Following in his own footsteps from a few weeks ago when he tweeted out pictures of both Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry, X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer has once again released a behind-the-scenes photo. This time, it’s of Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde.

The highly anticipated Days of Future Past will feature both original X-Men: Last Stand characters such as Wolverine and Storm, and also First Class favorites played Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence. In the Days of Future Past comic, Kitty is the character who brings the present and future X-Men storylines together. All in all, Page will be joined by (deep breath) Jackman, Lawrence, Berry, Fassbender, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Anna Paquin, and Shawn Ashmore.

Bryan Singer tweets first image of Hugh Jackman on set of 'X-Men' -- PHOTO

Tags: , , ,

Bryan Singer is in production on his actor-, mutant-, and timeline-stuffed next X-Men movie — the one that we’re assuming stacks the franchise’s various chronologies on top of one another like a layered dip — and it appears that Hugh Jackman is officially in the house. Last night, the director tweeted a photo of a tall, hairy man in a leather jacket with the caption, “Fitting.”

Apropos of nothing but context clues (tall, hairy, leather, Singer’s tag) the photo is obviously Jackman-as-scowly-Wolverine, though there’s no other information about the who, what, or when of his role. He will still be joined by Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, and Shawn Ashmore; and X-Men: Days of Future Past will still come out in 2014.

One wish: There’s no plaid under that jacket.

Bryan Singer continues to serve as lead publicist for X-Men: Days of Future Past, his grand attempt to knit together the various headache-inducing chronological hiccups of his superhero franchise into one beautiful time-hopping sequel-prequel. Over the weekend, Singer tweeted an image of Nicholas Hoult, back in blue as feral scientist the Beast. Except Beast isn’t just blue now: The image shows that the mutant has developed some Hal Jordan gray hair since last we saw him. Take a look: READ FULL STORY »

Oscar-winning, blockbuster-fronting Jennifer Lawrence seems to have the odds ever in her favor

Jennifer Lawrence didn’t just win the Oscar for Best Actress last month. She basically won the whole Oscars. (Apologies to Ben Affleck.) She charmed late-night hosts — and Academy voters — with a disarming blend of bawdy humor and compulsive oversharing in the weeks before the ceremony. She rocked the red carpets with a variety of gorgeous gowns. More importantly, she was the only nominee who arrived at the Dolby Theatre currently fronting a $400 million blockbuster franchise. Certainly, she was wonderful and deserving of the Academy Award for her performance as a dispirited young widow in The Silver Linings Playbook, but as she accepted the Oscar, there was also a palpable recognition that she is The Future: a young, beautiful indie-film queen who can also carry and sell an action franchise.

At only 22, with an Oscar and central roles in The Hunger Games and X-Men, Lawrence appears to be the right actress in the right movies at the right time. “Everyone wants to work with her, whether it’s another actor or actress or a director or a studio,” says David Glasser, COO of The Weinstein Company, which distributed Silver Linings. “I think everybody right now wants to find that great Jennifer Lawrence Project.” READ FULL STORY »

Bryan Singer is really excited about Days of Future Past. You can tell, because in addition to directing and producing the X-Men prequel-sequel, he’s also become the movie’s official PR person, filling up his Twitter account with semi-regular casting updates and location-scouting pictures. (Plus the occasional reminder that Jack the Giant Slayer is a real movie, too.) Singer celebrated President’s Day yesterday by tweeting a picture of Professor X’s wheelchair. Or rather, wheelchairs — Patrick Stewart’s present-day-or-maybe-dystopian-alternate-timeline chair sits right alongside James McAvoy’s ’60s-era chair. Take a look and ponder the space-time continuum for a hot second: READ FULL STORY »

We already know that Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, and Hugh Jackman will be returning to play Professor X, Magneto, and Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sequel to X-Men: First Class, which is also a prequel to X-Men and maybe also an alternate-universe sequel to X-Men: The Last Stand. (It has nothing to do with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, because everyone knows that movie never happened, RIGHT?) Well, this weekend, returning franchise helmer Bryan Singer tweeted that three more original-trilogy X-People would be returning to the franchise. “Very excited to welcome #annapaquin, @ellenpage & @shawnrashmore to #XMen #DaysofFuturePast,” Singer said, confirming the return of the actors who essayed the roles of Rogue, Kitty Pryde, and Iceman. (Singer also said, “Thank you @BrettRatner for letting them live,” a reference to the Cyclops-murdering director of X-Men: The Last Stand.) READ FULL STORY »

A few weeks ago, director Bryan Singer confirmed that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan would be returning to the X-Men series in the next installment, Days of Future Past, which features a time travel plotline guaranteed to make the franchise’s already-tangled continuity totally not confusing whatsoever. Now, Singer has announced via tweet that an even bigger X-Men power player will join the Future Past squad. “I would officially like to welcome @RealHughJackman to the cast of #Xmen Days of Future Past. Very excited! More to come…” said Singer. READ FULL STORY »

'Jack the Giant Slayer' trailer: Now with a two-headed giant, and Ian McKellan! -- VIDEO

Tags: , , ,

The last time we saw a trailer for Jack the Giant Slayer, it was Dec. 2011, and director Bryan Singer’s re-imagining of the “Jack and the Beanstalk” fairy tale was called Jack the Giant Killer. In the interim, the movie was pushed from June 2012 to March 1, 2013; many more visual effects shots of the fearsome, cloud-dwelling giants have been completed; and, from the sound of things, Singer’s regular muse Sir Ian McKellan was brought on board to lend his commanding cadences to some ominous fe fi fo fumming. Plus, we get more of Nicholas Hoult as the title hero, Ewan McGregor as a dashing knight, and Stanley Tucci as a buck-toothed baddie.

Like a wayward Wolverine, Bryan Singer is returning to the X-Men fold, closing a deal Tuesday to direct the next film in the franchise, X-Men: Days of Future Past, EW has confirmed. He replaces X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn, who stepped back from the director’s chair last week for unspecified reasons, though he will reportedly stay on as a producer and screenwriter.

After helming 2000′s X-Men and 2003′s X2 (regarded as one of the best superhero movies of the last 12 years), Singer left the franchise to make 2006′s Superman Returns for Warner Bros. He actually returned to the world of Charles Xavier and Eric Lehnsherr as a producer of X-Men: First Class, also earning a “story by” credit for the script.  READ FULL STORY »
