They hope to start shooting next spring? Isn't this movie coming out next year?

It'll be pushed to 2017 if it's shooting by the spring.

Doug Liman is pretty much a certainty at directing this so it'll at least be good if not fantastic.

If Doug Liman is attached to this, then I'm definitely interested

Sexy Hiest thriller.....No thanks....We just had Ant-Man do that...

Why can't they read a good Gambit story...then go from there!!!

Brainiac13 - 11/16/2015, 8:45 AM
Doug Liman does give hope though....If true...

@Brainiac13

If the whole movie is a heist thriller then it's fine since the heist made up like 10 minutes of Ant-Man.

I'm sold on Liman, amazing director, I'm still not completely sold on Channing though

And, I wish Fox would hire someone else, other than Kinberg to talk about their upcoming slate, especially after the Fant4stic saga

LMAO! Antman was not sexy........it was sloppy and silly!

JoeMomma29 - 11/16/2015, 9:18 AM
I am not really excited for this movie based on thing alone........the main actor! Have nothing against him he is great in comedies but I am not sure if he can pull off Gambit!

LOL! You typically shoot down everything DC is doing or has planned!

Did he think about what he just said and have they not been listening to the complaints about Gambit already? I'll save my Sexy Thriller time for Michael Jackson's birthday.

@Gliderman

When I make my comments it is just to rustle feathers, I only truly call out the trolls.

As far as Supergirl I am the first to admit the show is corny and cheesy, but there is something I love about it.

And yes Red Tornado is a hot mess!

ThedamnBatman - 11/16/2015, 9:57 AM
Dafuq is a "sexy thriller" lmao, wait till we get a Magic Mike type of Gambit...

But kidding aside, if Doug Liman gets the job, I will give this a chance, as the dude has given us Edge Of Tomorrow.

If Doug Liman gets the job, I'm all the way on board. He's a fantastic director!

Sexy thriller? The [frick]?
TheAmarilloBlack

Lea Seydoux makes everything sexy.

Hello, Gambit is a thief, why wouldn't you want this to be a heist movie?
GoogleWasMyIdea
GoogleWasMyIdea - 11/16/2015, 10:09 AM
@GliderMan Agreed that Supergirl is an abomination.
xstryker
xstryker - 11/16/2015, 10:10 AM
As for sexy, duh, chicks love Gambit (and Gambit loves the ladies)
xstryker
xstryker - 11/16/2015, 10:11 AM
You may not want a Gambit movie (or from Fox), but a Gambit movie ought to be a sexy heist thriller. It's the nature of the character.

"Gambit will have its own different flavor and tone to it, will be more of like a heist movie and a sexy thriller in a way"

Why couldn't they just say "Gambit will be a hot piece of shit"?
GhostDog
GhostDog - 11/16/2015, 10:13 AM
Idk about this film. I like Gambit, but does he warrant a solo film...

If you wanna capture the essence of the character, read the James Asmus run. They should use this run as inspiration for the film

Sexy heist thriller??? Trash this sh*t.
TheRationalNerd
TheRationalNerd - 11/16/2015, 10:14 AM
Am I the only one not surprised by this movie dealing with Gambit's theft business? Look at the comics, look at the animated adaptions. Thieving is one of this guy's main instincts. lol Come on y'all.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 11/16/2015, 10:16 AM
Channing Tatum cant help but add sex appeal to most of the films he's in. He's got make up for his lack of acting talent lol
GhostDog
GhostDog - 11/16/2015, 10:16 AM


Matt Bomer would've made a great Gambit
TheRationalNerd
TheRationalNerd - 11/16/2015, 10:16 AM
I've also read that Doug Liman is known for working with projects with late starting productions. So I'm actually pretty confident that it'll all play out for the best.

A Sexy thriller ? A heist ? Oh come on, they can certainly go another route with this film.
