Stardust Director Matthew Vaughn Blasts Brett Ratner’s X-Men 3: The Last Stand!
In a recent interview discussing his film Stardust, Matthew Vaughn, once attached as director of X-Men 3, says that his version would have been “one hundred times better” than Brett Ratner’s film.
Vaughn told John Hiscock of the Telegraph:
"It was a tough decision because it was a hell of an opportunity. But I was trying to make a career as a director, and I didn't want to be the guy accused of making a bad X-Men movie. As it happens, I could have made something a hundred times better than the film that was eventually made. It sounds arrogant, but I could have done something with far more emotion and heart.”
Vaughn went on to say that his decision to drop the Fox film, “…could have been a death knell.” While Vaughn may be on the “outs” with Fox, Hollywood is clamoring for more. Vaughn is slated to direct Marvel Comics’ Thor, which is currently in pre-production; it is expected to be released in 2009, though no official date has been set.
