Grammer To Play Blue Beast in 'X-Men 3'
Fans of Kelsey Grammer are set to find him tough to recognize in his next project - he's playing a furry blue monster in the second X-Men sequel. In X-Men 3, the former Frasier star will play oversized mutant Beast, who has not yet appeared in any of the franchise's installments. While there has been a shocked reaction to Grammer's casting, producers of the movie insist he's the perfect choice for the part - because Beast is the most intelligent of all the mutants. Snatch star Vinnie Jones is also set to undergo a huge image overhaul when he plays villainous Juggernaut in the movie. His character is a 900 pound metal-clad battering ram. The sci-fi series stars Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn. The movie, to be directed by Matthew Vaughn, is set to debut in May next year.

Bossk: I read this yesterday. Definitely an interesting choice. I'll be interested to see if Grammer can succeed in anything besides Frasier. He's such a talented actor it's hard to believe he can't make something else work.
Fine by me with the movies thread.
Look for Sin City on DVD in August, and there's also talk of Rodriguez doing two sequels, which is good news, in my book.
I'd like to see Gaiman's Sandman go to film, or even an anthology tv series based on the comics. Think that would be cool. I'm just finishing up Volume 2: The Doll's House. Hopefully the quality will remain as good as it is now.
I've heard that WB is going to get the Batman and Superman franchises back on their feet, then do the vaunted Batman vs Superman movie. I wish they'd adapt Dark Knight returns.
