Will New X-Men Be First Class???

"Mutation. It is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve. From a single celled organism. into to the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But. every few hundred millienia. evolution leaps forward."

 

 Brian Singer's and Brett Ratner's shoes are going to be very difficult to feel buy director Matthew Vaughn... impossible? I don't think so. from what I've seen in the trailers, Vaughn has the best odds of making a successful franchise then what Brian Singer, and Brett Ratner did. I'm Not saying that Brian Singer can't do a successful "X-Men" film... and if I were saying that I would be lying especially since Singer made the first two successful films, but did not return in to do the third  because he was in the proses of making "Superman: Returns". Ratner did a good job in "X-men: The Last Stand", but he's no Brian Singer. I believe that Matthew Vaughn will have a big advantage at this project is because "X-men: First Class" is a prequel, and the extravagant thing about prequels is that the director gets to start the franchise with a whole new prospective and with  fresh new faces. I mean sure a lot of audiences will say critical stuff like "James Macvoy, did not do half as good as Patrick Stewart" or " Why did we not get to see some of our favorite mutants like Wolverine? (sorry ladies, no shirtless Hugh Jackman in this film). The whole concept of "X-men:first class" is to show audiences and take them on an unforgettable journey into the abyss of one of thee most successful comic books movies ever made, and witness how professor Charles Xaxier aka "Professor X" and his best friend/ nemeses Eric Lensherr aka "Magneto" became best friends and how they later became arch-rivals. X-men: first class is not Matthew Vaughn's first rodeo; in fact he has done some very successful films like "Stardust", "Snatch","Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels", "Kick-Ass" and "Layer Cake". Vaughn has the challenge of making the characters in X-Men:first class lead right up to the first X-men movie (2000). Example; everyone wants to know how professor Charles Xavier became paralyzed and how he was able to control and use his extraordinary power of telepathy which is the ability to send and receive thoughts from one mind to another and is a natural ability of the human mind. I believe that Matthew Vaughn has got the right ingredients for a great film and franchise. here are some examples 

• Vaughn has Brian Singer as one of the story writers, so u know that the story won't be garbage epically since Singer wrote and directed the first two x-men films.
• Vaughn has new talent to portray our favorite mutants when they were young.

Having James Mcavoy in this film is a great for director Matthew Vaughn, and the reason is because Mcavoy has all the traits that a director needs in order to be successful. Mcavoy has done some spectacular films like "Wanted", and "Atonement" so we have seen Mcavoy do a dramatic/ serious role, and action role, what else could you ask for from a actor like Mcavoy who I believe could really take this new franchise beyond great heights and limits.

I will leave with this last note that I have faith in Matthew Vaughn's ability to take on this challenge and make it into something so sublime. If you don't believe me then I suggest you watch some of Vaughn's last projects, which are thrilling and entertaining. X-men: first class will b a film that you won't want to miss, it has everything that you can ask for out of a action packed film. Just sit back and let professor Charles Xavier's  telepathy take care of your doubts.                            

The Origins Of Johnny Depp

 

“I think the thing to do is to enjoy the ride while you're on it.”

 Well no one can say that Johnny Depp has not had one of the most amazing rides that any successful actor could ask for, and it is nowhere close to being over for the 47 year old actor. Depp is so original and so sublime that if you were to compare him to any actor today, I believe the name that would be on everybody's tongue would be Marlon Brando. Depp and Brando have the same traits and qualities as actors that in most times is mind blowing. Whenever the two actors did new films you never see the same man; instead they take the audience on a ride with a man they have never met and when the ride unfortunately ends and their identity is revealed to the audience, their breath is immediately taken away from how amazing the experience was.

One of the things that makes Depp different from other actors is that Depp does not watch himself. In 2009 when Depp was promoting "Public Enemies" on the David Letterman show Depp said.

"In a way, once my job is done on a film, it's really none of my business," Depp told Dave. "I stay as far away as I possibly can... I don't like watching myself."

And as they've seen the "Pirates" movies, Depp said, "My kids have seen more of my films than I have."

I also believe the reason Depp does not watch himself is because he does not want to judge himself and start to think that he might need to change some of the ways he does his roles. As far as I am concerned Depp should not change one bit. 

With the exception of his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, Depp has never done the same character twice. Some theory's on  why Depp probably has never done any sequels prior to "Pirates Of The Caribbean"

• The character has reached his final destination, and there is no reason to proceed with a sequel.
• The new storyline on the main character (s) is not exciting enough, does not go with the previous films background, and does not come full circle like the previous film did.
• and last, Depp does not want to be a "sell out" and does not want to mislead the audience into believing that he does the film just for the money. 

   

 Depp has done just about everything that any actor could possibly dream of. Depp's gone from his first big movie debut which was in master of horror artist Wes Craven's "Nightmare On Elm Street" to a man with scissors for hands in  Tim Burton's "Edward Scissor Hands" and finally to  his most beloved character Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean: on stranger tides."

 Most fans are wondering What Johnny Depp will do now? Another Pirates film? more then likely especially since it has claimed over $380 million at the box office, but not just yet. Summer of (2011) Depp is scheduled to do "Dark Shadows" Depp's 8th film with mind blowing director Tim Burton, where Depp will take on the lead role as 200yr old vampire "Barnabas Collins," who was originally played by Johnathan Frid. Depp said that he wants and hopes to keep the character of Barnebas Collins just the way Johnathan Frid did in the series. Burton leads an outstanding cast along side with Johnny Depp,  Helena Bonham Carter, Jackie Earle Haley, Eva Green and Michelle Pfiffer. "Dark Shadows" was a T.V series from 1966-1971, and had two movies released (House of Dark Shadows, and Night of Dark Shadows). "Dark Shadows" will be the ultimate Vampire film in recent memory. Most audiences might think that Tim Burton and Depp are just trying to get on the vampire wagon; but what most people don't know is that Burton and Depp wanted to do this movie over ten years ago, but postponed it because both had other obligations and commitments. Now both Burton and Depp are ready to release there ultimate masterpiece on the world in (summer 2012). If it had not been for dark shadows giving off the Ora that it did there might not be as many successful vampire projects like " Interview with the vampire", "The Lost Boys", and the phenomenal  HBO original series "True Blood." Dark shadows is without a doubt the godfather of vampire projects, and now we the audience get to witness  how Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are going to show the world how "Dark Shadows" is a force to be reckoned with, and that other vampire projects will bow down to it's true maker.

I would like to close with this final word that I truly respect Johnny Depp for all that he has done in film, and for being a true example and inspiration to me. I only hope that when I reach my dreams and become a director I will be able to have the absolute honor to work along side Hollywood's most humbled and brightest star, Johnny Depp.                              

Christopher Nolan: The Future Of Film?

Christopher Nolan is one of the most popular and widely respected Directors in today's filming industry. Nolan has been known to take audiences on one of the greatest rides they will ever experience. His films always keeps the audience guessing, and when you feel like you have had enough... you just want more. What is Christopher Nolan's future to be in Tinseltown? Will he still be able to shock audiences around the world? Is he an example of what young directors will strive to be like? Will he be a name that fans will keep in their hearts and minds as one of their favorites directors like James Cameron, Clint Eastwood, or Steven Spielberg; or will he just fade away in time? Ha ha not likely!

Nolan  has done some of the most memorable films and in just 11 years, starting from "Memento" (2000) to his last installment of the Batman trilogy "The Dark Knight Rises" which will hit theaters summer (2012)

I can say without a doubt that every film Christopher Nolan has done I have always walked away impressed every time and never feeling like I was cheated out of my money and cheated out of a few hours of my life. I take my hat off to Nolan who's mind is so creative and so sublime that he is guaranteed to be the most genuine film makers the world will come to know.

If you enjoyed watching "Inception" which was one of summer  (2010) biggest juggernauts, then you have got to ask yourself, how does Christopher Nolan do it? How does he keep me at the edge of my seat every time; and how does he seem to surpass himself through every film? I believe that Nolan's film making is like the  saying people have for wine "Only gets better with age". Nolan's mind and ideas are so fantastic and original that I truly believe that he will succeed beyond what words can comprehend.

When I read that "The Dark Knight Rises" will be Nolan's last Batman film, I was shocked and now am worried that the franchise might sink to the bottom, like the Batman films did in the 90's after Tim Burton and Michael Keaton left; cause the studio wanted a new direction... What a mistake considering that Tim Burtons first two Batman films made over 228 million more then Joel Schumacher's two Batman films.

The studio bosses should just leave the Batman films alone after Nolan is finished especially since he has made them over 1.3 billion dollars already on just the first two films; but who knows maybe the studio bosses just like to loose money. I'm not saying they can't be done again, but just let the glory of Nolan's trilogy seep in for a while.

So what will Christopher Nolan do after Batman trilogy is over? I'm sure he has so many amazing ideas just running through his mind 24/7. He just needs to pick one that he knows will blow the audience's mind and leave them breathless and speechless. I can leave this last note saying that I truly believe that Christopher Nolan is the future of cinema, and will always make sure his films always leave on a high note. Nolan once said “I think audiences get too comfortable and familiar in today's movies. They believe everything they're hearing and seeing. I like to shake that up.” I am confident and will put my faith in Nolan 100% because he has not let the audience down yet, so why doubt someone who's visions are without a doubt working.
