X-Men Shoot begins 2013

All for Hunger Games

There appears to be a resolution to the question of whether 20th Century Fox and Lionsgate will fight over the services of in-demand actress Jennifer Lawrence.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Fox is informing talent agencies Thursday that the studio plans to begin shooting its in-development sequel to X-Men: First Class in January. That means Lionsgate could move forward with an August-September start date for the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire without a conflict for Lawrence, who is set to star in both. 

As THR previously reported, tensions between the studios were running high last month as Fox was considering filming the Matthew Vaughn-directed X-Men follow-up in the fall, potentially conflicting with Lionsgate's plans for Hunger Games. Fox, which cast Lawrence as the shape-shifting character Mystique in Summer 2010, months before Lionsgate chose her to play Katniss Everdeen in March 2011, has the right to exercise the option on her contract if it conflicts with another Hunger Games. That's true even though Lawrence is part of a large ensemble in X-Men but is the clear star of the Hunger Games franchise.

Fox's acquiescence isn't a total win for Liosngate. One source says the Hunger Games studio would have liked to "hold" all the actors for seven months in connection with shooting Catching Fire. But that lengthy demand (typical holds are months shorter) is said to have been dropped amid complaints by interested parties, including Fox.

Just saw this again recently and found myself cracking up at this scene:

Mystique: "dont you think im beautiful??"

Professor X: "UUUUGGGHHHH hell no..... you're disgusting..... change back to your human form and stop embarrassing youself...... uuuuugghhhhh"

hahahah....Well those weren't the exact words, but that's how it came off to me. I thought the Prof. was supposed to be the good guy.....

As we learned from First Class, in the early days young Xavier was a cocky playa. So be it!

Wiseguy 4/6/2012 9:03:01 AM

Meh, I don't get excited for X films anymore. Still a must see just no real anticipation until they announce a complete reboot.

But I care less for Hunger Games or its sequels.

Btw, I can't be the only one that doesn't think JL is that attractive. She's sort of cute and chubby but not top echelon Hollywood beautiful

I Agree with Wiseguy - JL is not the new hotness but she ain't the old and busted either (see what I did there? Snuck in a little MIB2) and to be honest when I was watching Hunger Games with my kid I completely forgot that she was Mystique, I guess no blue skin threw me off.

I look forward to a new X movie rather thank a new Hunger Games

 JL? I'd hit it. Twice. But I can tell she doesn't have lasting beauty like Halle Berry or Charlize Theron or Catherine Zeta Jones. They have been hot for years. I give Jenny L. 3 years and it's down hill from there.

no immidiate interest for both new x-men or HG2 so...whatever, Fox is still annihilating what the X-Men were anyway so, why bother.

Two demons in Hollywood Hell screaming at each from across the fiery pits and tormented souls:

Demon 1: Jennifer is mine! She belongs to me body and soul!

Demon 2: Perhaps my cloven-hoofed brother, but she actually signed with me FIRST. I have her signature right her in blood!

Demon 1: Damn your soul!!!

Demon 2: Too late!!!

They both break into riotous laughter!

JL is HELLA HOT, I like that she's not the typical Hollywood hot like Wiseguy compares her to. That is her draw. Great hips... Something to hold onto... She's hot.

AND Just saw HG last night finally, LOVED IT!!!! I don't see how you can let your sence of "I don't like what everybody else likes" deter you fr4om enjoying that story... So GOOD

ALSO, I'm a HUGE fan of the X-Films (especially 1&2, except I hate  Wolverine... didn't like Wolverine one bit) but I think I like First Class best of all... Proffesor X is a JERK, as Kitty Pryde once said. He's always been a jerk, and that movie played it all perfectly... Can't wait for the Sophomore year

 JL is on the high side of average to me. Too every day looking to be hot.

As VinJoy alluded to, JL is sexy because she's young. She'll turn into your mom in a few short years.
