Days of Future Past Days of Future Past News and Discussion - Part 2

[Mrs Vimes]

I wouldn't be so sure on that.We have 8 from trilogy In film vs 4 from First Class. Yes they have major ones who survived first Class but they have dropped the entire first Class supporting cast.That's strange If most of film takes place In
1973.Kinda strange they would bring back so many of OT cast for only a small
part of film and yet drop the first Class supporting cast.

That could just mean that they'll have a whole new supporting cast in the 70s.

"Four FC main characters in the 70s" does not necessarily equal "four characters in the 70s in total".

 

[Hawkingbird]

It's pretty clear now that most of the film takes place in the seventies so I highly doubt the only First Class actors returning are Lawrence, McAvoy, Fassbender and Hoult. I'd say there's a good chance we'll get Caleb Landry and Lucas Till back and maybe Rose Byrne.

Not bothered about Rose. Desperate for Lucas and Caleb.

New McAvoy quotes:

He says he getting to together with Ian, Patrick, Hugh and Halle. I wonder if they are the time travelers.

He says he getting to together with Ian, Patrick, Hugh and Halle. I wonder if they are the time travelers.

No, they're just the biggest names in the X-Men franchise, and most recognizable as their characters. Honestly it would've been kinda weird if he said he's getting together with Shawn, Ellen, Anna and Daniel instead.

definition magazine ‏@definitionmags 3h 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past' will be shooting 3D, using the new Arri Alexa-M cameras with Leica Primes and Fujinon Zooms.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Well nice to know they will be filming In 3-d and not converting to 3-d In post production.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Arri Alexa is amazing. Deakins shot Skyfall with it.

 

[Iceman]

Good, glad they're doing that. The 3D might even be worth paying for for once.

 

[JP]

A lot of huge movies have used that camera since its creation in 2010.

Hugo
Argo
Life of Pi
Skyfall
The Avengers
Zero Dark Thirty
Iron Man 3
Thor 2

 

[Tacit Ronin]

It's probably the most "film like" digital camera in the world. You watch the trailers for IM 3, and you can swear it was shot on film. But it's not.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Sherlock Series 2 is also shot on the Alexa. It's truly gorgeous.

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

Better than Red Epic I suppose.

 

[Angamb]

Bryan and Fox are clearly following Avengers steps

Pulled from another thread. Quotes from Singer that ONCE AGAIN prove that the main 4 from First Class are still the leads of this film.

X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn cast her to play a younger version of Mystique, the blue-skinned mutant played by Rebecca Romijn in the original films, for his 2011 preboot. Her supporting character took a backseat to mutant frenemies played by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, but the actress made an immediate impression on First Class producer Bryan Singer, who’s directing the sequel, Days of Future Past.

“There was a sequence they were doing with James and Mike, and I noticed that she had no trouble speaking her mind, in a fun way,” laughs Singer. “She and Matthew sort of had a back and forth about what was working and what wasn’t, and it just sort of struck me that of all the actors standing on the platform, she was among the youngest and yet she was able to be the most vocal.”

Last April, Fox pushed back its start date for Days of Future Past, sidestepping a scheduling conflict with Catching Fire, which filmed last fall and just wrapped reshoots. Days of Future Past finally gets underway April 14 in Montreal, and Lawrence’s character is expected to play a larger role in the sequel, though Singer says that was always the plan and nothing has been changed plotwise to showcase her presence.

“You have to be careful not to suddenly lean the movie all towards her just for her rise in popularity,” Singer says. “It has to work for the character. She’d be the first person to argue that. It’s an ensemble movie. It’s definitely not suddenly her movie, but she factors in it significantly. She’s going to be more bad-ass in this movie, which will be nice. A lot more bad-ass than Hunger Games. Which will be fun to see, because she’s very feisty, as you may have noticed in Silver Linings.”

“In an industry where people are so worried about everything and put such importance on the process it takes to get ready for the Academy Awards — like what was your process to put on a dress and take a shower? — she understands the lack of importance of that,” says Singer, who got to know Lawrence better in England during the filming of Jack the Giant Slayer, which stars Lawrence’s now ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult. “She doesn’t care what people think about her, what she looks like, her weight, her attitude, her anything. She just doesn’t.”

Glad she'll get some badass moments. I was underwhelmed with FC Mystique.

 

[JP]

I wasn't. I understood what her role was...

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

I love Mystique. I, too, understood her role in First Class...

 

[Sawyer]

Well good for the both of you.

Obviously I must've been out of the loop, because I was bored with her.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

I'm sorry to hear that...

 

[Sawyer]

You should be!

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Want a huggy? I feel ur pain, man.

It's probably the most "film like" digital camera in the world. You watch the trailers for IM 3, and you can swear it was shot on film. But it's not.

Well that is a good thing to hear!

It won't look like it was shot using a digital camera, I really hated the camera work on The Amazing Spider-Man, the camera shots looked so cheap.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I'm glad this is being shot in 3D. Those sentinel battles are going to be so good.

Glad she'll get some badass moments. I was underwhelmed with FC Mystique.

I was too. She didn't kick a single ass in FC. No point in her being in the beach battle, except to go over to Magneto's side in the end.

 

[psylockolussus]

Well she helped Beast by tricking Azazel.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

How did she trick Azazel? I haven't seen the movie in a while and I forgot she did that.
