LAUREN SHULER DONNER talks about Wolverine While in LA to promote her latest film, "Unaccompanied Minors", Producer Lauren Shuler Donner also talked about her other
Hugh said that he would need 4 months to bulk up and he's thinking maybe January or February of next year. Any chance of a whole year of X Men sequels and spin offs? Did you expect what you got out of X Men and what it has become? LSD: In our wildest dreams we wanted it to be a franchise. We wanted it to be able to spin-off. There's 40 years of comics but I will tell you, we never previewed it and there was a day when Bryan [Singer], myself, our editor and, I think Tom Rothman was in the room, and we all looked at each other and said, “We'll never work again.” Because, we didn't know what we had… Tom Rothman had mentioned that even though X3 was the last of that ensemble of mutants, what of Gambit, any chance for a movie with him and what else is in the future? LSD: Probably, the reason we didn't use Gambit was because in a sense his persona is a bit like Wolverine in that he's got attitude and his power is not quite as exciting as the others. That's why we went to Nightcrawler on X2 because he looked different than everybody else and he had a great power. So yes, I think we would weave Gambit into our story, but it wouldn't be “The Gambit Movie.” I love him and remember in “Lost” there was a guy in there that was the perfect Gambit, the guy with the stray hair, he's good-looking, the bad boy, Sawyer [Josh Holloway]… Is there a Constantine sequel in the works? LSD: Yes, with Keanu [Reeves]. We have been working with a team of writers for a story and yes, we will. We are really going to go for it, it will be a hard R and Keanu will be in it. The area that we found is great…it will be outside of America. It will be a different director but Francis [Lawrence] will produce it, we will maintain his vision.
