I wonder how they'll pull this off.

In the comics the story was carried by a lot of the 2nd tier characters and most of the big names were already dead. Mostly characters the movies barely touched on or didn't even really show.

I think Storm and Wolverine were about it.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. It looks like they're going to have to deviate from the original story quite a bit and force the well known characters into the story. Not sure how I feel about that. But Old Man Logan is there at least, and he's the best part of the Future's Past storyline. So at least there's that....

I hope they kill off shitty Rogue in the first 3 minutes, thus making the film enjoyable for me.

Dinklage? Ummm....huh? Is he the President?

Speaking of Dink this was out yesterday:

Good ****ing Christ Jennifer Lawrence is hot.

This! :drool:

The X-Men franchise is what got me back into the genre.
I've enjoyed all of the films.

Ohh my dayum......

I'd see this just for Jennifer Lawrence. Dammit, girl.

There will be Sentinels....

That original Xmen film was pretty much the birth of the modern comic book film. Set the tone of seriousness. Well that and Blade, but Xmen was a bigger property.

I've always liked the Sentinels X-Men storyline. I feel that is a pretty realistic interpretation of what would happen if mutants started cropping up around the globe..

I thought Sentinals were supposed to be super huge or is that just the cartoon

Nope, comix as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_%28comics%29

http://filmonic.com/wp-content/uploa...-sentinels.jpg

Their website (for the movie...) shows them as 18 feet tall.

More realistic I guess.

Then again they just might not have wanted it to look like Pacific Rim vs. the X-Men...

There could also be larger ones in the movie.

I guess they could throw Master Mold in there but the concept seems kind of out dated.

I was thinking more along the lines of a covertly developed model that wouldn't be publicized on their website, more akin to the larger ones in the comics.

But you may be right and they might just be going with a more realistic take on them.

Makes sense, i guess they can't be kaiju size in the movie but big regardless

Was always a fan of the Magik mini-series (Colossus' little sister goes to limbo for seven years and becomes a sorceress). Not likely, but I would love to see that story on the big screen.

Yeah, that's still a big-ass Sentinel.

The early 90's Inferno crossover is still my favorite. Her role and the evolution of her character in that was what turned me on to the New Mutants books...

The real sentinels were HUGE
small sentinels will suck
look like terminator rejects
:(

If they're too big, you run the risk of starting to look too much like Transformers.

I'm not familiar with anything past about 1986. What happened in the crossover? More mutants drug into limbo?

Super short version is limbo opens a hole to earth slowly "infecting" it. It hit all the Marvel titles in some way but mostly the X-Books. It was the first darker story I'd read from Marvel.

No Ice Man? Fail. Dude is an S Class easy.

Haven't kept super close tabs, just cause I'm allergic to spoilers, but anything that offers a faint chance of saving the pathetic x-men franchise is extremely exciting to me. Not counting first class. I liked that a lot. It was just already so destroyed there was nothing that movie could do. I don't care if Star Trek already did it. If alternate reality is what it takes for us all to finally forget Xmen 3 and Wolverine Origins, than I am 110% on board.

She is hot, but her acting is just so criminally overrated, I have a hard time liking her. That said, yes. Dammit.

Trailer...

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/pK2zYHWDZKo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Looks like it might be good.

Wow... that looks really good...

Quite different than the story I remember but it looks good...

Man - that could be really good or really bad. It looks like an incredibly ambitious storyline.

But either way, I think it will be well done.

It's hard to go wrong with McAvoy and Fassbender - two damn good actors, IMO. And with Patrick Stewart back and the writers actually treating this like a real movie instead of a throwaway moneymaker like X3, this sure appears to have a chance to be great.

This could be a good movie.

I'm excited...

LOOKS ****ING AMAZING

Holy shit...this may rock

That looks really good. But extremely storyline driven, so there's a chance it could suck out loud too.

Looks great. I liked how they emphasized story and character over action.

Yeah, that looks good. Excited that Bryan Singer is on board for this one.

If anyone can pull off what seems to be a pretty damn complex storyline, it's these guys. I have high hopes.

Looks very promising.

Pros: This feels more like X-Men 2, which is a good thing, probably because Brian Singer is back. I like that they are focusing on the storyline over action, which makes it also feel like Nolan's Batman series (aka the only good DC Comics movies ever), which is also a good thing. Love the look of Bishop, Warpath, and Blink. Very accomplished cast, most of whom have headlined movies before on their own. There's no replacing Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, and this time, there's also Dinklage, and with a Thomas Magnum 'stache to boot.

Cons: I don't like that they gave Wolverine the job that Kitty had in the comics. I'm getting tired of the scowling Wolverine schtick, and Hugh Jackman is looking older (even when he's not supposed to). Still hate the Beast's look, and I'm worried that a lot of the characters I was just starting to like will either be present only briefly, or entirely skipped. I can only imagine each of those now-very-expensive actors will only be on screen for about six or seven minutes each. And where are the Sentinels? (I'm guessing they're being re-CGI'ed.)

Upshot: Looks good, but I can only get excited so much for X-Men movies. The Wolverine and First Class both surprised me, though, so I remain optimistic but wary.

I was underwhelmed with the trailer. Which might be a good thing.

And Nolans batman was not really a comic movie imo, it was a great trilogy, but not a comic movie. closer to a bond flim.

To me this movie cannot be done properly unless three hours or more.

wow, could of waiting another week or so to release.

Bryan Singer has never been an advocate of "giving away" his films in trailers.

Yeah, 50 years isn't quite long enough

:rolleyes:

Because?...

Puck!!

I don't think he'd ever take the role of Puck, although he is sporting the requisite mustache.

Apparently he's playing Bolivar Trask.

The rise of the Sentinels

No I am fine with the premise, but I would never do it near anniversary dates. Like when wanna be terrorists do that shit on 9/11.

Eh, the target audience wasn't even born for decades after the assassination.

Hell, it happened a few years before I was born and I couldn't care less.

It's great marketing, IMO.

So they're doing Age of Apocalypse as the follow-up in 2016.

****ing Cable baby

Bets on Ron Perlman playing him?

So stoked for Apocalypse. Since I was little and watched the Saturday morning cartoons, he has been my favorite villain.

WTF is Cable baby?

Looks cool.. kind of. The only X-Men story I can take seriously is New X-Men so...

Ah yes, from the period of superhero design when they thought a good way to update the underwear-on-the-outside would be to make it look like a jockstrap.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6acRHWnfZAE?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Wow

Looks ****ing amazing.

Pretty awesome right there....

I'm underwhelmed.

Or maybe just whelmed.

The crack. You're on it.


I will say that I hope they don't **** this movie up. Days of Future Past is comic book royalty among all the stories out there. So far the trailers look promising.
