Director Bryan Singer has shared a new image from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past, and it’s a perfect encapsulation of the mix of new and familiar that the film’s story involves.  We see Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Nicholas Hoult’s Beast standing side-by-side in Professor X’s familiar underground hallway, but they’re decked out in 1970s clothes given that the year is 1973.  It’s a fantastic tease for fans, as we see that Hoult’s Dr. Hank McCoy has somehow found a way to suppress his Beastly appearance.  Interesting…

Director Bryan Singer has shared yet another image from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past, and this time we get our first look at one of the returning castmembers from X-Men: First Class.  It appears that James McAvoy’s young Professor X has gone through a rather dramatic change in appearance, as Singer’s caption on the photo of “Serpico” pretty much sums up McAvoy’s shaggy, 1970s look.  McAvoy’s Professor X still has plenty of hair and is sporting a slightly darker look than he did in First Class, and we also get to see him in his new wheelchair.

Back in December, we learned that X-Men: Days of Future Past would (sadly) be in 3D.  It’s not too surprising since 3D is currently paying huge dividends from international box office.  It’s still a boost in the U.S. but the novelty has cooled as audiences have discovered that most movies aren’t exactly Avatar when it comes to 3D.  Hopefully, international audiences will make this discovery soon, and we’ll be done with this broken technology that rarely adds anything and is undermined by cheap chain theaters who don’t want to spring for bulbs that would show 3D at its proper brightness.

Thankfully, Bryan Singer is at least shooting X-Men: Days of Future Past in 3D rather than post-converting it.  He also tweeted that he’ll be using Simul-Cam.  For those who don’t know, Simul-Cam allows the director to see a rough digital version of the motion-capture figures.  Could this be for the Sentinels?  Hit the jump to see an image of Singer’s “friggin mission control”.  X-Men: Days of Future Past opens July 18, 2014.

Director Bryan Singer has revealed yet another image from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past.  While Singer previously gave us early looks at Hugh Jackman as Wolverine,  Halle Berry as Storm, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, and Shawn Ashmore as Iceman, this time around we see Ellen Page, who will reprise her role as Kitty Pryde.  Her superheroic alias Shadowcat may prove to be central to the storyline of Days of Future Past, which involves alternate timelines and dystopian futures.  That all explains how we’re able to see the cast of the original trilogy with the characters from X-Men: First Class.

Director Bryan Singer has revealed yet another image from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past.  While Singer previously gave us early looks at Halle Berry as Storm, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, and Shawn Ashmore as Iceman, today he’s offering up a tantalizing image of Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine in the X-Men sequel.  We don’t really get a good look at the character (we’ll get plenty of that with this summer’s The Wolverine), as Singer just provides an image of Jackman’s back while the actor gets fitted for his X-Men costume.  The storyline of Days of Future Past involves alternate timelines and dystopian futures, which is how we get the melding of Singer’s X-Men cast with the characters from X-Men: First Class.  Presumably he hasn’t begun shooting the past-set sequences yet, since we’ve only seen images of characters from the first three X-Men films.

Following a few photos that revealed Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, and Shawn Ashmore in costume, director Bryan Singer has now shared a video from the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is currently in production.  While the Vine doesn’t actually feature any human beings, Singer provides a snapshot of the actor chairs on set, revealing two previously unconfirmed mutants that are a part of the film.  In addition to Xavier, Magneto, Storm, Logan, Kitty Pryde, Bobby “Iceman” Drake, and Peter “Colossus” Rasputin, we also see chairs for the characters Bishop and James “Warpath” Proudstar.  Hit the jump for more, including which actors are likely playing the characters.

Production is underway on the sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past, but the fact that he’s now busy filming the actual movie hasn’t stopped director Bryan Singer from teasing the superhero pic via photos on Twitter.  We most recently got glimpses of Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and Shawn Ashmore’s Iceman in costume, and today Singer shared an image of Halle Berry back in character as Storm.  The film melds the casts of Singer’s X-Men films and Matthew Vaughn’s prequel X-Men: First Class, as the DOFP story involves alternate timelines and dystopian futures.

Hit the jump to get a look at Storm back in costume, complete with a brand new wig.  The film also stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Ian McKellan, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Omar Sy, Daniel Cudmore, Booboo Stewart, Fan Bingbing, and Peter Dinklage.  X-Men: Days of Future Past opens July 18, 2014.

Director Bryan Singer continues to share behind-the-scenes looks at X-Men: Days of Future Past as production on the superhero sequel begins in Montreal.  Last weekend, Singer shared an image of Patrick Stewart in full costume posing for a photographer, and today the director has unveiled a look at Shawn Ashmore’s Iceman also in full costume posing for pictures.  Combined with the Stewart photo, I think this gives us a good idea of what the future-set costumes will look like in the film, and I dig the design.  Ashmore has tracking dots on his face as well, which will likely be used to recreate his likeness in scenes that necessitate CG.  As filming has now begun, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of teases Singer offers on Twitter over the next few months.

Bryan Singer has officially released a picture on his Twitter of Patrick Stewart donning his Professor Xavier outfit and posing for a photographer with the caption: “Picture before picture.  Tomorrow it begins.”  X-Men: Days of Future Past looks to be one of the biggest films of 2014, and Singer has already confirmed that it will be the biggest film he has ever made.  Stewart, pictured on Twitter, is part of an exceptional cast that includes Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Ian McKellen, and Hugh Jackman.  Singer has apparently found a way to create a time travel universe for the film that will allow for characters from both the first two X-Men films and X-Men: First Class, hence the mixed cast. You can read more about the time travel process here.

Even though the CIA and the X-Men parted on less-than-amicable terms at the end of X-Men: First Class (that can happen when half of your agents get killed by mutants because you were working with mutants), Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) never gives up on humanity.  Director Bryan Singer has tweeted a new set photo from X-Men: Days of Future Past showing a CIA file for Professor X’s Oxford University Thesis on Human Genetic Mutation. The file is dated 1973, so either Xavier gave them the file willingly, or the CIA just decided to boost it from Oxford.  I like to think it’s the former, and that the file also contains tips on how nerdy geneticists can pick up chicks in bars.

Director Bryan Singer may have just given X-Men fans a sneak peek of the new look for Beast in X-Men: Days of Future Past.  The story of the film will include not only the characters seen in Matthew Vaughn’s successful X-Men: First Class, but will also incorporate a huge cast of characters from Singer’s original X-Men trilogy.  While the exact details of the film have been under wraps for the most part, the plot from the mythology involves Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat traveling back in time to warn past X-Men of an event that could rock the globe.

Singer recently tweeted an image of what appears to be concept art for Beast, and the design is a bit different from the one seen in X-Men: First Class.  Hit the jump for more, including the image.

Bryan Singer has tweeted a new set photo from his upcoming film, X-Men: Days of Future Past.  Singer refers to the torture implements on display as “Magneto toys”, which is a bit confusing because isn’t anything made of metal a toy for Magneto?  Also, it appears that torture tools do indeed come as kits because you see the same line up of tools in almost every movie torture scene.   There has to be a place where you can go and say, “Yes, one torture kit, please,” and it will inevitably contain pliers, hooks, and other tools that you would find in a dentist’s office (except for the knives; if your dentist’s office has knives, you’re probably not in a real dentist’s office).

Director Bryan Singer (X-Men) recently tweeted an image of the cast from X-Men: Days of Future Past that included some surprising additions.  Reprising his role as Piotr Rasputin, aka Colossus from X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand will be Daniel Cudmore.  Fan Bingbing (Shaolin) and Booboo Stewart (The Twilight Saga) have also joined the cast of the sequel to X-Men: First Class, which already sports an impressive list of actors.  Featuring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Omar Sy and Peter Dinklage, the film opens July 18, 2014.  Hit the jump for more on the latest casting additions. 

Brad Anderson’s The Call, a particularly fine little thriller in the doldrums of March, sports a welcome return for thriller-maven Halle Berry. Sure Berry is a so-called ‘serious actor’; but in between her “Things We Lost In The Fire” and “Monster’s Ball”, she has a penchant for mixing it up with decidedly and proudly ‘B’ pictures. The Rich Man’s Wife, Gothika, Swordfish, Perfect Stranger, Dark Tide… In The Call, the newest and best of this bunch, Berry stars as Jordan Turner – a 911 operator, whose mishandling of a call leaves a young girl dead and Berry/Jordan beyond shaken. Cut to six-months later and Jordan finds herself once again on the other line attempting to help a young girl (Abigail Breslin) out of the clutches of a madman. It’s a difficult role – in that for a majority of the film, Berry is seated behind a computer, on the phone while all the action occurs elsewhere. Ostensibly, Berry is acting and reacting opposite a phone  — and she sells it for all it’s worth. A serious actress indeed.

In the following interview with Berry, she reveals her favorite thrillers, the importance of spelling for 911 operators and how big her role will be in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. For the full interview, hit the jump.

James McAvoy is currently doing press for his upcoming British crime-thriller Welcome to the Punch, and he was asked about a few franchise films.  The biggest question, naturally, was about X-Men: Days of Future Past.  McAvoy said he hadn’t read the script yet (he signed on for multiple movies, so it doesn’t matter if he’s read the screenplay yet or not) because he’s busy doing Macbeth on London’s West End.  However, he says he “honestly can’t wait to read it and find out what I’m doing, but I’ve just got no time right now.”  Spoiler alert: He’s going to put his index finger and his middle finger to his forehead when using telepathy.  But when he finds out that Professor X has joined a murderball league, that’s when things are going to get interesting.
