X-Men 3 Pictures: Golden Gate Bridge/Alcatraz Set Some great pics showing the massive set in South Vancouver September 27th 2005 03:01am | Posted by: Editor-in-Chief Thanks to HNR reader “moviebuff05” we have some great shots of the X-Men 3 activity at south Vancouver’s Golden Gate Bridge/Alcatraz set, as previously described in a news post on HNR last week. Here’s what he had to say about the set: You can see that they are starting to put up more black wrap around, but I have some shots of the green/blue screen inside if that's what it is supposed to be. I wasn't able to stop on the side of the road where I could take photos of the trucks, but it looks to me like they might be ready to start filming some stuff soon, as they have all the star trailers parked there. Also, there was a parking lot that was fenced off with a bunch of old cars, some with and without license plates, as well as an old tow truck. There is also an unpainted wooden building and from what I can see the inside courtyard looks like it could be used in a prison type of scene as there were big flood lights on posts all around it that looked like spot lights as well as a "watch tower or guard tower" in the right of the photo. You can also see that the "prison" or Alcatraz structure I was talking about is attached to part of the bridge and a dome building.

Though details about the plot for X-Men 3 are sketchy at best, due to the studio's policy of tightly guarding the material, the most recent synopsis involves a geneticist (Shohreh Aghdashloo) who finds a "cure" for the mutation found in mutants, spurring the mutant Hank McCoy, known as "The Beast" (Kelsey Grammer), to seek a reversal for his condition. X-Men 3 is directed by Brett Ratner and stars Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Shawn Ashmore, Daniel Cudmore, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Kelsey Grammer, Vinnie Jones, Ben Foster, Ellen Page, Olivia Williams, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Bill Duke and Michael Murphy. The film is produced by Lauren Schuler Donner and Avi Arad, from a screenplay by Simon Kinberg, Michael Dougherty, Dan Harris and David Hayter. The film is scheduled for release May 26, 2006.
