Movies and TV ‘X-Men: First Class’ Sequel Titled ‘Days of Future Past’? - Page 37

There is word circulating that 20th Century Fox has reached out to the MPAA to secure a title for the studio’s forthcoming sequel to X-Men: First Class - and if reported accurately, that title is going to send a tidal wave of geek freak-outs across the Interwebs. The title in question is “Days of Future Past” – which remains one of the most famous and celebrated X-Men storylines of all time.

More interestingly, however: “Days of Future Past” was also a X-Men story that dealt with time travel and multiple timelines – meaning that director Matthew Vaughn and Fox could be (finally) trying to organize the convoluted continuity of the X-Men film franchise, using a tactic similar to what J.J. Abrams did with his Star Trek reboot.

Here is the quote from AICN reporter “The Kidd,” which first kicked off this rumor:

One of my little birds Weapon X recently dropped me some information that 20th Century Fox had recently registered the title DAYS OF FUTURE PAST with the MPAA Title Registration Bureau. The Bureau exists for studios and productions companies to stake their claims on certain titles that they intend to release and distribute, so that others can stray from using a similar title.

The title “Days of Future Past” is taken from the two-issue Uncanny X-Men comic book storyline written in 1981 by legendary X-Men writer/artist team Chris Claremont and John Byrne. In the story, the X-Men are trying to stop the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (led by Mystique) from killing an anti-mutant political figure named Senator Robert Kelly. This pivotal event creates a separate timeline in which the X-Men fail to stop the Kelly assassination, and as a result, mutants are hunted, imprisoned and exterminated by humanity. One X-Man from that future dystopia manages to travel back in time and warn the present day X-Men, who ultimately stop the assassination (though the two timelines both remain in existence).

The X-Men Battle Sentinels in 'Days of Future Past'

Given where X-Men: First Class left things, it’s easy to see how “Days of Future Past” could be reconfigured to focus on Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and his Brotherhood going after a key political figure, and the X-Men team being visited by a dimension-hopping mutant to be forewarned of what happens if they don’t stop the assassins. “Days of Future Past” also had the mutant-killing Sentinel robots, an older version of Wolverine, etc. – all of which would be awesome to see onscreen (not to mention a Terminator-style future dystopia). A “DoFP” plot could also open the door for the franchise to introduce time-hopping X-Men like Bishop or Cable to the mix.

In terms of the movies: “Days of Future Past” would give Vaughn and company a way to end all this continuity madness once and for all. If time travel and alternate timelines are successfully introduced into the X-Men movie universe, then that would be a perfect explanation for why the original X-Men trilogy (and Wolverine) have plot points that contradict First Class, while allowing all of the films to remain valid (unlike the ‘forget the past’ approach of the Spider-Man movie reboot).

“Days of Future Past” is an awesome story on its own – and I for one would welcome anything that could straighten out the movie continuity in satisfactory fashion. First Class was tormented all through development for not being a clear prequel OR reboot, but instead some weird amalgamation of both. I think a lot of X-Men fans would agree with the sentiment that it’s time to clean house. J.J. Abrams successfully cleared away decades of Star Trek continuity when he spun-off a new timeline for his 2009 reboot, which allowed him the freedom to tell his own stories using familiar characters.

Finally, introducing alternate timelines would give Fox many new options for how they approach their other upcoming X-Men films: including already-in-production sequel The Wolverine, and the already-planned X-Men 4. In fact, “First Class Continuity (FCC)” and/or “Original Trilogy Continuity (OTC)” could be terms we all start throwing around pretty soon. Comic book geekery at its best.

X-Men: Days of Future Past - if that is indeed the title – will be in theaters on July 18th, 2014.

It keeps shifting and flashing her crotch. Hell, on the 1st day of shooting she went gung ho on one of the takes and completely blew out the crotch, tearing the latex.

Truer words have never been spoken, my friend. Never. Ever. In the history of mankind.

Considering that they're all wearing the color purple in that shot, it's pretty clear that it's set in a "blue" environment, whether it's inside or outside.

If they were wearing blue, they'd be invisible.

Too many people throw hissy fits over things they don't understand.

I was about to comment it will be fixed in post production.

I was only talking about how they altered the cut around the crotch. Much wider in the set shot. Which is why I brought up he teasing the beaver on set to begin with.

My comment had nothing to do with color or post adjustments to it. Simply that they had to adjust the costume because her who-ha can't be contained, but in order to cover her it looks like granny panties. Thus altering the cut ex post facto.

Pretty much what i figured. Movies like these are all about the post production. The costumes they wear are basically just a placeholder.

My comment wasn't directed at you, it was directed at people complaining about the color and the height of Apocalypse.

VFX.

I hope they up his size or something, because right now he looks like cosplayer.

It looks better, but I'm still not sold. It's like they misunderstood what the iconic elements of the comics design were, and maintained the things they could have (and probably should have) changed.

Also blue is an odd choice for his skin color, since he's always had grey skin in the comics and they already have three other blue mutants in this movie.

I think Google search autocomplete says it all.

I typed in " Apocalypse looks " and here's what comes up as the most searched phrases through Google.
