X-Men 4: Can Halle Berry Promise It Won’t Stink?
Jan 11, 2007 by Vic Holtreman
According to Superherohype.com, after having won the People’s Choice Award for “Favorite Female Action Star” Halle Berry was so pleased that fans like her “Storm” character so much that she told them if they really want X-Men 4 to be made, it’s up to them.
Here’s what she said:
“You guys really love X-Men? Ok, here’s what you have to do. Write letters. Every one of you in this building who love X-Men and want to see X-Men 4, write a letter to Tom Rothman at Fox and tell him so and you will get another one, and I’ll be there too.”
Considering how fairly weak X-Men 3 was (yes, I gave it 3 out 5 stars, but I was in a generous mood that day) and the fact that generally speaking, each consecutive sequel in a series gets worse than the previous film, I won’t be blasting any emails off any time soon clamoring for another movie. Maybe if they brought Bryan Singer back to helm it, but he’s probably going to have his hands full with the Superman sequel.
I find it funny that Halle actually won the award considering how awful her performance was in X3. Of course considering the competition was Uma Thurman in My Super Ex-Girlfriend which was no doubt pretty awful and Kate Beckinsale in Underworld: Evolution which had a lot fewer people see it I guess I’m not surprised.

ya know what? in a group movie like x-men, all they need is 2 well known actors, maybe even just 1. that 1 should be patrick stewart as prof x. everybody else could be unknown actors to play the x-men.
hey, MIKE, was it you who also said grace jones? if it was i could see why you picked her, but i’m saying no on that one.
yes make x mne 4 i like all 3 and i want to see 4 with halle berry and the girl woh paly kitty and like them all can you have the the girl woh paly kitty in x men 4 but like have her get tied up and gagged and eb beer feet and show her beer feet off she cute but make x man 4 ok
make x man 4 ok with helle berry and kitty they have to be the movie
He was the first……..
But he will not be the last.
There were others, there are others and there will be others………….
Who challenged those.
Those……… like the one who came from the sky.
cant wait on wolverine movie it looks really good,and magneto,and first class. but some other cool ones could be bishops distric-x,generation-x,next generation,x4 iceman angel,and colossus.we need great stories not crowding characters in just because they can but when they need them and as cool cameos.and the one they need to use are apocalypse,sinister,beak as an adult,angelsavador,basilisk,more glob herman as a younger version in school,chamber, husk,prosimian the ape man,mammomax,squidboy,orb weaver,omega red,sauron and my favorite human villain since stryker john sublime who takes mutant powers for himself and his u-men becoming powerful.also rockslide and anole would make cool cameo’s.just keep the movies coming,and add the sentinels inthe first class movie.spread the word.
My Idea For a scene for X-men 4
(This is a scene with Logan, Beast and Mutant Boy who always watches TV and never sleeps)
Around 11.45pm.in the mansion, most of the younger mutants are asleep except a few of the others. Logan and Beast arrive at the mansion after a visit to one the the GENOSHA facilities
(Note- this facility is in Mexico. Beast. They witnessed the completion of thirty 9-feet tall cybernetic Humanoids made from titanium that will assist in the transatlantic tunnel foundation considering the underwater tasks)As they approach the lounge, they are not surprised to see who is still up watching tv; and at that moment a ‘TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL’commercial comes up
TV AD – The transatlantic tunnel! Building a better future.
Logan – Just when you thought you heard enough, you hear it again at home. And i wonder who is still plugged to the screen. Or do i have to guess?
Mutant Boy- Hi Mr Logan, How was your trip. I take it science and technology is not really your own thing.
Logan- Hey just because I am not a geek, don’t exactly mean i do not keep up to date with things. You know that’s why we get all this invitations. Besides You can say hello to Mr Mc Coy.
Mutant Boy – Hi Mr Mc Coy. How was the visit if you do not mind me asking. Anything exciting
Beast – You konw what,for a guy who watches discovery channel and reads hi-tech magazines, I’d say you would have loved it if you cmae with us and saw what we saw.
Boy- Woah! What did you see Mr McCoy. Please do tell now you got me interested now. What was it flying cars, new advanced fighter jet, What?
Loan- Hey Mr furball we should keep alow profile especially when telling things to wannabe Transatlantic tunnel engineer here.He may brag about it to the whole kids in the mansion.
Beast- Lighting up Logan, The kid is intrieged. Its good to see youths already taken great interest in their future. Besides, reminds me of my youth days.
TV AD- The Transatlantic Tunnel- Got what it takes.
Logan- Not again. You know what guys, this whole engineering thing gives me the creeps now. A few years back Magneto lifts the golden gate, drops it so his mutant takeover buddies wipe everyone on Alcatraz until we come and stop him of course. We win,Magneto is nowhere to be found, some say he perished when………
When………………… When Jean lost control.
Boy – What do you think Mr Logan
Logan- About Magneto or about your buddies Transatlantic Tunnel idea. To be honest even though things seem good. I feel that last victory has really pushed things. I mean all of sudden we X-men are considered as a positive symbol to humanity. More mutants have joined this Genosha projects making themselves part of society.Magneto destroys the golden gate, we stop him, bridge is rebuilt and now some ambitious organisation comes up with an idea to build a bridge connecting continents together. This Genosha facilities are constantly introducing new technology-I mean not to mention those robots we saw today. It is like things are going well too fast and too soon.
Beast- What do you mean Logan? I thought you said you were tired of constant battling. Are these not the days we longed for Logan?Humans and mutants working together. The transatlantic tunnel is an ingenious idea, how i wished the project had started earlier.
Think of the tunnel as mankinds achievement in creating another engineering ‘wonder of the world’.
Logan- You comparing this to Great Pyramids at Giza. Don’t get me wrong McCoy. We live in th 21st century, back in those days, if you spoke in a very convincing way with charisma, you could make men live on mars.
Beast- What are you implying Logan. YTou think the pyramid was a waste of effort ordered by men who knew how to deceive and manipulate others.
Logan- Damn right i think so, Have you seen the size of those structures. The stones themselves used to create them are huge regardless of how many were used to complete them. And three structures at such great heights and precision. It had to be a project that was imposed on people of that society.
Beast- You talking slavery.
Logan- Damn right i am talking slavery and deception.
Beast- I strongly disagree. The pyramids apart from being observatory monuments have got some great mathematical clues hidden within them and their locations and precise positioning. One would say, lIke i would think there was something deeper and this was a project that had a stronger significance. That we may never know. There have been some rumours that they are missing link to origins of this world that existed far beyond our own knowldege of histroy
Boy- You mean like Martians or Atlantians Mr McCoy? I think so too. I feel we as a species are sort of living the past again. Maybe that is why there are mutants today.
Logan- You saying that you think mutants built the pyramids. come on kid, even though that could be a good argument. I am no science or anthropology expert but i know that civilisation or mutation are events that take hundreds of years to progress and advance.
Beast- No Logan the boy has got a point. For this first time i agree with both of you. Don’t forget you mentioned people with power that could convince or manipulate others.
Maybe there were some people with mutant powers those days. Probably not many but few that were chosen to lead the others.They probably were worshipped like Gods, that becuase they were so few of them, even though they were mutant, they realised that they were still human and death was inevitable so they wanted to be remembered – in other words wanted to be immortal by convincing the public to carve monuments and pyramid structure as a reminder of their power and reign.
The pyramids obviously, can never be built today with the sort of society we live and our knowledge of life considering mutation is much more advanced. But maybe those pyramids are a reminder that what is happening now, happened then.
Logan- Beast! you never seize to amaze me with you words. You could be right. If there were mutants during those days, i am sure there were some with views like our prominent antagonists – MAGNETO.
Maybe that’s why that civilisation does not exist no more. Maybe the people woke up and decided to stand up for themselves and decided to keep limited information of the true events that occured years ago in that region of the earth.
Anyway lets just hope this so called transatlantic tunnel does not escalate anything dangerous. I mean speaking of ancient history, Kitty(SHADOWCAT)works with archeologists in finding fossils and artitifacts now and Bobby(ICEMAN) is all over controlling the level of ice in the polar regions.
Beast- things will be good Logan. I am sure when the tunnel is complete, you will be happy to hear that we X-men were then ones who encouraged the world to build it in history books. Now lie the ancient egyptian rulers, we displayed our immortality through positive sacrifice.
Logan- Don’t count your chichkens before they hatch Beast. lets wait until the bridge is built. Besides the whole idea still gives me the creeps and I am still concerned about Magneto and most of all those droids. Yes they built them to swim underwater at deep levels unsafe for makind. But you and i know sometimes they might build them for other agenda.
Beast- What do you mena Logan. Ifyou are simply saying that you are afraid that they might later use them as weapons. There are mutants working in Genosha, they can destroy them if things go wrong.
Logan- Don’t be naive Henry McCoy. They said they ahve every civilian, both mutant and human working in Genosha on electroinc files. I am sure they have sufficient data on their mental, physical and of course mutant characteristics.
Beast- You sying that it is possible that they might modify them as a defense against mutants. The robots we saw can easily be destroyed Logan. The engineers stated that.
Logan- I know Beast.. FOR NOW but wait till they start making them from ‘ADMANTIUM’
MAGNETO- THE CURE WAS JUST THE FIRST STEP.
THIS TIME THEY WILL TAKE A MUCH SINISTER APPROACH
AND BRING WAR AGAINST EVERYONE, MUTANTS AND HUMANS

Nightcrawler – SHADOW STEPPPPPPPPPPPP????????
Mrrrr McCoy. Oh do I have to guess, this was your idea Logan wasn’t it.
Logan- Cmon Kurt, Lighten up. This name suits better unlike Nightcrawler… Makes you sound like stalker. Besides I think it gives a boost to your character.
Kurt- Thanks Logan but i still prefer Nightcrawler, the name means a lot to me. It was given to me in the circus by the spectators. Where i found happiness from the realities of discrimination.
I felt emotional peace with Nightcrawler in the circus.

Mr McCoy , please next danger room session, i would like the name reverted back to NIGHTCRAWLER.
BEAST- Sure thing Kurt, I told Logan you would not like it, but ‘Scissors hands’ thinks he knows it all now that the professor isn’t around.

Logan-
come on!! make it!!!!!!!!!!!! i eman the cure dusn’t work so make another movie!!
X-MEN – THE DAYS OF OUR FUTURE PAST
APOCALYPSE- MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN
VOICE OF APOCALYPSE – JAMES EARL JONES
Year 1890…
In a country Situated around the Northern part of the continent Africa.
A group of foreign visitors,on a special visit in the country stumble on a trade fair happening in the city. The group consists of 1 archeologist, 2 anthroplogists and 1 engineer.The decide to split in groups for some site seeing. The fact that they are noticable as foreigners they are attacked by some of the locals willing to sell their works of craft. One local approaches the two anthroplogists. This local is able to slightly communicate in english and tries to sell two carved statuets of ancient rulers.
Locals- having my friends for both you- Djedefra or Khafra,take,take, take, good price I give you! good Price!
Anthroplogists: You don’t have his fahter Khufu. Auuhhh! NO can do! I prefer Khufu. Khufu is my favourite.
Other Anthropologists- Hey Mr Worthington, check that out, your thing, magic tricks. Bet you can figure the secret technique. How about impress them with your knowledge of magic tricks to those kids.Show them what visitors have got.
to be continued.
@DUST
Acually, I think Michael Clark Duncan’s voice would be fine; of course, Darth Vader is king.
After watching Die Hard 4. Who thinks Bruce Willis would make a great character as cable.
But the problem would be his asking fee.
Other choice for ‘EN SABAH NUR’ would be Christopher Judge from Stargate SG1 a.k.a. T’aek. He has got a strong voice. remeber he was the voice of Magneto in x-men evolution
(SOME THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE, BUT SOMETIMES THE THINGS WHICH ARE MEANT TO BE, SHOULD NOT BE)
Mr Worthington: Sure thing my fellow anthropologists, Mr Wilkinson, as I am fascinated by the art of magic. You and I both know that there is no such thing as real magic- just trickery the art of fooling the speen of the human optical intelligence. But mentioning that though, I am in the mood to show-off some of my talents. They loved me in London
(The two Anthropologists head towards a performance act, where a local magician(stoned masked) is about to perform a death defying magic trick. The trick would be to walk through a passage in flames and at the same time walking on nails at a distance 50 metres)
Mr Wilkinson: You Know, Mr Worthington, This trip became not only became motivating but a bit exciting at a level that is quite frightening. We may just about to witness a brave soul attempting suicide act and using a circus act as his excuse plan. Should we be really watching this Sir, Look at all these kids, not a display of fright in them. They seem quite excited about the whole thing. Back in London , this would be considered as barbaric. Right now I am feeling uneasy.
MR WORTHINGTON: Steady now Mr Wilkinson, they are excited because this man has probably done something like this before. Look around you. He obviously going to perform this trick with a high percentage of success . Now that is what I call magic my dear comrade. Today I am going to figure out what the secret technique is of a grande magician. Then probably use it London. Glad we made it to this trip.
Mr Wilkinson: MR Worthington , okay I must admit you are scaring me too. I think you have probably been here too long. The egyptian sun is probably manipulating your mental stability. I would not be suprise if you get excited at watch a human beheading. I will stay with you, but after the performance we are returning to the hotel.
(The magician walks gracefully unto the passage of extreme inferno and after a few minutes he suddenly appears at the other end-steamy but unhurt(as if from a sauna). The magician wipes his feet and lifts his arm at the sametime,shouts some words in several languages. The final saying is in egyptian arabic and the crowd hail him witha massive standing ovation.)
MR Wilkinson: My goodness! tell me if he is not a remarkable man MR Worthington, not a blister or burn on his skin. God I wish we brought a camera with us. This would really amaze the buddys back in London. Mr Worthington………….. I have never seen you like this. You look like you have seen a ghost. I must admit that was one performance. You figured out what the secret trick was. If you did, spill to me. We both can keep the knowledge to ourselves, and maybe start our own circus shows. Some extra pounds on the side. You know what I mean Mr Worthington- a bit of extreme magic does nobody any harm.
Mr Worthington: He is a god after that performance, metaphorically speaking. Unfortunately for me Mr Wilkinson, I have no clue to what he did. My mind is totally puzzled- not a blister or burn . Not to speak of the fire, he walked that passage with naked feet and….on pointed nails. Today, I would say is the day I witnessed a truly magnificent magician. I surely want to speak to this guy. Mr Wilkinson you know a bit of arabic, lets figure out a way to get to him through this crowd. By the way, why would he not take his mask off. Come on
Mr Wilkinson this is our only chance.
(As the two Anthroplogists try to reach the magician, a pellet dart is fired from an unknown person in the crowd, htting one of the anxious anthropogists. As they nearly reach the magician, one of them begins to lose his stability)
Mr Worthington: Mr Wilkinson,whats the matter, you don’t look yourself, did that magic really get to you. Come on Sir, we are nearly there. We can simply offer his men a few sterlings and guarantee you they would let us through to him. You are not the only one who is excited now. Yes! I must confess. I wonder what he looks like behind that hideous mask.
X-men 4
Forge – Gary Dourdon
or
Gary Dourdon(from CSI & ALIEN RESURRECTION) as Bishop
x-men 3 sucked ass big deal it had more fighting in it so what, without a good story and script all that fighting means nothing, the dialogue was ear bleeding yuck, Bryan Singer and David Hayter understood the charaters respected them, Ratner Penn Kinberg said iam doing whatever i want screw the first two films, Wolverine film looks good idk why Gambit is in it but oh well, least i don”t have to suffer Gambit and Rogue that pairing sucked, i rather see Rogue with Logan sinse Hayter hinted thats were they were planning on goingf anyway.
can’t agree more with you Rich. you said it right. I do not know why people are so hyped about wolverine movie. The whole Gambit entrance does not exactly mean that it is going to be something spectacular. They are far better characters than Gambit. I know there are different version of the x-men comics since in start in the 1960s but they can make themovies better. Its all about better script. The 1990s cartoon series were great because of the script. Personally i thought they were going to do an x-men story about Wolverine and Storm in an alternative reality filled with war because Xavier is murdered- (like the episode in the series titled- ONE MAN’S WORTH)
The idea was that in x-men 3, when Logan and Storm returned after Jean obliterates the Professor. Storm grabbed Logan in sorrow,and at that split moment they shift to topic where a mutant from another time is trying to alter incident, in order to save the Professor. I do agree, hollywood has over-stressed the Wolverine character. We know he heals and has adamantium claws; move on
wow Dust thank you for agreeing most people think iam dumb cause i want Logan Rogue together.
“fans liked halle berry’s storm character?” come on, that cannot be true. she looked nothing like storm, and she was too short to play the character. IMAN or some other 5’8 -6’0, thin, dark skinned african american woman would have been much much better.
the only x men movie that was awesome was the first the 2nd and 3rd was terrible and the only other good super power movie is the incredibles it rocked!!!!!!!
man i listend to the x-3 comantary damn no wonder x-3 sucked Ratner did it his own way.
Think of an idea for x-men 4 . We know, or most of us know that professor X exists in astral form (spirit form). Remeber Nightcrawler says he has to see or vision where he is going before teleporting there. But remember in x-men 2 he did that without visioning his target with storm. Imagine Xavier transferring his astral form into Nightcrawler. Basically two minds working in one mutant body. Xavier gives nightcrawler the vision of the target and he locks and teleports to that location
storm should have really long hair same couler as in the third movie and same suite as in the 2nd and be the leader of the x men again and not be so usless why’ll using her power like in the other 3 movies the only good one so far is the first,the second and third were terrible!!!!
- We rebels have a theory If the X-men had prevented the death of professor, and that after their success in stopping the Alcatraz attack- then it would not have given the secret government the opportunity to advance their technology that later resulted to the total control of everything.
