X-Men Origins: Wolverine looks like it is going to be an awesome movie. With a well rounded cast a great director, and hopefully a good story, they will be able to pull it off. Hugh Jackman is a great Wolverine and he is the producer of the film as well. I loved the first 2 X-men movies, and the 3rd one X-Men: The Last Stand blowed!!! A crappy director and a cheesy script were the major downfalls to this film. Brett Ratner totally botched it and why in the crap did Bryan Singer have to leave to film Superman?...we will never know. One thing is for sure is that Brett Ratner should stick to filming Rush Hour movies.
I AM A GAMBIT FREA
K!
Now, my 2 favorite X-Men characters are Wolverine and Gambit. I am a huge fan of Gambit. He's got an awesome accent, he is a Ragin' Cajun from New Orleans, he's got an awesome trench coat, cool eyes, he plays cards and he is a great fighter. I own all the Gambit Comic books of the original series and I am a little upset at the person that they picked to play Gambit for this Wolverine Origins movie. Lame teeny bopper Taylor Kitsch from Friday Night Lights. Ug, he is too young and his nose isn't as prominent as Gambit from the Comic books and cartoon series.
In X-Men: United the name of Remy LeBeau, aka Gambit, is seen on the computer screen when Mystique breaks into the underground facility. In X-Men: The Last Stand there was suppose to be a cameo of Gambit played by stuntman James Bamford, but the scene was cut.
It was also rumored that Gerard Butler, Bailey Chase, James Franco, Channing Tatum, and Josh Holloway were considered for the role of Gambit. Out of all those considered I think that Josh Holloway would have fit the bill. He looks like the character and has a southern accent like the character as well.
All I have to say is that Taylor Kitsch better do a good job.
Something else bugs me about the previews, seeing the Gambit character and all. In the comic books and the cartoons Gambits' eyes have black sclera and red iris's, on the film though, his eyes appear normal. That really bothers me because one of Gambits' trademarks are his devilish red eyes.
