Koete Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Not me. I think setting it in the sixties adds something new to the franchise and to the modern era of superhero films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 This reboot should add some life into it. Now if Logan shows up in it, that would be milking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 This reboot should add some life into it. Now if Logan shows up in it, that would be milking it. It's a reboot? I did not know that. Even so, I think they should gave that franchise a rest, though it's not WAY too soon like the Spider-Man reboot.

KnightWing Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 It's kinda weird that aside from Beast, none of the actual first class of X-students seem to be in this movie. Are they still trying to keep to the first three films' continuity by not having Cyclops, Jean, and Iceman in this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 No no no, see, when Spock went back in time, he created an alternate reality. None of what happened before matters anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 January Jones confirms they are doing both the diamond and telepathy for Emma. She did have some advantages over the other actors when it came to costumes. "I don't have to do all the crazy prosthetics... When I morph into my diamond form, it's all done on computer." Jones said that one of the first things she wanted to understand was the source of Emma's anger. "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." http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/113153-january-jones-on-playing-emma-frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Cool. So that girl in Wolverine wasn't actually Emma FROST, just a random diamond-girl named Emma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Cool. So that girl in Wolverine wasn't actually Emma FROST, just a random diamond-girl named Emma. Which would kind of make sense because why wouldn't Xavier use his mind to talk to the telepath that can see instead of the regular guy with his eyes covered to escape.

JackFetch Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Spoilers from the coming trailer: ♦ The trailer opens with the 20th Century Fox logo which pans up as the two spotlight beams cross and form a white "X" on the left of the screen. A white circle goes around the "X" forming the X-Men logo, as Magneto's helmet comes up on the right. ♦ Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellan voice over the opening lines about destiny and which side will you stand for as scenes of each in their previous X-Men movie roles flash until the entire screen flashes from white to black. ♦ A very young Xavier and Erik meet for the first time, followed by a different angle of the scene from the opening of X-Men in the concentration camp. ♦ Camera pans outside of an old castle-style building that greatly resembles the X-mansion. McAvoy and Fassbender are seen walking through the halls. The words "One wanted peace" flash by Xavier. ♦ Scene transitions to Erik yelling dramatically as metal tables in the room begin to float around him. Xavier and Mags shake hands with a tall man in a lab coat introduced as Dr. McCoy. ♦ The words "The other was too far gone" flash as a very pissed off Erik storms through a hallway killing guards as he passes them. ♦ Cut scene to what appears to be a red Nightcrawler with swords taking out a room full of people; the close up reveals Azazel's face. ♦ The Hellfire Club stand next to Xavier on a bed as Emma goes into diamond form. Olver Platt and Kevin Bacon were next to Emma in black aristocratic clothes, with Emma wearing the exact same outfit from the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon. ♦ Mystigue on a bed with her skin turning black; Beast is shown transforming, with his feet growing and toes webbing and fur growing. ♦ Havok shoots a red beam of energy—looks almost exactly like cyclops's eye beam, but larger -- from his chest (SIDE NOTE: Havok's powers in comics have always had a blue energy, this change may be to relate his character to Cyclops). ♦ It then shows Beast all blue and furry (looking almost exactly like Kelsey Grammer in make-up) in the pilot seat of a crashing jet, followed by several rockets flying towards an island. ♦ Xavier's face goes all CGI and his head begins to go bald as he mentally pulls a large ship that was sinking out of the water, as well as some smaller boats around it (seems to allude to Xavier have telekinesis). ♦ Back to Xavier (with hair) telling Erik he only wanted peace for him, and he replies there was never a chance for anyone to have that. ♦ Final scene: Erik picks up a black helmet, then he is shown from behind wearing a black and red suit (no cape or coat though) and the helmet. Screen cuts to black and the X-Men: First Class logo shows up (the one described above), then the release date. Source I debated the spoiler tags since anything in the trailer wouldn't be a spoiler, but they might decide to take something out before it's released.

Koete Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Nice that they're homaging the original costumes. I'm still cautiously optimistic about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 So from left to right anyone care to help ID them? Magneto, Moira Mactaggart (?), White Queen, ? , Azazel (?) , Havok, Angel Salvadore (?), Mystique, Professor X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 That's pretty awesome. Never expected actual comic-book-style costumes, especially with Emma. Magneto, Moira, White Queen, Azazel, Beast, Havok, Angel Salvadore, Mystique, Xavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 So Azazel is the pink one? I suppose if the blue one is meant to be Beast that makes sense. Weird that Angel is in there without Beak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Azazel's always been red, yeah. The blue thing with Nightcrawler comes from Mystique. Also, judging by the fact that Mystique looks so much like her other appearances, and the lack of any ACTUAL First Class X-Men aside from Beast, I think it's safe to say that this is meant to be a prequel in the already-existing X-men storyline. Which sucks, but whatever. If it's good it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Unless this movies takes places over many years, there's a problem here. Havok looks only slightly younger than Xavier, so how much older is Alex than Scott - 30 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prez Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Ok, so I looked up Angel Salvadore on wikipedia, having barely a recollection of her. I understand M-Day and shit, but this is ridiculous. She went from this: to this? And this: Is what Beak looks like now? Sooo, "depowering" meant they turned into supermodels? EDIT: I know this has nothing to do with the movie version of the character - I hope - I'm just saying that's fucking ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well, let's see.... If Scott was 40 in X-Men 1 (which is really pushing it), and that took place in 2005-ish, then he'd have been born in 1965, about when this film takes place. Havok looks to me like he could be as young as 17-18, so there's about a 20-year gap between them. But that definitely does make for huge problems, then. Having Scott and Alex not be young boys together (and making Alex the older one) is certainly bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 There is about a 10-15 year difference between Scott and Alex if Wolverine took place in the late 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah, there's that, but then there's the fact that the first X-Men film took place sometime after 2000. The entire timeline is crap now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm definitely a fan of the White Queen! Who the hell is Azazel anyway? And will he be banging the teenage Mystique there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
