the dream *may* become reality: There will be an X-Men movie [this may be old news to some, breaking news to others, and a complete bore to RW]

after months, years of fan speculation, "dream teams" and rumors, details have been released: Backed by 20th Century Fox, the director is Bryan Singer [of "The Usual Suspects."]

signed so far:
Patrick Stewart = Professor Charles Xavier, wheelchair-bound psychic and technical genius, founder of the X Men

Ian McKellan = Magneto, high-powered supervillain with electromagnetic powers, and kin of Prof X

Dougray Scott = Wolverine [cult hero] super-violent Canadian berserker with animal sense of smell, indestructable skeleton, and razorsharp fore-arm blades

Halle Berry = Storm, 'Mistress of the Elements'

Anna Paquin = Rogue, twenty-something Southern gal who can absorb strength and memories from others...but can't associate with ordinary people without hurting them

Rebecca Romijn-Stamos = Mystique, shapeshifting villainess

Tyler Mane = Sabertooth, Wolverine's arch-enemy, savage berserker

Still uncast are Cyclops and psychic Jean Grey (allegedly tried for by a certain ex-Borg blonde we all know.)

The teaser poster shows Wolverine's trademark blades crossed in an X

YES!

Tsk tsk, Xentrick. Not only have the cast been picked, they've already begun filming some of the scenes.

Uh...I couldn't tell you who Cyclops is, but Jean Grey is being played by one Famke...Johnson? Jenn...son? That evil Bond lady.

Ray Park? Cool!!!! I'd rather have him play Wolverine, but oh well. And who, or what, is Toad?

And according to the info, Dougray Scott is not Wolverine anymore. Who is Hugh Jackman?

Full of questions, aren't you?

The Toad is a rather pitiable character from way back when. Original member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, etc.

Kinda like Igor, actually. Crawls around on all four and giggles. But he can sure jump.
Actually, I think Ray Park should've been Quicksilver, Magneto's son.
Besides them both being blonde, (well QS is gray-haired, like his old man) they're both skilled in martial arts. Plus, QS is in a tough spot, on the one hand trying to do good deeds by his moral standards, and on the other hand wants to please his father. Magneto being a supervillain, Quicksilver is put in a position where he sometimes must make decisions he might regret. Kinda like a Jedi whose path isn't chosen. Dark Jedi or...um...bright?

Christ in a bottle, but I thought that the cast list whose URL is posted above said that Michael Marsedn was playign Cyclops!
I nearly had a turn until I realised my error.
Thankfully.

Actually, I can't wait to see Ian McKellan as Magneto. He's a great actor.
Now there's TWO Shakespearean actors in the film, and Bryan Singer directing (which I didn't know). Things may be looking up.

Would be nice to see Prof X and Magneto quoting Shakespeare during one of their battles. Harkens back to Kirk vs Chang.
