XMEN : Days of Future Past ( Potential SPOILERS)

[jo]

DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is now trending worldwide on Twitter!

When Hugh hosts the TONYs on June 28, DAYS OF FUTURE PAST would have been released for just a little over two weeks! I bet the grin on his face will partly be because of the TONYs/theatre as well as the expected box-office triumph of Days of Future Past

Big Day -- trailer alert for the second trailer!

Bryan Singer ‏@bryansinger · 55m
2nd trailer on line at 6am pacific time tomorrow I believe. #XMen #DOFP Ion the other hand have a 6am call. #BattleCreek Must sleep!

Is that 9:00 am eastern?

Which is exactly 12 hours behind our time here.

I am little intrigued by his hashtag "#DOFP I" - what is the "I" for? Will there be a direct sequel to DOFP ( as in DOFP II)...or is that reserved for APOCALYPSE?


Jo

The "I" is part of the next sentence. Something may have gotten messed up in the copying/pasting cause the sentence was "I, on the other hand have a 6am call."

My son came over this AM & since I was expecting him I waited for his arrival (around 10) and we watched the trailer together...a few times
Looks really awesome! He did note however that there was no sign of Rogue! Of course the adults of the world will know that they can't feature everyone, but there will be fallout among Rogue fans. They seem to be giving a little extra screen time to Shadowcat/Kitty Pride, Iceman and Colossus, as well as introducing a few new mutants. The Marvel & X-Men universe is vast so they'll never be able to please everyone. I can't wait to see the finished movie. I think it's going to be incredible.

It's been 14 years since movie audiences were introduced to the cinematic Wolverine via Hugh Jackman ! Has he changed this much, based on this poster ?


The look of Wolverine --

*This is the first time that he wears an XMEN uniform that echoes the colors of his original comic book gear, albeit this is a much more toned-down version. The blue is not royal ...and the yellow is definitely more camel than daisy-yellow ...There are tones of grey ( Singer likes his costumes dystopian-looking)...If you look at the poster from a distance - the original yellow-and-blue color combination is echoed in the poster background and Mystique's blue scales.

*His hair shows a bit of grey -- not really because Hugh has started to show grey in his facial hair...but because Wolverine shows temples of grey in the original comic book story of DOFP.

*His hair is spiky...again different from The Wolverine, Origins( the best one I liked!), and all the other XMEN movies he appeared in.

*His muscular frame is more clearly etched in this uniform, than in the classic Wolverine uniform of leather jacket and jeans. Of course his white t-shirt/vest ( "wifebeater"?) has also become iconic!

*In the trailer and on the poster, Hugh's face is definitely fuller ( he shot this movie right PRISONERS) - or is it just the hairstyle?





I wonder what the next and maybe final Hugh/Wolverine persona will look like?

Re Wolverine's going grey in the temples -- this was Bryan Singer's explanation :

"The grey in the hair is something I took from X-Men: Days of Future Past, it's a look in the comic. I liked it, even though he hasn't really aged physically it's something that shows how tough things have gotten in the future, and brought that out in him and given him a little more world-weariness."

HitFix has given a report on footage from the movie, shown at the CINEMACON at Las Vegas --



SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT
SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT
SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT***SPOILERS ALERT

The sequence starts with Sentinel transports hovering over a decrepit future London. Below the city, however, are some familiar mutant faces including Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), Colossus (Daniel Cudmore) as well as Bishop (Omar Sy), Blink (Bingbing Fan), Warpath (Booboo Stewart) and Sunspot (Adan Canto). The Sentinels disembark from the transport drilling themselves into the ground ("Matrix" flashback). When they enter the Mutant's compound Kitty Pryde and Bishop race out of the main room while the rest of the "team" prepares to battle these Sentinels.

Unlike the recognizable purple and grey robot killers in the comic books, these mechanical killers are shape shifting and completely black. They appear somewhat similar in form to the robot from Fox's recent reboot of "The Day The Earth Stood Still" but try to wipe that from your memory for a moment. They are not the Sentinels you expect, but they are intriguing and certainly deadly.

As the Sentinels engage with our favorite mutants we witness Colossus turn into metal form, Iceman go complete "Ice" and ride an ice bridge (similar to footage from the recent trailer), Blink's teleportation windows are impressively executed, Sunspot looks powerful (although you might confuse him with Sunfire to be completely honest) and Stewart stunningly transforms himself into Warpath. No joke, the later is almost completely unrecognizable form his "Twilight" days. To say he put on a new physique is a huge understatement.

One by one, unfortunately, all of these X-Men die at the hands of the Sentinels. The robots are too powerful and even mega-level mutants like Colossus (at least in the comics) are not strong enough to survive them. While these battles are waging,though, Bishop and Kitty Pryde have entered a secured vault where Kitty Pryde is using her powers (new powers? powers tied in with Bishop's set?) and concentrating on something with his brain. As the Sentinels finally burn through the vault, Pryde basically says something akin to "screw you" and then both she and Bishop vanish. In fact, everything vanishes. The Sentinels, any damage to the underground bunker. It's all gone. No bodies. No mutants. Everything is clean, but empty.

What Pryde and Bishop did is unclear at the end of the scene. Did they go back in time? Did they transport to another location? We'll all find out when "X-Men: Days of Future Past" opens on May 23.

Short set visit videos and footages -- quite a few showing Hugh.

A little spoilery, but fun to watch and anticipate!

In one scene, Hugh acts more like Charlie Kenton

Not sure if this is a spoiler --

It looks like he is going to have a few scenes with young Beast in the 70's. It also seems Logan/Wolvie is fully aware of what it is going to happen in the future while he was transported to the 70's, because he tells Beast they are going to see more of each other/be friends in the future. I thought the Wolverine who will be transported back is free of memories of the future.

Hugh did bulk up a lot for DAYS OF FUTURE PAST.

[njr]

He actually almost looks fat compared to that photo you posted of him in that new ad campaign! 😂

Nancy

[jo]

Yet that is the movie where Hugh did bare a bit of himself






Maybe he went on a diet for this scene

An even better shot: 😉

Your hair was not as long as Daryl Hannah

Or was it the F word?

Most people not catching Hugh's joke on Instagram. Most think it is all about Wolverine

He did not post it on Twitter

What was it? When I click on it, it just takes me to his IG page with all his photos.

Many tweets in the recent past castigating or laughing at Disney+ for adding long hair to cover Daryl Hannah's backside ( from the movie SPLASH)

On the business side of things --

Is DISNEY+ doing this because DISNEY itself is financially hurting from the presumably temporary loss of their traditional cash cows ( mainly the theme parks)? Also, they have been criticized for editing movies available on their streaming service. Even the withdrawal of GONE WITH THE WIND resulted in people cleaning up all the DVD shelves at retail outlets and even became the # 1 bestseller at Amazon ( prime video and physical videos ( DVD/BluRay).

They were criticized heavily for editing the scene with Daryl Hannah in SPLASH. They could have prepared the contemporary social commentary and withheld Gone with the Wind until that was ready.

So, are they now realizing that people who pay for streamed movies want the original artistic material, not edited to make it conform to rules for TV. Free TV is not the same as paid-for-TV. Even the local HBO here is guilty of editing ( they edited some of the gay scenes in Bad Education - good thing I also subscribed to the streaming service under HBO-GO). I saw Days of Future Past recently on HBO and they edited the nude Jackman scene.

Maybe Disney+ has fully realized this now. Let the viewer make the value judgment ( like watching R rated stuff) as he is paying to view the original artistic material.

Disney+ chose well with their first R rated movie being released completely UNEDITED. It is among the highest box-office movie in the XMen franchise and is well-rated by critics. Hugh Jackman is also the most popular of the XMen stars.

Maybe they are also testing reactions, so they can consider if the more controversial movies like DEADPOOL can be released as it is?

Variety features a full article on the celebrated release of the uncensored Days of Future Past! LOL! Most famous b*tt in the history of filmmaking now -- in the sense that it ushers in a more liberal policy for streaming movies from the rich Disney+ vault! Lol - after they streamed Hamilton - now comes Hugh Jackman in all his glory ( oops. Sorry, Hugh )

What an irony that this comes from the company that became famous for kids entertainment!
