On one of Polish portals there was a news that there are gonna be movies about single X-Men characters. According to this, first two would be "Wolverine" with Hugh Jackman and "Storm" with Halle Berry. has anyone heard/read something about it, too? What'd ya think about it?

Not that I know...
The one with Jackman, if they make it, will be first, i think.

I believe Hound is referring to X-men which practically was about Wolverine and Rogue.

Movie about Wolverine could be something but Storm? She got minimum character in the movie so I don't see anyone being really interester to see her in her own movie.

Hugh Jackman makes a horrible wolverine. I mean, Logan made Canadians look tough... but... Jackman just makes ya'll look like pansies again j/k

I thought Jackman did a good job, but his Australian accent surfaced a few times in the movie. They should have had him spend a year in Canada to get the accent down. If he survived it, he'd make a much better Wolvy.

dunno, Wolverine was short, pissed off and really hairy... Jackman seemed constipated when he tried to act scary.

Stupid me, didn't get it.

Yess, "Storm" movie is not a good idea, I don't see what it could be about?

And, it was written that these two would be first two. I can see a Cable movie...

Storm didn't really work as a mini-series, so I don't see a movie being especially good... though it'd do aokay at the box-office off Halle. It's just be a vehicle, though.

I think Halle Berry would do better by making a spin-off movie about Jinx, her character in James Bond.

I think they should concentrate on making a GOOD x-men movie, instead of making a bunch of spinoffs. Character pieces are good for people who are actually interested in movies that deal with human interaction. The general movie going public, which is Marvel's target audience, only wants to see a mix of action and comedy with no real character development. So Marvel should just stick to the classic epic plotlines and leave charcter pieces to good filmakers.
