Days of Future Past The Sentinels

[newwaveboy87]

The only way I see Fox legitimately rebooting X-Men is if they come into contractual issues with this franchise's major players (be it actors, producers, directors, etc) a lá Spiderman. This franchise is too successful and invested to be rebooted from scratch anytime soon. Batman had become a critical joke and did not perform well financially--hence the legit reboot.

I think we're seeing Fox take a page from Marvel and planning larger more connected projects down the line. These might allow for a "tonal reboot" from film to film (like an X-Force) film. With a broader vision, they can plan for when actors will no longer continue the character and perhaps bid a farewell to their characters in films and introduce new characters to "carry the torch" so-to-speak.

They can/will reboot when the actors age out of their roles, which is a very real possibility. Also, Lawrence and Fassbender are in pretty high demand. I'm sure they won't be terribly "cheap" for much longer. Lawrence in particular what with the Hunger Games and an Oscar, her asking price has probably gone way up.

Batman is one of those exceptions IMO. Just because the character and the world is SO HUGE and so iconic to American pop culture, the stories of that character will be told until the world exists no longer.

But X-Men aren't iconic as Batman. Amazing Spider-Man is the most unnecessary movie I have ever seen in my life. Man of Steel I haven't seen yet, I don't particularly care for Superman, but Superman kind of sits in the same category as Batman.

As far as other reboots:

-Star Trek 2009
-Casino Royale (although I don't consider this a reboot so much as a standard Bond recasting)
-Incredible Hulk
-Already discussions of Fantastic 4 and Daredevil
-Punisher War Zone
-I think Jack Ryan got rebooted, but I don't watch those movies

No, Casino Royale was a reboot. It sent Bond back to his early years and has been slowly reintroducing characters like Moneypenny and Q in the sequels. Judi Dench reprising M kinda made it complicated.

Daredevil and F4 need to be redone. Their original film versions were TERRIBLE. I agree about the rest. Star Trek didn't impress. Not sorry about it.

The Sentinels are going to give people nightmares. They will be one of the first robots on screen designed to kill humans.

 

[Green Goblin]

You can hide from a Terminator, but a Sentinel can just walk right through a house haha.

I thought it might be time to bump this thread up to begin more discussion as we come closer to release and new info comes out.

[Tissues]

Sentinels are females. Look at the ovaries.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Sentinels are females. Look at the ovaries.

I always knew women would be the death of civilization and now we have cinematic proof.

 

[SuperT]

Really can't wait to see what the Mark X looks like!

 

[KidxMikexMcfly]

I'm interested to see how the future sentinels will look.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I hope they look as menacing and frightening as humanly possible, especially to contrast their 1973 counterparts.
