Last Stand is Last X-Men?
February 16, 2006 Comments
Fans hoping for another X-Men movie to follow Brett Ratner's The Last Stand will be disappointed by the director's words in a recent interview, where he claims the series has become a trilogy:
Well, it seems to be the last of the series. We wanted to make sure the audiences knew that this was a trilogy. Even though they weren't made together like 'Lord of the Rings,' this is really closure for the X-Men series. ... This is the last stand for sure.
It sounds to me like Ratner's just being cocky. He doesn't really know it will be the last, he just thinks it should be since he feels he finished it off so well. I always think the same thing when I've "finished" with a girl, but that's never the case. She'll invariably tell me, "Finished what? We didn't have sex," and I'll smile back, hoping she'll at least describe what it's like.
I think the article also includes some new pictures in a slideshow, but who can tell anymore?
