Bryan Singer Wants to Return to the X-Men Franchise

The Hollywood Reporter quoted Bryan Singer, and it turned a lot of heads. The quote heard round the comic world... "I'm still looking to possibly returning to the 'X-Men' franchise. I've been talking to Fox about it." This is such a blessing, I can't put it into words.

The article goes on to quote Singer a few more times, and I think it's a great example of why his movies are so good, and so different. He talks about making action movies with more to them; they are about the "human condition". I think everyone can relate to the X-Men characters and the way they feel different, the way they are outcasts; we've all felt that at one point in our lives. Singer's films bring a little extra that is needed to make these comic book movies feel real.

I don't want to take more than a sentence to talk about that fat, ugly loser director of X3; all I will say is.... no I better not get started. Let's just hope for Singer's return. I can say he single handedly brought the comic book world to the big screen. Yes Blade and other's like it were first, but X-Men made it something special.

Blade vs. The Dark Knight fan-made video

Staying with the superhero themed postings; here's a great fan-made video. I've seen a ton of fan-made videos featuring our favorite superheros, but I have to say, this is the best one yet. What IF there were a Batman vs. Blade film? Here's what it would like like:

A little secret: Check out this incredible site of fan-made videos featuring your favorite superheros. Enjoy.

Blade spin-off starring... Stephen Dorff?

I hope this is the ultimate in bs hype. In my opinion, the Blade franchise brought back the cool of superhero movies. It combined story and special effects that few movies could before it. In 1998, I doubt Marvel Comics expected the first film to become a three film trilogy, but it did. Despite what everyone thinks, Blade: Trinity is bad ass! The first film obviously starred Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorff. Stephen Dorff, you don't know Stephen Dorff? Don't worry, no one else does either.

Dorff played the villain in the first movie and there are rumors a new movie is in development surrounding his character. It is more a prequel than a sequel; a way to see how Dorff's character, Deacon Frost, came to be. Normally we ignore rumor and hearsay when it comes to this kind of news. In this case however, the director of Blade, Stephen Norrington, also confirmed the rumor. Here's what Dorff had to say about it to The Sunday Mail:

It will be a prequel to the Blade movies, Deacon's story. It's a new trilogy the director has created. It will cool. We hope to shoot the first film next year. Frost is a character I have never been able to shake.

Are you serious? No one knows you for anything else BUT Deacon Frost. Dorff is actually not even that bad of an actor, but who the heck is this guy's agent? Anyway. I doubt this all will happen. Marvel is holding their properties so close to the chest that I really don't see them letting go of a viable, commercially successful Blade franchise to just anyone. So we'll have to wait and see. Would you go watch a Deacon Frost focused movie?
