Brett Ratner on X-Men The Last Stand Script

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:48, 10 March 2006 / General Genre/SciFi

Entertaiment Weekly just posted an exclusive interview with X-Men The Last Stand director Brett Ratner. Here are a few excerpts.



Q: Did you have any input into the script or make any changes?

A: Oh, yeah. What I didn't change was the plot. The plot of this movie, in my opinion — the concepts of ''The Cure'' and the Dark Phoenix — is brilliant. What I changed were set pieces, the location of where the third act would take place, for example. Every day we were working on making the script better and when I say ''script,'' I mean the relationships among the characters and the placement of the scenes because I'm very much into transitions. When you make a film, you're not just shooting like 50 little movies. Every scene has to connect with the next. It was a much bigger canvas because it was a much more emotional story. The story — whether you're an X-Men fan or not — is very relatable. ''The Cure'' is a very strong issue.

Q : How much influence for this film did you take from the fans or fansites?

A : I'll tell you this: The writers of this movie [Zak Penn and Simon Kinberg] are the biggest X-Men geeks on Earth. I did a test. I said, ''I wanna see a reference for every single scene in this movie.'' I didn't know that they had referenced the comics. I thought that some of the stuff was made up. There are thousands of X-Men comics, but I guarantee you a true X-Men geek can pull something from a comic or even a reference — it doesn't even have to be an entire scene — but it was clear that every single scene was coming from the comic book. These guys know. If I say, ''What was in comic #134?'', these guys can tell you. That's how fanatical they are.

The full interview can be found here.

After roughly 2 days, no obligatory post about 'this is a Trek site, f*ck X-Men, what does it have to do with Trek!' I'm amazed, and somewhat glad to see people have overcome this. Anyway, all that to say I don't know wether I should look forward to this movie or dread it... I'll se it on opening day anyway I guess, so who cares, really!:P
