Im sure despite the cheesy pics itll turn out alright. Its got Synger producing, Vaughan directing and Jane whatsherbigtitsJonathanross's wife writting



So here we have (dunno guy on the left) Magneto, Mystique, Moira Mactaggart, Beast, Xavier and Havoc





What I reckon is I don't fucking know. I don't why they couldn't reboot the damn thing and put the original Line-up in the film. I'll throw a hissy if Alex Summer is a total different character. At least they are ignoring that fucking stupid ass Wolverine film. A film so bad it should be disowned by Stan Lee and Mickey Mouse!!

That's Kevin Bacon from Footloose. Yeah Wolverine was beyond shit. I'm not gonna bother with this, there are far more interesting things to watch. The idea of a female 50 year old socialite punk writing it says it all.

I'm looking forward to the Green Lantern.

Here's my things:
Jean & Scott need to be in this,
having Tempest seems desperately random,
Banshee needs to be in there somewhere
wtf is Havok doing there?

But since it's in the same timeline as the last 3 X-movies I guess that's how it is. Hopefully the rumors are true & it'll have a real
Silver Age vibe to it.

I totally agree. I thnk they should have just rebooted the series IMO

Matthew Vaughan Talks abou X-men...*facepalm* Smells like Wolverine

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How would you describe First Class to the uninitiated?
MATTHEW VAUGHN: The best way of describing it is X-Men meets Bond, with a little bit of Thirteen Days thrown in for good measure. It’s set in the ’60s, and I basically molded a young Magneto on a young Sean Connery. He’s the ultimate spy — imagine Bond, but with superpowers.

If Magneto is Bond, then what about Charles Xavier?
You’re seeing Xavier become a professor. For me, Magneto is the good guy in the film, but he’s a sort of a good bad guy. He literally kicks off the film, and Xavier goes along on the ride trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and trying to persuade Erik that you don’t have to kill everyone.

I know you’re under tight restrictions about what you can reveal regarding the plot, but, well, what else can you say?
In the beginning of the film, no one knows that mutants exist, and all the mutants don’t know that each other exist. They’re all in hiding. Kevin Bacon plays a very megalomaniac mutant [Sebastian Shaw] who decides that he can take over the world and that mutants are the future. Erik and Charles then meet each other and hook up with the CIA to try and prevent World War III. You find out everything about what went on between Erik and Charles.

And there are flashbacks with Erik and Charles as young children?
They’re not flashbacks — we start there. It starts in 1942, and then works its way up to 1962.

Did you have any concerns about how, no matter what you do, you may anger some of the die-hard fans?
Yeah, but I could tell those fans that they’re wrong. One thing about the X-Men world is that, if you know your X-Men universe, every writer reinvented the storyline. I did my research, and none of the histories of the characters make any sense. Each writer just totally changed the history to make their plot work. So I can quite safely say that X-Men has a history of reinventing its history for the sake of the plot.

Is the film related at all to the First Class comics?
Not really. There are a lot of nods to the X-Men world and the X-Men movies, but it’s definitely its own beast.

So he directs one decent comic film and now he's position to tell comic fans that they're wrong about the x-men. Thankfully the casting was spot on for Kick-Ass otherwise it would have been a pile of shit, let's see how many people pay to watch his version of the x-men.

Not to mention he said it has a lot of teenage angst and compared it to... *gulp* Twilight.

Either his English sense of humour doesn't translate well in interviews...or he just revealed himself as a grade-A douchebag.

Bad enough this is a quickly slapped together cash-grab film for Fox, but now the director is rubbing our noses in it?

Tell me about it. I reckon this is a "Paycheck" film churned out for the sake of it.

Question

Are Fox gonna lose the fantastic 4 license? surely it runs out this year?

That's why they've been "working" on reboots of both that & Daredevil to keep the rights

Isn't it Fantastic three now that Johnny Storm had his flame put out?

Considering the other 3 have died & comeback at some point Johnny'll do the same.

I don't think they are rebooting f4 anymore they were gonna.

Do they have the rights still for DD?

I've heard rumours the DD rights have already reverted back to Marvel.
Hopefully the F4 reboot won't happen in time so they'll get them back as well.

I just got through reading 3, yeah it's Johnny that bites it. Kinda glad they didn't do the cliche thing & make it Sue.
Be willing to betcha he's back before the Avengers film comes out, though.

Dunno, but last I heard (last year) they were working on reboots for both of them so until we hear differently, I'd assume so.

It's also probably why we have a Ghost Rider sequel on the way.
