more bad X-MEN 3 news...
Other than the casting of Kelsey Grammer as Beast, I have been hearing nothing but horrible things about this project. Today just kind of topped it:
From alancumming.com:
"EX X MAN!! Alan will NOT be appearing in X3. Fox has not picked up his option to play Nightcrawler for a second movie."
Crap.
What that means, basically, is that Alan Cumming would have been glad to reprise his role as Nightcrawler (one of, if not THE best thing about X2)but Fox said no because A) The character has been written out of the series (which is bad) or b)they're going to re-cast the role (which is worse).
