X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (Casting, Rumors, Pics till release)

Not all movies have the budget to market their movie this far out. They only went into production like what? 2 months ago? Like Admiral Young said, as we near closer and closer, I'm sure it will be a different story. After all, FOX did rush this into preproduction and then into production fairly quick so they could be able to hit the release date, so maybe alot of the focus is to get this in the can and in the edit bay. I remember hearing they also had to scrap a scene that was too similar to Inceptions and seeing other various photos of January as Emma so it's not like they been completely secretive either.
 
Same here and none of that teaser stuff just showing the logo either. I really hate those promos. "Look we can do motion graphics, yay!"
 
I want a trailer as well. There is also some secrecy I would assume which is why there hasn't been any official releases or things like that. We just need to be patient! Glad to know there's no trolling lol.

I'm not trolling at all. I just don't understand how some movies have websites with instantaneous behind the scenes information and features and there has been nothing like that for First Class. Normally there are in set interviews with cast and crew or conceptual details. Where is all of that? For a film that is supposed to be as big as this one should be, we usually hear a lot more a lot sooner. Were they somehow editing and doing effects and scoring as they went? I really hope there are some video diaries and such when the DVD eventually comes out. It just seems like they filmed this movie in a complete vacuum. Sorry, maybe it's just me.

You can't force it to happen.
They'll show and tell us what they want, when they're ready.
 
The Green Hornet would be a good film to showcase the X-Men: First Class trailer. It comes out in January, so it's entirely possible.

The first teaser trailer for X-Men: The Last Stand came out in December 2005 and the next trailer came out in March 2006 (the film came out in May 2006), so First Class is already taking a different approach marketing-wise. That might be because either 20th Century Fox is trying to keep the lid on things as much as possible or because production started so late (it was literally fast-tracked into production) they want to collect their barrings before releasing any photos, footage, etc.

In any event, according to some crew members who post on Twitter, filming wrapped on December 22nd, so I think we'll get a teaser trailer sooner rather than later.
 
How about a text-only trailer:

X-Men: First Class

Not directed by Brett Ratner

No studio interference from Tom Rothman

Summer 2011

:)
 
Actually, I've heard through the grapevine that there has been some studio interference, but nothing too groundbreaking. The first bit was back in the summer when Fox did some budget cuts to the screenplay. It was around the time Matthew Vaughn did the interview citing that he saw and loved Inception, and had to cut some sequences because they were too similar.

Well, according to what I heard, that was a little misdirection on Vaughn's part. It's true that he loved Inception and that there were similar gravity-defying sequences, but he didn't want them cut, he was forced to cut them. Allegedly they were his favorite parts of the script. He was trying to fight to have them remain, and the interview was part of his ploy to convince Fox to keep the sequences, but last I heard they have remained cut.

Another recent dispute I've heard has been about the trailer, which might be a reason why we've had to wait so long. Apparently there is a cut of the trailer that exists out there, that was specially cut by Vaughn - that is suppose to be pretty unconventional, or so I've heard- but Fox wants another trailer that's more conventional and standard. We'll see who wins that battle.

Again, all of this is hearsay and rumors that I've heard, so take them all with a grain of salt for now.
 
Maybe Fox wants a trailer that gives everything away.

Or features Hugh Jackman for 99% of the screen time. :)

I was hoping you were going to tell us they cut out the role of Angel Salvadore instead.
 
Here's the first cast picture. As you can see they're taking the 1960s setting seriously. The guy in the front row in the blue jacket is Wolverine. The guy on the left in glasses is Cyclops.
