Here's an interesting interview with director Matthew Vaughn on X-Men 3. Key bit:
Matthew Vaughn's Stamp on X-Men 3: “I think fantasy should all be based in reality, and then it becomes believable. You have to be able to relate to the characters. X-men was pretty good because you saw the flaws and the conflict that they’re going through, but I think that conflict needs to be expanded on. I wanted the villains to be less [cartoony]. At the moment, I think a lot of moustache twirling happened in the last films. I want to get rid of that and make the villains really scary and more realistic.”
Matthew Vaughn's Gritty X-Men 3: “Gritty doesn’t mean violent. I liked how Joss Whedon dealt with everything. That’s more of my sentiment.” But it does mean as little CGI as possible. “I hate CGI. I’m trying to do everything in camera. Listen, there are times you have to use CGI, but I want to do as much in camera as possible. I’m a gamer, I like video games and when I watch movies, I feel like half the time you’re watching an extended sequence on a game. You just switch off.”
Excellent. Via WHEDONesque.
