I'm under the impression Alan is a guy with a wild imagination!

Al is QUITE a card, from what I hear....sounds like he would be a blast to talk to. He is playful and has a dry, dark sense of humour from what I understand...we shall just have to wait and see.

They probably won't give Kurt hooves. Hooves don't lend themselves to wall-crawling as well as "Hand feet" do.

And the next thing you'll hear is that Nightcrawler's color has changed from blue to red, has horns, cloven hooves, batwings, and uses a pitchfork as a weapon.

They've also changed his name from "Nightcrawler" to "Satan" and put him in the Brotherhood.

Movies like to do things like that.

Yeah, back before the first movie I was trying to calm down the purits who were raving about how the movie would suck. I'd say "keep it in perspective, at least some producer didn't say 'I don't like this whole "mutants" thing, why don't we have them be aliens?' "

I am the master of quotation marks.

I had a seriously messed up dream about him (A/C) earlier!:ooh::oops::P

Exactly *how* messed up?

...said the girl who dreamed about co-starring in *and* FX directing the new Adam Sandler movie.

Kidyounot. And I don't even *like* Adam Sandler very much.

You know...we're all just speculating on how (bad) Kurt's gonna look based on leaked information...though considering some of it came from 'He Who Would Be Crawler' himself it's probably pretty accurate...but he could have been asked the same question SO many times he just wanted to freak that guy out...I mean, he's probably gotten a lot of sales from us X-Fan's...lots of fans lining up to meet 'Nightcrawler' rather than Alan Cumming...who knows how many times he'd been asked for an X-Men scoop?

But anyway...

We're all assuming the worst from what we've read...but look at Evo Kurt with his floppy hair, his scrawny body and animal feet, and Ultimate Kurt's blackness and brimestone breath...both fairly removed from the norm, and we generally all like them...

Bryan could easily put all our fears to rest by just showing us a DAMN PICTURE!!!!

i spend HOURS looking for it! gahhh i'm gonna be crazy! *pulls hair* I WANNA SEE!

Nandireya · Post by **Nandireya** » Fri Sep 13, 2002 2:55 am

Rosary beads are the newest addition to 'Crawler's arsenal...but I guess they make sense...

Booker · Post by **Booker** » Fri Sep 13, 2002 3:42 pm

Everybody keeps dwelling on all the mistakes they're making with him and how bad it's going to be. They could've not put him in the movie at all.

They could've used Strong Man. XD

Nightcrawler ZERO · Post by **Nightcrawler ZERO** » Fri Sep 13, 2002 7:19 pm

From CountingDown.com scooper 'Jason' in NYC:

I went to the book signing in New York and got a chance to speak to Alan Cumming about what Nightcrawler looks like. He said that he has tattoos all over, has pointy ears with piercings, wears yellow contacts and has hooves and a tail. He also said you'll definitely see the tattoos in the movie.

Seems to line up with all the previous reports, but the hooves are a new twist! Thanks to our NYC scooper 'Jason' for the heads up!
*pulls hair* MRRRAAAGH

Why don't we just bombard Fox with email until they release a photo? It won't work, but it's fun to be obnoxious to movie execs.

InterNutter · Post by **InterNutter** » Fri Sep 13, 2002 10:25 pm

Sounds like a plan. What's their e?

kurtlover · Post by **kurtlover** » Fri Sep 13, 2002 10:39 pm

yes Garble...WTF
Hooves and.............priesthood! arg!kaff!

From coming atracctions:September 12, 2002... Two days ago Alan Cumming was a guest on The Caroline Rhea Show and he mentioned X-Men 2. The actor said the makeup process was horrible to go through, and that in one recent shoot, it took him 12 hours just to get prepared in makeup. That day the application took longer because Nightcrawler's chest needed to be visible. Cumming joked around, saying he was feeling extremely "gassy" throughout the whole make-up process and shoot that day and his co-star Halle Berry was in danger of being fatally "gassed" when, in one of that day's scenes, Storm has to rub an injured Nightcrawler's belly. Cumming quickly added that he might have given too much away by mentioning that he's injured in the movie.

And he mentioned Nightcrawler's tail as well. Since he was on the show to promote his new book, Tommy's Tale, Cumming made a small comment about now being familiar with what it's like to deal with a tail. [Scoop sent in by 'The Ditz'; originally appeared on The Caroline Rhea Show.]

Since Alan is being a little more forthcoming about details for his character, Coming Attractions can also now say that Nightcrawler will definitely be seen holding rosary beads in the movie. As longtime comic book fans know, Nightcrawler is a practicing Catholic; in fact, he's enrolled in the priesthood at the present time in Uncanny X-Men.

We can also tell you that this week the production has been filming scenes involving a dogfight between F-16s and the X-Jet. Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore and Aaron Stanford are all inside the cockpit along with the stunt-double for Nightcrawler, Kirk Caouette. Why are the fighter jets trying to take out the X-Jet? Hey, that's a good question. ['Monkey Rose', deep undercover operative, at the controls.]

From the land of reason...and NOT:

Hooves. Suck. But hooves: Will they be "reverse-jointing" his legs, ala our pal Ridley's The Lord of Darkness and, to a more limited but still related visual extent, Evo-Kurt? If so, awkward. And ouch.

Hooves. Again: suck. But again, hooves. Voice of Reason thinks, Ah, that way, "they" won't have to blow so much doughage on "wallcrawler" CGI.

Hooves. You know the next word. Anyway, again: hooves. Will he clop? Gee, I hope so. Nothing like living in the shadows with wit, stealth, and clop.

Hooves. Everyone now: S**K!!!. And hooves. This might be the thing that gets my tiny reptilian mind to believing irretrievably that "Usual Suspects" was a fluke.

But wait, there's more. Completely unsolicited Advice for Alan Cumming:

Things that fall with a resounding thud into the category More Than We Needed to Know #1: Gassy. Good for you.

Advice re: #1: He juices. So do I. To curtail your role as a public utility and/or refinery, might I suggest limiting your intake of apple and spinach juice. Ahem.

More Than We Needed to Know #2: In last week's The Week, in the Tabloid section, Mr. Cumming discusses french-kissing a chimpanzee on the set of "Buddy." I kid you not. But as it was, and is, a print item, I can provide no link for the strong of stomach. The New York Post ran the bit originally. Take it as you will. The Week did run a very civil picture of Mr. Cumming in a white suit that illustrated the virtues of shoulder padding.

Gotta go work. A chimp. Uhhh....

Ok, so now I'm out of the loop. I haven't been reading up and so I'm looking at the posts and getting rather confused.

I think I may just stop reading and be surprised about what happens in the movie.

little Blue Lucy · Post by **little Blue Lucy** » Sat Sep 14, 2002 1:33 am

You may be surprised anyway. Everything so far is pretty much speculatory.

I agree about the hoof thing. But it is just speculation.

I hope the toy is OK, though...Like the current Spidey thing...

little Blue Lucy · Post by **little Blue Lucy** » Sat Sep 14, 2002 1:50 am

I haven't been to a toy store in ages!
They don't have any comic based movie action figures in any of the comic shops I go to.
