X-Men - First Class (2011)

[Liquid Love]

Regie: Bryan Singer

Tim Pocock, who played the young Scott Summers/Cyclops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has revealed that he will reprise the role in 20th Century Fox's X-Men: First Class.
"Currently shooting Australian TV series till February 2010...then X-men first class," he said on his Twitter account. "Wolverine" producer Lauren Shuler Donner recently hinted that a new "X-Men" movie would start production in 2010.
Written by Josh Schwartz, the film will likely draw from elements of the Marvel Comic of the same name, launched in 2006.

Fox offers Matthew Vaughn 'X-Men: First Class'

In a move that may tilt the axis of fanboys worldwide, Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn is in talks to direct X-Men: First Class for Twentieth Century Fox. Why is this so bizarre? Because Vaughn is the very director who turned down directing X-Men: The Last Stand back in 2005 after he had already negotiated his deal with the studio. (Fox later hired Brett Ratner to helm the most successful of all X-Men films.) Vaughn went on to direct the disappointing Stardust for Paramount and, just two weeks ago, released the well-reviewed R-rated Kick-Ass.

Of course, considering Vaughn’s history with the X-Men franchise, he could very well turn down the First Class offer, as well (sources say the studio is also speaking with other possible directors). Should a deal come together, however, Vaughn would be helming an origin story of the X-Men crew, one that tells the story of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and the other X-Men in their younger years, played by younger actors. (No word yet on whether Hugh Jackman would reprise his role as Wolverine since his character doesn’t age as the others do.)  The script comes from Jamie Moss based on Bryan Singer’s treatment. Though the studio had wanted Singer to direct once again, the director is only signed on to produce, since he’s preoccupied with directing Jack the Giant Killer for Warner Bros.

Wehe, die Herren versauen noch einen Streifen aus meinem favorite Comic-Universum... dann werd ich zum Wolverine

Aber meine Erwartungen sind tief, nachdem die tolle neue Animationsserie Wolverine and the X-Men trotz erfolgreicher erster Season eingestampft wurde und noch ein Fragezeichen hinter den weiteren Projekten Deadpool, Magneto und Wolverine 2 steht, ganz zu schweigen von einem echten X-Men Nachfolger, muss die erste Klasse jetzt wirklich überzeugen und einiges gut machen (X-Men 3 + Wolverine).

Vaughn ist als Regisseur bestätigt worden - und Kino-Starttermin des Films soll (in den USA) der 3. Juni 2011 werden.

  Wenn die für die Rolle schon so ein Milchgesicht wählen, will ich den Rest vom Cast gar nicht wissen.

Absolutes Dito

[dÆmonicus]

Ausserdem: Wie alt wollen die denn die anderen im Vergleich zu Xavier machen? 12 oder was?

[The Punisher]

In einer normalen Schule bist du in der Regel 6 oder 7 in der ersten Klasse

[fadenschnute]

Es geht eher um die erste Klasse, die die Schule besucht hat. Die ersten Mutaten hat Xavier im Teenageralter für die Schule aufgegabelt, zumindest im Comic. Weiß ja nicht, wie sehr sie sich daran orientieren werden. 7-8 werden wir wohl aber nicht vorgesetzt bekommen

Naja, besser als der "digitally de-aged" Patrick Stewart aus Wolverine... wenn auch nur unwesentlich 

[dÆmonicus]

Auch wieder wahr.

Bacon wird auf jeden Fall den Baddie mimen ... feine Sache, sag ich. 

Yes, it’s true. Sources confirm that Kevin Bacon has joined Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class cast. Details of his role are being kept under wraps, but sources tell us he will play a villain, sparring against protagonists Charles Xavier, played by James McAvoy, and Magneto, Michael Fassbender’s role. It’s not clear who Bacon’s character is specifically, or how he’ll figure into the X-Men universe, but it will be fun to watch. (Imdb.com)

Edi Gathegi Playing Darwin in X-Men: First Class

Edi Gathegi, who played the vampire Laurent in Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, is joining X-Men: First Class in the role of Darwin, reports Deadline New York. Darwin has the power of "reactive evolution," which allows him to adapt to any situation or environment.

He's joining a cast that includes James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Alice Eve, Kevin Bacon, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Caleb Landry Jones and Lucas Till. Matthew Vaughn will direct the 20th Century Fox film targeted for a June 3, 2011 release.

X-Men: First Class, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. 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.
