Matthew Vaughn Not Directing X-Men: Days of Future Past but Bryan Singer is in Running!

This news came to a shock to me that Vaughn is getting out of the directors chair for his sequel film X-Men: Days of Future Past. The good news is he will still be around as producer, even better news is X-Men 1 and 2 director Bryan Singer is on top of list of replacement directors!

It seems that Vaughn and Singer are pulling the old switch-a-roo on the production. Singer was producer of First Class and helped write the script for it, so he is no stranger to the prequels of his own films. I have faith in the decisions and hope Singer accepts because he will need a rebound good film after Jack The Giant Slayer (formally Killer) will be horrible. Just speculation but have you seen the trailer!? Lets all campaign for Bryan Singer to return to the series he helped make and make it better.

More news to come

New X-Men: First Class Poster and Photos

Just hours after that not so stellar photo was released, they decided to release some new shots and a teaser poster. I like the recovery effort a lot. 

The three images show some interesting shots of the cast, Very hot or icy January Jones and a very awkward chess game. The released poster does seem to be paying homage to the original X-Men poster back in 1999. It is cool and cliched that they did that. 

X-Men: First Class fights into theaters on June 3, 2011

The rest of the awesome photos and Poster are after the jump. Check them out

First Look at January Jones As Emma Frost

INF Daily released some shots of January Jones as Emma Frost on the set of X-Men: First Class in Buckinghamshire, England.

She was seen walking around the set between filming, just taking photos of cast and the set. She has the "white Queen" theme going on and It's pretty hot. I love the huge russian hat. Anyway, she eventually put on a super long coat and walked talked to her body-double. You have to love two January Jones's more.

X-Men: First Class hits theaters on July June 3, 2011.

The shots are a little blurry, but you get the idea.

A lot More hot photos after the jump

Kevin Bacon Cast in X-Men: First Class? Maybe

Deadline New York is reporting that Kevin Bacon (Footloose, Tremors, Hollow Man) is in-talks to play a villain in the upcoming Marvel film X-Men: First Class. At the moment there is no information on which villain from the vast Marvel library of villains he will portray.  I think this could go either way with Bacon in a X-Men movie. I guess time will tell. 

What do you guys think about this casting choice?

Win a Tour of the X-Men: First Class Set

CharityBuzz posted a new auction for a set visit on the new X-Men movie X-Men: First Class. Producer  Bryan Singer (X-Men 1& 2, Superman Returns) has donated the set tour to give a lucky fan a glimpse of how a X-Men film gets made. Also, the proceeds will go to Project Angel Food.

Some more details... Share the excitement of film making with a set visit of the next installment in the highly successful film series, X-Men to meet producer Bryan Singer. Although cast information has not been announced, the next X-Men film, X-Men:First Class, is sure to be an action packed classic. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will also give the winner a chance to meet some of the actors who may be on set that day. This set visit will take place in Fall 2010 in the United Kingdom.


Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN. 


Terms: To be scheduled at a mutually agreed upon time and date. To take place this Fall (2010) in the United Kingdom. Travel and accommodations are not included. Cannot be resold or re-auctioned.


I probably wouldn't pay to go because I would still have to pay hundreds of dollars for travel and accommodations, but that shouldn't stop all of you die hard fans.

The bid is currently at $550 and the next bid will have to be $650. The auction in estimated to go for $5,000.

Daily Movie News

Here is the Daily Movie News for Thursday December 17th, 2009

* Director Brian Singer (X-Men,Valkyrie, Superman Returns) is returning to the X-Men series. He announced at the premier of Avatar that he has signed on as Director of X-Men: First Class. First Class is the next origin story in the X-Men universe. The film will have a look at the early days of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and many others at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. Also, just announced that a new writer Jamie Moss (Street Kings) will write a draft for the film. Josh Schwartz wrote the original draft. So I cant wait for some good X-Men movies.

* Rene Russo (Lethal Weapon 3) has been cast in Kenneth Branagh's Thor. She will be joining the already amazing cast as Odin's wife Frigga, who is Thor's "Stepmom". The list of actors being cast in this film is outstanding. So look for this movie in early 2011.

* An arrest has been made in the Wolverine: Origins leak before the film hit theaters. They are taking bootleggers very serious now, so watch out and don't do it or get caught.

* IESB reported that Spider-Man 4 "has been put on indefinite hold", but this was proven to be false. The production is taking a break for the holidays. This is not that unusual either, alot of films do this during the holidays.

* Golden Globe Winners Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio will present director Martin Scorsese with the Cecil B. DeMille award at "The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards" on Sunday,  January 17th.

* Dreamworks Animation has hired Ethan Reiff (Kung Fu Panda) and Cyrus Voris to Adapt Gil's All Fright Diner by author A. Lee Martinez. The story revolves around a vampire and werewolf. They Battle zombies and try to save the world. after they stop at a diner in the desert that is a conduit for the supernatural. So sounds like this could be awesome with a plot like this one.
