X-men First Slash Sequel

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

So it looks like there’s definitely going to be a sequel to X-men: First Class. (Thanks, calliopes_pen for posting links to articles! She posted several; here’s one.) Sounds like the studio had in mind a set dollar amount it needed to make in order to get a sequel and, surprisingly to me, it only exceeded it by about 5 million.

In my dreams, the working title for the sequel is “Azazel and Riptide: A Love Story” – but in reality, I’d be happy if they had more than eight lines between the two of them this time.

“Azazel and Riptide: A Love Story”

That's a great title! XD

[stormkpr.livejournal.com]

I mean, it would sure make my dream come true...

[whipsy.livejournal.com]

Judging by AzRi comm activity, I'd say lots of people's dream come true! ;)

I hope they are in the sequel though, and Janos gets a few lines!

LOL!

I sure hope they'll be in it and have bigger roles. Alex *can* act too; I've rented two movies he did in Spanish. If he can act in Spanish, I have to think it means he can act in English. If the filmmakers aren't worried that people will react badly to his strong accent. (Or maybe he can take lessons to minimize it. Not that I think he should).

I doubt they're worried about people reacting badly to his accent - a lot of people think that Castilian accents are one of the sexiest accents. <3 I think maybe they're just like "eh, he's not very important to the plot, he doesn't need lines, he just needs to look cool and threatening."

I do totally think his voice is beautiful, accent or no.

I'd be all for “Azazel and Riptide: A Love Story”.

I will be really disappointed if Azzy and Rip won't be in a new movie.

[stormkpr.livejournal.com]

Seriously.

P.S. Check out my post on our AzRi comm (http://azazel-riptide.livejournal.com/38029.html); I found an interview with a great Alex/Jason moment!!

I'm kind of afraid for the new movie. Making sequels rarely end well especially for movies based on comic books and I really don't now what to think about it. Sorry for being a buzz-kill :(

I'm really afraid that Az and Rip won't be in it - they didn't have much to do in the previous movie and they could be written off... I don't want it to happen because I'll lose a lot of good feelings I've had about this movie, but it is a possibility *le sigh*

[stormkpr.livejournal.com]

It is true; we don't know what the sequel will bring. A/R might not be in it at all, may be in it but with small parts like in FC, or may be in it with slightly bigger parts. Whatever the case, they won't be major players in the film; I doubt that. :( They may decide to officially ship Az with Mystique in the movie, which in a way would suck.

I guess we have to be ready for anything then.

[megan-moonlight.livejournal.com]

I think I worry much more than everybody else. As I'm not a fan of X-Men movie!verse in general and FC was the only one I liked in general, and I'm very picky about it, so I really wonder how many parts of the movie I'd actually like if the new movie would be a sequel for FC but prequel to the other X-Men movie. I really disliked most of the things happening in the three first movies and seeing FC!verse going this way... *le sigh*

I'd be happy if Riptide got to speak or was mentioned by name, lol.


I'm not surprised the movie didn't do as well as it should have. Not because it wasn't good-I thought it was surprisingly good, despite certain flaws. But the economy sucks and people are broke, so there's not as much disposable income being spent on movie-going; plus, people are getting FED UP with how expensive theaters and snack food are. That has to be taken into account when judging how much profit was made.

[stormkpr.livejournal.com]

Wow, those are all really good points. A trip to the theater is very expensive indeed.

[realpestilence.livejournal.com]

The movie's probably still out in some theaters, world-wide, right? Between international showings, movie sales and rentals, and the holidays coming up-think of all those gift DVDs!-they're still gaining profits. I think it's a bit early for him to throw in the towel, profit-wise. Especially considering none of the actors are what I'd really call big name stars, in terms of the salaries they'd draw.

[forgerness.livejournal.com]

The sequel will never be called that, I'm afraid. But I'm sure one of the working titles for the sequel is actually "Charles and Erik: A Love Story." ;__;

But I really need Janos to speak in this sequel. I AM SO GLAD THERE IS GOING TO BE A SEQUEL ASDL;FJKACVHKJXHCVKLAIYUWEFR YESSSSSS. But Janos definitely needs to speak so that I can write him better. ALSO, I'm so glad there's gonna be a sequel (and probably another movie, the actors keep saying it will be a trilogy - hopefully it will), so that the fandom will keep on going. <3

[stormkpr.livejournal.com]

Yes - I really want this fandom to stay alive!

But all the other X-men movies went 3 years in between films, so we might be in for quite a wait. 2014 anyone?

[rivulet027.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited!

[stormkpr.livejournal.com]

Me too! Though we need to be patient since most of the X-men movies have had about a 3 year wait in between films. That just seems like forever.
