Legendary X-men scribe Chris Claremont told MTV Geek he’s been asked to provide some consultation on the film.


“I’ve been asked to kind of, maybe be around for a little consultation,” Claremont told the website. “I won’t have a lot of input at all, but it’s nice that they asked.”

Claremont goes on to say that he is excited to see the film on the big screen.

“I’m looking forward to seeing it on screen,” Claremont said. “It was fun to write, and fun to see what John Byrne and Terry Austin did, and now we get to see what it’s like on the big screen. So it will be fun.”

@Nomis

don't mean to be rude but ...

same thing that Nolan did to Bane.
same thing that Nolan did to Catwoman
same thing that Wachowscy did to V for Vendetta (still some people call this movie a masterpiece. Bullshit)

Please don't tell Singer [frick]ed up X-Men.

If you liked the movie, you can forgive the changes (you do love TDKR, don't you ? And you accept that Bane is not Bane and Catwoman is NOT Catwoman ... )

If you don't like the movie the changes will only make you more angry.

P.S.

I'm writing this quick, cause i goota go to work.
Here's hope you are following my thoughts.

P.S. If you wanna see proper DOTFP adaptation then prepare yourself to be ... kinda ... bored.

oh ... and by the way ... Claremont really liked The Wolverine. Up untill third act. Nobody liked that third act.

Aren't they almost done filming DOFP? Why would they even want Claremont if production is almost done?

all I'm trying to say is:

there are many ways to interpretate the source material.
Many people don't bother the source material.
(V for Vendetta fans)
common audience

Many people will disagree with the changes writers made
( You - whole X Men franchise, Iron man 3
Me - V for Vendetta, Spawn, Wolverine Origins, First Hellboy, Batman and Robin, Spiderman 3)


Many people will shut their eyes on the changes if they liked the movie.

You ???

Me: Batman Begins (Victor Zsash)
LOTEG
(it was kinda entertaining movie, bad - but still entertaining)

you never know in what line you gonna end.

P.S. my mistake. I wrote "I think so". I should said at the begining that i never red DOTFP storyline.

Once again, my mistake.

(shit, gotta hit myself again. HARDER !!!!)

NOTICE: There will NEVER be an exact adaptation of comic book to film.

It will NEVER happen,they are different mediums & if ya love the books,just read those.

Glad he's being consulted, but he doesn't seem too enthusiastic about it. Well, he seems to feel they'll leave him out.

I remember when Uncanny X-Men #141 came out in 1980. There was an immediate buzz from the moment it hit the stands and that it was an undisputed classic so I bought about 8 copies, one to read and the others to keep untouched and in mint condition. Just one read and I knew I had just encountered greatness not since since the Silver Age. If the likes of jerryblake don't get it then his opinion is work jack. Like saying Watchmen wasn't groundbreaking or that O'Neil and Adams added nothing to significant to Batman. Talking out of his ass.

Don't know whatever happen to all those copies of #141 though. Think my mother pulled and Aunt May on me.

oh @foom

first of all, please read the rest of my comment.
I admiited I never red it (my mistake, should said it in the begining) What i was trying to say is that the comics are different medium than movies.
If you wanna see the proper adaptation of the comic books, vide Watchmen then you must prepare yourself to get little bored at least. What works thery on comic book pages won't necessarily work good on screen. Watchmen (a groundbreaking thing, to be sure just like V for Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) is a very heavy character driven drama. Lots of talking, narration, it's a very slow read. What didn't worked well in Snyder thing was how the heavy dialogue scenes were handled. It slowed the movie first and second act, by the time the third act hited, the common audience was already off. Almost every dialogue scene was taken fully

straight from the comic book pages, no cuts.
(then they cutted down some Dr Manhattan dialogues during his part of the movie, a huge mistake because his assumptions about time, world, human nature were the heart of the story)

It's still a great movie. It could have been better though.

What leads me to V for Vendetta.
The only thing that saved this movie was James McTeigue directing style. The movie looked superb.
Somehow McTeguie pulled off what Snyder couldn't. His adaptation was fast, entertaining, the dialogue scenes were never boring. He (and his editor) somehow managed to give Moore graphic novel a proper cinema treatment.

The Wachowski siblings script was awful, pretensional, comparing it to Morre graphic novel - childish. They changed most of the story, throw away all LSD stuff, V camp scenes. They added their pseudo philosophical assuptions, which comparing them to Moore assuptions are rather bland (definitely not the same league).
It the end it looked like Moore's graphic novel was adapted by some high school kid, who red it all, but did understand only like 15% out of it.


Uffff ...

Claremont must have already forgotten the turd that is X3:'X-Men United'. A terrible telling of the Phoenix Saga and people wonder why the movies don't translate to greater comic book sales
