Wolverine is coming
Galileu [Ren’s note: a scientific periodical, how odd] went to X-Men 3 filmings in Canada and tells us secrets if the movie, which will be released in May 2006.
In a rich suburb of Vancouver, Canada, the mutant Wolverine is lying on a sidewalk, with his indestructible body covered by debris. The hero tries to get up, but is violently thrown through a window by one of his enemies - the huge Juggernaut, a disciple of the villain Magneto.
Applause and cheers congratulating the stuntsmen finish the scene. We are in the set of X-Men 3, one of the most succesful series of comic books based movies Holywood has ever produced. The atmosphere is that of a superproduction: besides Wolverine, who “flew” through the window, other three walk among the 250 people who work there: other two stuntsmen and the australian star Hugh Jackman. Galileu was the only brazillian media vehicle invited to watch the filming of the movie.
Despite the visit of the 12 reporters from all over the world, the order in the set was to keep things secret. Since the movie will only be released in May 2006, releasing information about the plot could spoil a lot of surprises. But collective interviews with the producers, the director Brett Ratner and stars like Halle Berry, Famke Jensen and Hugh Jackman have revealed some secrets:
“This time, fans will not be upset: Storm will fly like in the comic books. And I didn’t use stuntsmen - there was only a bucket by my side, for me to use if I felt like vomiting”, says the star Halle Berry. “The movie is going to have more action, humor and sexual strain, but we are follwing the path created by the previous movies”, completes the director Rattner, who is replacing his friend Bryan Singer.
New mutants will be on screen. Without a doubt, the one who is most likely to get the highlights is Beast, the genius in the body of an animal, played by the humorist Kelsey Grammer, from Frasier. “Having him with us is a priviledge”, says Rattner.
Famke Jensen must return pretty different now. After the death of Jean Grey in the end of the second movie, she will ressurect and pass to the evil side as Dark Phoenix, a key character in one of the most succesful plots in the comics. “We can’t talk anything about it”, says Famke.
Jackman tried changing subject too. “Everything is enhanced in the movie, like the actions scenes and the relationship between Wolverine and Storm”, says the star, who will get a solo movie of Wolverine in 2007. Galileu’s got an eye on it.
