Lauren Shuler Donner has to be one of the most powerful women in Hollywood who flies just under the radar so most people don't even know it.
She has a countless amount of high profile projects under her belt and in the works including two favorites from the new X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE film, Deadpool and Gambit.
IESB caught up with Donner during the press day for the newest X-MEN film in Beverly Hills this past weekend for an exclusive video interview.
Gambit, she says is one of her favorite characters, he's "such a rogue."
Will we see Gambit in the upcoming X-MEN FIRST CLASS film? Nope, we won't see Gambit in that, he wasn't part of Xavier's first class a the school, but it looks like we may be seeing him in his own spin off film.
Donner says, "There are internal discussions" about a Gambit spin-off and "they are going to figure all that out."
What about bringing back X-MEN and X2 director Bryan Singer for another go around?
"Nothing would please me more than to bring Bryan [Singer] on for another movie. And, if it's like the first Deadpool or the first Gambit, I think, I mean, I hope he would be interested..."
Looks like the X-MEN franchise isn't going anywhere and still has a few tricks up her sleeve.
Deadpool and Gambit are coming if Lauren Shuler Donner has her way, and she usually does.

I like Bryan Singer, I do. He did good work on X2 and Usual Suspects and I even like Valkerie. But I don't see him fitting at all for a Deadpool film, not even slightly. You need someone both very visionary, and yet possibly totally crazy at the same time to direct a film like that.
Deadpool is violent, profane, and utterly crazy (that is if they fix him at some point at the end of the current film or for this spin-off), and I can't see Singer bringing that comedic edge to the violence.
You need someone more willing to take risks, do something over the top once in a while. The director from Wanted (the plot was suspect but that kind of action and humor mixed with breaking the fourth wall would fit him very well), Robert Rodriguez though he's busy enough as it is, just people along those lines of thinking. You definately can't go with a conventional director with a character like that.
Singer is much better with darker, subdued film-making in my opinion. X2 was the best of the X-Men series because it stuck with what he's better at, which was simultaneously one of the many reasons Superman Returns sucked, too much of an X-Men feel (hit had many other problems but that's going off topic).
Deadpool just can't be counted in the same style as anything X-Men; X-Men is serious mutant=racial drama mixed with heavy action. Deadpool should only have MAYBE 10% drama and that's being gracious. "At last, we shall have our revenge". Darth Maul

Caboose: Your a thing that babies suck on....
Tucker: No dude, you mean a pedophile.
Church: Tucker, I think he means a pacifier.
Tucker: Oh...yeah....right....man my mind was totally somewhere else.
Church:.....that's real classy Tucker..... |

Lauren Shuler Donner is to the X-Men franchise what Jon Peters has been to the Superman franchise. Dead weight with no clue.
As for Singer doing a good job with the first 2 X-Men films, he left out some of the most important characters, changed Jean to the doctor instead of Beast, royally screwed up ages, made Iceman the love of Rogue's life instead of Gambit so we're now being stuck with his poor involvement in Wolverine, the struggle of the mutants became is sounding board for homosexual's struggle to be accepted, etc etc etc....
I could tear his X-Men films apart for days.
If Hugh Jackman didn't do such a good job as Wolverine, the franchise would have died in my mind after I saw the first film. It was not the X-Men I had been waiting to see for so many years. A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves." - Edward R. Murrow

Ya know Emi, I think everyone here or atleast us wolverine fans know how ****ing confusing wolverine and sabertooth's past is in the comics. From Clarmont wanting him to be his father, to Loeb making a new "first meeting" for them in japan, from SHEILD proving there not related, to Creed having implanted memories, to Dog representing sabertooth to te point where it makes you wonder, to how incredibly psycotic he is.
You also forget, this is a prequel to the first 3 x-men films, you have to follow what they set up. This film so far is trying to have more comic elements then the first 3 did. I'm mean all X2 did was take a storyline an alter characters. I'm still shocked how no one says **** about Stryker.
I like Sabertooth and Wolverine being half bothers, in this film as you can see, Dog is Sabertooth.
Ya know maybe thats just me, I have my own personal look as to what Creed is, and it's not his brother. For me, I think his mind is so warped that he sees wolverine as just a weaker version of himself and chooses to fight him and runing his life. It's more like an animal thing, considering he embraces it. And for me, his point of existing is to show wolverine what he will or might become. And I think Sabertooth's goal is to make Wolverine like him. Kind of like how Joker is the happy ****ed up side of batman, and his goal is to make him as crazy as he is, or the world is. Thats why I LOVE SABERTOOTH AND WOLVERINE
