The Official DANGER ROOM Thread

[GNR]

You know what since they havent even started post production yet maybe after post production they will make that robot looking machine be an actual Sentinel. Maybe that is how they will include a Sentinel, through a danger room scenerio which would be cool because that way they dont have to actually have a storyline with them yet we still get to see a team fighting a Sentinel through a Danger Room scenario.

Possibly,notice the concrete block being dropped on the car as well.This is probably going to get replaced with something in post-prod.

 

[The Infernal]

The object where the blue light is coming from.

Just looks like a search light on top of a wall to me.

 

[aaron]

so why do they use different things in teasers if they replace them in post-production, and is this dne purely by using cgi?

 

[liverlips]

When that Wolverine vs. Omega Red/Colossus vs. Juggernaut spoiler hit on xmenfilms, it also described a scene where Storm pulls Wolverine out of the way of a Sentinel's foot crashing down on a car. I thought the scoop was debunked, but maybe there was some truth there?

 

[aaron]

Yeah does sound like it so some truth to rickys s***

 

[The Apocalypse]

It doesn't look like a Sentinal from what I know one looks like. The thing that Storm pulls Logan away from is very square doesn't look like a foot.

 

[vibeke_T]

i suppose post production magic could take place

It's the concrete thing that they used as a load-bearing object to tie the harnesses on to during the Worthington Labs filming labelled "PHX". They'll more than likely fix that in post or the thump might be too fast no one in the audience will notice that it's just concrete.

Look at the scene (1:24) where Wolverine is being thrown into the air in slo-mo. He's headed for some bright red-pink flare light. Hmm? It would be such a classic scene if he was being hurled towards a Danger Room-created Sentinel and trashed it!

Like Xfan said...a good place to put a Sentinel, would be in a Danger Room senario, so they wouldn't have to go through all that stuff. And since apparently the Danger Room is creating this senario, it seems like it could create a Sentinel one?

Seems like this Danger Room isn't what they were originally going to go for with X2 (big room with moving metal blocks and lasers). This looks like there's shi-ar technology going on in there

 

[aaron]

How would they know to put sentinels in the danger room scenario then if there wasnt anything happening with them in ways of a storyline, and if they didnt exist

 

[Avalanche]

I thought the Danger Room sequence was set to be a 'warzone' of sorts? I certainly got that flavour from the early shots of the X-Men in the trailer. Would a Sentinel have any place in that scenario?

f***, he is!

 

[Weadazoid]

how do we know those shot.. the war like shot are actual danger room shots????

 

[aaron]

because...first shot is a door, second is them heading into the room

wolverine smoking cigar....

Those who visited the sets here in Vancouver and consequently being the first to see the teaser have suggested that they're in the Danger Room in this scene. The first sequence of the teaser (walking through the X-mansion basement halls) seems to suggest that the same characters (Storm, Logan, Colossus, Iceman, Kitty sans Rogue ) that were in that sequence just came from a session in the Danger room. Seems like Kitty's exhausted.

I'm actually against showing the Sentinels in the Danger Room now, especially after the near-confirmation (?) that Bill Dukes is playing Trask. It'll be very questionable for the X-men/Danger Room to know what the Sentinels will look like, much less that Sentinels are in the works.

but teasers..and trailers rarely follow any kind of timeline.........


Something tells me those ain't danger room shots

Wolvie chilling out with a cigar while Bobby and Kitty's lives are on the line?Doubt it.

And it didn't here.

The first shot is of them walking down the hall, the training session seems to be completed. The Danger room shots are shown much later in the teaser.

Oh and here's the pic i shot of the PHX concrete block during the Worthington Labs filming.

Yeah,..that's the main thing that's bugging about that possibility...I think they're other kinds of mechanical obstacles recreated by the Danger Room..

Oh yeah, is that your X3 wallpaper there, kol?!...That looks sweet...Can I get in on that?

Hmmm,those blocks were at the Worhtington site and the Bridge set???Hmmm.....

Howdy all, this is my first post here and I think it will rattle a few cages.

I'm predicting that those clips aren't from the danger room at all, and are a real-life battle vs sentinels.

Bear with me.

Firstly, what do we have supporting the danger room theory?

The door - It could just as easily be the door to the x-jet hangar or a briefing/debriefing room before or after the battle shown.

Wolvie puffing a stogie - If this is too casual for a real life or death battle, I believe the fear and intensity shown by Bobby and Kitty is too much for a simulation. Also, as mentioned previously, those 2 scenes do not necessarily occur at the same time. It could simply be a moment of badass character building (with his own movie slated for the future). If I had just gutted a sentinel, for example, I would take a brief moment to pat myself on the back. Or maybe he's feeling self-pity and distant after losing Jean for a second time. It could also be a scene from the very end of the battle, we just don't know. Teasers are often intentionally misleading and out of chronological order.

The WWII setting - I don't think it is. Any city that had just been nailed by a full scale mutant vs sentinel battle would look like that, and the car Storm pulls Logan away from is definitely not from the '40s. Check it out. I can accept that the blocks/crates would be altered to become a sentinel foot in post-production, but replacing a car would just be silly. Cars of that era were taller anyway, so it would be a poor match for digital replacement.


Now, what do I have to support my theory?

Bolivar Trask - As good a hint as we could hope for that sentinels will play some part.

References to the ultimate battle between mutant and man - Again, hard to picture without sentinels. It would be a walkover, especially with the number of mutants in the movie.

The sheer number of mutants in this movie - Large amounts of mutants suddenly makes sense if the sentinels are attempting to wipe them out. All hands on deck.

The laser beams coming down from high above.

The purple glow on Wolverine as he flies through the air towards his target.

The fastball special itself - If Logan was thrown at a small flying target he would likely miss, especially if it was moving. A sentinel however, would make a fairly easy target.

The amount of clips shown from this battle - The movie will have quite a few pretty big battles, and this one looks to play a major part. If the danger room is in the movie, I think it will play a smaller role than this battle appears to.

Sentinels in the danger room - While we don't know that they actually are sentinels, as someone has already mentioned it would make no sense to have them in the danger room if they had not been encountered in real life.

The talk of this being the final x-men movie - If you want to go out with a bang, the only other option would be Apocalypse (and I don't think that's gonna happen in X3), especially with the running theme of man vs mutant.

The "PHX" blocks - They look about the size of a sentinel's foot to me. Perfect for a placeholder.


If I was including sentinels AND the danger room, I'd keep both of them under wraps as long as I could. It's possible that both are yet to be seen.
It's all specualtion on my part but I think it fits. It also answers a lot of questions, whereas the danger room theory just seems to raise them.


Be gentle. Remember, I'm new.

 

[aaron]

so are these blocks uses to create the same effect as e.g. a sentinel foot, and then later replaced with cgi?

Hmmm...you may have point there Kol! With Trask in the movie anything's possible now.

 

[aaron]

Im just wondering why they would only be in a danger room sequence though, because if they were, it would be stupid in the whole plot because how would the x-men know who and what the sentinels are without them being created by trask and having to battle them, i feel they need to be in the plot if they are to be in the danger room sequence

e.g. they fight them in the city, and they then add them to the danger room sequence in a later scene to see how they will be able to destroy them
