CinemaBlend – Bryan Singer Hints About Peter Dinklage’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past Character
“He’ll be himself. Not that he’ll be playing Peter Dinklage, he’ll be playing this character. It’s not a shy character. He’s just such a phenomenal actor; I’m a huge fan of Peter’s and Game of Thrones. He was my first choice and I was really happy [about the casting]. It’s so funny to talk to him because he does that impeccable accent [on Game of Thrones] and then you talk to him and he’s this guy from New Jersey.”

When the site put it to him that a lot of fans would like to see Scott and Jean return, he teased: “Who wouldn’t? Who wouldn’t? [Laughing] That’s all I can say. The good news is that we’re all on the same page!”

ComicBookMovie – Bryan Singer Talks About His Role In X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
“It would be [weird to direct Days of Future Past] if I didn’t write the story for X-Men: First Class. I wrote the story to that movie and I produced it and I was instrumental in the casting, in design and involved in the post-production, so I was part of that movie. I initiated that movie and originated it so in that way, and worked with Matthew and I was the one who actually hired Matthew so in a way I feel like I’m not completely entering someone else’s franchise. I’m entering one that he executed wonderfully, but one that I was also part of.”

But now there’s so much distance from that world that I’m actually pumped to see it, genuinely. So I’m just looking forward to it.”

DOFP goes from Model to Practical

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged Bryan Singer, Days of Future Past on February 20, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Bryan Singer has tweeted a new photo:

It seems that it could be the practical set for the model that he tweeted a little less than a month ago:

No word yet as to what this building is. Speculation is this is Xavier’s underground facility and that is the most likely bet at this juncture. It will depend what these walls get painted and fitted with. If it’s shiny grey, then we have our answer.

TVLine – Joss Whedon Talks of ‘Hopeful’ S.H.I.E.L.D. Pilot, Plans for Maria Hill and Other Marvel Characters
“Whedon says to expect “not a ton” of familiar faces from the Marvel-verse, though “there’s a little bit of talk of that” for any possible future the project has in primetime. “Right now, I want to involve people in the characters that we’ve created for the show,” Whedon said, “and then we’ll worry about [the other stuff].”” – Arrow atm the does suffer from cameoitis where names are just thrown at the screen without any depth at all, so good to see S.H.I.E.L.D. won’t try to the same gimick, at least at first.

DOFP Dinklage is the Villain?

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged Days of Future Past, movies, news, Peter Dinklage on February 14, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Variety is reporting that Peter Dinklage, who was just added to the DOFP cast, will be playing a villain, knocking out the rumors that he would be playing Puck. Newsarama are betting on either Ahab or Nimrod (when he takes human form).

There is, of course, the possibility he will play someone altogether new, though that’s less likely than perhaps Dinklage playing a known character, just with a whole new back story/place in the X-Men universe (Stryker or Shaw for examples). Seeing that there is a trend for really mucking with the villain’s back story, this is a high probability and really, anything goes.

Whatever is planned, should be interesting.

ComicBookMovie – Hugh Jackman Talks X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST; Role Will Be “Large”
THR also says that Jackman’s role in Days Of Future Past will be “large”, and that he’ll be reunited with many members of the original X-Men cast. He then says that he has yet to read a finished script, and that he has only seen an eight-page synopsis. – I keep saying he will likely be the time traveler, if his role is as ‘large’ as this suggests then that would do it.
