Magneto:

Man...looks like a bobblehead
I do like the outfit, the 3 previous XMen should have worn this.

 

[freestylex06x]

lol ouch this movie looks horrible. how hard can it be to make an acceptable x-men film.

 

[The Mike]

With the money being spent to try and make a decent X-Men movie they could probably figure out a way to make real X-Men.

 

[intothevoid]

Man has a point ^

 

[DPrime]

No way that image is real. Looks like they photoshopped heads on to bodies. Every person's head in that shot looks weird.

Really, it looks crappy.

Yeah, it looks really amateurish. I don't think it's real either...

 

[Kuzeh]

Magneto:

This looks worse than X-Men 3 and Wolverine combined...

 

[Natrix]

I loved this interview.

Jennifer Lawrence on Being Painted Naked Daily for 'X-Men: First Class'

The "Winter's Bone" star spent eight hours a day in the make-up chair to become Mystique in the Fox prequel.

As if some of us here at Heat Vision don't already spend enough time fantasizing about becoming superheroes or working on the productions of our favorite comics adaptations, here's a fun little anecdote from the set of X-Men: First Class.

Winter's Bone star Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the blue-bodied Mystique in the Fox prequel, spent nearly half of the five-month shoot in London and Georgia enduring an irritating diet, two-hour daily workouts and eight hours in full-body makeup per day. That's right, for eight hours every day for months the beautiful Lawrence had a coterie of seven girls “all up in [my] business," as she puts it.

"Nothing’s sacred anymore," Lawrence says. "Those girls and I got so close. They were painting me naked every day for months. It was kind of like going to a really bizarre sleepover."

Funny, that's exactly how many of us picture female-only slumber parties.

Right. "It’s what you guys imagine we do: One naked girl and seven pairs of hands all over her,” she mocks.

As it turns out, the studio has options on Lawrence for two sequels, so if First Class does well, she could head "back to the paint" and her tight-knit crew. In the meantime, post-shoot she was psyched not only to get her own skin back, but to ditch the diet, as well, when she got back home to Kentucky and some cherished home cooking.

"It was awful, I was hungry for five months," says Lawrence, who felt herself bulking up and getting weirdly aggressive during the shoot. “I’m still pissed about it. I’m slowly working my way back because I have to be able to eat like an _______."

Man, you gotta love this girl.

Magneto:

Why does Magneto have the helmet this early on? In X-Men Mags acted like it was a new thing he created to keep Charles out of his head at the train station.

What does these quotes say?

Vaughn assures fans that he has the best intentions.

“I’m a fan of X-Men. We’re not bastardizing X-Men, I’m trying to get them back to being whole again.

Um....hate to break it to you Vaughn but you really are.

As for the costumes…

The costumes are blue and yellow as well, because ____ it, lets take it back it the original. Also, by the way, those costumes are hardly in the movie. The main costumes are like these cool 60’s James Bond…”

Then...

Here you've got January Jones as Emma Frost and Kevin Bacon as the movie's big villain, Sebastian Shaw. A character he describes as:

"A very powerful billionaire and also, as it turns out, a mutant. He's the leader of the Hellfire Club, which is a nightclub for the rich and extremely powerful. And he has a plot to take over the world, so that's really fun. He's incredibly good at manipulating people and at taking whatever kind of energy or ability they have and using it to his advantage, like if he's talking to a German, he's fluent in German. He's very charming and able to get whatever he wants."

What? Those aren't his mutant powers...

And...

As for keeping the fans of the series happy, Vaughn says he did “a lot of research on the X-men comics” and is trying to be faithful to the mythology set-up over the years.

I’d say this is more like Casino Royale than [JJ Abrams] Star Trek. If you think about it, Casino Royale just totally rebooted Bond — they kept what they wanted and got rid of what didn’t work. You sort of saw Bond become a double O for the first time and yet it didn’t seem to matter [what they changed]. I think my rule is to make a stand alone movie that is as good as possible and do as many nods and winks towards the comics and the other films, but not get tied up in knots worrying about that. It’s sort of a stand-alone movie in my mind with a reboot being a real reboot. Because if you’re a stickler for continuity, in X3 when you see Patrick Stewart…. well, I don’t want to give away anything about the plot but we’ve been as respectful of the other movies and comics as we I can feasibly can be without compromising the story.”

I remember seeing stills of Sabretooth from X-Men 1 and being very negative.

Actually, i'm not one of the fans for that movie but some do love it.

 

[carbo-fation]

This movie is a joke. This will easily be one of the worst reboots of cinema history.

 

[CelticPredator]

I love that they're staying pretty close to the costumes and look of the comics, and everyone's _____in.

Ah the fickled fanboys.

 

[jye4ever]

People are way too quick to write off a movie, and just from a movie still no less

I wait until the movie ends to say it sucked...

 

[carbo-fation]

I love that they're staying pretty close to the costumes and look of the comics, and everyone's _____in.

Ah the fickled fanboys.

Most people are complaining about the absence of key character from the comics. The costumes are ok but could have been done much better.

 

[Wanderer]

It looks meh but like someone said, you can't judge on the strength of one still...that being said. That still is ____in lame!

 

[ironwez20]

I like the costumes but the characters just look stupid imo.

 

[lobox42]

this movie be sucks!!!!

 

[Agent0028]

Funny how this movie started out full of promise to most people and has fallen to looking like absolute crap. I didn't bother seeing Wolverine because it didn't look very good, and this movie will probably do the same.

 

[Master Wayne]

This movie will lick my taint.
