James McTeigue is NOT Co-Directing X-Men Origins: Magneto

SO THERE NO MAGNETO MOVIE?

DO. NOT. WANT.

His origins can be done and over with in the first 20mins of First Class - they're definitely not interesting enough for a solo movie anyway!!!

why don't they just keep making the x-men movies this is bull *****

What AXL said!! ; )

MAGNETO is something different, for a start its a Supervillain movie, i hope we get a DOOM movie too if this does good! MAGNETO is a complex character anyone who dont want this probaby wants a brain-dead ackles bobbin G*Y movie instead lol. A comic book movie where you actually use your brain is well needed!!

i SAY yAY to his movie!!! MAGNETO'S A MUST!

CLIVE OWEN is MAGS!!! : )

BREAKING NEWS! Fox have released this exclusive preview of their Magneto movie! ;)



(Hell, this is probably better than what Fox will come up with anyway!)

Heh heh lol @ JOSH!! : D

Thats JUGGER-CAT!!! : D

can someone give me a text tutorial on how to write articles

FOX don't know what they're doing. L.S. Donner doesn't know what she's doing. Those people who have the most creative control don't know what it means to "stick to the source material". They just figure that saying those words gets a positive reaction. They are like that kiss ass retard who has a list of "power words" in his day book to impress anyone who will hear their bullshit, yet they themselves have no [frick]ing idea what those words mean.

Magneto could be a great story, there have been a few in the comics that would make a good fantasy-drama. Exploring how he ultimately becomes like those who persecuted him during the war. But can FOX and Donner handle anything that offers the potential for depth and real character study? If XO:Wolverine is any example, than, hell no.

The only reason I wouldn't want to see a Magneto film is because the studio doing it doesn't know how to make a comic book movie. If Singer was on board, then the idea has a life line because let's face it, Singer is the only director who has shown he can run the Donner/FOX gauntlet and come out the other side with a good X-film.

A few points to raise here...

1) This article has quoted the original source wrong. It's not 'until [Hood] drops out', it means until Goyer drops out. Goyer rewrote the Magneto screenplay and is also the director. What McTeigue is saying is that he would love to do it IF Goyer drops out. Hood has also expressed an interest.

2) I've got the Magneto script and it's pretty good. There are not dozens of cameos in it. I actually thought it could do with one or two more characters - like adding in Mystique as the wartime spy she was in the comics. There is no Quicksilver and no Scarlet Witch in it either. That's partly because Marvel retains the rights to Witch, they are not at Fox.

3) Wolverine was not that bad. It was all the fanboys like you lot on here that wanted Gambit etc, added to the story, so quit whining. It's like a meeting of the Never Satisified Society. And what happened to Wade Wilson is just the origin of the character, at least it explains his name as being a 'dead pool' of other people's powers, as was stated in the movie. Doesn't mean he will keep the powers.I thought he had a pretty good introduction.

4) Someone on this site, i think it's LEEE, keeps stealing my Captain America manips off my Geek Files blog, so please STOP DOING IT unless you give me a credit as the source. Pinching other people's work is not on. If you carry on, I'll beat the livin' crap out of ya, okay!?

I know a lot of stuff, and a lot of people in the industry...so ask whatever questions you want and I'll try to answer...

@ Teabag...lol...err...dunno
@ joshw24...No, it's the David Goyer rewrite I have here and I'm not David Goyer. I got my hands on it, I'm not allowed to describe the whole story of what's in there, Fox has jumped on me once for that already...

Magneto movie could work if they get McKellen for a bookending voiceover, and good actors for young Xavier and young Magneto...and a decent director. The script is pretty good, just a few things need fixing and I 'm gonna try to let them know about those!

TheGeekFiles: Ok, fair enough! But how did you get it, lol!?!

correct, CorndogBurgler.

Ninja Assasin is an upcoming martial arts action thriller.

I usually avoid those, but I keep seeing the previews and it's making me incredibly curious.

Hey WeaponX...didn't your mommy teach you that using the word retard is just so wrong. Besides hurting people with special needs, it's best left when you're hanging with your other friends from 7th grade.

@JOSHW24

I'm honestly sick of debating the "should they or shouldn't they" with this movie; however, using the wiki reference is a bit of a low blow.

Anyone can sum up any movie in a paragraph or two, here is Batman Begins:

Bruce Wayne's parents die...he feels guilty. One day he falls into a batcave and develops a phobia. Years later he decides he wants to continue his parents legacy and clean up Gotham. He learns how criminals think, and is instructed by an expert martial artist. Later, his sensei comes to Gotham to destroy it. Batman stops him, the end.


Just because MAGNETOS' origins have been relagated to a few paragraphs on wiki, doesn't mean there isn't enough material for a film......and look at it this way, the less there is on paper, the less they have to screw with!!!


Why some of you don't wan't to see TWO OF THE MOST POWERFUL MUTANTS ON THE PLANET come into their powers is beyond me, but seriously........enough with the "there isn't enough material" bullsh!t already.

i cant belive you guys wouldnt want a magneto film (hes my favourite character you see) i know the whole holocast thing would get really old really, so instead what they could do is create a completly unique film for the character.

(my idea for example would be) the film is set in the 90's and magneto and prof x are charity workers while magneto is looking for a powerfull mutant in rawanda, he has just finished killing ex nazis who are working with the US. in rawanda he protects the mutant tusi child from the rawandan military, flash backs occur throughout the film of his time in germany. he finds out that a powerful ex nazi mutant is the military captain searching for the child (the captain and him have a lot of history, he experimented on magneto and taugt him to control his powers). magneto battles him and the army and kills a LOT of people including the captain then he returns to america with the child. please tell me what you think of my very simple idea
