Gather 'round for a story...

In 1989, Carolco Pictures acquired the movie rights to the X-Men, and pitched the movie to James Cameron, who declined in favor of directing SPIDER-MAN, but volunteered to produce the movie and recommended his then wife, Kathryn Bigelow, to direct. Bigelow wrote her own draft and even approached Bob Hoskins to play Wolverine before the project was scrapped when Carolco went bankrupt during a legal battle for the Spider-Man rights, and the X-Men reverted to Marvel Enterprise.

In 1992, producer Lauren Shuller-Donner acquired the rights for 20th Century Fox, impressed with the popularity of the animated series aired on Fox Kids. Andrew Kevin Walker was tapped to write the script, which featured Wolverine being recruited by Professor Charles Xavier to help the X-Men - Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman and Angel - fight Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants, formed by Sabretooth, Toad, Blob and Juggernaut, which intended to turn New York City into a mutant homeland, and also evade the Sentinels created by the government to destroy them.

Walker's script was deemed too expensive, and Fox commissioned new drafts from multiple scribes, including Joss Whedon, John Logan, Laeta Kalogridis, John Schamus and Michael Chabon, among others, all following the basic template of Wolverine joining the X-Men and helping them save the world.

In one of the drafts, Wolverine and Kitty Pryde are recruited to replace former X-Men Mastermind, who was expelled for attempting to rape Jean. Mastermind then joins forces with Thomas Price, a mutant supremacist with the power to control metal, who is masquerading as a anti-mutant televangelist to increase tensions between the two races, to lure the X-Men into a trap, leaving up to Wolverine and Kitty to rescue them.

In this version, the X-Men are formed by Cyclops, Jean, Storm and Nightcrawler (who oddly has Beast's powers). Magneto has no affiliations with Xavier or his Holocaust survivor background, and the Brotherhood is replaced by a female superstrong enforcer, Titania, while Wolverine and Kitty are aided by former X-Men Angel, who cut off his wings and is now a happily-married father of five who lives in a farm in Iowa and joins the fight with his trusty shotgun.

In another draft, Wolverine joins alongside Jubilee, and the X-Men are formed by Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Gambit and Storm, who becomes Wolverine's love interest. The main villain is Magneto, who is also made into the creator of the Weapon-X Program and the man who bonded Wolverine's skeleton to Adamantium and erased his memories. The Brotherhood is present, consisted to Mystique, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and the Juggernaut, and the plot revolves around preventing Magneto from using the Legacy Virus to destroy the human race.

The Legacy Virus was also present in another draft, where Weapon X is created by an Illuminate-like organization, the White Farm, to create living weapons. In this version, the creators of both Adamantium and the Legacy Virus are Jubilee's parents, who are also mentors to Beast. The X-Men, here comprised of Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Storm and the aforementioned Beast, find Wolverine and Jubilee on the run from the White Farm and bring him in, unaware Wolverine is a carrier for the Virus, who spreads through the team. In this version, the X-Men are submissive to the Council of Elders, a THE MATRIX-inspired underground society that dictates the decisions of the mutant race.

With Jubilee acting as the main character, Wolverine is made into a tragic, PTSD-ridden wreck who begs to be accepted into the X-Men, to no avail, and has been brainwashed by Weapon X into loving Jubilee as a daughter.

28 drafts were submitted between 1992 and 1996.

Meanwhile, Donner and producer Tom DeSanto approached Robert Rodriguez to direct the movie, but he declined. After briefly considering Brett Ratner, they pitched the concept to Bryan Singer, who had impressed them with THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

Singer declined at first for not being interested in the superhero genre, but reconsidered after learning the thematic subtext of prejudice and acceptance, and wrote a story with DeSanto, which Ed Solomon made into a script. Fox then set a release date for Christmas Day 1998 with a $75 million budget.

Solomon's draft featured Wolverine and Rogue joining the X-Men, formed by Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Storm and Iceman, and helping them fight Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants, comprised of Sabretooth, Mystique, Toad, Pyro and Blob, who create a machine powered by Adamantium that they intend to use to turn the world leaders into mutants.

Singer approached Russell Crowe to play Wolverine, but he declined when his salary demands were not met, and recommended his friend Hugh Jackman. However, the studio passed on him, favoring Gary Sinise and Dougray Scott, with the latter winning the role after being slated to become the breakout star of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2.

Patrick Stewart readily accepted to play Professor Charles Xavier, while Vince Vaughn, Julianne Moore, Angela Basset, Sarah Michelle Geller and Terrence Stamp were approached to play Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Rogue and Magneto, but all declined, with Jim Caviezel, Famke Jenssen, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin and Ian McKellen being cast instead. Natalie Portman was also considered for the role of Storm, while Jeri Ryan was considered for Mystique before Rebecca Romjin was cast. Tyler Mane and Ray Park were then cast as Sabretooth and Toad.

Also, Crowe wanted Wolverine to be bald. For reasons.

During pre-production, the movie went overbudget, and the release date had to be postponed to summer 2000 while David Hayter and Christopher McQuarrie were brought in for rewrites to scale down the scope, removing not only Beast, Blob and Pyro and reducing Iceman's role, but also a lenghty sequence at the Danger Room.

The delay led to scheduling conflicts that forced both Scott and Caviezel to leave the project, and Jackman and James Marsden were brought in at the last second to replace them.

The shooting of X-MEN was fraught with problems, partially due to the studio's lack of confidence in the property due to failure of previous superhero movies in the 1990's, and fan backlash over what they believed was a poor adaptation.

Quoted By:

One of Singer's most controversial decisions was replacing the colorful superhero suits from the comics for black leather uniforms, which he believed were more realistic and fitting with what is basically a paramilitary group. To add assault to injury, pre-treatment publicity photos from a photoshoot were leaked, leading to FANT4STIC-level backlash that was only subsided when the first trailer was released.

Prior to release, they cut several scenes to shave down the running time to 104 minutes to cover their losses by allowing more screenings per day. However, to their surprise, X-MEN went on to no only become a box office hit, grossing $293 million worldwide, but also be acclaimed by professional critics for its mature script, acting and tone. Along with Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN and Stephen Norrington's BLADE, it is credited for reviving the superhero genre.

A sequel was immediatelly greenlit for November 2002.

Singer had decided not to read the comics in preparation for X-MEN, but changed his mind for the sequel, and rejected Fox's plans for the Legacy Virus storyline in favor of an adaptation of the acclaimed "God Loves, Man Kills" storyline, believing it built upon the themes of the previous movie. Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn wrote two different drafts, which werelater combined by Singer and Hayter into a new draft, then revised by Singer, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris. Elements of the "Weapon X" storyline were also added to advance Wolverine's character arc.

FUN FACT: Marvel only released the ORIGIN mini-series to prevent the movies from presenting their own version of Wolverine's backstory... Which they tried to do later anyway.

Also, if you watch closely, you can see that, as far as X-MEN is concerned, the claws were surgically implanted and don't actually come out of his skeleton.

But once again production went overbudget, requiring these elements to be cut. Singer then added Lady Deathstrike to the narrative as Stryker's enforcer, replacing Anne Reynolds, Stryker's assistant in the comics, so the movie would have an additional action scene in the third act. Toad nearly made it to the movie, where he would have a fight against Nightcrawler.

The entire X-MEN cast returned, but Singer clashed with Halle Berry, who demanded a larger role. Further rewrites made her the team's pilot and added a romantic subplot between her and Nightcrawler.

Anthony Hopkins and Steve Buscemi were Singer's first choices for Stryker and Nightcrawler, respectively, but both declined, and Brian Cox was then cast as Stryker, while Ethan Embry and Neil Patrick Harris auditioned for Nightcrawler before Alan Cummings was cast. Kelly Hu and Aaron Stamford rounded up the cast as Lady Deathstrike and Pyro.

Singer, Dougherty and Harris wrote a preliminary draft for X-MEN 3, in which Jean returns as the Phoenix and decides to end the conflict between humans and mutants in her own terms, while the X-Men attempt to protect her from the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Their plan was to focus on Cyclops and Wolverine putting their differences aside to help Jean and earning each other's respects, and would have introduced three new characters: Emma Frost, an old flame of Xavier who can control people's emotions and is recruited by Magneto to brainwash Jean into joining their cause; Gambit, a young thief who joins the Brotherhood, but ultimately switches sides to the X-Men due to his attraction to Rogue; and the Juggernaut, Magneto's new enforcer.

Singer had even approached Sigourney Weaver and Channing Tatum to play Frost and Gambit, respectively, but fate had other plans...

Singer proposed to return to X-MEN 3 after completing the movie, but Fox decided to move forward without him and scheduled X-MEN 3 for May 2006, one month before SUPERMAN RETURNS. Kinberg and Penn were then brought back to write the script, using some of Singer's ideas and adding the mutant cure storyline to the narrative to give Magneto a stronger motivation to declare war on Humanity. They also decided to include Beast and Angel in the movie and give larger roles to Kitty Pryde and Colossus.

Although Fox proposed to have Cyclops die off-screen in-between movies, Marsden returned for a brief appearance, in which Cyclops is killed by the Phoenix, which Kinberg and Penn believed was important to her character arc. Mystique, on the other hand, was cured and later betrayed Magneto to the U.S. government. Although there were plans for her betrayal to be part of his plan all along, and for her to be reunited with him in the end, she was unavailable and the concept was scrapped.

Halle Berry demanded a larger role. More characters were added, including Moira McTaggert, Bolivar Trask, Multiple-Man and the Morlocks. Entire subplots were added and then scrapped. Alan Cummings even declined to return and undergo the long make-up process given how little Nightcrawler would have done, and the character was removed. Ratner and the writers also decided to kill Xavier as the movie's dramatic turning point.

At the time, producers justified Nightcrawler's absence by saying the audience wouldn't be able to follow a movie with three blue characters.

Benioff's draft centered on Wolverine's impoverished childhood in the 1950's, him joining the Army and serving under William Stryker in the Vietnam War, and attempting to leave the past behind to build a new life with Kayla Silverfox, only for her to be murdered by Sabretooth, prompting Wolverine to volunteer to the Weapon X Program to hunt him down.

Sheldon's draft centered on Magneto searching for revenge against the Nazi scientist who experimented on him at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp and befriending Charles Xavier, a soldier who helps him uncover a conspiracy masterminded by the government to use mutants as weapons.

Both scripts built up to the formation of the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants, and Jackman was set to return for WOLVERINE, while Stewart and McKellen were in negotiations to appear in the prologue and epilogue of MAGNETO.

Skip Woods was called to revise Benioff's script, using Marvel's mandated backstory for Wolverine and adding more mutants to attract the public, including Gambit and Deadpool, tentatively to launch their own spin-offs. In Benioff's draft, Weapon XI is an army of clones of Sabretooth engineered as living weapons against mutants. Woods' version changed this to Stryker turning military officer Garrison Kane into a human weapon with the powers of several mutants.

Hood notoriously clashed with Rothman over their views on the project. Hood wanted a somber, grittier movie centered on Wolverine struggling with his inner demons, while Rothman wanted a more conventional summer action blockbuster. Rothman even remodeled the entire Weapon X facility sets to look "cleaner" and "brighther", with more vibrant colors, while Hood was on a three weeks leave. Hood very nearly dropped out of the project, and Fox had already lined up a last-minute replacement to come in should he do it, but Jackman managed to convince Hood to stay.

Liev Schreiber and Michelle Monaghan were hired to play William Stryker and Kayla Silverfox, while Gerard Butler was approached to play Sabretooth. When he declined, Jackman convinced the studio that Schreiber could get in proper shape to play Sabretooth, and he was given the role, with Danny Huston replacing him as Stryker. Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Kitsch joined in as Deadpool and Gambit, while Scott Adkins was cast as Kane. Monaghan later dropped out and was replaced by Lynn Collins. The studio later decided to merge Deadpool and Weapon XI into one character and called in Reynolds to reshoot Adkins' scenes, with Adkins remaining as his stuntman.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS was originally envisioned as a reboot, but the studio preferred viewing it as a revamp, that, while functioning as a prequel to the X-MEN trilogy, could contradict certain events established in those movies.

The movie was released in May 2011 and was well-received by critics, revitalizing interest in the franchise, in addition to being a moderate box-office success for its budget, grossing $353 million worldwide, and motivating Fox to greenlight a sequel with Vaughn directing and writing alongside Goldman.

So yes, while he is responsible for many movies, including all their financial and critical movies for Fox from 2000-2012 (During this time, the studio was nominated for over 150 Academy Awards, won three Best Picture Oscars, earned over $30 billion in worldwide box office sales.[10][15][17] Fox had the best profit margins of any film studio.[6] Some of the films produced over Rothman's tenure include: Lincoln, Life of Pi, The Descendants, Cast Away, Master and Commander, Black Swan, Walk the Line, Juno, The Devil Wears Prada, The X-Men series, the Ice Age series, Rio, and several others.[19] Under Rothman’s leadership, Fox produced Modern Family, Glee, and Homeland.) I don't know if his strengths play well to what Marvel wants.

Feige and Amy Pascal will be the adjectiveless producers and other Sony guys will be executive producer level. We'll see how well Feige works at Sony under those conditions.

Marvel works closely with Fox and Sony. Marvel didn't just give them the license and fuck off, these things are worked out still. Fox can't just use characters in name only. They couldn't have say for example, Scarlet Witch appear and then her powers are the same as magnetos UNLESS marvel says its ok. They let fox tweak some characters, but most of them aren't iconic title characters.

Marvel worked with people on ASM2. Sony still got final say, and they still adapted things and didnt break license agreements. Doing something like Harry becoming The Vulture may fall into the realm of something marvel would veto. Making a movie that sucks, marvel has no say over.

Although Singer is not yet confirmed for the 2018 X-MEN movie (He's going to tackle 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA first, which is actually deserving of its own SCRIPT TO SCREEN), he'll most likely be there when the cameras start rolling, and has even mentioned he'd be fine with being X-Men's "Director Eternal".

And with the recent confirmation X-MEN: APOCALYPSE sets the mood for a new, more comics-accurate, space-throttling adaptation of the Dark Phoenix Saga, I guess the future for these movies never looked so bright as they do right now.

Honestly, Marvel is the only studio with a consistent quality track record. X-Men and X2 were solid, then Fox kind of went off the deep end for a decade. WB is just kind of hit and miss. It seems like the one franchise they can consistently do well is Batman (5 out of 7 successes isn't bad, and even the other two were at least commercially viable.) Their track record lately has been kinda bad, though - The Losers, Jonah Hex, Green Lantern, Man of Steel. There's also Columbia Pictures, which does weirdly okay* with the Spider-Man movies, but needs to hire better security to keep Nicholas Cage from riding motorcycles through their lots.

*The Spider-Man movies have always been kind of strange creatures to me- the Maguire trilogy was very much a result of the time it was made, and it suffers in rewatchability because of it. (Cartoonish acting, obviously low-rent sets mixed with oddly high-quality sets, smash reaction shots, etc.) The Garfield reboot, on the other hand, didn't have the greatest villains and suffered a bit too much from tentpole syndrome. Both movies had their charms, though - the Maguire movies were camp, which has oddly lasting appeal, and the Garfield movies had some solid casting that made them enjoyable despite formulaic plotting.

Plus, the Spider-Man movies introduced us to the premise that we as a society just need to pay J.K. Simmons to yell at things.

And look at how shit they all were. A lot of blockbuster adaptations go through this, and you can see how absolutely disastrous most of the drafts are. Spider-Man went through the same troubles, with various drafts including:

- Lab worker Peter Parker literally turning into a spider hybrid creature akin to Cronenberg's The Fly and having to fight other animal mutants in an area (this was reportedly due to Cannon Films, the rights holders at the time, being unaware of what Spider-Man was actually about)
- Electro portrayed as millionaire Carlton Strand, who wants to create an army of mutants with himself, Spider-Man, and Sandman (who's also given a totally different real name that I'm forgetting)
- Raimis Spider-Man 4, which would have had the Vulture and also his daughter The Vulturess - though she's named Felicia Hardy

What are some other unproduced films that you think would be fascinating? It's scary to think about the road less traveled. My personal list includes:

>David S. Goyer's Venom standalone movie, which was to be produced by New Line Cinema. Since they didn't have the rights to Spider-Man, they had an all new origin without any mention of Spidey. I never read the script, but I vaguely recall hearing something about Venom getting his spider powers from having been on an alien spider planet or something. Carnage was set as the villain.

>The Wachowskis' Plastic Man, which had a script full of amazing shape-shifting fights that CGI in 1995 definitely couldn't create. Imagine a world where Plas was as well known to the public as Superman and The Flash.

>Stephen Norrington's Ghost Rider, which was supposed to be his followup to Blade and was a hard-R rated thriller.

>Vincenzo Natali's Swamp Thing. I read the script and it was dynamite.

>George Miller's Justice League Mortal

>John August's Shazam

No it didn't. T3 was a huge bomb and basically killed the franchise (in part because Arnold got 20% of the gross direct). Neither of the previous movies was particularly successful compared to other sci-fi franchises, they just had lower budgets.

It's about the return on investment, not the overall spend or gross.

Normal. For all movies.

Some are changed for legal reasons, some because something similar is already out, some to placate the studio/test audience/other vested interest. Sometimes you write a new draft for each star that paints them in the largest role just to get them to sign.

Mostly you just keep tinkering until your budget is met and the thing isn't total shit.

Singer walked out and expected FOX to move the release date, which might not have been so bad if the movies were making a lot more than they were costing the studio, and might even have been acceptable if he hadn't been going to a rival studio to direct what was expected to be the start of a rival superhero franchise.

You wouldn't expect to walk out on your job for another job at a rival firm and then be allowed back if that didn't work out for you. Especially if everything you did after that other job didn't work out also didn't really work out.

Fortunately for Singer, FOX's management don't give a shit about incompetence in the workplace or corporate governance, as long as daddy's happy.

Singer left and took Marsden with him, and Fox was PISSED at both of them. Then Returns was a gigantic disappointment and Singer walked away from big Hollywood productions for a few years. He made Valkyrie and then farted out Jack The Giant Slayer, which probably brought him back to the X-Men franchise considering that was a walking punchline of a movie.

Marsden basically became a comedic character actor after the X-Men franchise, which was the best thing for him. He's never been much good in dramatic roles but he's got killer comedic timing.

Latex, which is the basis of her costume, is a sensitizing agent. That means each time you're exposed to it, it provokes an immune response (production of leukocytes and others). But each subsequent exposure produces a stronger reaction, so that eventually even very small amounts will send you into full-blown anaphylaxis.

People usually develop strong reactions after a couple of years of using latex gloves in medical or kitchen work; that's a daily, short-term exposure over a very small area of the body.

Larger exposure area and longer constant exposure (as in a 4-5 hour makeup session to apply it, then a 12+ hour filming day to make the most of that makeup session) will provoke that response that much faster, leading to a much swifter sensitization. It's an occupational hazard, in other words, that if left unmanaged can easily kill the individual or leave them permanently scarred or disabled. The alternatives are greasepaint (which has limitations, but is largely safe even long term) or full-digital, which FOX would never spring for because they're cheap.

>>79511079
The fact that he was clearly going to a rival studio to take on a directly competing franchise was what pissed them off. That, and they were already well into preproduction when he decided to walk - X3 is often said to be Brett Ratner's baby, but he was working with the production work Singer put together. There simply wasn't time for him to have done a great deal to change it, and whether FOX had announced a release date or not they certainly knew (and Singer certainly knew) when they wanted to release.

Her Mystique is/was complete and utter shit and shares nothing with the character other than the name, since she's not even blue most of the time now. Which is ridiculous when you consider the fact that her predecessor ( who was a model ) made a better job delivering her lines than her.

Also the Xmen has always been an ensemble movie and it's time for the new kids to step up.

oh, so it was supposed to be Polaris?

That's why Vaughn said at the time that they would introduce one character, saying "he... or she". Good times.

That's all I wanted :'(

Still waiting on Toad.

Toad had a cameo in DoFP and I think his actor is going to show up a few more times. I don't think he even has any lines but maybe he will have a small role in the next movie, seeing how this is an origin for this version of Brotherhood.
We're not going to get Pyro though. Avalanche, maybe?

Someone should do a comics to screen about George Milliars justice League mortal. The backround of that movie is crazy. And the script sounds a lot better than any of the flicks DC is putting out right now

If they had that last movie would have stuck around $400m like all the rest. Without her and Jackman, they're pretty much fucked unless a wild breakout star appears, and they don't really have anybody like that under contract.

They'd much rather keep her, but of course they can't afford her now that her original contract is up. Good for her, these movies are terrible.

No, he's right. X-Men 1 was good for comic book movies at the time (mainly because everyone's expectations were so low after Batman and Robin), but has aged horribly. It's a very mediocre film, in hindsight. Pretty much like Spider-Man 1.

It happens to many many actors. I wouldn't want that shit all over my body that often. Screen print a lycra suit, touch up that shit in post, it's got to be similar in cost these days anyway.
