Magneto Movie Update!

Well, you said it jman, if it's done right, it'll be awesome. We'll have to wait & see. :)

Goyer was the ONLY reason why Blade Tinity SUCKED. So i don't concider him a "good" thing to have on board as long as:

1- He doesn't direct
2- Hands his writing to a true writer to "polish"
3- He doesn't direct

Oh and Ed Harris for Magneto in First Class as Xavier's school's head master!!!

I really wouldnt bother to go and see this. We've already had Magneto for 3 movies and his origins arent even that interesting! If they're that desperate to show us his origins then do it in the first 15mins of First Class - thats all the time they'd need rather than stretchng it out and [frick]ing it up!!!

HOUSE OF M ROCKS!

if they were to do a magneto movie, i would not know how they would do it.
the film would have to be a period piece like the upcoming captain america.
i have read that the writers were going for the 1960's. a time when magneto wasn't magneto but he has better mastery over his powers.
the film would also explore his relationship with charles xavier and how it ended.

unfortunately, i have no idea about the casting.
@shaman ed harris is a great actor and could probably show magneto's erratic and misguided behavior but i fear he may be too old for the role.
and as for who would play the prof.......
anyone's guess is as good as mine.

blee947 - "if they do it right it will be good" that pisses me off too. If any film is done right it will be good! If it's done wrong then those responsible should be sacked! And most of all, if there's any potential movie you can't say that about it shouldn't be done!

Howlett04 & Wadey09- Going by the already established continuity in the X-Films, Magneto would be in his 50ies while being head master at Xavier's institute. Ed Harris would be wrong for an origin film but not a First Class film. And McKellen did not a have a british accent in the movies so i don't think a brit would fit. I like Brosnan but there's no way he can compete with Harris's fierceness! We need General Hummel on this ASAP!!!

My take on David Goyer...

Great writer, case in point, when he wrote the script for the first two Blade movies, and co-wrote it with Nolan on Batman Begins and Dark Knight.

However, when he takes on the reigns of add responsibility as director, he is not. When he took on Blade Trinity, it wasn't his, it was a rehash of Blade and Blade 2.

But then again, Goyer also wrote the script for Crow 2: City of Angels, and that is the type of movie that I call only watchable because of the kick ass soundtrack, otherwise it totally sucked balls. It was a crow styled music video...nothing more, and I hated the constant yellow and black color that it remained in the entire movie.

The Unborn for the most part sucked, as it seems like Goyer rehashes what he already knows.

He needs to just stick to writing and stay out of the director's chair.

SHAMAN-

I'm diggin your pick, but like you said, HARRIS would be great for 1st class, but couldn't work for the ORIGINS.



What's everyone cryin about??? MAGNETO absolutely has enough material for an ORIGINS movie! I would love to see him and Charles (two of the most powerful mutants in the universe) come into their powers and flex a lil muscle. I've pretty much laid out MAGNETO'S origins on here before and i'm not about to do it again just cuz most of you are talkin out of your @ss......just know that your a moron if you don't think there is enough material.

Just cuz you want to see different characters.....hmph, wah wah wah, cry me a river.

Amen shibazz.

I've always disagreed with the Mag-nee-to pronunciation. He is the master of magnetism so his name should be pronounced Mag-net-o.

It's some gay ass Stan Lee thing. Magneto is named after some wwII bomber instrument or something. He should have realized that Mag-net-o sounds alot better.

@MovieTheaterLad- Nice pics, I can Definitely see this man as Magneto!

I don't understand Why they want to do a first class and Magneto Origin. Couldn't they combine both. It's like they want to reboot the first x-men into two movies. I say skip both ideas and just do a story about Apacolypse. I like the title APACOLYPSE- THE FIRST & THE LAST.

There has to be a better way of showing Magneto's powers than how it's been done so far.. including how he flies.. Its been pretty corny so far.

I'm looking forward to a Magneto film.. He is the best.. Especially if they centre it around his epic journey with Professor X!
