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

- Start date
Must have went over my head because you'd think the review thread would go under this scifi & fantasy section of the boards.
Pardon me, I guess i assumed he was since he brought up the "furthering the discussion," on June 3rd when the movie releases. Those discussions about the movie are usually, but not restricted to being in a review thread and for this movie in particular would most likely go in this section. Whatever the case is,
Please, let's return to the X-Men boob talk. Rose Byrnes got a nice set, eh?

He's talking about "furthering the discussion" on January Jones and how hot she is, not furthering the discussion on the movie. There's a whole tradition of threads in the Gen forum in that line and they're linked to when an actress appears in a movie or TV series.
Oh right. Now are we talking about the genre babe of the month thread?
This has gotten off track.
Nicely done in bringing it full circle.Now all we need is a picture of January Jones' rack!
Way to get back on rack.

Anyhoo.... I know I'm late to the game. I neglected this trailer until a co-worker recommended I give it a shot. I'll throw my two cents in.
I think this movie looks amazingly well done. This subtle but gripping trailer is evidence of that. I like how it's mostly the X-men either trying to fit in or trying to understand their powers. The music really adds to it, it's a perfect choice.
The action scenes look very tense in the perfect way. It's not all about throwing as much sparkle onto the screen as possible; it's a situation that has a lot of weight to it. This is nuclear war they're trying to prevent. Finally, someone in Hollywood seems to have gotten the hint that action scenes are exciting when the context is exciting.
The actors all look like good fits. I really want to see Erik and Charles as Erik starts to go off the deep end. Obviously Emma will be the most popular choice in casting.
I also like the fact they're finally paying very close attention to the comic mythos. This is the right time period for the original start of the series, with the original team, the original suits, and, of course, the Blackbird. Mystique looks to be impersonating Wagner, so it looks like the link between her and Nightcrawler will be re-established. Also Nightcrawler's actual dad makes an appearance in the trailer, which means they've merged the old stories with the newer ones.
In short I give this trailer the official "I want to see it badly all of a sudden" stamp of approval.

Nicely said.
Grammer was definitely a scene-stealer. He was an inspired piece of casting. I remember being initially surprised when I heard his name and then realized he was the perfect choice for Beast. I'll miss not having him in a role although I understand why he was recast. Hopefully this new actor will be a scene-stealer too.
I kind of had that perception of the original X-Men; it showed that an action movie could be smart and engaging.

Yes, the Statue of Liberty fight is still in my all time favorite scenes. No matter how many times you watch it, it's awe-inspiring to see Wolverine leap at Sabretooth full force with claws extended and Sabretooth just shrug it off like a beast. I still get goosebumps from Wolverine trying to save Rogue.
Also the initial scene with Erik as a child in the concentration camp always draws my attention like a magnet (wow, freudian pun. I didn't even catch that one in the initial writing). I especially like the way the soldiers look at the twisted gate. It sets up Magneto's character perfectly, in my opinion. Every element is there: He has great power but feels powerless and lets that twist him into a hate fueled person, humanity struggles to contain him, and his internal conflict ultimately does irrevocable damage to the world around him.
I think the trailer reminded me of "X-Men" and I like the fact that they're returning back to that type of visual style. The style that Singer established with his two X-Men films. "X-Men: The Last Stand" felt like your typical hollywood blockbuster film in my opinion with the change in direction and cinematography.
That may be because CAPTAIN AMERICA and THOR are being produced by Marvel Studios, but X-MEN: FIRST CLASS is being produced by Fox.
Maybe Hasbro doesn't have a deal in place with Fox?
Different companies. Different licensing deals.
X-Men: First Class toys would have been shown at Toy Fair under whatever label they maybe under...the fact that they weren't implies to me that there aren't any. I think Hasbro had the liscense for The Last Stand. Same with "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
Yes, I know.
I looked into it further.
Hasbro has no liscensing agreement for the film.
