Did anyone else think this project was X-Men related?


Because I sure did... and was really excited about it until I read the description and found out it had nothing to do with everyone's favourite Cajun X-Man. So yeah, just wondering.

If I hadn't gone through Jennifer Anistons filmography page to get here I probably would've thought it was Marvels Gambit.

That's pretty pathetic.

reply

Yeah..for about 5 seconds, then I sobered up. : (

reply

Heh, I came here through one of the Coen brother's pages. I already thought it was hard to believe that the Coen Brothers would do an X-Men flick, but ya never know with these guys. Turns out I was right though and this isn't X-Men related at all.

reply

He's also going to be in a movie called The Colossus.

reply

...which also has Ian McKellan in it. I swear to god Hollywood is just out to confuse us comic fans, haha.

yeah and what the hell!

So does anybody use playing cards as weapons in this?

reply

I hopr so that's the signature power there, I hope some other X-men would be there.

this feels odd writing about a comic in a drama blog that's how misled I was when I saw Half life on this site coming in 2006(lol)

for like 30 seconds i was like "yaaaa". i hated the 3rd xmen, i thot it was rather poor compared 2 the other 2.. until i found out that the writer or special effects person (cant remember hoo exactly) for the first 2 had left 2 do superman takin with him most of his crew... go figure. aaaanyways, i was entirely excited b/c i was REALLI dissapointed that gambit was not in the 3rd xmen movie, no instead they put the Angel character (i swear the 12 seconds of screen time and 5 lines made him look and sound extremely gay...was it just me?) and the stupid kitty. but im not here 2 rant about that.

anyways, i thot they wood do a movie entirely about gambit and was happi...until i read the summary. i was life wtf. lol

reply

I was like 'Gambit...from XMen???'. Then I read it and was like 'darn!!'

reply

LOL.. yep that's me. I was like holy *beep* Gambit...then I read the damn description. Go figure, it would seem a little odd that Jennifer Aniston would have something to do with an X-Men spinoff.

I saw Gambit I was like 'finally' click then 'no!!'. It trick us..actually life tricks us. I am so mad.

reply

reply

reply

reply

ill admit for a second i clicked on it, but only becuase i had heard rumours that there were talks of a 4th movie with gambit in it, wondering why she would be in it

reply

I thought it was about Marvel's mutant...the greatest.

reply

I went to Colin Firth's page, and was about to press "Back" when I saw Gambit. Hey, they're doing "Magneto" and "Wolverine", so why not? But I was disapointed when I read the description.

So dark the con of man...

yeah i did... i came through ben kingsley's page and was very excited indeed

if you cant do it right, just dont bother

reply

Yup I thought it was X-men related! I came in through Colin's page though and was so confused trying to figure out what he would be doing in an X-men related film. And when I saw Kingsley I thought for sure it was real. But unfortunatley not!

reply

I heard they where making a Gambit movie so I did a search this one seamed the most likely then I read the description and realized it wasn't.

reply

yayy at first sight , i though , yepeee! my favourite character on x men finally come! but then .. (_ _)! yeah.. as i saw the genre: comedy.. it surely not like i was expected..not even close =p

reply

i thought it mite of been now im upset tht its not lol

reply

Hell yeah! Why do they do that? Some stupid executive knows about comics and does crap like that just to piss off the masses. Damn!

There is no escape. Don't make me destroy You!

yeah, i felt retarded until i saw everyone else. then i though, hahaha, everyone else is retarded too!

PARTY AT THE MOON TOWER!

reply

Yeah I did, I was wondering what role Jennifer was playing.lol I was so hyped and excited, then I read the description for the movie:( This would have been interesting if Jennifer Aniston was playing in a comic book movie.

reply

haha yeah i did too. sucks ass that it isn't. They better make more x-men movies (i.e: x-4, x-5) none of that gay wolverine/magneto spinoff stuff, and they BETTER put gambit in it !!!! lol

reply

wasnt gonna post but yes i was fooled... they shud stick wif the cast, may b have cameos and make a gambit spinoff
b pretty cool- jennifer anniston cud b a whole new Rogue
and Ben Kingsley as Prof. X
2 an extent id say stan lee is starting to let his fans down..

reply

I think Colin Firth might even make a good Gambit... then again, i'be never heard his french accent....

i loved gambit and then i read it and was like

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well you get my point but anyway gambit rules and so now i am gonna cry

reply

This is *beep* Don't people when they make movies think to themselves "Is this title going to piss anybody off? Like COMIC BOOK READERS, a HUGE current film-cult" *beep*

reply

Haha, wow. I really dont think they were trying to piss off any of you comic book fans. Gambit is a remake of a heist movie called Gambit from the 60's starring Michael Caine. Watched it on AMC the other day and it was actually very enjoyable.

reply

I sure did!! damnit!

reply

Yep I'm guilty too.
I was looking through the birthdays on the home page and noticed Lisa Bonet and I said, "Haven't seen her in a while; wonder what she's up too." So I go to her profile and it says Gambit(2006) and I'm like, "Holy crap! I gotta see this." I clike on the link and was very disapointed. :(

I wanna see a Gambit movie!!!!!!

reply

I was doing a google search on Gambit and it came up on this and I jumped up in my seat and squealed until I read the description oh well, THIS *beep* SUCKS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
