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

That Russian trailer was awesome.

In case anyone wants the epic music from the Russian trailer, here you go:

I finally saw this Russian trailer. Very cool indeed. I wonder what is going to cause Beast to go "blue"? I'm not really up on even the comic explanation. The music was indeed very inspiring and melancholic all at the same time.

My expectations have risen a few notches with that.

But when does Joe Q Moviegoer get to see something like that here stateside? It's great for us hounds who follow this stuff but the masses need that over here.
 
I like the Russian trailer, too. Nice to see so many familiar characters ... and their powers. :drool:

In the comics, in the early '70s Hank was working for the Brand Corporation doing research in genetics. He created some kind of formula (can't remember whether it was supposed to reverse or bring out mutations) which he experimented with on himself, which brought on the change to the furry, fanged version of the Beast. His fur was initially gray and at some point changed to blue (which was possibly supposed to be black at the time, as they used to use that color blue a lot back then to represent highlights in otherwise black objects, though that's just a guess.) Be interesting to see if they use the same explanation in the movie.

Thanks for the explanation.
He is wearing a lab coat so maybe they will use all or part of that as a foundation for him going furry.
 
I just watched the Russian trailer, and it definitely was a pretty cool one, definitely the best one yet.
As for the movie, I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know much about the First Class comics though, so I can't judge how close it will be to them. I've only read 5 or 6 issues of Uncanny 3 or 4 years ago, but I hope to check out some of the earlier and more recent stuff eventually.
 
I could have sworn it was. Did it start as one, or did they just decide they wanted to us it's name?
 
I think it was always just intended to be a movie about the young X-Men, and they just decided to use the First Class name.
 
Movies often go through many changes during the development process. The original idea was to adapt the First Class comics, but when Bryan Singer was brought aboard, the idea evolved in a different direction. However, they chose to keep the title because, well, it's a good title.
 
This has nothing to do with the movie, but I thought it was pretty good:
