Kelsey Grammer is Beast, 10 Minute Batman Begins Preview

BreakABone · 05-18-2005, 03:32 PM

Well in one of the oddest casting choice I've seen in sometime, Marvel has cast Kelsey Grammer to play Hank McCoy/The Beast in X-Men 3. Well, I'm sure Grammer's personality fits the Beast but he just doesn't look the part.

Also tonight during the 90-min Smallville Season finale there will be a 10 Minute Batman Begins PReview. From the early clips on the official site, it seems like the preview will mainly touch on Bruce's early training and maybe some footage of him as the Batman.

That's pretty cool, from Cheers, to Fraiser, to X-Men!

I can't wait to see how they transform him.

Should work with a little bit hair.

BreakABone, Frank Gorshin, the award winning Riddler of the 60's has died. Please pay your respects the next time a Batman portrayer passes on...

Wow, I wouldn't have thought to cast him m'self, but he's quite good for the part.

HOWEVER, they already had a Beast in X-Men 2.

Of course, he was still 100% human... but...

RIP Frank Gorshin. One of the best impressionists ever and a great comedian.

As for Kelsey, I am intrigued by the casting. It should be interesting to see how they pull it off. Grammar definitely fits in with Beast's intellectual side. On another note, though, Bryan Singer has left the franchise with most of the writers to do the next Superman movie, so my doubts for the quality of X-Men 3 have risen considerably.

Was that misspelling of Grammer's name one of the best puns ever or was it just a misspelling?

"Good Grammar fits in with Beast's intellectual side..."

Either way, it gave me a chuckle.

Well, I don't know what to tell you, it seems like Gambit may have been removed from the movie or the link.. welll

"And movie three features Angel, Beast, Kitty Pryde and Juggernaut. Right there you have worth the price of admission.

No mention of Gambit, but we get friggin Kitty Pryde

As for Frank Gorshin, I am sadden. He was a great Riddler, though in my opinion there has never been a bad riddler (sure a bit biase, favorite villian) but Gorshin, Carrey. the guy from both cartoons.. all good

As for the 10 min Batman Begins preview, it was good but was disappointed in Bale's Batman voice. Think I've been Conroyized.

Kelsey Grammer is a sexy beast.

He doesn't look very Beastly in this clip!

BreakABone · 05-19-2005, 06:10 PM

Well its been a good week for casting news but eh.

Well it looks like Topher Grace.. er Eric from That 70s Show has joined the cast of Spiderman 3 as.. well who knows..

I can't really put my finger on what character, he would play. Any guesses?

GameMaster · 05-20-2005, 02:12 AM

Venom? Hobgoblin? Electro?

BreakABone · 05-23-2005, 02:05 PM

Well don't know but if anyone was interested in seeing the preview.
