Jared NFS the reason is that the Mazda RX8 was a marketing tool and advertisment for Mazda, Mazda probably paid them millions to use a couple of sec or min. Just, like the Z4 BMW was in the last James Bond movie and what the Mini Cooper will be in the Italian Job. The big companies are now using movies as there advertisment now.
fitone, I understand the real reason why it was used, I was just pointing out how funny it was as far as the plot is concerend. Next thing you know, we’ll see Bond forgoing a Z8 for a Nissan Sentra.
fitone: d’oh.
Some newz: Halle is out. Singer may be stepping aside. For X3. Jackman hasn’t officially signed the dotted line, yet (and neither has Stewart). But I have no doubt that he’ll be there, as he as expressed this in recent interviews. Officialy signed on is the “Blue Crew”: Alan Cummings (Nightcrawler) and Romijn-Stamos (Mystique). Also aboard: Famke Janssen (Jean Grey). To which I say, YEAH, Dark Phoenix shall rise!
And the “youngins”: Stanford (Pyro), Paquin (Rogue), and Ashmore (Iceman). Oh, so’s Daniel Cudmore (Colossus).
I think the franchise could do well without Singer for the third one out. I have nothing against the man being gay, but I just don’t feel he shoots action well at all, he shoots everything pretty pedestrian really. You could do alot worse than Singer, and he deserves credit for starting up the franchise and dealing with a small budget/unsupportive studio for the first one, but I’d like to see him move on and a director with a premier visual style take the seat.
hey peeps
i would of got on here sooner to post but i had to wait to FINALLY watch the movie. i have to say that the movie kicked ass and also that the fight against lady death strike and wolverine was by far the most brutal fight scene i have ever seen. but the only thing i didn’t like is how she died. but i guess thats just me.
ok just had to put my 2 cents in
if that lol
