Yeah Halle Berry was a much better choice.

There has never been a good casting for the character to the point that I'll never expect that to ever change.

@Cleander - Alexandra Shipp is an amazing actress and could have been great. She just got stuck with a couple of shitty screenplays and directors.

@elcapitan - Both actors had bad scripts but they were still awful playing the role especially Alexandra Shipp

Wish Angela Bassett would have done it. She was always my pick for Storm in those early days. She brings that power that Storm has.

@HammerLegFoot - If the X-Men film had come out in the early '90s I'd be behind this.

@DarthAlgar - Same. She would have [frick]ing killed it - would have been believable as team leader too.

I thought this was known already or am i just making that up?.

Anyway , idk if that version of Storm would have done any actresses any favors due to how underutilized and underwritten the character was…

Halle did well imo with the material she had but still wasn’t enough.

@TheVisionary25 - guessing it was known, otherwise Barrymore wouldn't have thought of it either (albeit for the wrong movie)

@bkmeijer1 - I thought so lol

I think she might have been up for Trinity in The Matrix too , she was big back in the day.

bkmeijer1 - 4/26/2024, 11:49 AM
@TheVisionary25 - could be, although I guess Jackson would've confirmed that as well instead of directing attention to Storm
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 4/26/2024, 11:53 AM
@bkmeijer1 - true
Regardless , worked out for the best atleast in regards to Trinity

No way.

Halle Berry was a great choice but those scripts were awful for her (and most everyone else). Seriously those movies are so bad. 2 is alright. So much potential, so much promise, and never delivering. First 15 minutes of DoFP is the best we’ve gotten.

@SummersEssex - She was a better choice than Janet Jackson, but she was not a "great" choice at all.

Halle wasn't a good storm in the least...but she beter choice than Janet.

But they should've did all the coudl to get Angela Bassett to play her and if Not then see if Iman could done it.

@Nomis929 - After watching Conan The Destroyer, I thought of Grace Jones back the 80s.

@marvel72 - Wow...now that would've been an interesting choice.

Someone did a fanart of her during Storm mohawk days.

@Nomis929 - This song came out when i had my first paying job, right before I started college. My boss and his brother (both black, from Philly and funny AF) would sing the "Miss Jackson if you're nasty" hook while dancing some of JJ's moves -- all at the workplace. Of course, HR would fire them today if they did it.

@GeneralZod - I had just started College when this song and the Album 'Conrtrol" dropped, and for those who don't know, this album was like an atomic bomb on the pop music scene! It took everyone by suprise and by storm!

Before this album, Janet was only seen as a very cute so-so actor (From 'Good times and 'Fame') and Michael little sister who wants to be a singer. She had two albums before 'Control' but they didn't have any hits on them, not even minor ones, but 'Control" was the turning point for her and she never look backed!

Thanks to the genius of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis producing, who had just been fired a couple years back by Prince from the Time for missing out on a concert becasue they were secretly producing the SOS band debut album.

For me, 'Control' is stil my favorite Janet Jackson album and look. Love The Pleasure Princible song and video!

@Nomis929 - I was 17, she was 19, and I watching this on MTV's heavy rotation and thinking, "she's too fast for me" lol.

She is your age I think, this must have been torture for you.

@GeneralZod - She older than my by a year. But I certainly looked after her in a whole new light after 'Control' came out!

My "torture' at that time was the late Denise Matthews aka VANITY!

Janet would know better than me, but the Janet tour was in 93 to 95. The All for You tour was closer In 2001. Maybe she had been gearing up since early 2000 or even 99. Maybe she got the tour name wrong I dunno?
