Exclusive: X-Men Producer Explains What Films Will Influence Gambit
https://screenrant.com/x-men-gambit-movie-influences/
"I think with the standalone movies, meaning Logan and Deadpool. Not mainline, X-Men movies, one of the things we've strived to do is sort of create a sub-genre within the genre of the superhero movie. Obviously Deadpool was like a R-rated comedy. Logan was very much a western. And, so we talked a lot about who Gambit is. And it's always motivated by the character is. We talked a lot about who Gambit is as a character and the things that Channing [Tatum] relates to in the character. And so obviously he's a thief, obviously you know his superpowers, those things are going to be very present and prevalent in the movie. But he's also a scoundrel, and a rascal, and a womanizer, and a lot of other things that we felt like we could explore in his relationships with women and one of the genres that is underserviced genre now is the romantic comedy. So whenever we can smuggle some other genre into one of these kinds of movies... I mean I did it with...The first movie I ever wrote was Mr. and Mrs. Smith and that was a romantic comedy smuggled into a spy thriller. In the same way that on the surface it will be a superhero movie with you know. People love superpowers and things are going to explode and there's going to be car chases and all of that. Doing all the powers and cards that you are familiar with. Underneath that will be romantic comedy undercurrents and it's not really like Rom-coms from when we were growing up. Or when I was growing up. It's more going back to like Philadelphia Story and His Girl Friday and just the kind of pattern banter of that and the fun and speed of those kinds of movies."
i want anything soon. if Fox is still making this i want more then promises of Directers. and a script. i want casting and a production start date. being in development hell sucks. im glad its not pulled but i hope it fares better then Dark Phoenix
X-Men Forever
If you look at my posts before now I was super hyped for this movie and was 100% behind Tatum as Remy, I thought he was going nail it. The project has dragged on for too long and no one seems to be able to stay committed to the projects direction for any amount of time
L'Enfer !
Never thought about that... What director is going to carve out time from their schedule to dedicate to a movie that might not happen due to the studio being dissolved? Yeah, the director would get a severance package (they'd get paid, but only a piece of it), but they'd also have to pass on anything else for at least a year. These jobs are scheduled months, if not a year or two in advance. So, I wouldn't count on any "name" directors signing onto this. That goes for cast and crew. Same position. To take this job, they'd have to pass on others, which is fine when the studio isnt about to be eaten by another. I think this is why we've havent heard a thing from anyone else other than Kinberg. I don't think anyone else is willing to sign on for something that's this nebulous.

It's hard for me to listen to someone not in my position. A caterpillar can't relate to what an eagle envisions.
Deadpool dragged on for over a decade. No saying it will get made but ya'll too focused on every little tid bit and noise. Might as well not worry about it until you hear it starts filming if at all. That is what I did with Deadpool and it avoids all he angst over stuff being in production hell for a long time.

is this movie still happening now that the merger is soon to be final in the next few months? I thought only dp and new mutants was surely happening since this movie didnt have a committed director. did something change?
