January Jones not in "X-Men Days Of Future Past"

Since the original announcement of the film, the cast has grown and grown, but now it is looking like we've lost Emma Frost played by the beautiful January Jones. She has also said she doesn't really know anything about the film either.

“I don’t know that I’m in it, I don’t think Emma’s in this one.  Well they haven’t told me if I am (laughs).  I wouldn’t put it past them though, I got the script for the first one on the airplane on the way there.  It’s called Days of Future Past I think, and I think it’s more about James [McAvoy] and Michael [Fassbender] and then Patrick [Stewart] and Ian [McKellan], and I think it’s gonna go back and forth with those so I don’t think Emma’s in those bits.  I don’t know, I really don’t know.”

"Days Of Future Past" casting news

Not only is Bryan Singer reprising his role as director but he has also confirmed some huge news on his Twitter. The incredible Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are both returning to reprise their roles as Magneto and Professor X plus he also confirmed the return of Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy & Nicholas Hoult as Mystique, Magneto, Professor X and Beast.

This is pretty exciting news for anybody who is a fan of the X-Men franchise in my opinion, lets hope they all come together for another great X-Men movie.

Michael Fassbender is THE Assassin

 It's widely known  that films that are adapted from video games are well an truly cursed. The curse used to revolve mostly around the comic book adaptations but the curse has shifted. There has been many attempts over the years to make video games into films; Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy, Tekken and Max Payne all pretty great video games in their own right but completely and utter sucky films.

"On the casting Jean-Julien Baronnet, CEO of Paris-based Ubisoft Motion Pictures, said:
“Michael Fassbender was our first choice… Michael is an extremely smart, talented, versatile and committed actor.”
While Sony could still come on-board to distribute, Ubisoft will “stick to their initial plan and develop the film independently in order to maintain greater creative control”. Ubisoft Motion Pictures will now look at hiring a writer and director, and re-enter talks with studios at a later date."

New "Prometheus" poster

Finally we have a "Prometheus" poster that does not involve huge heads, this poster seems to depict the back end of a ship of some sort being destroyed an the team of Prometheus fleeing it.

"Prometheus" International trailer

WOW! Just WOW!. Fox recently released an International trailer for "Prometheus". I'm not gonna sugar coat my feeling towards the film, I think this will be the film of the year (slight possibility "The Avengers" could trump it). But, you can't go wrong with Ridley Scott in my opinion, the man is a film making genius; Alien, Blade Runner, Hannibal, and American Gangster to name a few. Words fail me for what to say about this film, if you can thing of anything drop a comment below.

"Prometheus" featurette

A new behind the scenes featurette from "Prometheus" is here, it includes the cast talking about the film an director Ridley Scott. The featurette also shows of previously unseen footage, "Prometheus" is set to release early June.

Below are two new high resolution pictures, that have been found on the newest viral site for "Prometheus".

Q&A with Ridley Scott & Damon Lindelof

Michael Fassbender understands Magneto's pain

In a recent interview Michael Fassbender went into the depths of his recently portrayed character "Magneto". It is a cliche to say that Magneto as a character has so many different levels of complexity, hes so much more than some nut job shooting beams an controlling metal just for the sake of destruction. Magnetos story is more about pain, loss and vengeance than a lot of the other Marvel Universe Characters. Fassbender was the most recent actor to portray Magneto an FOX have signed him to a "binding" contract to reprise the role in two more films.

I get where [Magneto] is coming from, that’s for sure – having read the source material, the comic books. From what we know with human beings, history has told us that we’re a pretty destructive race, so you can see where he’s coming from. It’s always interesting for me to have the villains doing positive things as well as negative or destructive things. I just think it’s more realistic.

It’s like the actions will define the character... but it’s more about making sure that it’s intelligently written and there’s a real driving force, there’s real drama there, relationships are interesting, and that it’s not lazy in anyway. A lot of the times I think with action films, the plot can be pretty weak because it’s taking a back seat to the action sequences and the special effects. What we wanted to do with X-Men: First Class was definitely the reverse of that. We wanted to really focus on the characters and the plot and then have the action sequence there to sort of enhance the story.

Hopefully we’ll get to do another one; that’s what we want to carry that vein through for sure. Personally, I do and I know James McAvoy feels the same. You know what’s interesting about Magneto and Professor X from the comic books as well, is there’s such a complexity to their relationship. It’s not just like clear-cut enemies; they’re best friends as well. In the comic books, even after they’ve had this sort of rift, Professor X asks Magneto to come back and look after the students at certain points. I think there’s always that complexity in their relationship. And we want to keep that alive as possible, because that’s I think a really interesting thing – the conflict there.
