Bryan Singer hopes to bring the production of X-Men 2 back to Toronto, according to a recent article in the Toronto Sun. Although Singer has not yet signed on for the sequel he told reporters on Tuesday that we was definitely willing to do the movie. "I really feel that we started something and I want to continue," Singer said during a promo for the X-Men DVD and video release.

Singer looks forward to reassembling the cast from the first movie." There were a lot of difficulties (in filming the original here last winter), but we really came out of it feeling like a family."

The junket was held at the Casa Loma location, which served as Xavier's school in the movie. The director said he hoped to return to Casa Loma for the sequel. "We may need it. But I don't know if Casa Loma will let us back in." Singer looks forward to a less intense shooting schedule on X-Men 2.

The director also talked up the DVD. He stated that the top quality in picture and sound on X-Men is of the highest quality. The dedication to that quality is what may have caused the trimming of extra features. Singer made no mention of an alternate edition in anyone's future.
