Alan Cumming, back to b'way in '06?

When discussing the filming of X-Men 3, he said:
"I signed for two films, so I'm going to. The last I heard is that we're starting on the 20th of June, but they don't have a script or a director yet so that may be pushed a little bit. But they have to release it in May of 2006 for some reason so it's gonna be shot in the summer," Cumming said.

"And it's one of these things, I kind of just want to know I'm going to do it cause it affects your whole life. You can do other things cause you know that it's a large amount of time; I'm going to a show on Broadway which I moved to January of next year just to make sure I finished X-Men…Every film you do you have to tell them just in case they're going to get it together really fast. You're under some options; it's quite weird."

Any Alan Cumming fans out there? Alan Cumming, back to b'way in '06?

I love Alan Cumming! Yay for his return! And WOOHOOO for a 3rd X-men movie, he is a fabulous nightcrawler!

Not really. He said that he thought Bryan was very talented and a good filmmaker, he just didn't enjoy working with him, that's all. I'd hardly call that a diss.
Word. Word, indeed.

Let's hope so. I saw a poster of "Son of the Mask" starring Alan Cumming. It made me sad.

Yeah really, the whole Spy Kids thing and Son of the Mask is almost depressing....a waste of his talent if you ask me

Isn't he rumored to be connected to the Roundabout production of "Threepenny Opera" next year (which was, in fact, postponed from this season)? Perhaps that's the Broadway commitment he's referring to.

I'd love to see him back on the stage.

I know I am out of the loop but who is he playing in X-men?

Me too! On the subject of Nightcrawler, there is a documentary in the special features of the 2nd movie of his makeup process. Its really interesting.

I am an IDIOT! How could I NOT realize that was him!! Guess I am not used to seeing him as blue and with a tail.

hahaha. Dont worry, I didnt recognize him either til I read the credits at the end. Though I love the intricate blue tattoos all over his body.

He was good as Nightcrawler. There are quite a few stage actors in that movie other than Alan - Patrick Stewart, Ian Mckellan, Brian Cox, I think Anna Paquin, and of course Hugh J.

This info about Alan and X-3 has been all over the web since everyone is patiently waiting to hear when filming will start, and any X-Men actor they come across usually gets asked the question. Anyway, here's one of the articles (with a picture of Alan as Nightcrawler). It's amazing how many Broadway actors appear in this franchise, as Jo mentioned.
