Days of Future Past Bryan Singer Directing X-Men: Days of Future Past - Part 5

[JP]

"Tomorrow is all begins"

I wonder what we'll get tomorrow?

 

[Gee]

I have just recently found out they are starting to shoot tomorrow in my city. Cool beans.

 

[Duran Man]

Perhaps a synopsis and a more complete cast list.

 

[icekid]

anyone who hasn't read the comics wont have an idea of what this films about, its just alot of people are guessing what the result at the end of this film, while actually we don't know anything

all we know is singer has put up a picture of the 2 wheelchairs

singer is gonna want the ending to not be obvious surely

People who have no idea what the film is about or what the comics even involve aren't looking at the director's twitter for tidbits on the film. That won't make sense for the casual viewer.

Maybe the wheelchair isn't even in the film, it's in their office, probably taken out of storage, and sitting there for homage. Maybe he will just simply stand by and look at the chair. Who knows? Him being in the chair at any point of the film isn't guaranteed, but highly unlikely given the initial circumstances of his return.

 

[Duran Man]

Magneto could be the one in the wheelchair.

 

[Sawyer]

Well. Speaking of costumes.

That's something new.

i can't see singer taking a picture of the 2 chairs for no reason at all, let alone getting it out of storage just for that

id be surprised if singer treated the wheel chair like well we know he will back in it in the end, doesn't seem like a clever move for film making

 

[GuestStar2004]

Magneto could be the one in the wheelchair.

i thought that why would he be in Xaviers wheel chair... seems slightly odd to say least

 

[Duran Man]

Brittle bones in his old age, and it would be a nod to the original story.

 

[Dark Raven]

I sense wheelchair races coming up in this movie.

 

[icekid]

I do think he will be in the wheelchair in the end, but I want to seem him up and about during the post-apocalypic scenes. He has a new body, maybe he'll have new mutations in terms of mental mutations. Xavier thrashing around some Sentinels with telekinesis anyone?

 

[MarvelU]

Singer is pretty good with "human/mutant detention" just by going from X1 and X2. The opening to X1 was pretty good with Magneto and his family being taken into a concentration camp, also in X2 with William Striker taking mutants hostage for experimentation. This should be a piece of cake for Singer.

 

[marvelrobbins]

I think the twin s a bit like when he was cloned.That Is something that has hardly been
mentioned In comics.The question Is will he already be In chair when film begins In future
or will that be plot devolpment.The wheelchair defently won't be saved for end of film.

The set Bryan tweeted may be hidden chair at bottom of subbasement leval.Maybe that's
where he does the mind switch If that Is indeed the time travel.

Thank god Bryan tweeted something to get others off Halle Berry and her pregnency.

 

[Mad Ones]

Awesome! Patrick Stewart in something that isn't a suit!

Do you think they're maybe really going with the twin thing?

Please no. I could not cope.

I agree 100%

 

[marvelrobbins]

Your going to have to cope.Just as I had to deal with Bryan not doing the obvious expection and just pull a Superman Returns on Last Stand and Origins.For some reason he
decided to keep those films In Cannon at least till after the time traveling Is done.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

And, I'm hoping they do go with it just to see the reactions, particularly yours.

He'll be fine. If not, we can administer CPR and bring him back.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Which actors and actresses are actually in town to start shooting tomorrow? That may be a clue as to any pics we may see this week (like this one).

 

[JP]

Ashmore, Stewart, McKellen, Lawrence, Paquin and Berry that I know of. Jackman is in NYC still but heading there soon. Cudmore is in LA and heading there in the next few days.

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

I thought Berry was still promoting her movie.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Yeah, I thought Halle was in New Zealand or something like that for "The Call".

 

[JP]

My mistake.

 

[psylockolussus]

Well. Speaking of costumes.

That's something new.

YAY! Its black! t:

Keeping the color of the leather costumes!

Perhaps a synopsis and a more complete cast list.

Yes, FOX should release an official statement about this movie.

 

[Mrs Vimes]

I'm not sure why it gets so much flack. In a world where people have the ability to shoot freakin' lasers from their eyes, manipulate the weather, shapeshift, create illusions, and other out-of-this world abilities, sending one's consciousness to another body is odd? (or whatever the real problem with it is).

What makes the whole twin scenario lame is not the mechanics of it but the way it was handled. It was just clumsily inserted into the movie out of a blue with no mention of Xavier ever having had a comatose twin brother. Magneto moving a chess piece was another "let's leave a door to the potential sequel", but that did not feel forced or lame.

And because it happened in a post-credit sequence that most people wouldn't even have seen, most people would only remember Xavier's death from X3. Which means that if they wanted to go with the twin scenario in DoFP, it requires another clumsy explanation that will just make people go huh what?

 

[psylockolussus]

But post-credit sequence still counts and its still part of the movie.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

They did highlight the comatose man earlier in the X3 film as Xavier was teaching his class. But yes, they failed to draw the connection to him as a blood relative. However, I'm not sure if it will make much of a difference if it's carefully and quickly explained in this film.
