Famke Janssen On X-MEN Movies; Reveals Details Of Her Appearance In THE WOLVERINE

I think she's just talking about the First Class actors!

I used to think she was so hot, but for some odd reason seeing her in Nip Tuck killed all that for me. I just cant look at her the same way.

@Ruin I feel the same... Nip Tuck change all.

@ParisSun

This, please! I'd love it if DOFP was like, a really nice conclusion to the whole thing, being that it features pretty much everyone!

She's from Holland you know, as am I.

I first saw X-Men in Amsterdam at the Dutch premiere - and got to not-really-meet her (I stood nearby as she was getting her photo taken). She's utterly stunning in the flesh.

Classy lady.

@FIRG:
Based on that type of thinking you wouldn't mind if Dame Judy Dench played Jean Grey?

How about Denzel Washington to play Superman in MoS?

Casting calls make mention of certain qualities, features, age and height. Stop being naive. I'm sure you wouldn't mind if Kitty Pryde was played by Rebel Wilson and Cyclops was played by Nick Nolte. Stop being so PC.

Pretty sure no one thought this franchise would still have Legs back in 2000. The only movie prior was Blade and that was successful. I know I thought the series was DEAD after Ratner's crapfest X3. Who cares how old she is and if she is in another movie or so, she looks good still and can act, her Phoenix character was written pretty poorly in X3. This will eventually get rebooted, Jackman can keep playing Logan as far as I'm concerned but it'll get re-done soon

Whedon would have owned the Xmen films. Singer's Xmen movies are nowhere near as good as you think they are. I'm not going to give him credit for doing a good Xmen when Xmen movies should be inherently great.

Whedon would have known to make Cyclops the leader and not make Rogue into a Kitty Pryde/Jubilee clone. He would have known better not to cast Halle Berry with a fake accent. He would have know better than to hire a 35 year old woman who looks 40 to play Jean Grey.

Maybe a near 50 year old 6ft tall chick does it for you cougar chasers.

what happens in JUly??

@ParisSun

She's almost 50 yes, but still looks AMAZING. And she definitely did NOT look 40 in the X-Men movies... no one agrees with you.

Here is her in this year's HEMLOCK GROVE

I can't get enough of Famke Janssen,
she will always be my favourite CBM actress. She's drop dead gorgeous, still looks amazing even at 50 and I loved her as Jean Grey.

She needs to reappear in DOFP.

@thewonderer, You're a smart man my friend.

again another thread where someone actually lists First Class as an example of a good X-Men movie....
I don't remember which of the original 5 students were the Hispanic daughter of Jeff Goldblum's Fly character found in a strip club ?

Ugh, I hope they don't retcon an affair in

Well here's hoping Days of Future Past at least features Bishop, Forge and something other than leather zip up suits.

Ok, first of all, without the first two Xmen films, which WERE great, we wouldn't have nearly as many good comic films as we have. They arguably started the "dark and gritty" trend, and also reinvigorated the potential for CBM's in the box office far more than Blade did.

Also, whoever said the bit about the difference between a good film and a faithful film is dead on. Half of you hated Watchmen for some stupid reason, and that was the most faithful CBM to date. Then you praise Dark Knight Rises when it all but completely butchered the character of Batman. But everytime one of you idiots makes a whiney fanboy complaint about Xmen it has to do with the character and casting choices being completely different from the comics. Who cares?! They were great movies despite this, just like many other CBM's where backstory and characters were changed. You guys saw IM3 right? Jesus tap dancing Christ, that movie is possibly the most unfaithful comic adaptation side Batman & Robin, but half of you are praising it. You're double standards and hypocracy is giving me cancer.

Keep in mind that these movies are "adaptations". Not direct translations. They are made to not only appeal to us, but the hundreds of thousands of millions of casual movie goers who don't know anything about the comics. That's why directors and writers take liberties. They are trying to craft a story in 2 hours when you guys want 40 years of continuity fit in to one damn film. convoluted continuity by the way. No comic has a flawless track record of staying in line with their own continuity. First Class was a great movie on its own merit, and as it was making an attempt to loosely fit in with the movies that came before it, they couldn't use the original characters from the comic. They did great with the characters they used. Except fly girl. She sucked.

i agree with parissun, i wont break down the arguement word for word.

his initial arguement was if a studio is going to plan to make multiple movies why cast a person that is getting older NOTICABLEY i might add, there are a few supporting posts on here, somewhere in between the war of words that got lost.

other than cyclops beast nightcrawlerand that dude that played colossus the rest of cast was casted wrong.

but hindsight is 20/20

so tired of the X-Men movies....I wish MARVEL would get their hands on the franchise and make some decent movies
