    DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Scribe Simon Kinberg Chats FANTASTIC FOUR Reboot


    A little over a week since X-Men: Days Of Future Past stunned audiences everywhere, Simon Kinberg has quickly become a fan favourite following the film's success. Kinberg has been in the superhero movie business for a while, even writing X-Men: The Last Stand, but because of how awesome Days Of Future Past actually is, we're not going to hold that film against him. Chatting with The Daily Beast, Kinberg revealed some interesting details regarding Fox's upcoming Fantastic Four reboot which is currently "shooting." 

    After the failure of the sequel to 2005's Fantastic Four film, Fox announced that they would be rebooting the franchise going in a brand new direction. This new direction lead fans to be weary of the project even after the film cast a stellar cast including Miles Teller, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara and Michael B. Jordan as the Four. Kinberg revealed that he was on set of Days Of Future Past when he first spoke to Chronicle director Josh Trank about the project. Kinberg revealed that he "talked to Josh, and he had such a clear vision of what he wanted to do with the film that was so different from the other movies—it was grounded, real, gritty, and what it would really be like if you went through a transformation and lost control of your body," Kinberg then revealed that the film would be a "coming of age story," which felt "fresh" to him.

    Kinberg has discussed the tone of the new film before, going as far as to compare it to Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man film from 2002. Kinberg reveals that the film will "feel unique as when you saw Iron Man, X-Men, or Batman Begins for the first time," Having a tone like those films would leave some room for some humour which Kinberg reveals that it's not "goofy" like the previous movies. Kinberg also stated that the film falls somewhere between Chronicle and Raimi's first two Spider-Man films. 


    You cannot bring up the Fantastic Four reboot without bringing up the very controversial casting of Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. Kinberg revealed that "Stan Lee loves" the casting of Jordan. Teasing the audience and the fans, Kinberg also revealed that while on set he "can also tell you that having been on set and seeing Michael bring him to life, he’s really spectacular. He’s doing something really cool with the character that I think will become the iconic Johnny Storm."

    Fox's highly anticipated game-changer or game-breaker, X-Men: Days Of Future Past is set to hit theatres everywhere in just a few months and from what we've seen from Bryan Singer's return to the X-Franchise, it doesn't look too shabby. Recently we have been seeing a lot of new footage from the film that has been pretty secretive; earlier today Yahoo! Movies caught up with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Hugh Jackman to discuss their roles in the newest X-Film. While answering some fan questions, the trio were asked a hilarious question that would involve the three impersonating co-stars such as Sir. Patrick Stewart. You can check out the video below!

    Jennifer Lawrence Talks X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST


    At just 23, Jennifer Lawrence can pretty much retire now. I mean, she's done everything there is to do as an actress in Hollywood. She's led a huge blockbuster franchise (twice), she's an Oscar Winner (and nominated another two times) and the internet loves her. As I said, J-Law, you're free to retire. Jokes aside, Jennifer Lawrence recently discussed her role as Raven/Mystique in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days Of Future Past. 

    Talking to the ZeeNews India, the actress revealed some intriguing details regarding the path of Mystique. Lawrence revealed she was surprised with the lack of darkness to her character. When First Class ended, Mystique left her best friend/brother, Charles Xavier, and Lawrence revealed she was, "Struggling back and forth with wanting to get darker," She later continued, "There was one scene where I couldn't get past thinking she'd shoot someone where she doesn't in the script," While we have seen how evil and manipulative Mystique can be (for reference, go re-watch X2), The Hunger Games star revealed, "We filmed it both ways, but I don't know which one they'll use." 

    Just this year, Lawrence was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, for her role in American Hustle co-starring Man Of Steel star, Amy Adams and former Batman actor, Christian Bale. Lawrence revealed that she is a huge fan of Bryan Singer, and stated that it was, "Amazing," when she found out Bryan Singer would return. She continued, "There was a tiny fan boy jumping up and down and screaming when he decided to direct."

    You can catch J-Law doing what she does best, on DVD and Blu-Ray now in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and be sure to check out Good Morning America tomorrow morning for an exclusive new trailer for X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

    X-MEN DOFP: Bryan Singer Talks Scarlett Witch and the Size of Quicksilver's Role In the Film


    image


    With now less than three months to go on X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer goes on to address the little girl of speculation, yes the little girl posing with Evan Peters' Quicksilver. Many have concluded that this little girl may be  Wanda aka The Scarlet Witch, but according to Singer that is not a possibility.

    “There may be a reference, but no, no. There are 26 main characters, and with seven of them, there were a lot of restrictions in terms of schedules.”

    So who could this little girl be or is Singer playing us for a loop. Singer also went on to address the apparently small  role of Quicksilver and the overuse of Super speed.
    “He was in our script quite early. It’s not a big part in the script, he’s not there throughout the picture. Super speed’s been played throughout the series – Twilight uses it…I had some ideas of how to do the power, the speed, that I hadn’t seen before. So I started development with super high-speed photography and stuff like that, so yeah. It’s a fun character.”

    X-Men: Days of Future Past comes to theaters May 23rd.

    "X-Men: Days of Future Past" Just Didn't Interest "X-Men: First Class" Director Matthew Vaughn

    First look at Evan Peters's Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past 





    Before Bryan Singer was chosen to direct X-Men: Days of Future Past, all eyes were X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn. When Matthew Vaughn dropped out, fans were disappointed in him of abandoning a great franchise, but he has a good reason...or two.

    "The thing that was exciting about it was bringing all these actors together," he told Empire. "What a cast! "But I've worked with great actors and I just thought, 'I've got to do my own thing'." "The script was great for X-Men, but I had Secret Service in my head," said Vaughn. "And this has always been Bryan [Singer]'s machine. It's come full circle."

    Kind of Vaughn to pass the torch back to Bryan Singer. Stay tuned for more.

    XMEN DOFP: Wolverine's Metal Claws Explained!

    As we all know during the final fight of The Wolverine, Logan had his adamantium claws cut away by the Silver Samurai. Bryan Singer has now revealed that we haven't seen the last of them thanks to Magneto.
    "reconstitute the adamantium claws... [Wolverine] has a different relationship with Magneto, and perhaps Magneto could forge them."
    Very vague thought but we will take what we can get.

    X-MEN DOFP: Future Sentinel Design Explained!

    Last night, Empire finally showed off the last cover of the Future Sentinel (cross between the Destroyer from Thor and the Alien from The Day the Earth Stood Still) which has send the comic fanboy world into a frenzy. Production designer John Mayhre had this to say about the new design of the Future Sentinel which is pretty cool. 


    "They’re biomechanical weapons. We had to come up with what would be the ultimate version that could actually, in principle, stop the X-Men. We started with this idea that they were almost made up of magnetic plates slapped over one another, imagining that the plates could contract or grow, so the Sentinel can be skinny to get through a small space or the plates can open up to become a bigger shape. So they have become virtually unstoppable."

    X-Men DOFP: Anna Paquin's Rogue Has Been Cut From the Film


    Now this comes as a shocker but Bryan Singer has confirmed that Rogue (Anna Paquin) will NOT appear in the film come next May. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bryan Singer went on to talk about why he had to cut her sequence in the film and Paquin's response.

    “Through the editing process, the sequence became extraneous,” explains Singer. “It’s a really good sequence and it will probably end up on the DVD so people can see it. But like many things in the editing process, it was an embarrassment of riches and it was just one of the things that had to go. Unfortunately, it was the one and only sequence Anna Paquin was in, the Rogue character was in. Even though she’s in the materials and part of the process of making the film, she won’t appear in it.” 

                                    
     
    “She did a fantastic job,” says the director. “She was awesome in the sequence. She’s a brilliant actress. I would work with her in a heartbeat.” She completely understood,” he says. “It’s very disappointing, but she’s very professional and she knows that stuff happens, particularly with material you shoot early on in production. Films evolve.”

    Singer is still currently editing the film and writing the next installment X-Men Apocalypse which comes to theaters in 2016.

    Bryan Singer Will Direct X-MEN: APOCALYPSE


    Last week, Director Bryan Singer dropped a tweet that send X-MEN fans into a frenzy.  He confirmed that after the May 2014 release of Days of  Future Past expect to the well known villian Apocalypse hit the screens in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE on May 27th 2016.  

    Even though Singer has announced the next X adventure, will he direct the movie? Vulture has confirmed that Singer will direct and will begin pre production on the next X-Men film after he is done with Days of Future Past which will be the direct sequel to the film. 

    Singer also went on to revealed that X-MEN: APOCALYPSE will focus on the younger X Men cast which stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence. 

    Does that mean we rule out any original X Men coming back? Of course not! Especially since we don't know what's going on in Days of Future Past or who survives. What do you guys think of this news?

    X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Going Back for Reshoots


    Bryan Singer and company are heading back to Montreal for additional shooting for X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    Hans Fraikin of the Quebec Film Commission has reported that the film will be back for a couple of weeks doing scenes for the upcoming "inbetween-quel".

    Daniel Cudmore tweeted that he is back in Canada (assuming Montreal) so that is leading to the conclusion that his character Colossus will be in additional scenes for the film.


     Also this would be a perfect opportunity for Halle Berry's character Storm to be included more in the film since her pregnancy kept her from doing more strenuous action sequences for the film.

    Singer also said the "future" scenes would only be 1/3 of the film so since Daniel Cudmore is back in Montreal, could Singer be filming more Sentinel action sequences?


    Stay tuned for more!
