Found this on The Internet Movie Database yesterday:
Ratner Spices Up 'X-Men'
Brett Ratner is spicing up the new X-Men 3 movie with the addition of his very own fantasy - a sex siren mutant who seduces her opponents rather than battles them. Ratner takes over from departing director Bryan Singer, who made the first two movies, and the Rush Hour film maker is determined to leave his mark on the comic book series. The new mutant has not yet been cast but unknowns Kate Nauta and Aya Sumika will reportedly audition. A source tells Pagesix.com the mutant will be, "An unbelievably hot and sexy hooker. Her super power is that she secretes a pheromone that helps her to seduce men. She can seduce anyone." The source adds of the auditions, "They are open to all ethnicities who are in their early-to-mid 20s."
I just... don't even know what to say. Any hope I ever had about a Singer-less sequel being watchable was just flushed down the toilet along with my bitter, bitter tears.
First off, I couldn't care less what his fantasy is, as a matter of fact it makes me feel kinda dirty. This is a movie from an established franchise with hundreds of characters to pick from and he wants to make one up, not to mention his own personal little wet dream of an underaged-looking prostitue! This isn't fucking Sin City, okay? Want to jerk off to a comic book, Mr. Ratner? They're plenty of others that would suit your needs. Get you cum the fuck off the pages of my nice, PG-13 book!
Secondly, the aforementioned hundreds of characters fans are waiting to see onscreen. Yeah, probably not gonna happen. And any hopes I had for Gambit appearing? *fllllushhhhh!* As for sexing it up (one wonders what he thought Halle Berry, Famke Janssen or certainly Rebecca Romijn were doing in the other two) I've noticed that neither Anna Paquin, who would be returning as Rogue, and Maggie Grace, who would be appearing for the first time as Kitty, are to be found on the confirmed cast list.
Thirdly, ew!
Hopefully Avi arad will have something to say about all this though I can't help but blame Jackman (gotta love him, he's so cute and sweet!) for bringing Ratner aboard in the first place. I was already dubious about him producing the movie and if he thinks this is what X-Fans want to see, my fears were just confirmed.
Peace, Ghani
EDIT: Apparently the character is canon mutant Stacy X, who I must admit, even being the X-fanatic that I am, had no clue whatsoever who she was and neither did a great many fans on the superherohype.com fanboards! All agree though: NO!
