Magneto Movie Update
Bullz-Eye.com spoke with screenwriter Sheldon Turner (The Longest Yard, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel) about one of his upcoming projects, 20th Century Fox's X-Men spin-off Magneto.
According to Turner, the movie follows "a young Magneto. It opens up with a 14-year-old Magneto being abducted and put into Auschwitz... it's made for a 28-, 29-year-old actor. And then it tracks on how he seeks vengeance on the Nazis who killed his parents in the camps."
"And in the same way -- a la Anakin Skywalker, Leatherface, any of these iconic characters -- what was interesting for me [about Magneto] and what will be interesting for the audience is, 'All right, now I understand why he did that thing. Does it make me love him more?' Maybe not, but... it definitely makes me understand it more."
