Nightcrawler for DOFP?

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , , on December 11, 2012| Leave a Comment »

An article on CinemBlend says Alan Cummings has expressed interest in reprising his role as Nightcrawler saying “It was funny, that film, because I really like it and everyone really responded to Nightcrawler and enough time has elapsed that I would like to go back to it.”

The writer of the article doesn’t know his Nightcrawler that well because continuity could still be used to make Nightcrawler Mystique’s son. Since she tried to kill him at birth he didn’t know Mystique was his mother for quite some time. The conversation in X2 could still stand as he just thinks he’s talking to another mutant and she could be thinking “he looks like that kid of mine who I killed…. ooooo….”

In any case, as Alan points out, if they wanted him they would have said something by now in all likelihood. Maybe if DOFP does well the sequel to it could find a place for either Alan!Nightcrawler or a young!Nightcrawler. He is a pretty awesome character, a fan favorite!

DOFP in 48fps and 3D?

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , , on December 8, 2012| Leave a Comment »

CinemaBlend points out that there is evidence that Singer is all over the 48 frames per second Peter Jackson used in the Hobbit and may be eyeing this for Days of Future Past. I haven’t seen a 48fps movie yet but… I do know that the US and the UK film their tv shows on two different fps which is why when you watch an older british tv show before they were better at fixing this for US dvd release it looks… well… flat. Apparently a lot of critics had the same thing to say about The Hobbit.

As the article points out there is still time for ‘the kinks’ to be worked out but I’m a bit wary of this as sometimes it takes a long time for this to happen and Singer will start filming next year.

As for the 3D, this is no surprise, everyone wants 3D right in Hollywood because of the inflated pricing. X-Men, though, could be a decent film to see in 3D due to the mutant powers and three-story tall Sentinels. Let’s just hope that he actually films in 3D and not a crappy conversion. Personally, I’ll see the 2D version anyway cause I can’t see 3D very well.

Singer ahead of himself?

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , , , , on December 4, 2012| Leave a Comment »

It’s come out today that it seems both Stewart and McKellen, who were previously reported as being in Days of Future Past, actually know nothing about it. The report comes from Entertainment Weekly but SuperHeroHype has all the details for both stories.

While I find McKellen’s thoughts credible, i.e., there was talk about him coming back, he says he’d do it, Singer assumed that still stood when he made the announcement.

But Stewart? Back in September there was an article on CinemaBlend where Stewart teases that he’ll be ‘reprising’ and then gets cut off before he says what role but it was in conjunction to a discussion involving the X-Men. Sounds to me like Stewart was at least in the same boat as McKellen, if not a lot more sure about a possible role in the film.

Could Stewart be playing it off? I can’t see why. Unlike, say, Marion Cotillard hiding the fact she’s Talia (which no one believed she was playing anyone other than her), there is a legitimate attempt to secure a plot point. There is nothing like that here. The only reason might be is if Stewart is trying not to sound either too excited, too needy, or too smug.

Whatever the reasons, I’m sure we’ll be seeing both men return to DOFP and it will be confirmed in the next few months.

Hugh Jackman News

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , , on December 3, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Reports from ComicBookMovie show that while Hugh Jackman hasn’t officially been signed on to be in Days of Future Past, he is in talks. This makes me wonder why he’s ‘still in talks’ while McKellen and Stewart are already signed in. Could it be that this role is going to be more than a walk-on cameo and therefore they need to work out pay, schedule, etc? This would lead creadence to my thoughts that Wolverine may be the time traveler instead of the Kitty Pryde.

Apparently he ‘hasn’t read the script’ yet according to this article noting that the man is getting a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (go Hugh!). If it’s just a cameo, would he really need to know that much about the script? Did he bother to read all of First Class or did Vaughn just tell him “Okay, so, Xavier and Magneto are out recruiting mutants, I have an idea for a scene where they walk up to you, try to introduce themselves, you tell them to f-off, it’ll be hillarious”.

UPDATE: here is a video of him saying to MTV that he hasn’t read the script yet and he is a bit cagey which means to me that there is likely more than just a cameo going on

Jackman Confirmed for DOFP

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , on November 28, 2012| 1 Comment »

Hugh Jackman joins Stewart and McKellen in reprising their roles for Days of Future Past according to CinemBlend. This was almost a given seeing as Jackman was in First Class and the immortal-ish nature of his character means he can fit anywhere.

I still think he would be a good fit for the time-traveller since, again, he’s old enough to be in both places, but at the same time I don’t want another Wolverine movie. That is what made First Class such a breath of fresh air, it wasn’t “the Wolverine” show like the first three movies.

No word yet on any of the other cast. Famke was apparently up for it in Wolverine so if they call I’m sure she’ll be right there. Paquin just had a kid and got a good thing going on TV so she may not be up for it. I don’t think anyone else of note is doing anything big right now so could see Bobby, Kitty, Beast, etc.

As much as this is cool though, I really want to see this whole thing rebooted so we can have one kick butt Rogue… yes… I do have a one track mind.

Stewart and McKellen in DOFP

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , , , on November 27, 2012| 2 Comments »

From CinemaBlend:

Bryan Singer, who has agreed to return to the X-Men franchise to helm Days after Matthew Vaughn walked away, took to Twitter to share that Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen would be in the planned film, reprising their roles as Prof. X and Magneto.

Of course, this doesn’t saw whether they will be cameos or have any real depth. Hugh Jackman had a cameo in First Class so a similar instance may occur in Days of Future Past, likely when whoever goes back in time goes back in time. (I still don’t think it will be Kitty, ages don’t fit).

Now, there is also the little issue of Xavier being dead, maybe, not really sure, depends on how you want to read the Easter Egg on Last Stand (plus it’s not like he hasn’t died and come back before, canon wise). But then of course Jean is also dead and apparently she’s making a cameo in The Wolverine (which since it hasn’t been categorically denied by now lends to the very likelihood that a cameo was shot).

This news is another piece that leaves me feeling neutral. Either this could make things that much better or that much worse… all depends on how it plays out.

Pleather?

So, Bryan Singer tweeted that there will be no leather suits in Days of Future Past, thanks to CinemaBlend for the heads up.

Now, the question is: does this mean there will be no ‘team’ ala X-Men: The Movie or is everyone going to get a variant on their classic outfits?

I’m good with either.

Singer is Tweeting

Posted in News and Editorials, tagged , , on November 10, 2012| Leave a Comment »

From ComicBookMovie.com.

We now know  that filming of X-Men: Days of Future Past will begin shooting next April  for its July 18th, 2014 release, but director Bryan Singer (who has recently joined  Twitter as @BryanSinger) is now  Tweeting details about the production. It’s hard to say exactly how long this  will continue for, but it’s well worth following the filmmaker on the off chance  that he reveals some particularly juicy details. Don’t forget that it was Singer  who actually revealed the title, so fingers crossed! Judging from the Tweets  below, the sequel is set to be filmed at least partially in Montreal, Canada. X-Men: First Class was shot primarily in Matthew Vaughn’s home country of  England, but Singer did both X-Men and X-2 in Toronto and  Vancouver so it makes sense that he will return there.

So, might be worth it to keep an eye on Singer, and good to know that DOFP will be filled in Canada, or really, that’s neutral news. Montreal gives the same feel as the previous X-Men movies so yay for consistency.
