The main possible problem I see is that either Kurt is, visualy, is either end up looking particuly cool...or particuly bad. Its useualy very much hit and miss when it comes to full visual effects characters.
However things may be looking good as todays special effects are particuly nifty, personly i'd go with some sort of body suit/paint with CGI touch ups.
Well, I've got high hopes now that we know for sure that he (at least for most of the time) wont be an all-CGI character.
which is a good thing in my opion, entirely CGI has a good chance of not working as well as it could.
While todays CGI tech today is very nice even at its best it rarely looks 100% real when interacted onto live film (Star Wars Episodes 1 and 2 for instance).
CGI enhancements on a live action actor in some form of body suit/make up would work much more effectivly.
Looks like continuity has been sliced&diced in true wolverine style...X-fan reports the following synopsis:
"The X-Men reunite again as Magneto breaks from jail, and Henry Gyrich is revealed to be alive working with Military Officer Agent Stryker to build Sentinels. The X-Men also recruit 2 new team members, Gambit and Nightcrawler.
Whether this is the final plot for the sequel remains to be seen, as the script has undergone recent rewrites by screenwriters Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty.
X-Men 2 begins shooting today at the Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The film is scheduled for a May 2, 2003 theatrical release."

Gambit hmm? Military Officer Agent Stryker?? And lady deathstryke? This should prove interesting...
I agree. As much as I like the Spider-Man movie, you can just tell which scenes are CGI. It may not be as pronounced as the new Star Wars movies -- since they are almost ALL CGI -- but it's there. I just hope they don't overdo any CGI they use for Kurt.
awwwww check this [img]frown.gif[/img] X-men evolution comic is going to be canceled!!! no more evo kurt in comics. www.x-mencomics.com/x-fan
Hey 'Scrawlers! (or is that Scrawls?)

Anywayz, here is the site

I wish that they would hurry up and get some more art previews or storyboard drafts up, it's driving me [img]graemlins/bat.gif[/img]
There's a promo card up at Superhero Hype...the front of it's just the X2 logo, but the back's got pics of the returning cast...Hugh, Anna, James and Halle on the left...Patrick, Famke, Ian and Rebecca on the right...and four 'pixalated out' sections marked 'classified' in the middle...we know one of 'em's gonna be Alan...but the other three?
It's here if you wanna see it...
Also...in a current issue of a DVD magazine I get, they were talking about the upcoming DVD release of Minority Report and when they talked about the disk's special features...
"The disk also promises to have a very special preview of an upcoming film that is so tightly under wraps, that to speak its name would get me into even more hot water...**Cough**X-Men 2**Cough**."
That'll probably be about 6 months away...by then shooting should have wrapped and they'll be into post-production...so we might see some good stuff...
The same sort of thing has also been promised for the X-Men ~ Special Edition DVD due around Christmas...
oh geez, for a second there i got excited and i thought the pic of Mystique was him, it's so hazy [img]tongue.gif[/img] anyway... hmm... lesse, one of the pixelated pictures is gonna be Nighty for sure, plus Shadowcat and Pyro... i guess the fourth box will likely be Iceman, or since they have villains too (tho, the ones they show will apparently fighting on the good guys side this time round) maybe Stryker.
oooo.... guess i will have to get the Minority Report [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I'm gonna have to go make friends with people at movie theatres in case they have those superkeen 5 foot tall banners again...otherwise I'm going to have to lay down $150 for the Nighty one, I'm sure...
