X-MEN: Days Of Future Past (Casting, Rumors, Pics till release)

[Set Harth]

I just hope we don't know everything about this film by the time it comes out.

 

[The Old Mixer]

The cryptic hint we got from Singer is that his walking comes "with a cost"

His hair...?

LOL. Once it gone why would he stop doing it? It never grew back. Sitting in a chair.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

It might explain his ability to walk in the flashback in The Last Stand.

Dumping a few more stills. Everything looks like it's straight from a comic page.

I hear Jennifer Lawrence will wear a unitard instead of the pasties.

Quicksilver put me off at first but I'm enjoying this scene a lot.

I'm curious why Magneto needs to set up an arena.

I'm loving the ranges of abilities in this movie.

What happens to Wolverine's original body after he's sent back? Also, who's sending him back? I don't think it's Blink.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Kitty Pryde sends him back.

 

[bbjeg]

I thought it was another character. I was going to ask how Kitty got those abilities but I feel that's spoiler territory.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Same trailer, but with Conan introducing it. His comment at the end is shared by us all.

 

[Argus Skyhawk]

I was just thinking today that it's been nearly 14 years since X-Men came out. Since then, we've had two actors play Superman (3 if you count Tom Welling), Ben Affleck has become the second actor to be cast as Batman since then, we're on the second iteration of Spider-man since 2001, there have been two different takes on the Hulk (and I'm being generous and counting the Norton/Ruffalo incarnation as one), two Punishers, 2 Catwomen, 2 Blades (including the tv show, though the first Blade movie predated X-Men) and the second modern incarnation of the Fantastic Four has gone into production. Yet the core cast of the first X-Men movie are returning to reprise their roles. How cool is that?

Truly cool indeed!

It's Alternate Trailer 4.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

It's Alternate Trailer 4.

Well...

Thank you very much!

 

[Timby]

All of the 1970s stuff looks solid. The future material, though, looks straight out of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

 

[thumbtack]

Uh-oh. Singer's in trouble again. Marketing can't be pleased.

 

[Captaindemotion]

It's a civil case. I don't think it will be anywhere near as damaging as had it been a criminal investigation or prosecution.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Also something to wait and see about. It could take years before anything is known one way or the other.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

I don't think there'll be much, if any, impact on DOFP's box office, but, depending on how things unfold, there could be a major impact on Singer's life and career, including perhaps being removed from working on Apocalypse.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I keep hearing that the kid was actually 17.. the legal age of consent. I also question of the Statute of Limitations has expired.

Also, with DofP his BIGGEST film ever, don't you find the timing of these allegations suspect?

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

I keep hearing that the kid was actually 17.. the legal age of consent.

Some of the allegations concern things said to have happened in California, where the age of consent is 18, plus the nature of the allegations is that there wasn't consent for all of the sexual acts.

I also question of the Statute of Limitations has expired.

Hawaii passed a law temporarily suspending the statute of limitations in sex abuse cases.

Also, with DofP his BIGGEST film ever, don't you find the timing of these allegations suspect?

Yes, possibly so. We'll have to see how things unfold.
