Q: I've seen a lot of web sites that say steam is building up for X-men
3, they have a script and new director and most of the cast is back. But I
keep seeing that you are alternately 'signed' or are 'still in talks'. So
rather than find out second-hand from these other sites. I thought I'd go
straight to the source. have you actually signed yet or are you still in
talks?
A: Although I haven't actually signed the contract it is intended
that I reprise Magneto in the 3rd X-Men movie. Shooting starts in
September in Vancouver, where I shall join the cast after completing my
work on Da Vinci Code.
ONCE AND FUTURE
From: Bernadette Haney
Q: ONCE AND FUTURE KING v. LORD OF THE RINGS: I think the book OAFK is
not so much an analysis of Arthur and Mordered with X and Magneto, but as
it is a reference to the person who will come back: I.E.: Dr Jean Grey
becoming Phoenix. When I first saw the book I asked my husband if the book
was in the comic, and he said no. When it appeared again I told him it was
important. When Grey "died," I asked, does she come back? What was that
golden glow in the water at the end? My husband was amazed and explained
phoenix, asking how I knew. I told him, because that is the myth of the
"future king," that Arthur comes back.
A: As I remember, Bryan Singer chose that particular book for
Magneto to read in prison because the title reflected on the prisoner's
ambitions.
