Emma Frost Movie Mulled
The White Queen could get her own film as part of the X-Men spin-off effort.
Look for Emma Frost (X-Men's White Queen) to possibly get her own movie, according to USA Today.
The newspaper outlined planned X-spin offs including Magneto and Wolverine solo flicks:
"The first spinoff will be Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. His character has an as-yet-unrevealed back story in which researchers replaced his original bones with a metal skeleton. Jackman has signed on to star and co-produce, and X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner says it will likely head into production next year."
"We've also talked about doing something on the kids in (Professor X's) school, focusing on their lives, and less of a global adventure for the team," says Hutch Parker, production president of 20th Century Fox.
"The studio is also exploring a movie with Three Kings director David O. Russell based on the character of Emma Frost, a sexy mutant telepath who can transform her skin into diamonds. She is an X-Men comics regular but was not featured in the movies.
"Another likely solo project: Magneto, also in the script phase. The film will focus on his youthful pre-villain days, Shuler Donner says," according to USA Today.
"Though it would require a younger actor for those sequences, she says the film would need Ian McKellen to anchor the flashbacks. 'What's a Magneto movie without Ian?' she asks."
