Brett Ratner Talks X-Men The Last Stand Script Changes and X-Men 4

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:05, 3 April 2006 / General Genre/SciFi

The latest issue of Starlog Magazine, just out in the US, features an exclusive interview with X-Men The Last Stand director Brett Ratner. Here are few excerpts.


Brett Ratner on continuity: "I'm trying to stay as true as I can to the core audience. The difference between the first two X-Men and this movie is, this is a darker film and that's because of the source material. The Dark Phoenix plotline is, well, dark."

Ratner on the final act: "I had to completely change the third act. The new conclusion is probably more expensive."

Ratner on the Sentinels: "I've been able to put stuff in this movie which, for some reason, Bryan [Singer] wasn't. The Danger Room, the Fastball Special, and also the Sentinels -- it's really hard to make a robot a character. All these things weren't in the script until I introduced them."

Ratner of Colossus: "Colossus has more of a part in X-Men: The Last Stand. We'll see him transform a lot; it's just really expensive."

Ratner on X-Men 4:
Many seeds are planted in this [X3] picture, but I haven't been hired to direct the fourth one. When it [X3] comes out, it'll be the determining factor."

More from Ratner can be found at XMenFilms.net

I wonder if I am the only one who thinks this movie will be fine?

I am not going to flat out say right here that this movie is going to best the Singer movies, but I am willing to consider the POSSIBILITY that Ratner is the perfect person to direct this film. Just as much as other people are convinced that he is the worst director imaginable for this project.

It's time to separate the weak from the chafed, the men from the boys, the awkwardly feminine from the possibly Canadian.

I.e. if it does good bank, the studio may be up for another go round. What I've suspected all along.
