The Jam! Showbiz Web site recently reported on an article in the Toronto Sun in which actress Anna Paquin talked about the sequel to the X-Men movie.

"I`m signed for it and want to be in it," said Paquin of a sequel.

Paquin, who will be seen in the Sean Connery drama Finding Forrester in December, is now a freshman in college in New York City and can only shoot films on her winter and summer breaks. So the schedule would have to be right for her to reprise her role as Rogue.

Paquin also mentioned that she hasn`t yet been told of any specific plans for a sequel, nor has she been informed as to whether director Bryan Singer would return to helm the second of the proposed X-Men trilogy.

"I don`t know anything about that," she said of the sequel plans, "but I can`t imagine making that movie without him."

One aspect of being part of the X-Men phenomenon that seems strange to Paquin is seeing herself made into an action figure. The actress, who owns 12 of the figures, was a bit self-conscious about the design process because she had a say in the final version.

"The doll is freaky. It just`s a creepy process because, at the end of it, you have this little six-inch plastic of yourself running aroundall over the world in toy stores and little kids` playrooms. It`s just kind of a slightly weird thing to think about."

X-Men 2: from the 'Dark horizons' wesite:

The Toronto Sun reports that the sequel is slated to move ahead into production this Fall for release next July, despite indications from those involved that basically that is just not going to be possible.

Nevertheless the article does focus on the fact the film looks like it will not be shot in Montreal again, with Vancouver currently in the lead as the replacement candidate whilst Sydney and Toronto are also on the list (Bryan Singer is currently in Sydney shooting 7UP commercials so an inspection may be in order).

Sounds reasonable enough though the article also indicates Singer has confirmed that Gambit, Beast and Jubilee will all appear despite the fact it was indicated earlier only Beast seems to be on the candidates list.

I hope the 2nd is as good as the first :rain: When I first bought the movie I drove my whole family nuts by watching it day in and day out.

All rumors I've herd point to the next movie being about the Sentinels. For those of you who don't know much about X-Men, Sentinels are huge mutant-seeking robots created to detect mutants and "keep them in check".
