Generation X is a 1996 American television pilot directed by Jack Sholder that aired on Fox on February 20, 1996. It was later broadcast as a television film. It is based on the Marvel comic book series of the same name, a spin-off of the X-Men franchise. It was produced by New World Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment Group.

Production

The film was planned to air during sweeps as Fox was confident it would make a strong impact, and had a budget of over $4m. Producer Eric Blakeney hoped it would lead to further Generation X TV movies, or a full series. New World Enterprises kept strong security over the script, which was not allowed to be viewed by the press.

Budgetary reasons meant a direct translation of the comic was impossible. The most notable casualties were the characters of Chamber and Husk, whose powers involve drastic alterations to their bodies and would be difficult to depict in live-action.

Other changes were made to the characters in the development of this film. Jubilee, for example, was not portrayed as a character of Asian descent, despite the X-Men comics and broadcast series having portrayed her as Chinese American. Ironically, Sandra Oh auditioned for the part of Emma Frost.

The film was shot in British Columbia over the course of 24 days. Hatley Castle was used to depict the Xavier Institute, and would continue to do so in the films X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, Deadpool, and Deadpool 2.
