X-Men Spinoffs
New Details on the X-Men Spinoffs
Source: USA Today June 1, 2006 USA Today has published an update on the various "X-Men" spinoffs in the works, including Wolverine, Magneto, one on the kids and another on Emma Frost. The newspaper's scoop: The first spinoff will be Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. His character has an as-yet-unrevealed back story in which researchers replaced his original bones with a metal skeleton. Jackman has signed on to star and co-produce, and X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner says it will likely head into production next year. "We've also talked about doing something on the kids in (Professor X's) school, focusing on their lives, and less of a global adventure for the team," says Hutch Parker, production president of 20th Century Fox. The studio is also exploring a movie with Three Kings director David O. Russell based on the character of Emma Frost, a sexy mutant telepath who can transform her skin into diamonds. She is an X-Men comics regular but was not featured in the movies. Another likely solo project: Magneto, also in the script phase. The film will focus on his youthful pre-villain days, Shuler Donner says. Though it would require a younger actor for those sequences, she says the film would need Ian McKellen to anchor the flashbacks. "What's a Magneto movie without Ian?" she asks. We'll be following all the projects closely.

Shuler Donner on X-Men 4 and More
Source: LA Daily News August 14, 2006 "X-Men" executive producer Lauren Shuler Donner talked to LA Daily News about X-Men 4, for which they would have to renegotiate with the bigger stars, and also Wolverine and Magneto: "The newer cast members are signed, and the older cast members are not." Considering the older names involved -- Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Romijn, Famke Janssen and Anna Paquin -- that could run into a huge chunk of money. All that's putting the cart before the wolverine, of course, since Hugh Jackman is set to reprise his role as the manicure-challenged mutant superhero in his own film. "Next, we're going to do 'Wolverine,' but not before the end of the year because he's in the Baz Luhrmann film," she says of the filmmaker's untitled Australian epic with Nicole Kidman. However, "We have the script and are working on it." Shuler Donner reports, "We also have 'Young Magneto' in development." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Considering how bad X3 was I'm not too exicted about this news.

There are plenty of characters from the series that would make interesting movies. Why not? They made Electra....
Not to mention characters that didnt make it into the movies. Deadpool would make a great movie. Colossus is pretty deep. Nightcrawler. Hell, i would be first inline for a psylocke movie.

yeah, i meant they bothered to take a spinoff from a far less popular character, and a much worse movie and make a movie out of it...
The least they could do is explore some of the more interesting characters.
