Yep. He couldn't handle opening the eighth gate.

[Moss]

I love the way he croaks, "Bring wood and oil."

I say that in his voice at least twice a day.

FUCK YOU

[BaneTheBrawler]

I love the way he croaks, "Bring wood and oil."

I say that in his voice at least twice a day.

me too. and the way he kinda mumbles about heathen kings of old.... "No dark dank tomb for Denethor and Faramir!"

"Set a fire in our Flesh!"


actually just pretty much everything about him in that scene is fantastic. really gets across the way Denethor is going fucking looney. Only thing I didn't like about that scene in general was Gandalf and Shadowfax being all useless, and then the weird awkward kick.

This will be a Disaster movie

In a recent interview with EW, director Bryan Singer and producer Simon Kinberg discussed their next X-Men movie X-Men: Apocalypse. They shed some more light on what the film will be about and teased some of the things that we will see. All we've really known up until this point is that the film will be based in the 1980s and that it will feature younger 80s versions of some of our favorite X-Men characters.

Singer told the magazine that the film will be “somewhat” based on the 1990 comic storyline Age of Apocalypse, which features ancient villain Apocalypse and takes place in an alternate universe. Singer says that won't be a part of his movie though explaining,

[The movie] won’t necessarily create an alternate universe, but there may be some swapping things that I’m playing with.

Kinberg added,

From a visual standpoint it actually may be a bigger movie than Days of Future Past because there’ll be disaster movie imagery, like the title would imply.

Bigger than Days of Future Past?! That's surprising because Days of Future Past looks huge. The fact that they think this new movie is going to be even bigger is intriguing. Singer went on to talk about how Days of Future Past and Apocalypse will link,

You won’t feel at the end of the movie that it set up Apocalypse. What it does is it sets up possibilities. But what we’ll discover in Apocalypse is that events in this movie made that happen. Apocalypse deals with ancient mutancy. What would humans have thought mutants were? What would mutants think humans were? You’re dealing with gods and things like that. And what if one survived and what if that found its way into our world?

It definitely sounds like there's going to be an interesting set up. It will be cool to eventually see how the two stories actually connect with each other. The director then went on to confirm that James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult will all be back to reprise their roles, but he also reiterated that he wants to introduce Gambit and Nightcrawler to the movie as well.

I’m excited because I want to start introducing familiar characters at different ages and also explore the ‘80s.

Uh nowhere in there did it say Apocalypse won't feature Apocalypse.

What're the odds that he's going to wind up a floating fart cloud of evil?

Patrick Stewart might come back

When director Bryan Singer’s original 2000 X-Men proved that a (relatively) grounded, somewhat dark cinematic adaptation of a superhero comic book could be a rousing success, most of the attention was trained on breakout star Hugh Jackman’s central role of Logan/Wolverine. There is one character, however, who was just as pivotal: X-Men’s leader and mentor, Professor Charles Xavier, brought to vivid, commanding life by Sir Patrick Stewart.

We take Stewart somewhat for granted now, but looking back, casting the man who helped thrust the Star Trek brand back into the cultural spotlight as Captain Jean-Luc Picard was something of a stroke of genius. When Professor X was apparently killed off in X-Men: The Last Stand, many fans feared that we’d seen the end of Stewart’s warm, authoritative presence in the franchise, despite the end-credits tag teasing Charles’ survival.

Director Matthew Vaughn’s prequel X-Men: First Class appeared to confirm the new focus on a younger cast, but the announcement that Bryan Singer would return to the franchise he originated along with most of his original cast – including Stewart – for next month’s X-Men: Days of Future Past was welcome, exciting news. The run-up to the release of possibly the most expensive superhero movie of all time has included an expansive PR push, including viral videos and websites and that final, gripping trailer.

Now we have some comments from Patrick Stewart himself which suggest that his character may not survive DoFP and yet could return for X-Men: Apocalypse regardless. While speaking to MTV (via CBM), Stewart hinted that the older Professor X may not live through this latest X-movie.

When asked about the potential for his reprising the role for Apocalypse, he said:

I don’t see why not. That is one of the blessings about fantasy and science fiction. You’re never really dead. I would love to come back and do some more.

That’s an interesting statement. Is Stewart referring to his character’s apparent death in The Last Stand, or suggesting that the older Xavier dies at some point during Days of Future Past? Either way, it sound like he feels confident that his involvement will continue past DoFP. But how far? Stewart went on to say:

There might be something else. A little bird has whispered that there might be something ‘X-Men’-related.

“Something ‘X-Men’-related” just might refer to the as-yet unspecified Marvel-based project Fox is releasing on July 13, 2018. We know that we’re getting Wolverine 3 in 2017, though – could Stewart be appearing in that? Could the 2018 release be the X-Force movie written by Jeff Wadlow or the Gambit solo film which could star Channing Tatum?

Has Patrick Stewart let slip a bit too much information? There’s no way to tell until Days of Future Past hits theaters. Stewart’s presence in the X-Men movie universe, along with that of his pal Ian McKellen as Magneto, has always lent the franchise a certain gravitas that the Marvel films at other studios can’t quite match. Keeping him around in some pivotal capacity would definitely ensure fan loyalty along with providing a through-line to connect future spinoffs with the original films.

Singer has all but confirmed that Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm will all return for this one though younger versions of the characters we've seen in the past movies as it will be set in the 1980's.
