The trials and tribulations of a major comic book storyline
I read this little fact on the internet, and I was apalled. Actually, that is skipping ahead. I read in a friend's Livejournal that Halle Barrie
has decided that she will not sign on for X-3.
So, Storm will be written out. Apparently the reason, as reported, was that the movie will finish up the Wolverine story Arc and Storm doesn't have a bunch of lines. Not that she had many in X-2. Halle, who won a academy award for Monster's Ball, was quoted as saying " I am a actress ,and I don't do bit parts."
Ummm, so you got paid a bunch of money to flash your tits in a movie. And, a award for being the better of a cast of horrible actors. You know, walking away from it now would be silly. Storm was NEVER a major character in the story lines. As a fan of the X-Men back in the dark days of comics, Storm was really a extra character.
" Maybe I'll be back. I just don't think that there are enough lines for my character." If you followed the comics, you all know that in the Phoenix Saga, Storm is strictly second page. The question is, to perserve the movie as it is, will Brian Singer re-write more lines for Storm? I hope not. that kind of attitude is silly. And I'm sure it has ended more than one career in Hollywood. BUT...Halle is lucky..there are few well-reconized black actresses in Hollywood. So, we'll have to see.
I for one will still be in line, Storm or no Storm
