ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Magazine featured a small blurb on X3, including some new quotes!

With FOX determined to meet a Memorial Day 2006 release, RUSH HOUR's Brett Ratner was quickly hired to shoot a script on which he had no input.

"Other directors might have been wary. But Brett is very confident," says producer Avi Arad. Adds Ratner: "It wasn't like there were any mistakes to clean up. It was all fantastic."

The entire X-cast returns, including Hugh Jackman (now also a producer; the star endorsed Ratner) and Halle Berry (in an expanded role). Joining them: Kelsey Grammer as a furry blue genius named Beast.
