Halle Berry hopes to follow in the footsteps of Hugh Jackman by reviving her X-Men character for a prequel. Jackman's new movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine is set before the comic book trilogy and tells the life story of his superhero alter ego.

And Berry, who played weather-controlling mutant Storm in the first three films, would love to return to the franchise with her own X-Men Origins picture.

She says, "I think that would be great. Storm deserves her own movie - if I can still fit into the suit."

Hugh Jackman is hiding a secret stash of nude footage cut from his new movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. While shooting the X-Men prequel, Jackman had to perform several stunts in the nude.

After his more intimate areas were hidden for the final cut, director Gavin Hood handed Jackman the X-rated extras for his own personal use.

The actor explains, "Our director gave me a little bag and inside it were about eight bits of film, all cut (from the movie). I said, 'That's interesting,' then I held it up to the light and I said, 'OK, now I know why that's in a bag!'"

And he has vowe...

Hugh Jackman accidentally stabbed a stuntwoman in the arm while filming the first X-Men movie - during a fight scene as his clawed character Wolverine.

The Australian actor had to wear real metal talons while filming the 2000 comic book blockbuster and admits handling the prop was quite dangerous.

Jackman recalls one incident which left Rebecca Romijn's stunt double seriously hurt - forcing moviemakers to rethink how to film the scenes involving the superhero's famous claws.

He says, "On the very first film we had real metal claws and the girl who was playing Mystique, Rebecc...

X-Men star Hugh Jackman turned real-life superhero on Thursday, when he rappelled down a London newspaper building for charity. The actor, who stars in forthcoming prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine, jumped off the headquarters of fellow Aussie Rupert Murdoch's News International - the home of newspapers The Sun, The Times and the News of the World - to raise money for The Sun's Help for Heroes campaign, which aids British soldiers wounded in conflict.

Jackman was joined in the stunt by newspaper bosses Rebekah Wade, Dominic Mohan and Murdoch's media mogul son James.

I grew up in a comic book store, so most of my days after school were spent sitting in a beanbag chair reading graphic novels. It has been a fairly exciting few years for comic fans with the emergence of the mainstream embracing what used to be considered a nerdy habit. With big blockbuster movies like Spider-Man, X-Men, and The Dark Knight taking over the Entertainment industry, it is easier to forgive bad comic movies like Catwoman or Daredevil because at least they're getting these stories out there. At least people are starting to know and love what we've known and loved for decades. Ye...

Megan Fox is light years ahead of the competition when it comes down to sex appeal - she has been voted the hottest sci-fi babe of all time.

Halle Berry came a close second as mutant weather-controller Storm in the X-Men franchise, while actress/model Milla Jovovich was voted in third by sci-fi fans for her role in The Fifth Element.

Bringing comic book heroes (and villains) to the big screen has meant big bucks for movie studios in recent years. With huge budgets and state of the art special effects, it's easier than ever for filmmakers to convincingly create the fantasy worlds that classic comic characters inhabit, both delighting die-hard "geeks," and captivating folks who've never picked up a comic book in their lives.

Comic book films have always been popular, dating back to the movie serials of the 1940s featuring Superman, Batman, and Flash Gordon, just to name a few. Christopher Reeve's "Superman" in 1978...

Australian actor Hugh Jackman has written a personal letter to X-Men fans assuring them his upcoming Wolverine movie is going to plan - despite growing rumors of problems with the film.

Comic book prequel, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is due for release in May but speculation about the film's slow progress has been increasing since the cast was recently recalled to the set in Vancouver, Canada to re-shoot several scenes. Many fan forums and internet gossips have voiced concerns that movie bosses ordered the re-shoots after the film failed to come up to standard.

However Jackman has...

X-Men star Hugh Jackman is set to go from comic book character to comic book creator after teaming up with screenwriter Marc Guggenheim for a new sci-fi thriller. The Aussie actor, who plays Wolverine in the X-Men films and is currently reprising the hairy character in a spin-off movie, has developed a new series for Virgin Comics, called "Nowhere Man."

Chances are you've come across James Marsden's dimples on the big screen and been charmed by the man behind them. There's a boyish quality to Marsden, but there's also strong leading man potential, which Marsden is finally beginning to enjoy.

After playing a string of good boys who can't quite hold onto the girl in films such as X-Men, Superman Returns and The Notebook, Marsden joked to Entertainment Weekly that his action figure line would be called, "'The Other Guy Series'-the guy-that-doesn't-get-the-girl action figures."

Marsden isn't destined to be "The Other Guy" much long...

Cameron Diaz and X-Men hunk James Marsden are to play husband and wife in a new horror movie. The pair will portray an unhappily married couple who have to tackle dark forces in The Box.

The film is an adaptation of a short story that was first published in a 1970 issue of Playboy magazine.

It's not the first time the project has been filmed - author Richard Matheson adapted the story for an episode of The Twilight Zone in the 1980s, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Ian Mckellen has hit out at Hollywood movie producers for encouraging homosexual actors to remain 'in the closet'. The X-Men star, who revealed he was gay on British radio in 1988, has in the past criticized actors for not 'coming out'. But the 67-year-old now blames the forces behind the film industry for pressuring homosexual actors to keep their sexuality a secret.

McKellen says, "With all that liberal attitude (in Hollywood), you have a local industry which is saying to local people who live in the area - 'When you come to work, you are not gay.' And I think to myself, 'Can people...

X-Men star Rebecca Romijn and fiance Jerry O'Connell have reached a compromise for Sunday afternoon American football telecasts - he gets to watch them on mute.

Sports fan O'Connell and the actress could never agree on how to spend their Sundays together - because she hates watching football games on TV.

Hollywood couple Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell have discovered that a bicycle made for two is better than therapy after hitting the Los Angeles streets on a tandem.

The soon-to-be-married pair have bought a tandem bicycle and X-Men star Romijn has discovered it's therapeutic hitting the back roads with her beau. She says, "It's so much fun, it's great exercise, it's a nice way to see the scenery... and it's great couple's therapy.
