Official First Class News & Speculation Thread

[Retroman]

Wonder if Juggernaut or Cain Marko will feature at all in First Class? I ask this because i bumped into an old Vinnie Jones interview from this summer's Comic Con in which he talks a little about his role in The Cape and Matthew Vaughn's plans for X3.

From io9.com:
Vinnie, how was it becoming Scales, both in personality and appearance?

The make-up was tough — it took four hours to put in on. It gets all over your head, your hands. For frequent filming we're going to refine the make-up. Scales is an ambitious character. He wants to run the cargo of P9 and will try to gain the upper hand whenever he can. What's nice about Scales is we can really make him his own character — unlike say the Juggernaut who people had preconceptions about. It's very hard coming into that. For Matthew Vaughn's X3, the Juggernaut was supposed to be front and center, and we had all these ideas about his character that just never came to be in the final film.

I remember that script — Juggernaut was going to be Xavier's brother in England.

Yeah! What I'm loving about this is that we can do so much with Scales. We can tell how he got his scales, we can tell the back story of his wife and his therapist (who we never see because they're on the other end of the phone). Scales has got a lot to tell you for the series. I want to see thousands of him running around at Comic-Con next year.

[Angamb]

wow, so Matthew wanted him as Xavier's brother, exactly how it should have been done.

I respect Matthew more now.

[psyonic]

I want to read any X3 scripts that were considered for filming, anyone got links or the script itself? Meaning the script where Alcatraz was not the final act, Iceman, Kitty and Beast breaking into the lab where the cure is, Rogue spying on the Brotherhood etc.

[Angamb]

Those things are the ones Id love to see on a xfilm.

the Beast, Kitty and bobby in the lab reminds me of some scenes from the tv series, and one from Astonishing x-men, and the Rogue one make me remember the Wolverine & the x-men show.

great ideas that never saw the light.

[Deaths Head II]

I'm sure Vaughn would have made a better film then Ratner.

The ideal would have been to do what they're doing now though. Vaughn directing and Singer producing. Stupid Fox and them making the right decision years later.

[DCUmoviepage]

Narnia comes this friday and nothing new to show =( Or the trailer comes with Gulliver's Travel or comes with another film.A few new pictures are welcome too!

[Angamb]

narnia comes this friday??

mm, then I doubt we'll get the teaser with this film...

Id say the last week of December :)

[Matt Mortem]

It's a real shame about the Juggernaut. He's my favorite x-related character and I would have loved to see him done right. Now that I heard mention that he was to be Xaviers Brother from London it makes sense to have Vinnie Jones as Juggs, but without that brother angle he was out of place in the role

A blog from one of the costume designers:
While still on ‘The Change Up‘, I got an email that made me stop in the middle of Lenox mall and squeal like a 14-year-old that just saw Justin Bieber. I got am email to work ‘X-Men: First Class‘ as a costumer *passes out from awesome*. I am pretty sure all my cosplay, all my comic book nerddom, all my who-would-beat-who-in-a-fight conversations has been building to this, my nerd-dream job.
So here I am on the beautiful East-coast of Georgia working with an amazing cast/ crew and loving my job every day. I have a list a million miles long of things I can’t talk about via FOX, so unfortunately no neat pictures yet. But after the film comes out, I will post all sorts of funny and interesting things.
I will tell you 2 things though.


I have read the script (considering the time-line / character restrictions it had to maneuver around) and it is good.



I have lovingly named Kevin Bacon’s dummy, Fake’n Bacon..

http://www.miracole.com/2010/12/05/x-men-first-class-the-change-up/

[marvelrobbins]

All good.

[Angamb]

the script... "just good"?

mm, would have loved to hear "its amazing" or something like that... but anyway..

I still have faith, tho.

[Sawyer]

The costumes are one of the biggest things from the film that I'm looking forward to. I just hope we dont get black leather all over again.

[squeekness]

i spoke to her today she said he had messy hair and looked like sideburns so she assumed it was him - dressed all in black but with green on hi for cgi - she couldnt remember where the green was though - asked her to keep a look out from now onDidn't Shaw have the muttonchops? Maybe it's Shaw's double, no?

[Deaths Head II]

Didn't Shaw have the muttonchops? Maybe it's Shaw's double, no?

That's a good possibility too.

[conan69]

I thought Singer said we were supposed to have had a look at the costumes by now.

Interested in some new stuff on this.

[Matt Mortem]

I wish to hell we had a look at ANYTHING at this point. We have some grainy set pics and thats it.

[SuperT]

When is filming done? This month? They're really cutting it close with post production and the release date.

I'm guessing the movie won't be as heavy on cgi/special effects as the previous four X-Films.

The previous films had similar schedules.

Yea, I completely forgot the first three films were on the same sort of timelime and their effects were top notch.

Not really worried now. lol

[spidey-dude]

Didn't Shaw have the muttonchops? Maybe it's Shaw's double, no?

could very well be - heck it might be him and not even the double she wouldnt know - just gutted they wernt filming while i was at the studio this summer

I feel suspicious about that blog post. I doubt a costume designer would be able to read the entire script. It's far too risky. Even the actors are often not given the entire script.

Also very suspicious. How does some interviewer on a site remember the Vaughn script if it was never shown around or made available? It doesn't quite add up. But I'm sure Juggernaut would have had a different role.

[Angamb]

yeah, its a bit weird.

maybe he read just some scenes involving time period descriptions but wanted to say he read the whole script, some people act like that, :woot:

[JP]

Trailer plz. Heck, I'd setting for a picture of McAvoy in a suit. :(

[psyonic]

He or she never said he/she read the entire script. The costume designer needs to know what scenes they are designing for .. outdoor cold scene, they aren't going to put people in shorts, and if it's an action scene, some materials are easier to move around in. Some of you people really love to doubt things that don't even really matter. You want news and all you people do is moan and ***** when you get it.

[Retroman]

I'm sure Vaughn would have made a better film then Ratner.
No, Matthew Vaughn thinks he could have made it 100 times better.:o
A blog from one of the costume designers:
http://www.miracole.com/2010/12/05/x-men-first-class-the-change-up/

Nice find.:up:

So i gather from this that Sebastian Shaw will play some role in the Georgia shoot.
Also very suspicious. How does some interviewer on a site remember the Vaughn script if it was never shown around or made available? It doesn't quite add up. But I'm sure Juggernaut would have had a different role.

Other than Aintitcool i don't think anyone has read the pre-Ratner drafts. Which is quite amazing considering all the stuff that was leaked from X3.

First Class will have some scenes featuring Xavier as boy so i could see them possibly working in a Cain Marko cameo in there. Which would be a nice nod to the fans.

[Angamb]

Trailer plz. Heck, I'd setting for a picture of McAvoy in a suit. :(

really?

Id preffer a photo of Havok, or human Beast.

Fox Searching For A Super Villain's Lair For X-Men: First Class

Location managers for Twentieth Century Fox made enquiries to Sutton Council earlier this year about shooting scenes from the two films in the borough, it emerged this week.

X-Men: First Class looked at using the urban sprawl of the Durand Close Estate, and also wanted a large warehouse to build a super-villain's lair.

Via Your Local Guardian (http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/8722512.Sutton_considered_for_X_Men_and_Pirates_of _the_Caribbean/)

[JP]

They were. Weird that they're just talking about it now, albeit to garner interest. But it seems thi was a while ago.

[steintym]

Would be nice to have some new/offical photos, or anything, by now.

[The Bathammer]

The script for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS is consistently solid, and often very good. Elements of the previous MAGNETO script remain here. It is heavy on story, though the story is less complex than the previous three films. It's also somewhat light on the surface mythology, despite the number of characters involved, and plumbs the depth for much subtler elements, but there will be key moments in the evolution and creation of the X-Men. Much like SUPERMAN RETURNS, there are several "callback" moments to previous films, and several characters from Singer's previous X-Men films. Like the previous movies, it's going to divide fans a bit, but general audiences are probably going to eat it up. Think of it as 60's James Bond meets the original Jason Bourne meets Mission Impossible meets the X-Men. In some ways its bigger than any of the previous X-Men movies.

I'll bite. How much action/spectacle is there, compared to any of the first three films? Ditto for scale. I want a sense of just how big of a film this is.

From ComicsContinuum http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/1012/10/index.htm:

"20th Century Fox has released an official description for X-Men: First Class, which will arrive in theaters on June 3.

Here's how the film -- directed by Matthew Vaughn -- is described:

"X-Men First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men."."

So...Armageddon is the villain? :huh:

[DCUmoviepage]

Very generic, the description, but its something.Waiting for the official pics and/or a trailer now.

[the a1ant]

I don't think they're referring to the comic book villain Armageddon. I think they just mean Armageddon as in "the scene of a final battle between the forces of good and evil."

[JP]

"20th Century Fox has released an official description.."

Where? To who? :huh:

[Angamb]

Fox wanted to start some little promotion, I see.

Hopefully next week, we'll get one or two official pics.

So...Armageddon is the villain? :huh:

Interesting find, thanks.

They write Armageddon with a capital 'a' which makes me think that they're referring to the villain from the comics.We'll have to wait and see though...

[Matt Mortem]

The only X-Men related Armageddon I know of is Apocalypse's kid from another dimension or whatever. Doesn't seem like a villain that would make one damn bit of sense in any film.

[chaseter]

I think its obvious that the villain is the Hellfire Club.

[JP]

Yes, and Armageddon (the event) is always capitalized, actually.

[scatterax]

true. but i think (the word not the capitalized letter) could be a hint at Apocalypse, or possibly sinister. I remember hearing a rumor that keven bacons character may not be all he appears, and both characters can change apperence sooo...

[X-Maniac]

Fox says it hasn't released any new synopsis.

So someone somewhere is making things up.

[Deaths Head II]

With all this lack of news, I hope the marketing for this film doesn't suck as bad as the latest Narnia's.

[X-Maniac]

With all this lack of news, I hope the marketing for this film doesn't suck as bad as the latest Narnia's.

Well, it doesn't come out till June, and is still in production, so i am not fretting about lack of news at this point.

[JP]

It's only coming out a week after X3 did years ago. And for X3 we had the first images as well as the first trailer the first week of December.

Thor, Transformers, and Green Lantern put out trailers already. And the Pirates trailer comes out today.

Thor, Captain America, Green Lantern, and Pirates have all released photos.

I'm not worried or anything. I'm just tired of all the silence. Throw us a bone and release an image, or a poster.. something.

[JP]

Also all the hubbub over the internet about the synopsis is puzzling. We already got a synopsis months ago, and this "new" one just changed a few choice words. :huh:

[X-Maniac]

Even more puzzling when Fox say they didn't send out an update to the synopsis.

I think people have latched on to the word Armageddon, because it wasn't in the previous synopsis, and probably read far too much into it.

[JP]

Shows that we're all desperate for news.

[steintym]

I could have sworn I read that synopsis before. Makes more sense now, sounds like there was something out previously. The denial seems odd, though.

[scatterax]

maybe it was the leaked synopsis, and this is the official 1. hence the changing of only a few words.

[Matt Mortem]

It's insane we haven't been given ANYTHING yet.

I like it someway. Its creating more anticipation, I suppose.

I hope the teaser has some epic feel, to be on the level of Thor and Pirates, or even better. but its a bit hard.

I hope to see some big shots of the places the x-men/Xavier visits on the film.

[Aesop Rocks]

Sure can't wait for a trailer!

[Angamb]

The film will be good. the story and sets seems more interesting than XO: Wolverine.

so just for the story, I will enjoy this movie so much.

I'll enjoy it because Vaughn did wonders with Kick-Ass. All the leaked set pictures are great too. Love the X-Jet pics.

I don't know, I kind of agree with the poster that said a film like this should be introduced earlier to the audience to get them used to the concept. You know, because it lacks any recognizable actors and most of the recognizable characters.

[samsnee]

This thing will be on FX in two years so enjoy the anticipation while it lasts.

[The Bathammer]

Oliver Platt is not a member of the Hellfire Club. His inclusion in this film is going to raise some eyebrows despite it being well executed, because while it doesn't fly in the face of things said in the previous movies, it isn't what people expected, either. They're steering this in the direction of the other Marvel movies coming out.

The boat is a pivotal moment. It's going to change the world.

Don't expect to see Pierce, Leland or Mastermind show up in this. The Hellfire Club exists, but its main operations are carried out by two members, much like Magneto and Mystique in the X-Men movies.

Love the sound of this, even though it's cryptic.

I think the hardcore fans might like them steering this in the direction of the other Marvel movies (whatever that really means) as there is a feeling in fandom that Marvel is doing the best job of adapting its own comics at present. Fox is getting a lot of flak on certain fansites that have been mentioned.

[steintym]

Anything that brings these movies more in line with the other Marvel movies sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Well, First Class is linked with the previously 3 X-Men films, and there Kut is not mystic son. So i dont think they do it here, or give a diferent mother to Nightcrawler.

It was never denied that Nightcrawler was Mystique's son, it just wasn't ever acknowledged... right?

Yeah, it was never denied. Most versions of X-Men have Kurt unaware that Mystique is his mom until she decides to reveal it to him later. I don't know why people act like the fact it wasn't brought up in X2 is evidence they're not related. Kurt was too young to remember and Mystique probably didn't feel like revealing to him that she was the mother that abandoned him as a child.

Although it’s his first major action role (the only thing that comes close, he says, is 2000’s Hollow Man), it’s not a particularly demanding part physically.

“I’ll let the younger actors do that,” he laughs. “I’m more one of those sit-in-my-chair-and-destroy-the-world type of guys.”

[Matt Mortem]

You know, I'm really cool with Bacon playing Sebastian Shaw. He just seems like he'll pull of the role well

[Electrix]

I like that it's an out-of-the-box casting choice. Nobody thought Kevin Bacon would be in a comic book movie, yet here he is. I think Matthew Vaughn must be a fan.

[Matt Mortem]

It is a completely left field casting choice, but it's one that just makes perfect sense. Those are my favorite type of casting choices

[JP]

First Class is simultaneously in production and post-production. :huh:

Either way, they should be wrapping this week.

[Project862006]

from what i hear it is'nt cgi heavy anyways did'nt vaughn said he would only use cgi when it was completely necessary

also if you remember x men 2 wrapped in november of 2002 and released in may of 2003

[scatterax]

hmm maybe it's taking longer than most movies to film cuz of all the practical effects they might be using. since it's gonna be light on cgi.

[Angamb]

This is the only 2011 superhero film that is still filming.

All the rest has already entered post production. Green lantern, Thor, Captain America.

Pirates and Transformers are filming yet too.

[Project862006]

people are all too used to movies taking a year to do post production when really you dont need that long

like i said x2 came out 6 months after it was filmed

[Deaths Head II]

Pirates and Transformers are filming yet too.

I thought Pirates finished filming recently? I remember the update that announced the trailer date also announced that they just wrapped up filming. Of course, they still got post-production now.

hmm maybe it's taking longer than most movies to film cuz of all the practical effects they might be using. since it's gonna be light on cgi.

That's probably a contributing factor but it's also probably because a lot of the other blockbusters mentioned started earlier. Cap started in the beginning of Summer instead of the end of summer like First Class and we've got the least amount of footage from that film out of the finished blockbusters. A handful of pictures, but no teaser yet.

[Mulholland '49]

I like that it's an out-of-the-box casting choice. Nobody thought Kevin Bacon would be in a comic book movie, yet here he is. I think Matthew Vaughn must be a fan.

Bacon reeks of awesomeness!

[Angamb]

yeah, if Fox decided to start shooting on September, its because that was the best plan for all of them (director, actors, crew and all).

Fox its a big studio, who has been doing movies since many decades, so them and Matthew has a plan, and will finish the movie when its suppose to finish.

its not like an independent film with a 100 dolars budget with an amateur director, you know? :cwink:

[B@tfan2289]

The casting just gets keeping interesting ! :awesome:

[TheWatcher]

While this movie may stray from the comics a lot, there is no doubt it will rock as a movie.

[Angamb]

yes, the Hellfire Club, Xavier in his early years, using his power, meeting Moira, Eric, creating the school, young Beast, Mystique, Havoc... new action, new mutants...

cant wait.

[chaseter]

I am just glad that they aren't combing through X3 or Wolverine to try and bend to their continuity. I think and hope this film has its own identity so that it can become its own trilogy. I bet we see a lot of retconning but I don't mind as long as the film is good.

[steintym]

I think this movie has a lot of potential, lot of cool possibilities.

I also agree - I hope they don't try too hard to make this fit in with Wolverine. Potential for way too much confusion and additional messed up continuity.

[marvelrobbins]

First Class Is by all accounts and reports prequel to X-Men,X2,the Last STand with
connections to X-Men and X2 fans will catch(Like In Superman Returns references was
made to things from Superman and to Lex Luthor being In fortress of Solitade In Superman 2) but with wolverine being Ignored(Just like the Wolverine and Deadpool
Ignores X-Men Origins:Wolverine) however If First Class Is set entirely In the 1960's(Apart from Magneto,Xavier,and Mystique younger scenes) and has Xavier and Magneto
going their seperate ways and Xavier crippled In the 1960's then we would have to disregred the Last Stand as well as Wolverine.

As long as It fits with X-Men and X2(which we know it will) most fans(who are not those
like on Superhero Main page who keep complaning this Is not reboot and bryan Singer Is
Story Writer/Producer and say he ruined the X-Men) will not complain about throwing out
X-Men the Last Stand and X-Men Origins:Wolverine from official film contunity.

We may not know till X-Men first Class Is In theatres rather we should still View X-Men the Last Stand In Contunity.

[Superhero 101]

Where is the trailer?! Maybe they'll release it on x mas

I was going to post the same question, hehe.

Id say next week. :woot:

[The Bathammer]

FIRST CLASS features characters from both X-MEN and X-MEN UNITED. Most of the "moments" and callbacks are elements that were introduced in X-Men, but that carried over into both sequels. THE LAST STAND seems to have been ignored altogether, although Beast and his blue fur will obviously play a role. But don't expect hints at Phoenix, or anything like that. They won't get that far in this film.

They won't get that far in this film.

The only characters we have from X-Men and X-Men United are Xavier, Magneto and Mystique in First Class. Hmmm .. Phoenix you say? I'm starting to think that Jean might be in First Class? There are a lot of things we don't know about, like the actual characters appearing in First Class, we have the partial cast of characters but maybe some are still unannounced? Heck, we don't even have official photos of the cast in costumes .. perhaps they're keeping whoever is in the movie a secret.

[huzzah]

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/248/tumblrlcubpa8ud81qanc7e.gif

PMSL!!:woot:

I still dont understand what the 'secrecy' is all about, like they got some special Ace card hidden up their sleeve :whatever: What's the point!!?

We've heard twice that some people have already seen rough footage so why dont they get some damn offical photos out?

[BMM]

At this point, I would rather they take their time and have an organized marketing campaign with GOOD promotional material, rather than release slipshod material for the sake of putting something out there. I'm looking at you, X-Men: The Last Stand, with your unfinished website photos, awful Colossus mask reveal, and trailer that had to be re-edited and uploaded because it spoiled Professor Xavier's death and with a terrible, incomplete effects shot to boot.

[Angamb]

yeah, I remember the first pics of Beast and Angel, I was really dissapointed, specially with Beast look.

So yes, I wouldnt mind waiting one more week..... one more week, not a whole month, lol

[JP]

LOL, I remember when the first head shots of everyone were released. They weren't even touched up and everyone looked awful, then a week later they re-released the pictures with everyone looking 10 years younger!

[Angamb]

hehe, Ben Foster looked much much better than her real look.

but I liked his official photo. :)

[JP]

Ugh, there's a rumor going around that the trailer is attached to Gulliver's Travels. I hope its true!


Also, according to reports via twitter from people working on the film, they officially wrapped on the 22nd of December.

I guess they'll do reshoots in January or February.

[Angamb]

cant wait for the trailer!!!!!!

[Doctor Jones]

We don't even know there is one yet. I doubt it's even true.

[Angamb]

its a fox film, so it could be true.

Well get a teaser soon, that's for sure.

[terry78]

Someone will have to brave this movie tomorrow or Sunday to see.

[Crockett]

I saw "Gulliver's Travels" earlier today, no FC trailer attached to it (wasn't exepecting it anyway) but now you know and knowing is half the battle.

[Project862006]

you took the bullet lol

was it worth it

[Crockett]

The only good part was the short with Scrat from "Ice Age" and that the ticket was free.

[JP]

How did you see it? Doesn't open 'till tomorrow.

But yeah, I new it was a false rumor.

[Crockett]

Well since I've moved to Malaysia this year and sometimes the movie comes out here usually a day or two earlier than the US, it officially came out here December 23th but I watched it yesterday. :)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320261/releaseinfo

[JP]

Hm, well I imagine if it WAS somehow attached it would only be in the US.

[Crockett]

I was thinking about it too, but then I guess Fox is still working on the trailer right now.

[JP]

Perhaps. Though, technically Gulliver's is only just opening in the US. :p

[DCUmoviepage]

I was thinking, maybe the trailer comes with Green Hornet no? is the next big movie to come, and a great possibility to introduce the film. I will gizzz in da pant if appears the Sentinels in FACT the trailer , not just the head or something like...

[JP]

I think GH is the next best option. The movie is tracking pretty well and looks to be a big hit.

[scatterax]

I want that movie to do well, but i'm not expecting records to be broken by the green hornet.

[JP]

Well, I doubt anyone will. LOL

[ViciousValentin]

The only way this movie and story could be linked to the first 3 X-Men movies(stories) is to have some sorta time travel which has always been a major plot point in X-Men comics and cartoons.

So who will the time travelers be?Azazel? Cable? Apocalypse?

[Mulholland '49]

The only way this movie and story could be linked to the first 3 X-Men movies(stories) is to have some sorta time travel which has always been a major plot point in X-Men comics and cartoons.

That's not true. There will definitely be some continuity errors though.

[SuperT]

Well, if Bathammer is to be believed then it sounds like the continuity is not an issue.

[X-Maniac]

That's not true. There will definitely be some continuity errors though.

Well, it's only an error if they do it accidentally and unknowingly.

If they make a deliberate choice to ignore something because of the way they want to tell the story, it's not a continuituy 'error'.

[Matt Mortem]

Yeah I agree with X-Maniac. Any and all plot decisions are done on purpose. They know the storyline thus far and they're making their movie accordingly.

[squeekness]

I saw "Gulliver's Travels" earlier today, no FC trailer attached to it (wasn't exepecting it anyway) but now you know and knowing is half the battle.LOL, you couldn't have paid me to see that, FC trailer or not. :p You poor brave soul.

[chaseter]

Well, it's only an error if they do it accidentally and unknowingly.

If they make a deliberate choice to ignore something because of the way they want to tell the story, it's not a continuituy 'error'.

Which is fine. It shouldn't be an issue to want to start fresh with an entirely new cast and keep some things familiar for the GA. Let them do what they want to start a new trilogy. Last thing I would want is Singer and Vaughn having to watch Wolverine and X3 to be sure they don't break continuity.

[Crockett]

LOL, you couldn't have paid me to see that, FC trailer or not. :p You poor brave soul.

Haha, but at least I didn't paid for it.:D Btw, it's nice that First Class is following continuity to at least the first three but I wouldn't mind if this is a reboot more or less like the new Star Trek.

[The Bathammer]

Continuity won't be an issue in the sense that the film doesn't make it into one. There are definite connections to elements of both the first two X-Men films and in a sense, Wolverine, but they are simply ignoring the fact that Xavier could walk in The Last Stand.

[Majik1387]

Xavier didn't walk in The Last Stand

[PreK]

Your memory's fuzzy. He was walking right alongside Magneto during X3s opening scene.

[Mako]

I believe he's referring to the scene when Xavier and Eric visit Jean as a kid.

[WildcatNC]

I have loved X-men since I was a kid. It has always been my favorite comic. Used to pretend to be Wolverine. I've read more X-men than anything else.

I have no faith in Fox to make a good movie anymore though. They are going to churn out bad movies from here on out just to keep the rights. I hold out hope for The Wolverine only because Aronofsky is directing it.

I seriously just wish the property would go back to Marvel. I'll go see first class because I love the X-men and i'm a geek but they have just screwed up to much for me.

[steintym]

I'm sure this will have loads of continuity errors, but I also think the story will be close enough that at a high level this will fit in with the other X movies. It will be close enough that the general audience will probably get that this is the same storyline. There will be messed up continuity and confusion, though.

[JP]

HEY FOX
throw us a bone!
:yay:

[The Original Bamfer]

For real. :hrt:

[Sawyer]

HEY FOX
throw us a bone!
:yay:


Maybe they'll give us a New Year's Eve present......

Maybe....

Hopefully...

:csad:

[JP]

They skipped Christmas. :(

[Sawyer]

Maybe Fox believes that mutants dont acknowledge the birth of Christ....

[The Original Bamfer]

But Jesus may have been a mutant?

(I'm not trying to offend anyone... Just tying Christmas and X-Men together!)

[Sawyer]

The mutant with the ability to turn water into wine.

[The Original Bamfer]

And walk on water! And heal! And ressurect himself! And turn his flesh into... uh, bread? Yeah. :yay:

[JP]

Nah.. He could create magnetic fields and control metal. Believing that humanity would never accept us, he grew angry and vengeful. He became Magneto.

[The Original Bamfer]

Magneto was crucified? I thought he was cured? :huh:

[JP]

There are mutants out there with incredible powers, Bamf. And many who do not share my respect for mankind. If no one is equipped to oppose them, humanity's days could be over.

[Kane52630]

I guess the trailer just...bamfed?

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8114/cyclopsmeetsnightcrawle.gif

[Sawyer]

At this point, anything would do. If not a trailer, an official pic of Xavier or Magneto works just as well.

[JP]

I'd be happy with a picture of McAvoy in a suit.

[MoPlaYa]

Alittle off subject here but does anyone know what happened to xmenfilms.net?

[JP]

No idea. Ant's been MIA for a while.

[Superhero 101]

It's 2011..... I DEMAND A TRAILER!!!!!!

[Loganbabe]

I'd be happy with a picture of McAvoy in a suit.
Here ya go:

Not I. :atp:

*crosses arms*

I'm complaining. :o

[Mulholland '49]

ET didn't even mention X-Men in their 2011 preview... :(

They did:

the only movie that doesnt has a pic is X-men, lol

(Captain too,I know...)

Fox, release something!

[the a1ant]

Alittle off subject here but does anyone know what happened to xmenfilms.net?

The site is now at http://xmenfilms.wordpress.com/ in beta mode.

[Angamb]

Hi a1ant, any info about the possible trailer release date?

[Mulholland '49]

Someone should send a twitter (tweet?) to Fox about the trailer.

[the a1ant]

Hi a1ant, any info about the possible trailer release date?

I will ask tonight and hope for a response tomorrow. :up:

Their Twitter is http://twitter.com/20thFoxCC maybe if enough people ask they'll get things moving.

Thanks! :)

I will ask tonight and hope for a response tomorrow. :up:

thanks!!

Hi, i cant wait for this year at the cinema. We have Green Hornet, Scream 4, Thor, Priest, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Hangover 2, X-Men: First Class, Green Lantern, Transformers, Captain America: The First Avenger, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows Part 2, Final Destination 5, Saw 8, Mission Impossible 4, Sherlock Holmes 2.

This year is going to be awsome.

[JP]

Ugh. This is redonkadick.

[Sawyer]

Seriously! We have, what, five months until this movie hits? And still nothing to show for it.

[Majik1387]

It's like when movies were being made before there was internet! :wow:

[JP]

There was a time before internet? How primitive. :wow:

[Matt Mortem]

I refuse to believe there was a time before teh internetz

[Sawyer]

It's because there wasn't. :o

[JP]

You know what the real frustrating thing is? It's FOX, meaning that when they start the ball rolling on promotion it's all going to hit at once. We'll probably get a teaser poster, trailer, and images all on the same day.

:/

[Sawyer]

Is that a bad thing?

[JP]

I prefer when promos are spaced out, instead of ALL AT ONCE.. then back to silence. :(

[The Original Bamfer]

I really hate when this thread is bumped and I see that it's not been bumped with news. :csad:

[Sawyer]

Should we put a moratorium on any further bumps until we get something official?

[Matt Mortem]

bump

You're pushing your luck, buster! :cmad:

What a sexy avatar. :atp:

I was just looking at the 2011 movie schedule on Flixter...this movie isn't even listed yet. All of the other summer movies are up there, but no X-Men. :csad:

Just about to go to bed, but v interesting late-night call from Vaughn. Will divulge all when I can, but some cool stuff coming up soon.

[JP]

Soon? Ugh.

[The Original Bamfer]

I. Am. Going. To. Have. A. Millar-induced HEART ATTACK!!! :cmad:

[JP]

Dear Fox,

I've been a very very good boy. You continue to throw slop in my face, but I take it like a champ. I even saw both Fantastic Four movies in theaters! Now I know that doesn't mean I necessarily deserve anything in return, but it would be nice if you could at least throw me a goddamn bone.

I'm not asking for much. Just a photo, or a teaser poster. It doesn't even have to be a full-on photograph. At this point I'd be happy with a shot of Beast's foot, or a close up of Magneto's left eye. Anything. I hope you understand and get to it as soon as possible.

Yours truly,
JP

[The Original Bamfer]

I'm asking for something ****ing awesome because that's what I ****ing deserve!

[JP]

I was trying to appeal to their better nature!

[Matt Mortem]

FOX has a better nature??

[the a1ant]

Didn't get a response yet on a trailer but it has to be soon...they can't push it off too far.

At least give us a teaser website. :-/

We've been extremely patient.

Tweet like crazy @20thFoxCC

[chaseter]

Hi, i cant wait for this year at the cinema.

This year is going to be awsome.

You really excited about Saw 8:huh:

[Sawyer]

Wait.... there's going to be another Saw?! I thought this was the last one Goddammit! :cmad:

[mclay18]

They really need to push this film. With Thor and Captain America coming up amongst countless other big films, I really don't want this to be lost in the shuffle

X-Men First Class is five months away. Fox needs to get cracking on promoting this film, if they still want it out by June 3rd.

Same thing with Captain America. No trailer yet, which Paramount and Marvel should've done already.

[the a1ant]

Yeah that's weird the Captain America trailer isn't out yet.

[JP]

Wouldn't it be lovely to get BOTH this week! It's literally ALL I want in the world as of now.

[The Original Bamfer]

I want "soon" to mean "now."

[Kane52630]

Geeze.... dont let FOX lower your standards, I mean come on!

[JP]

Dear Fox,

You *****es better give me a mother ****in' trailer STAT or I will cut you.

Yours truly,
JP

[Kane52630]

much better :up:

[Downhere]

I bet Fox just wants to make everyone wait to see any footage and therefore they will wait until the Superbowl, which would suck.

[Mulholland '49]

I'm betting superbowl. I bet there's not even a rough cut of it yet.

[JP]

They're not going to release a 30 second tv spot as the first footage from the film.

[Matt Mortem]

you know, with as little promotional stuff as we're getting there's a little voice in my head that is doubting whether or not their actually filming a damn movie. What is going on???

[psyonic]

They can do an online thing .. which is quick and simple .. I really want a name trailer reminiscent of X1 and X2 .. "Xavier, Beast, Havok, Angel, Banshee, Mystique, Magneto, Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw, Azazel, Riptide" Although FC is not Singer's film, maybe Vaughan will continue the tradition. Would be sweet.

[psyonic]

you know, with as little promotional stuff as we're getting there's a little voice in my head that is doubting whether or not their actually filming a damn movie. What is going on???

Haha at one point I was thinking the same thing. On April first .. "April Fools! There is no movie!" - Fox

[Matt Mortem]

Haha at one point I was thinking the same thing. On April first .. "April Fools! There is no movie!" - Fox

Same here. If it wasn't for that set pic of Emma I would think that FOX was just telling people they were making the film just to keep the rights without actually filming the damn thing.

[Downhere]

They're not going to release a 30 second tv spot as the first footage from the film.

Why not? Wasn't that what they did for Hulk before it came out in 2003? I could have sworn that was the first footage showed from the movie because I remember all the hoopla about it during the Superbowl.
