Magneto

[Psicotrópico]

Bueno ya no sé si es bueno o malo, pero definitivamente es mi villano favorito.

Variety reports that Twentieth Century Fox has set Sheldon Turner to draft Magneto, an action-thriller based on the villainous character played in the first two X-Men films by Ian McKellen.

The project represents the second extension of the studio's X-Men comicbook franchise. The move follows a Fox deal with Troy scribe David Benioff to write Wolverine, a film about the gruff mutant with the steel claws, played in the films by Hugh Jackman.

Turner recently scripted the Adam Sandler remake of The Longest Yard, rewrote The Amityville Horror and drafted a sequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

He was drafted for the new assignment by 20th Century Fox president Hutch Parker and senior veep Alex Young, who are overseeing the spinoffs as they separately develop a third X-Men installment. Simon Kinberg is writing that film. The first two had a combined worldwide gross of $700 million.

The film most likely will be produced by the X-Men tandem of Lauren Shuler Donner and Marvel Studios head Avi Arad.

Turner said he wasn't a comicbook fanatic, but when he was asked to read back issues of the Marvel Comics franchise and see if any character was ripe for its own movie, he sparked to Magneto, a mutant whose power is the ability to manipulate and control metal objects.

The original X-Men film began with a prologue that showed his character as a child being led to a concentration camp by Nazis, and that is the period in which the Magneto film will take place. This setup will allow a future villain to at least flirt with the designation of protagonist. Since the character will be seen almost exclusively in his formative years, it is not clear whether McKellen will be in the film at all.

"I pitched a film that is almost The Pianist meets X-Men, about a guy who, after watching his family slaughtered, has an awakening of his powers and seeks revenge," Turner said.

Storyline will heavily involve Professor X, the wheelchair-using X-Men leader played in the films by Patrick Stewart. That character was a soldier in the allied force that liberated the concentration camps. The professor meets Magneto after the war, and while they bond over the realization that they are alike in their special powers, their differences soon turn them into enemies.

Turner said the film is one of several origin stories that Hollywood has grown sweet on telling. He wrote a backstory to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre that tells how Leatherface came to be, and Dino and Martha De Laurentiis are working with author Thomas Harris on Behind the Mask, a film and novel about the origins of Hannibal Lecter.

Pues si ya no se sabe si es algo bueno o es algo malo, sigo insitiendo alguien deberia de frenar a Avi Arad , de estar abaratando las licencias ...
Aunque ya hablando como Fan de Magneto espero que sea una excelente pelicula

[Karmix]

Cuando empeze a leer la nota pense:"va a ser un bodrio de película"porque me imaginaba que si lo que le gusto al director era lo de los poderes magnéticos ; iban a hacer un personaje "based on the Marvel Comics character" o sea un Gatubelazo.
Ya con la explicacion de la idea de la pelicula, la verdad se oye bien; no le auguro el gran éxito en taquilla, como lo podría ser el omnipresente Wolvie, pero si la liberan, ahi estaré puntualito

[nightshadow]

el origen dramático de Magneto junto con el hecho de q' sería una película de "superhéroes" (xq' dudo q' esa historia se preste para poner a Magneto como el villano q' ahora conocemos y más bien lo van a mostrar como una victima de los nazis q' quiere salvar a su pueblo) ubicada en la Segunda Guerra Mundial le puede dar lo necesario, siempre y cuando lo manejen bien, para ser una gran película dentro del género, pero como siempre existen los peros...dudo mucho q' llegue a tener un gran alcance dentro de las audiencias, Magneto no es uno de esos villanos carismáticos del cine q' podría sostener una película por sí mismo, además de q' esa mezcla histórica-ciencia ficción lo más seguro es q' solo termine atrayendo a los "comiqueros"...

ojala veamos esto detallado en la pelicula.

[Psicotrópico]

Coincidimos que Magneto tiene un potencial enorme para ser llevado a la pantalla chica y si terminan por tratarlo como el personaje que tiene un motivación y acaba convirtiéndose en aquello que odia.

Probablemente Ian Mckellen no lo haga ya que necesitarían un magneto jóven y sería si lo hacen bien el Darth Vader de los comics.

Pero le daria cierta direccion adecuada si Mckellen apareciera al principio o al final evidenciado el "como llegue aqui..." intermenciones entre el Magneto idealista lleno de esperanzas y el cruel y despiadado seria lo ideal

[The Starkiller]

Y estaría de lujo ver a Xavier de pie, y que luego vayan a Israel a conocer a Gabrielle Haller y luchen contra Von Strucker... bueno, mucho sueño guajiro, pero no sería malo que se apegaran a los cómics. Bien explotados, son buena fuente. Pero el hecho de que Xavier aparezca le dará un plus, mínimo en el trailer.

[Solid Snake]

Pues la premisa se lee interesante y concuerdo con los demás en que va a estar difícil que la película sea un éxito de taquilla. A lo mejor un éxito de culto con los fanboys, mas fuera de eso la veo difícil.

Yo creo que una buena parte en la trama seria aquella backup story del Classic X-Men 12, A Fire in the Night, de Claremont, donde Magneto recuerda en sueños como lo abandona Magda y como se muere su hija, eso le daria una gran profundidad a la historia y seria un homenaje a todos nosotros como diehard fans.

[The Starkiller]

De hecho es mi origen favorito de Magneto. No es que tenga muchos, pero ya saben cómo al ir a ver ROTK, unos decían que tiene "varios finales", como Volver al Futuro. Así que a mí me gusta platicar de Magneto a la gente que no lo conoce, a través de esta historia justamente. Sería una buena elección.

David Goyer to Direct Magneto
Source: Variety Friday, April 27th, 2007

David Goyer will direct Magneto, the X-Men spinoff in development from 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios that centers on the villain played in the original trilogy by Ian McKellen, according to Variety.

After the first three X-Men films grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, Fox and Marvel hatched the spinoff program. Magneto will be the second such movie to go into production. First up is Wolverine, a David Benioff-scripted film that will star Hugh Jackman as the steel-clawed mutant; Fox and Marvel will set a director shortly on that film.

Goyer will develop a Magneto script that was written by Sheldon Turner.

In a storyline hinted at by the original X-Men films, Magneto comes to grips with his mutant ability to manipulate metal objects as he and his parents try to survive in Auschwitz. Magneto meets Professor Xavier (played as the wheelchair-bound mutant leader by Patrick Stewart) when the latter is a soldier liberating the concentration camp.

Magneto hones his powers by hunting down and killing Nazi war criminals who tortured him, and his lust for vengeance turns Xavier and Magneto into enemies. Both characters will be played by actors in their 20s.


Aunque igual y en algunas semanas abandona el proyecto

[The Starkiller]

Pos no me extrañaría.

Qué tan bueno será para la taquilla que El malo sea el protagonista y El bueno sea el antagonista? Cómo incorporarán el elemento acción? Contra los nazis en Israel como en el comic? Aunque me pueda gustar la idea de ver esto, no creo que sea redituable.

Ah jijos, me metí pensando que Alan y sus compañeros harían otra peliculita en la que se mofan de Indiana Jones y cantan "Hacia el suuuuur"...

[nightshadow]

Hay algun personaje que le falte a Goyer por querer hacer , ya ni se deberia de tomar en serio lo que anuncia, a cada rato se "involucra" en una nueva película para que eventualmente se quede solo en el tintero o sea reemplazado...

[Xanos]

yo espero que eso de que Goyer sea el director de la pelicula sea solo una broma de April,s fool porque yo solo conozco una pelicula dirigida por el(Blade 3) y esta espantosa
Que se quede como guionista,porque como director no sabe pulir un guion malo ni tener un control parejo de los actores

Avi Arad Talks Magneto!
Source: MTV Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

MTV caught up with producer Avi Arad who provided some insight into the upcoming X-Men spin-off, Magento, based on the character from the franchise:

"Think of meeting him in [the first X-Men movie] as a young boy in a concentration camp. What happens to his life after the war?" he teased of the film's plot. Arad quickly answered his own question, telling MTV News that the flick will follow Magneto discovering "if [his powers are] real or not and the whole journey of [his] survival as a young man."

Directed and co-written by Batman Begins scribe David Goyer, the prequel has all sorts "of opportunities for the kind of things that [will] make [it] interesting," Arad contended, including a look at his early friendship with and ultimate rift from Charles Xavier, the mutant who would later become the leader of the X-Men.

Given Magneto is already the head of the militant mutant organization known as The Brotherhood in the first film, will the prequel detail the steps he takes to form that alliance, perhaps highlighting such mutants as Sabertooth and Rebecca Romijn's Mystique? "[Some] amazing surprises that happen in his life [are in store]," Arad coyly answered.

A mi tb

Tiene sus momentos como cuando Dracula mata a los fresas-darkies ¡Yo hubiera hecho lo mismo! lo ridiculo es ver a Dracula ser muerto tan facilmente (en el comic esta peor )

Lo curioso es que Goyer le puso mas enfasis a la direccion que al guion
Los dialogos son de los mas chafas y en cada ocasion Blade habla solo para reafirmarse como un bad-ass... por Dios hasta Dracula tiene mejores dialogos

La direccion NO es mala (la escena donde corta a todos en al escalera con su batarang, salta y luego regresa es insuperable, en la 1 esto se ve chafa y en la 2 simple)

El problema es la historia, parecia un epidosio de final de temporada de Buffy o mas que estaba jugando Final Fight pues nomas ean peleas, peleas y mas peleas el 'Jefe final' y ya... con la historia reciclada de al 1

Wizard caught up with David Goyer at Wizard World Chicago and asked him about Magneto, the "X-Men" spinoff he's writing and directing:

"We're scouting and budgeting now. It's the origins of the X-Men with Magneto and Charles Xavier. We've done some scouts and it mostly takes place in Europe and Argentina. We're doing budgets and we're sort of halfway crewed up, and so that'll be the big question: whether we can bring it in for a price. But that's all I can say."

Magneto Spoilers
Source: Obsessed with Film 9/10/2007

Obsessed with Film have been privy to some big news of late, and they haven’t stopped, acquiring a bit of a plot summary of the new Magneto movie, which is purported to be bringing Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.

spoiler:

The movie is book-ended with two scenes in Poland at the 60th Anniversary of the Auschwitz Liberation. These events take place within the timeframe of the first three X-films and will reunite Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

The opening takes a cue from Bryan Singer’s X-Men, where a young Erik Lehnsherr crumples the Auschwitz gates. Erik is subjected to horrendous experiments by a team of scientists led by vicious Nazi Dr. Kleinmein.

We next meet Lehnsherr in Ukraine. It’s ten years later and he’s married to Magda, they have a young girl called Anya. Erik works in construction, his abilities are well developed, he’s able to plunge a nail straight through wood by just staring at it.

In the village pub Erik spots Kirken, an abusive prison guard from the concentration camp. Kirken ends up dead by Erik’s hand and the villagers burn down his house – Magda and Anya are killed in the blaze.

In Paris, Erik seeks help from famed Nazi hunter Professor Wesenthein – he wants revenge, more specifically he’s looking for Kleinmein. Wesenthein tells Erik many Nazi’s are hiding out on South America, and that Kleinmein was trying to genetically manufacture a master race for Hitler.

Erik moves on to Argentina to try and track down Nazi war criminals – he’s met by CIA agent Owen Graves and the pair form an alliance. Graves tips off Erik on the whereabouts of known Nazis but also harbours his own agenda.

The action switches to Israel where Erik searches for a man well known for helping Holocaust survivors. He finds him playing soccer: Dr Charles Xavier...

Apparently, in addition to the familiar faces of Magneto and Professor-X, Senator Kelly (a young and old version), Mystique y Victor Creed may also be returning to the big screen in this period piece. Good news all round.

[Xornmx]

Suena bastante interesante. Yo me aputno. Ojala no se quede en el tintero.

[Bernardo]

Que dice Sir Ian McKellen del proyecto???

They are making a Magneto spin-off but I don't think it will involve me because it's about the younger Magneto, it's a back-story. Would I be willing to return to play a young Magneto? A cameo in my own movie? I don't think so. I don't think I could get away with playing a 19-year-old."
