak, which is a new franchise, different kind of franchise and more in the Harry Potter world but darker and edgier."
