Official First Class News & Speculation Thread

[Aesop Rocks]

Damn, y'all are eating yourselves alive over this lack of footage.

poorly marketed film is poorly marketed.

[The Original Bamfer]

Yeah, that's usually what fans do when they're eagerly awaiting news. :huh:

[JP]

Just look at the Cap boards.

[The Original Bamfer]

Also, the film isn't poorly marketed since it isn't even close to it's release date.

[Aesop Rocks]

The release date is June. Something, anything, would be out by now.

[JP]

Would, not should.

We're complaining because we're curious fans desperate for news.. but the fact that they haven't put anything out yet is really not that big of a deal.

Now, if it was mid-May and there were no posters anywhere and no tv-spots playing, then you can complain about marketing.

[The Original Bamfer]

What he said.

[BMM]

Yep.

Excuses aint cutting it! Somebody needs to pull their finger out?

[Team Andino]

Ok so I haven't been paying very close attention to news involving this movie but is it true that there's gonna be no Cyclops in this movie??

[Crockett]

Yep since it's going to be in the year 1960 and Charles and Erik are going to be in their mid 20's to 30's, they change so that Cyclops brother Alex Summer aka Havok is going to be in the movie too.

[Wolverine1988]

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.


They used the name trailer in the first two x-mens because the names were big time names(Wolverine,Cyclops,Jean Grey,Storm,Magneto etc)

The only marque mutants in this one are Prof X,Magneto,Beast, and Mystique

Pyro, Iceman, Colossus and Lady Deathstrike got their name in the X2 trailer :P

[Mulholland '49]

Does anyone think they might postpone the movie til like... August?

[steintym]

The lack of news on this is starting to be a concern. Not a big deal yet, but I am surprised that practically nothing has come out on this.

[JP]

Does anyone think they might postpone the movie til like... August?
Tentpole movies are never released in August. It's one of the worst months to release a film.

[Mulholland '49]

Tentpole movies are never released in August. It's one of the worst months to release a film.

The Bourne Ultimatum was pretty successful (an August release). Maybe they just got lucky though.

[JP]

There are always success stories, just like 300 proving that you can have a successful movie in March. Still, a studio isn't going to take that chance on a comic book film. It's the reason why Captain America has such an awful July release date. Anything to avoid August.

[the a1ant]

If there's one thing Fox knows how to do is market their films. This is just the calm before the storm, imo. They did miss an opportunity to create earlier buzz with a teaser website or photos, but when they do finally decide to promote, I'm sure it'll be very good.

[psyonic]

I just want to smack Fox ..I just read this on X3's wiki page:

"Fox Filmed Entertainment co-chairmen Thomas Rothman and Jim Gianopulos debated whether Rogue should give Iceman a passionate kiss at the film's end or simply hold his hand. The two executives screened The Last Stand for their daughters as well as the studio's female marketing executives, and the hand holding prevailed. Gianopulos stated that the kissing "was all about sex, and we didn't want that.""

This is how they make decisions .. ugh.:doh:

[Angamb]

I hope Matthew and Bryan puts some real stuff on the movies since now.

[Angamb]

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

thanks for trying it, a1aint :cwink:

Both Captain A. and X-men trailers will come this month, so Im not worried.

[Dr.Negative]

I feel that even though Bryan is the producer I think his small influence the movie will be half decent. Bryan will make sure of that.

[Angamb]

Im sure too.

[DCUmoviepage]

The fact is: do you really bellevie in everthing what yu read in wikipedia? But, well is the Fox, anything is possible. Maybe Gianopulos as a Jonas brothers fan HAHAHAHAHAHA

And finally, something: JANUARY JONES INTERVIEW (http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/01/04/x-men-first-class-january-jones-copes-with-sexed-up-insane-costumes/)

If it's referenced by a reliable source, which in this case it is. Always follow the citation tags.

Despite pretty much hating them until recently, this is one thing I will always give to Fox, they know how to market a movie, though their marketing for The A-Team was a little shoddy.

I feel that even though Bryan is the producer I think his small influence the movie will be half decent. Bryan will make sure of that.

His involvement and that of Vaughn are why I am excited for this movie, without them, I may have just given up on this franchise.

there is a trailer, they've screened it, heres a description of it from daily blam

I will be seriously pissed if this isn't true. And since I'm pretty much convinced it's not (it's a defense mechanism) I'm seriously pissed. I hope I'm wrong!

[marvelrobbins]

I read the description,and If that Is trailer it sounds great.If this Is legit It suggests
Oliver Platt's cahracter has some connection to Hellfire club.And saying January Jones wears the outfit from Wolverine and the X-men sounds good.

[Hellion]

I read the description,and If that Is trailer it sounds great.If this Is legit It suggests

Right now Emma and Havok's scenes are the only reasons I'm interested and want the trailer right now!......

[Wolverine1988]

Not saying it sounds legit but i think its cool, but it does seem very plausable for a trailer and i think the guy might actually be telling the truth.

[chaseter]

Xavier having telekineses bothers me a bit like the guy who wrote that.

[The Original Bamfer]

I'll say it again - it's a trailer, Chase. They're misleading.

[Mako]

If it is fake Fox should release the trailer to clarify :)

[Matt Mortem]

Too good to be true?? Guess I'll just wait and see

[The Original Bamfer]

If it is fake Fox should release the trailer to clarify :)

That's not how that works.

[Mako]

I know I was kidding.

[The Bathammer]

That trailer description doesn't sound right. There's a key moment described there that happens quite the opposite of what's in the story...and it's a pivotal moment.

[psyonic]

That trailer description doesn't sound right. There's a key moment described there that happens quite the opposite of what's in the story...and it's a pivotal moment.

Mr.Bathammer, any news on when we'll get to see the trailer?

[Doctor Jones]

I have a feeling it's real.

I'm looking forward to it. Azazel taking out the room full of guys sounds awesome.

[JP]

That trailer description doesn't sound right. There's a key moment described there that happens quite the opposite of what's in the story...and it's a pivotal moment.

Well, does it sound iffy or does it sound straight up false? I only ask because if its only one thing that's slightly different then you could probably chalk that up to the script being pretty fluid throughout production.

[chaseter]

I'll say it again - it's a trailer, Chase. They're misleading.

Say it three more times so it sinks in better.

[SodaPop]

I'm guessing the whole Xavier lifting the boats going bald thing is him controlling Magnetos mind and forcing Magneto to lift up the boats. Therefore Xavier goes bald just like in the comics. And what I mean by that is Xavier went bald due to telepathy, not telekinesis.

[X-Maniac]

I'm guessing the whole Xavier lifting the boats going bald thing is him controlling Magnetos mind and forcing Magneto to lift up the boats. Therefore Xavier goes bald just like in the comics. And what I mean by that is Xavier went bald due to telepathy, not telekinesis.

I could accept that scenario, that he was controlling Magneto rather than using his own telekinesis.

[Storm22]

Finally some news! Like what I read in the trailer description, can't wait to see the trailer in action though.

[Matt Mortem]

I'm still really interested to learn what Azazel is doing in the film. What's his role?

[chaseter]

I'm guessing the whole Xavier lifting the boats going bald thing is him controlling Magnetos mind and forcing Magneto to lift up the boats. Therefore Xavier goes bald just like in the comics. And what I mean by that is Xavier went bald due to telepathy, not telekinesis.

That sounds fine. I just hope it's not the other way.

[JP]

From Chris, who posted the description:
Well before I saw this trailer, I was joining in on all the boycotts and fist ass comments and **** fox and after I saw the trailer, I DEFINITELY want to see this movie. Does that answer a question?

[chaseter]

I think a lot of people have had more faith in Vaughn and Singer than they did with the last two movies.

[Doctor Jones]

I don't know why people would be against this film. There has been nothing but good news about this film thus far.

[Project862006]

^ 3 Simple Letters

[chaseter]

Fun

[Doctor Jones]

Fun

:awesome:

[Downhere]

I think a lot of people have had more faith in Vaughn and Singer than they did with the last two movies.

Yeah, with the talent behind this film being what it is, I think it's safe to say that the movie will come out pretty good.

[X-Maniac]

That sounds fine. I just hope it's not the other way.

And if Magneto were mentally controlled into raising the boats, it would of course explain why he would want a psi-blocking helmet in future (presuming he doesn't have one at that stage)

[chaseter]

That sounds pretty plausible. Would be shocked if they didn't do that. It connects a lot in one simple scene.

[gkokujin]

Xavier having telekineses bothers me a bit like the guy who wrote that.
why does it bother you?

[chaseter]

Because Xavier isn't a telekinetic. It would be like giving Bobby the ability to control water as well.

[Wolverine1988]

I'm guessing the whole Xavier lifting the boats going bald thing is him controlling Magnetos mind and forcing Magneto to lift up the boats. Therefore Xavier goes bald just like in the comics. And what I mean by that is Xavier went bald due to telepathy, not telekinesis.


Yeah thiis is probably what goes down and like someone else pointed out it explains why Magneto wears his helmet in the later movies.

Trailer sounds sweet, i am so pumped for this movie.

[louiebling$]

Because Xavier isn't a telekinetic. It would be like giving Bobby the ability to control water as well.
Well technically :o.......

Well technically :o.......

Bobby can't control ice. He can create it. If there was an ice cube on the table he wouldn't be able to lift it and move it without touching it.

He can create and control ice while he is creating it.

[bosef982]

Guys,

I'm telling you. That trailer is not real. It is all fan-made up.

First of all, McCoy is a kid, which should've been your first clue.

Second, I know what the actual trailer is and it is not that at all.

[bosef982]

Well, does it sound iffy or does it sound straight up false? I only ask because if its only one thing that's slightly different then you could probably chalk that up to the script being pretty fluid throughout production.

JP, it's false. You know you can trust me on that. That's all I can say.

Thanks, bosef. :)

I definitely trust you and Bathammer.

It wouldn't be an X-Men movie without us being duped at least once.

The trailer though is pretty cool. You guys really don't have any clue what you're in store for with this movie though, and it's probably better that way too for your own enjoyment. Singer and Vaughn put together something that redeems the franchise from X3 and Wolverine, and really captures a lot of essence of what the X-Men are about.

I guess the only way I'm going to try and justify the "Dr. McCoy" bit is that, while Hoult is young, Beast does have an extraordinary mind and may have been the Doogie Howser of the X-Men world. :huh:

[Nightmare]

Where the hell is the trailer!?!!

[The Original Bamfer]

Apparently only random people have access to it.

[JP]

I was definitely blinded by desperate excitement before. Looking back, its obviously fake.

We know Platt's character is NOT a member of the Hellfire Club. Hoult is obviously too young to be a doctor. And for a one time viewing of a trailer, it is extremely in depth and specific.

[The Original Bamfer]

You were blinded by desperation! I knew it all along!

[JP]

I'm not up for waiting for a 30 second Superbowl spot. Fulltrailernau.

[bosef982]

The trailer description being fake doesn't bother me because some of it contradicted what player1 had to say, and I really enjoyed his tidbits.

Yes, but even player1 was reporting on stuff he thought was a scene, but was really actors fooling around between takes and doing blooper reels. Like they "YOU WILL HAVE MY BABY LINE!"

[bosef982]

I guess the only way I'm going to try and justify the "Dr. McCoy" bit is that, while Hoult is young, Beast does have an extraordinary mind and may have been the Doogie Howser of the X-Men world. :huh:

Perhaps....

[bosef982]

Apparently only random people have access to it.

It's not so much access, so much as access to the production.

And anyone worth respecting is going to keep their mouths quiet out of respect to the tons of hard work that everyone on this production has poured into this film to make it something special, and something that speaks to how the fan's have been treated with the past two movies.

I don't care about that ****!

[Mulholland '49]

I wasn't 100% convinced, because some of it is contradictory to what we already know. The Oliver Platt thing. Beast looking like Kelsey Grammer (I think player1 confirmed he looks different and even more light blue-ish) I kind of laughed at the Hellfire being at Xavier's bedside... what are they doing? Bringing him breakfast? lol

Can you at least tell us if Havok has red beams or not? :awesome:

[SodaPop]

So upon hearing that the trailer description is fake, a couple of thoughts ran through my head: i hope some of that the scenes described in the film happen, and i hope some of them don't.
The ones that I hope happen are the Xavier going bald with the ships rising up. Like I posted before, this would be perfect for having Xavier mind control Magneto. Another scene is the Azazel scene. Another one is beast flying the X-Jet and getting shot down.
The ones I hope don't happen: The hellfire club at Xavier's bedside. And plus they hopefully don't have the cheesy "one wanted peace" "the other was too far gone" lines next to the respective people... That is just lame.
Now onto the whole "Dr. McCoy" discussion. Who's to say Beast isn't a doctor at a young age? But at the same time, I find it more plausible that he isn't a doctor yet. In my mind, it makes more sense for Beast to leave the Team to finish his Doctorate degree. I mean c'mon, the dude was gone for awhile from the team, he had to be doing something.
Also, why is there such a fuss about Havok's beams? They're energy beams.... Not something huge like a costume or name... But that's just my thoughts. The thoughts of a fan who is cool with creative liberties and a fan who isn't pissy or picky. I guess you could call me a casual fan, but that isn't true.. I'm a guy who just goes with the flow, but that doesn't mean I'm a sheep either... But alas, I'm rambling...

[gkokujin]

Because Xavier isn't a telekinetic. It would be like giving Bobby the ability to control water as well.


yes he is.
he's a low level telekenetic. always has been.

[Wolverine1988]

I thought Beast was older than most of the x-men in this? Late 20's?

Thank goodness for more silence! :P I'm glad that they're trying to make up for how misdirected X3 and Wolverine was .. I don't care much about Wolverine but I'm still raw about X3 .. it could have been so wonderful! I only saw it once in the theatre whereas X-men and X2 I saw more than once. I didn't even bother to go to the theatre with Wolverine..

I thought Beast was older than most of the x-men in this? Late 20's?

I'm assuming he'll be a teenager or young adult, like the rest of the team, save for Magneto and Xavier of course. Bosef said he's a "kid" which makes sense. Till, Jones (or does he technically have two last names, Landry Jones?) and Kravitz all seem like they'd play teenagers. Hoult as well.

[JP]

Well, they're all about 20 years old.. and in Hollywood 20 year olds tend to play 16 year olds. Heh. :p

[Downhere]

Well, they're all about 20 years old.. and in Hollywood 20 year olds tend to play 16 year olds. Heh. :p

[Project862006]

I haven't seen the First Class trailer yet, but the Havok powers (red beam) description is correct. One more thing I can add about what to expect, is that Magneto's helmet looks a hell of a lot better then in the previous movies. Kind of like Jim Lee's version of the helmet if I remember correctly. More sharp edged.

[psyonic]

In a way, I guess it would make sense to have Havok's beam red since his brother's optic blast is red as well .. however, I would applaud the production team if Havok was really Cyclops and I am just speculating because we know nothing about this movie and I keep reading that we're in for surprises and things aren't what they seem .. I am good either way .. I just want a good X movie, that's all :)

The main selling point of that movie will be the apes, and as they are being animated by WETA they will have to wait till they have some decent footage.

I honestly think the advertising is going to be done in the same vein as X3 was done; an exclusive on Fox, the official trailer, and then tv spots throughout the following days. I still remember the hunting down of the like 11-13 tv spots. Such exciting times and then we saw the movie.:csad:

I haven't got that vibe at all yet. I mean, save for advertising, they're not really off track... especially when you consider it's a Fox movie.

yeah, there's roughly five months left to promote the movie which is more than enough for any blockbuster. My guess is that we will be getting a ton of movie news for many big blockbusters this year in the coming weeks.

[gkokujin]

I have never seen Xavier levitate anything. I may be wrong but I don't recall him ever doing any telekinesis.

Only time I saw it was in the Ultimate X-Men stuff
first run of uncanny.

[Matt Mortem]

yes it is

[the a1ant]

EDIT: Confirmed with Fox that the story is false. No trailer with Green Hornet - sorry.

"Nope – not this Friday. We don’t have a confirmed date just yet… Sorry!"

The trailer hits this friday with THE GREEN HORNET

[Crockett]

**** yes! :applaud

*Well that is I hope it's true.

This better be true or I'm going to die. :p Sent an e-mail to Fox publicist once again to see if I can get confirmation. If it's out this Friday they shoud be announcing it by now. We'll see...

[Matt Mortem]

Well since I have absolutely no interest in seeing the Green Hornet, I'll keep my fingers crossed it pops up online soon

[JP]

Ugh. It's because they haven't announced it yet why I don't believe.

OMG guys I am so sorry. Just confirmed with Fox...

"Nope – not this Friday. We don’t have a confirmed date just yet… Sorry!"

I know what Fox is thinking... "Bamfer knows 'First Class' has a great cast and creative crew - he knows it's going to be an awesome movie, so we're going to keep any bit of exciting news to ourselves! Take that Bamfer!"

[JP]

That site is actually the Los Angeles Times. You'd think they'd know what they were talking about. :(

[The Original Bamfer]

Maybe that is when the trailer will debut, but hasn't been officially decided upon by Fox to be announced yet? Or maybe they're debating whether or not to release it earlier on the net? Perhaps the article was true, and, at the same time, Fox isn't lying.

[X-Maniac]

Maybe it's been slightly delayed while they change the Havok power FX from a red beam to something more accurate and more interesting. :woot:

[JP]

You're still talking about a fake description?

[The Original Bamfer]

Well, we don't know that he'll have a red beam. And personally, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

[X-Maniac]

Until I see the real thing, yep.

By the way, Fox told me on January 4 that the trailer would be 'soon, but can't say when'. Didn't post this as it didn't really say anything definite.

Having missed the press screenings for Green Hornet, I'm going to see it at the weekend, out of curiosity more than anything, so I'll know for sure if First Class is with it then.

[JP]

Welp.

The rumor is spreading fast today that the first trailer for Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=50645) will hit theaters this Friday with The Green Hornet (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=19507). Not true, 20th Century Fox tells SuperHeroHype, as the studio is still trying to figure out the launch date. Our guess is that we'll get a first look at the movie during Fox's broadcast of the Super Bowl on February 6, but Fox wasn't able to confirm that.
Stay tuned...

[ViciousValentin]

I like stuff to be in lne with source material too...but FOX has devastated that already. Singer isnt the holy grail to comic movies cause Superman Returns was worse one to date for me personally I would have walked out on it but lady I was with actually liked it and I guarantee shes never thought about reading a comic. But since he did pretty good job on foirst X fliccs I will reserve judgement on this tho, I really hope they put time travel into this story since that has always been involved in X-Men lore potentially set up Cable and /or Apocalypse. The lack of marketing for all these movies coming up gives me a feel for how competitive the market is getting and studios are trying to really bring their A-Game as they genre of comic inspired movies is now HUGE! Thank you MR.Nolan and Favereau(spelling)

[Matt Mortem]

I don't foresee time travel ever being brought into the X-movies

[The Original Bamfer]

May Heaven forbid it.

[steintym]

Dang, I found out about the trailer rumor being shot down before I even knew about the rumor itself.

It's starting to look like this Super Bowl might be packed with superhero trailers.

[Project862006]

so where are those pics singer promised us like 8 months ago lol

[ViciousValentin]

May Heaven forbid it.

Why that though maybe the only way to correct the devestation FOX has done to the continuity of the franchise...plus you have to admit a movie with Cable and Apocalypse would be off the charts...studios need to stop with the watered down comic book flicks and make them all out crazy in scope ALA The Avengers, The Incredible Hulk, and hopefully THor and Captain America...so sick of these water down take your money BS movies like Superman Returns, Spiderman 1 & 3,
X-Men Origins Wolverine and Transformers 2.....start making movies I dont regret paying to see because I'll be there to see them just get tired of feeling like I wasted 2 hours and $40 bucks ( I always take my two sons)

[The Original Bamfer]

I never ever want to see Cable or Apocalypse in a film. Sinister? Definitely.

[JP]

Ehhhhh.. I don't want Bret Ratner or Gavin Hood putting Cable in a film.

Matthew Vaughn? I wouldn't oppose it.

[The Original Bamfer]

I don't know if it could ever work...

[Project862006]

[ViciousValentin]

Stephen Lang would own as Cable...

[JP]

He already loves the character.

You know I lack no imagination. I just don't like time travel and I don't like Cable. At all.

[psyonic]

No promo pics .. fine. No trailer yet .. fine. FOX can't even give us an accurate date ..

[Kane52630]

it seems the same site who said the trailer was going to be released Friday is now doing cover stories of James McAvoy and January Jones

COVER STORY: Fox moved at superheroic speed to fill out the members of “X-Men: First Class” — starting with the man who leads the pack.

The studio hired James McAvoy to play the role of Charles Xavier, the professor who organizes the X-Men band of mutants into a group (and force for good). Patrick Stewart played Xavier in the original set of pictures, but of course as an origin story, many of the characters in “First Class” will skew younger.

McAvoy, who's next up in the Robert Redford post-Civil War drama “The Conspirator,” has played in films with superhero themes before, primarily as a lead character in the assassin picture “Wanted.”

Aussie bombshell Rose Byrne will play Moira MacTaggert, a scientist and love interest of Xavier.

— Steven Zeitchik

COVER STORY: When January Jones was initially cast as mutant telepath Emma Frost in “X-Men: First Class,” she was eager to for the chance to break out of the retro 1960s world of Betty Draper, her character on “Mad Men.” Imagine the actress’ surprise when she learned that prim Betty and the vixen Emma could be partners in time.

“When I heard that this installment of ‘X-Men’ was gonna take place in the ’60s I was like, ‘Oh my God, you must be kidding me!’” Jones said. “But I read the script and familiarized myself with the character of Emma Frost. She’s so, so far from Betty and from ‘Mad Men,’ and it takes place in that time but it doesn’t feel like a period movie.”

A Kennedy-era prequel to the three previous X-Men films, “X-Men: First Class” finds Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and the man who will become known as Magneto (Michael Fassbender) discovering their powers for the first time. The plan is to present them as onetime friends who are pulled down very different paths by life experience and their own worldviews. Some members of the creative team have said that the public-life trajectories of two 1960s icons — the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X — have informed the story arc. Emma Frost, meanwhile, is a member of the villainous Hellfire Club, and she possesses the mutant power to morph into a diamond form.

Frost’s form is well known to comic book fans — IGN readers once voted her “the hottest comic babe,” picking her ahead of Black Widow, Power Girl, Elektra and Catwoman. The reason, no doubt, is Frost’s penchant for especially revealing outfits and the curves beneath those meager threads. “The costumes are insane,” Jones said.

“It’s a lot of very body-conscious stuff. If you look at the comic book, she’s barely dressed. She’s got quite the bod, which is very intimidating.”

Jones, who said she is encouraged to avoid the gym while shooting “Mad Men” to maintain a body typical of the period, flew to London to start shooting “X-Men: First Class” the day after her show wrapped.

“I’m thinking, ‘I’m supposed to be doing crunches on the plane,’” she said. “How am I gonna get buff in one day? I’m a petite person, so I didn’t want to go into a strict workout and eating regime. I would have disappeared entirely, and she’s very busty, very voluptuous, so I didn’t want to get rid of any of my curves.”

The workout-averse Jones lifted some weights for the role, but otherwise struck flattering poses and hoped for the best. She did have some advantages over the other actors when it came to costumes. “I don’t have to do all the crazy prosthetics,” Jones said. “When I morph into my diamond form, it’s all done on computer.”

One of the first things Jones wanted to understand about her character was the source of Emma’s anger, an answer she found by steeping herself in “X-Men” lore.

“Emma was a bespectacled, mousy child who had this power when she was young that she couldn’t quite harness, the telepathy, the mind-twisting stuff,” Jones said. “She had a falling out with her father and went her own direction.”

It wasn’t just learning Emma’s back-story that was important to Jones, but being able to reach hard-core fans. “Fans of the X-Men comics have a very set idea of these characters in their heads,” Jones said. “I wanted to know as much as I could about her so I wasn’t disappointing anyone. I’m sure I will still disappoint someone.”

For Jones, it’s a welcome chance to branch out from 1960s housewife to 1960s bad girl. “I’m riding around in helicopters, I’m in a boat one day, I’m in all these fight sequences, we’re all over the English countryside,” she said. “I feel like I’m a kid playing mutant.”

I wonder if Disney will come out with X-Men Evolution DVDs around the time First Class comes out like they did with TAS when Wolverine premiered. I thought I read on toonzone that Disney got the rights to it.

Does Fox not realize that I am POSTPONING my life for some type of visual news - photos, a trailer, even a really awful, zoomed-in picture of the Alcatraz set from 'X3' where we all thought we saw Cyclops, save for the few who said it was just A CARDBOARD CUTOUT!!! :cmad::csad:

[chaseter]

I still don't think they're actually making a movie....

Me neither:( I am going to be in the theater and then Tom Rothman will come out and in 3D take your wallets and then walk off screen.

Harry Knowles on the "trailer" description.

I've been talking to Matthew Vaughn about this report, which leaked a few days ago. It is true that Fox is testing various trailers right now, but they haven't locked down the final trailer - at least that has been showen to Vaughn. SO - I'd be a little careful taking any of this particularly to heart. At least for a bit. We'll see soon enough.

[Kane52630]

No, Harry, not soon enough. Though I do get the feeling they're holding out on us because they want to give us the best trailer. I'm getting good vibes. But I'm also getting impatient. Well, that's an understatement. But I'll be really extra nice if you let me screen the trailer, Fox! I won't tell no one, no how!

[chaseter]

I guess their first trailer didn't hit off too well so they cut another one or did a Q&A to put in what the audience wanted to see and take out what they didn't like.

So Vaughn doesnt take part of the edition of the trailer?

I dont like that.

The director of Captain America talked a few days ago and it seemed that he was part of the making of the trailer.

[BMM]

We don't know how much Vaughn is involved in the trailer making process, but look at it this way. With only 5 months until the movie's release, would you rather Vaughn spend his time working on the movie to make sure it's the best that it can be... or would you rather he spend his time working on a trailer? I'll take the former.

[Angamb]

the trailer can be made after the shooting finish.

[BMM]

:doh: You know what else needs to be made after the shooting finishes? The movie.

the movie is done, in a sense, they have to edite it.

[StarkTheProdigy]

We're getting more goodies from the untitled Spider-Man reboot that comes out in 2012, more than this, which comes out in about six months...now is a good time for an actual still or teaser poster...at minimum.

next time, xmen costumes!! :woot:

I would be really good with some costume pics right now. We got nothin' which is bullcrap. Spider-Man doesn't come out for another like 12 years and they have pics out. X-Men fans get **** on once more :(

Maybe if we're nice, we'll get something? Nah, screw that!

Well be really happy the day we see the first trailer or pics, so I dont mind to wait a bit more.

I know I will enjoy the movie more than the previous movies, so Im really quiet about it.

Is it really that difficult to release one photo? At the very least they could give us a photo of McAvoy as Xavier just standing there. I'll take anything at this point. *desperate* :(

Those articles JP posted about the changes in marketing people must really be affecting things over there.

Its alright. (Still bitter about no Spidey 4 :p)

Its odd, I always used to think X-Men and Spider-Man were Marvel's two massive franchises that would always take first priority. As in those fans would be pleased first.

Nice? I went and saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine twice out of the goodness in my heart!!! :oldrazz:

A bit over the top, JP. You're not normally the one to have geekgasms. I hope there were tissues handy!

It's a good costume, for sure. Better than the Maguire one, which i posted on my site for comparison. As one commenter said, that outfit now looks dated and impractical.

[Ipodman]

Anthony, you have connections! Start harassing!

'Just kidding, Fox! We love you! Please give us something so I can stop kissing your ass! :hrt:

They gave you the whole movie 2 years ago :wow: Jus kidding...

[chaseter]

The person I want to see the most is Beast as well. I am just hoping for not Cat Beast. After being sorta disappointed in how Spidey looks, I want my X-Men to look fantastic.

[X-Maniac]

I would have expected at least one official image by now. It does seem strange.

[steintym]

At this point, I'd take a logo or lame teaser poster. Very surprised that absolutely nothing has been released.

[Angamb]

Clearly Fox is using a new strategy this time.

I kind of like it.
