For those who like the X-Men movies, check this out...

Writer/director Joss Whedon (the upcoming Wonder Woman) has commented on rumors that his "Firefly" and "Serenity" star Summer Glau is up for the role of Kitty Pryde in X-Men 3, now that "Lost" star Maggie Grace is no longer on board. Whedon posted the following on the "Serenity" official site's message board:

Summer did read for Kitty in X3. I know because she called me and mentioned she was going to and did I know anything about the character (there were no 'sides' to study -- they had to get them when they came in). So the girl I turned into sort of a superhero in my movie was going to read for the character that most influenced ALL my girl-heroes, Kitty Pryde. Karmically funky. Anyhoo, she called me after and said it was very emotional and kind of like when she read for FIREFLY, she just got into a very intense groove. She started telling me about the scene she read and that's when I realized WHY it was kind of like she read for FIREFLY. 'Cause (as you may know) it was a scene I wrote for Astonishing X-Men issue #5. I assume they just didn't have sides ready and used that but this was like a karmic moebius strip, it was just too folded in on itself. In this time of odd, I turned to beer. (No I didn't. Stay in school.)

I don't know what the X-peeps are looking for -- or even if that other girl has really dropped out -- but for my money, Summer would make a wonderful Kitty. (And I don't say that lightly.) As long as it doesn't interfere with SERENITY II: RICARDO MONTALBAN'S STILL PISSED -- or, much more importantly, SERENITY III: SO VERY NUDE.

I think this would be so very cool...

Heh heh! I do so relate to Joss's words of wisdom!

I REALLY like Maggie Grace. ALOT. Even so, it's good to see that River....umm, Summer is getting her due attention. I must confess, I'm not very learned in the ways of X-Men(much beyond what I've seen from the movies ) So not knowing a lick about Kitty Pryde ( insert your own double entendre now ), I dunno whether Maggie or Summer would make a better fit. Hell, I'd have never thought Jessica Alba would make a good Sue Storm. OK, I've obviously not seen the movie yet, but I'm trying to make a point.

Good luck Summer!

I enjoy Maggie Grace on Lost, but Summer is a _much_ better fit, visually, for Kitty Pryde (and not just because Maggie's primary role is where she was blonde), although even Summer's not one of the best people, visually (although I'd like to see her just because I enjoy the actress and she's good enough).
