The hiring of Fuqua might be a signal this will be less of a historical epic and yet another highly choreographed martial arts picture like Crouching Tiger or Red Cliff.

saw this on one of an Asian site was most shocked. This will certainly be an interesting challenge for him since it's sort of out of the scope of what he does normally bbbuuuttttt maybe he can do it well

@Alice Wilson, yeah just like Happy Birthday Roboto said, I didn't like the X-men movies as a whole (however I did enjoy X2 purely as an action movie, but in no way an X-men movie)

 

I kinda sorta understand what Singer was doing? I guess... but it just didn't work for me. I know their comic book costumes would have looked silly, but dressing them all in the same black and bland leather suits with no individual personality didn't sit well with me, just lazy design. Storm and Cyclops were given NOTHING to do. Rogue's character was completely changed for no reason and the Ice Man love interest was so random.

 

I thought they did a great job with casting, but the whole move was misguided. You could hand pick any of the characters and place them along side that G.I Joe movie and you wouldn't be able to tell any difference.

asians are only intresting to hollywood if they can do some kind of physical performance, wheather it be martial arts, geisha dancing, sword or gun fighting. I look forward to the day when films are being made in america about average joes and janes that just happen to be asian. I'm sick and tired of ever everyman character having the smae exact look and race. Bradley Cooper, matt damon, brad pitt, george clooney, and the list goes on and on. America's supposed to be a melting pot yet none of that is reflected into our movies.

@Alice Wilson

CHEEZYSPAM has a mad on for Bryan Singer, don't worry about it, I think he's an excellent director.

Cheezyspam: What was wrong with Singer's X-Men's?

CONFUCIUS AIN'T GOT SHIT ON MEEE.

 

I don't think Fuqua is a one hit wonder. Tears of the Sun isn't bad, and he certainly has talent. I think the whole reason he wants to do something like this is so he can actually be considered for good scripts, not just action/crime-oriented scripts. He's trying to branch out, I can dig that.

This director is just another example of the early in his career 1-hit wonder. He did Training Day. AWESOME movie... and has been riding that success with shitty movie after shitty movie.

 

Other examples,

Paul W.S. Anderson - Event Horizon

Bryan Singer - Usual Suspects

Robert Kelly - Donnie Darko
