Briefly: I can’t actually watch the clip that I’m about to share since I don’t live in the USA, but I hear that it’s pretty fantastic.

Supposedly, it’s an extended clip showing off the opening battle of the film that just debuted at the MTV Movie Awards. USA residents, watch it below, and I’ll update with a global link as soon as one is available!

Quicksilver Runs On Walls In Newest ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Still

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: EW today debuted a new look at Evan Peter’s Quicksilver in next month’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The character’s design has been largely criticized since its debut, but (to me, anyways) he certainly looks better in action than while posing. The scene is apparently one of Peters’ only in the film, as writer/producer Simon Kinberg explains that it “is the bulk of Quicksilver’s presence in this film. They need somebody who can help them get in and out of somewhere. And the idea is that Logan knew him in the future and so they go to try to find his younger self.”

Take a look at the still below, and be sure to let us know if you’re looking forward to X-Men: Days of Future Past. Be sure to look for the film’s final trailer on April 15th.

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re just over a month away from the release of Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, and Fox has just debuted the film’s first TV spot.

The video features some footage that we haven’t seen before (mixed, of course, with footage that we have, like last week’s awesome new trailer), and does a great job of reminding us that this is a merger of the characters that we knew and loved in the first films, as well as everything that was fantastic about X-Men: Days of Future Past.

It’s probably going to rock (probably), and we can’t wait. Take a look at the spot below, and let us know what you think. X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theatres on May 23rd!

Briefly: Following that new still from a week back (and the trailer teaser from a few days ago), Fox has finally debuted a second trailer for May’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.

New ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Still Debuts Online, New Trailer Incoming

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: TotalFilm today debuted a brand-new still from May’s highly anticipated X-Men: Days of Future Past. The still features a young Magneto pointing a gun at something offscreen, while Wolverine and Beast look, well, uncomfortable.

Also, the BBFC has rated a second trailer for the film, with a running time of two minutes, twenty eight seconds, so I imagine we’ll see that online in the coming days. Take a look at the still below, and we’ll be sure to share the new trailer as soon as it’s available.

Empire Debuts A Buttload (25) Of ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Covers!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Just as Bryan Singer revealed in his cryptic tweets last week, It’s a BIG day for those of us looking forward to X-Men: Days of Future Past.

To mark the biggest super-hero movies ever made, this month’s issue of Empire Magazine will feature 25 different, limited edition covers featuring one of the film’s prominent cast members (meaning that you probably won’t see Anna Paquin on one of them).

You can head to Empire here to order all the covers you desire, and you can check them out in the gallery below. Only 15 of the 25 have been revealed so far, so we’ll keep the gallery updated with new images. Take a look below, and let us know which one is your favourite!

Update: Here’s another batch of covers. They’re still coming down the pipeline, so keep checking this space! Even Rogue, who was cut from the film, got a cover!

Update 2: Here’s the final batch of posters, including a look at the film’s future Sentinel.

Again, be sure to let us know your favourites, and also… how dumb does Quicksilver look?

New (Tiny) Look At ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’, Something Big Coming January 27th!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Bryan Singer sure does love his twitter…

The X-Men: Days of Future Past director has debuted a new Instagram teaser for the film, showcasing some brand-new footage, and also teasing that “Something BIG is coming Jan 27.”

Singer has posted numerous behind-the-scenes photos from the film’s development over the course of its production, and I’m certainly excited to see what he’s got in store for us next. Since the film’s first trailer debuted all the way back in October, could it be a new theatrical trailer for the movie?

In any case, take a look at the new Instagram teaser below, and check back on the 27th to see what’s up!

First Look At Evan Peters As Quicksilver In ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: With just a few months to go until X-Men: Days Of Future Past hits theatres, Fox has finally given us our first look at Even Peters’ Quicksilver in the film.

It’s a single image, and it’s pretty low resolution (we’ll be sure to update once a high-res version hits the web), but it at least gives us a decent look at a character that we’re all very excited about.

Take a look at the image below, and let us know what you think! X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theatres on May 23rd!

Anna Paquin’s Rogue Cut From ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: All the way back in January, X-Men: Days of Future Past director Brian Singer revealed that Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, and Shawn Ashmore would reprise their roles in the upcoming sequel.

Sadly, one of those characters has been cut from the film.

Singer today revealed that a rescue scene shot early in production (during Paquin’s only week on the project, and her only scene in the film) has been left on the cutting-room floor. Singer states:

“Through the editing process, the sequence became extraneous. It’s a really good sequence and it will probably end up on the DVD so people can see it. But like many things in the editing process, it was an embarrassment of riches and it was just one of the things that had to go. Unfortunately, it was the one and only sequence Anna Paquin was in, the Rogue character was in. Even though she’s in the materials and part of the process of making the film, she won’t appear in it.”

Of course, it had nothing to do with Paquin herself, and Singer would love to work with the actress again:

“She did a fantastic job. She was awesome in the sequence. She’s a brilliant actress. I would work with her in a heartbeat. She completely understood. It’s very disappointing, but she’s very professional and she knows that stuff happens, particularly with material you shoot early on in production. Films evolve.”

What do you think of the cut? Were you looking forward to seeing Paquin reprise her role? Sound out below!

Bryan Singer Says ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Is Coming In 2016?

by Jonathan

Even though we haven’t seen this summer’s ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ yet, Bryan Singer took to Twitter today to tease that a new X-Men movie is on it’s way… in 2016!

 

And the proposed title of the film has us all stoked: ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’. That’s either a reference to one of the X-Men’s biggest villains (um, Apocalypse, duh) or just the fact that things are going to get straight up apocalyptic for Marvel’s band of merry mutants.

Fox confirmed that the movie will be released Memorial Day weekend on May 27, 2016 even though Disney’s ‘Alice in Wonderland 2’ will arrive that same day. Seeing as both of the previous movies in those franchises made big money, look for one of them to shift dates. Disney VS Fox… who’s going to flinch?

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’, out this summer, features stars from his original X-Men films and Matthew Vaughn’s ‘X-Men: First Class’, ideally for fans in a move that will streamline the universe in order to move forward towards the previously announced ‘X-Factor’ and ‘Deadpool’ films (and let’s not count out a possible ‘Fantastic 4’ crossover… like that time in the comics where both teams went to Latveria and duked it out with Doom… remember that!?!).

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ is arriving May 23, 204.

Geekscape Review: The Wolverine Unleashed

by S.J. Borger

The Wolverine premiered in July 2013 to solid reviews and a strong box office, and just in time for the holidays, is being released to blu-ray (Dec. 3rd) and digital HD (available now). The DVD contains an unrated, director’s cut version of the film that is being referred to as The Wolverine Unleashed.

Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine.
Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine.

The extended version does away with the PG13 rating (and the pesky MPAA regulations that go along with it), adding some more gore, some f-bombs (for a total of three) and a subtle darkening of the Wolverine’s character. As the Wolverine has always been one of Marvel’s darker characters this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The film’s plot remains mostly unchanged from the cinematic release, which is a new take on the story line from the 1982 limited series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. The blu-ray will ship out with an alternate ending (maybe we’ll actually see Wolverine in his trademark blue & gold?), a documentary film titled Path of the Ronin, a set tour and an audio commentary in edition to the extended cut of the film.

Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine and Rila Fukushima as Yukio in The Wolverine.
Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine and Rila Fukushima as Yukio in The Wolverine.

The Wolverine breaks the Marvel/Comic-book hero/tent-pole movie mold by not being about saving the world, or the universe, or even the galaxy. At its heart, the film is about discovering ones self and one’s place in the world–offset by scenes of heart-pumping, metal-clashing, arrow-flying and knife-throwing action. While some leaps in relationships and motivations are somewhat….convenient, The Wolverine offers up a conflicted hero, strong women not needing to be rescued (at least not all the time) and a satisfyingly heroic story. The ending is still somewhat problematic (though the extended version offers up some much more thrilling fight sequences in the end that should leave Wolverine fans cheering) but since Mangold and Jackman are both in talks for a sequel, hopefully that will be resolved in the next edition.

The Wolverine is available on Digital HD now from the official website, and will be out on Blu-ray on December 3rd. It stars Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine, Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida, Rila Fukushima as Yukio and Hiroyuki Sanada as Shingen Yashida, and was directed by James Mangold.

Geeskscape Score: 4/5

James Mangold, Hugh Jackman To Return For ‘The Wolverine’ Sequel!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s not officially official yet (Director James Mangold is still in negotiations), but it looks like we’re set to get another The Wolverine.

Deadline reports that the film is now in the works, with Mangold in talks to write the treatment for the film (and likely subsequently direct, since he did a pretty bang-up job on the first).

No information on the film’s storyline has been revealed, but we’ll be sure to share it as soon as we hear more!

12 New ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Stills Now Online!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Following the tiny teaser released yesterday, Fox has released 12 new stills from next year’s highly anticipated X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The images are a mix of behind-the-scenes and production stills, and while they don’t really reveal anything about the film, they do give us a great sense of what everything is set to look like. The film takes place in 1973, and it’s easy to see from these stills that Singer and crew have crafted a fantastic looking portrait of that time.

Take A 7-Second Peek At The ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Marvel just released a fantastic first trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and 20th Century Fox has followed suit with a tiny teaser for X-Men: Days of Future Past.

It clocks in at just seven seconds, so you’ll probably need to watch it a few times to really make sense of what’s going on. As I mentioned yesterday, I hate trailers for trailers, but I’ll forgive this one as I feel like we’ve been waiting for this movie forever.

Take a look at the preview below, and let us know what you think! Look for the full X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer on Tuesday, October 29th!

Mystique Appears In New ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Production Photo

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s not the most exciting Days of Future Past photo we’ve seen this week, but it’s nice to see Mystique back in action.

Director Bryan Singer today tweeted a mysterious new production photo from the film. The image features Mystique (well, her leg anyways) choking a mysterious figure against a wall. Any idea who the figure may be? Take a look at the photo and sound out below!

Two Stylish Character Posters Released For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: While we’ve been busy catching up with all the Comic-Con news, we missed the awesome first posters for Bryan Singer’s upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The posters feature a stylish, original design, that each showcase both versions of the portrayed characters. One image features both Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellen as Erik Lehnsherr, while the other spotlights James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier.

They’re both absolutely awesome images, and a great start to the film’s marketing. I can’t wait to see what comes next! Take a look at the posters below, and let us know what you think! X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theatres on July 18th, 2014.

Fourth ‘The Wolverine’ Clip Debuts Online!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Another day, another new clip from The Wolverine.

The clip (along with all of the others) is action packed, this time showcasing a battle between Logan and Shingen. It doesn’t impress me as much as yesterday’s World War II clip did, but it’s still heads and shoulders above that first, ridiculous train clip.

Take a look at the new clip below, and let us know what you think! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th!

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.

Third ‘The Wolverine’ Clip Released

by Derek Kraneveldt

Following the train and funeral clips from earlier this week, Fox today debuted a third clip for James Mangold’s highly anticipated The Wolverine.

This one is easily the best of the three, taking us all the way back to World War II, when Logan saves a very particular soldier. The clip looks great, and brings back some of the excitement that I lost after seeing that awful train scene.

Take a look at the new clip below, and let us know what you think! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th!

Yukio Featurette For ‘The Wolverine’ Released

by Derek Kraneveldt

Fox today debuted a new featurette for The Wolverine, this time spotlighting the female ronin, Yukio.

This one is short and sweet, clocking in at just under a minute long. That being said, it does feature some cool new footage of the character, as well as explain exactly why Yukio is doing what she’s doing.

Take a look at the new featurette below, and let us know if you’re excited for the film! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th!

Watch A Second Clip From ‘The Wolverine’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Following yesterday’s ridiculous first clip, Fox today debuted another scene from the highly anticipated The Wolverine.

This one is leaps and bounds ahead of what we saw yesterday, and features a fight breaking out during a funeral. The action and effects all look infinitely more polished than what we’ve already seen, and there are definitely some impressive shots in this latest clip. I certainly hope that the bulk of the film looks closer to what we see here than the physics-less mess that we saw yesterday.

Watch The First Clip From ‘The Wolverine’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Fox today debuted the first clip from this month’s highly anticipated release of James Mangold’s The Wolverine. We’ve seen pieces of this scene in almost every trailer so far, but somehow, seeing it all together makes me a little less excited for the film.

I’m all for suspending belief, but this is just ridiculous. I won’t spoil things for you, so take a look at the clip below, and let us know what you think! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th, and hopefully the bulk of it is a lot better than this scene!

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine (Jackman), the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality. Directed By James Mangold, The Wolverine hits theaters in 2D & 3D on July 26, 2013.

‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’… Magneto’s In The House!

by Jonathan

Not really earth shattering news, but cool nonetheless, especially for fans excited about ‘Days of Future Past’ and the appearance of Magneto’s kids, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. Magneto’s kids are showing up and director Bryan Singer just tweeted a picture of the family’s lovely abode, appropriately 70s style.

And we think it’s pretty awesome. Take a look:

Now, how could a family growing up together in such a quaint little house get so screwed up? I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

 

Watch A New Featurette For ‘The Wolverine’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

We’re just a few weeks away from the highly anticipated release of The Wolverine, and Fox has just launched a new featurette promoting the film.

Titled “A Ronin Story”, the featurette begins by explaining just what a Ronin story is, and subsequently why The Wolverine fits in the genre. The video features plenty of exciting new footage for the film, and I actually found the scenes shown off here more exciting than any other preview that we’ve already seen.

I wasn’t overly excited for The Wolverine when the first trailer debuted online, but the film’s current marketing (plus those amazing sumi-e posters) are all really amping me up for the feature. Watch the new featurette below, and let us know what you think! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th!

Three New Character Posters From ‘The Wolverine’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Just yesterday, Fox released a beautiful sumi-e The Wolverine poster featuring Jean Grey. Today, three more characters got the sumi-e treatment. The latest posters feature Harada, Mariko, and Shingen, and just as before, I’d love to get every single one of these up on my wall.

If the film turns out half as good as these posters, we’re in for a treat with The Wolverine. Check out the new images below, and be sure to let us know what you think!
