X-Men: First Class License Announcement by Hot Toys

Hong Kong's Hot Toys announces today their acquirement of the license for the live action Hollywood movie: "X-Men: First Class". While Emma Frost aka The White Queen is a shoo-in (above-right / but because I is a hot-blooded male) it would be interesting to see who actually makes the cut to be made into a toy or action figure. Would be even more cool is there were both X-Men uniforms and civilian wear involved in the same figure - otherwise they might as well be statues, IMHO. X-Men: First Class launches Junbe 2nd in Singapore - do check out their official website @ http://www.x-menfirstclassmovie.com (Shown below are concept art for "Angel Salvadore" via Marvel.com).

X-Men: First Class - Movie Clip, TV Spots 1 & 2

The first movie clip sees Professer Xavier and Mystique "performing a magic trick" in front of government types, while the other two TV spots sees kiddy X-Men in the form of Xavier, Erik and Raven (Cool that they brought Darkholme in as one of the forefathers of The X-Men tho).

Yet Another International Trailer for X-Men: First Class

Yet another variation of the trailer for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS - featuring a sweet smidgen of new moving imagery for your viewing pleasures (the screengrabs should light the way). This is shaping up to be a real crowd-pleaser in the cinemas, and I am one of the sheep being shepherded into the darkened theatre-seats. Well-done!


Beverly Hills 90201 vs X-Men?

I have zero-problems with January Jones as Emma Frost … just saying'...

Mystique is hotter in her human guise … just saying'…

ERIK: "What Do You Know About Me?"
CHARLES: "Everything."
Sound "Stalker" much?


Video embedding is disabled, but you can check out the new BleedingCool.com-exclusive internation-trailer for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS here - which sees a whole slew of delish imagery including more looks at Banshee, Havok and a group-shot of the X-Men in spandex, all-lined-up and curdy. And what I cannot embed, I screengrab - for your collective viewing pleasures :)

X-Men: First Class Official Trailer Debuts

After my initial apprehension, this newly debut Official Trailer for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS makes it seem like a decent movie to watch, even tho folks seem to be speaking in the Queen's English, and the harnesses / straps on their uniform still seems irritatingly unnecessary, IMHO. Other than that, the trailer seems to be filled with characters and mutants galore - quite an (clandestine) active bunch mutants in the 60's innit?

Although I stubbornly still stand by what I have said earlier - truth be told, they've given me slight pause with this trailer (I'm a sucker for trailers, what can I say!). Check out or join in the public commentary on the Facebook movie page, as well CLICK THRU for select retrodelic screengrabs.








"The film, set during the 1960s, will focus on the relationship between Professor X and Magneto and the origin of their groups, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. The film stars James McAvoy as Professor X and Michael Fassbender as Magneto. It also stars Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, the antagonist of the movie. Other cast members include January Jones, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence and Lucas Till. The film is mostly being shot in England and parts of the United States. Fox envisions this film as the first in a new trilogy." [Wiki]

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE WEBSITE UPDATE & INTERNATIONAL POSTERS

I realized that as I have been late in blogging about the X-Men Origins: Wolverine official website-update (which now features individual character-profiles - of all the boys excluding Wade Wilson aka Deadpool) - that the international posters found on IESB [via MovieWeb] - were the same images from the said-website. To wit:

Peep below for more screengrabs-grabbed from your's truly and pop by the flash-heavy website @ www.x-menorigins.com/us

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE FINAL TRAILER

Was Logan tracking a young Scott Summers aka Cyclops? The future team-leader of Professor Xavier's X-MEN? (Then Jean Grey must've really been jailbait for Wolverine then ... *yikes*). Listed in IMDB is "Tim Pocock" as "Scott Summers". Wow. I didn't know that :p

New French poster has Logan howling at the moon, perhaps?

WOLVERINE ONE-SHEET

Logan's too cheap to go to the barbers ... or perhaps his healing factor makes dead hair-cells "alive"? If not, he could totally give Professor Xavier a run for the baldie-look... heh.

WEAPON-X PROGRAM GROUP SHOT

Hugh Jackman aka James Logan aka Wolverine emails AICN with an exclusive image from the X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE feature film [tagged] along with a note about the current additional filming in Vancouver (read it HERE)

Shown above (L-R): Ryan Reynolds as "Wade Wilson" aka DEADPOOL / Taylor Kitsch as "Remy LeBeau" aka GAMBIT / Hugh Jackman as WOLVERINE / Liev Schreiber as "Victor Creed" akas SABRETOOTH and Lynn Collins as SILVER FOX. With the exception of Gambit, and some missing members - this would've made a pretty neat Weapon-X Program group-shot, innit? [WHAT]
