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."

me too, I hope it's a good movie. Ratner has made me nervous as a choice but I'm always ready and willing to be proven wrong. I want this to be a good movie and I want there to be more X-Men movies. Spin-off movies and franchises are fine, but I hope this isn't the last X.
