Well, this was unexpected. It will be interesting to see how much it ties in with the other films.

Seems a basically good idea to me--time to bring the Sentinels in, for sure, and it's a story that works fine regardless of who your X-Men of the moment are. The baseline idea is, "Show the X-Men what's ahead and let them decide what to do about--and what will cause or not cause that future to come into being". Imagine showing Zionists and Jewish businessmen living in early Weimar Germany what's coming circa 1939 and then let them debate what they can do about it, same basic idea.

If they bring in wolverine strictly to kill him from what is probably the most famous pane from that comic, I'd be down. |

the Hudson Hawk remake. Very different tone this time around. Realistically, it's probably this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1730523/This story line with no Wolverine or Shadowcat?
If they bring in wolverine strictly to kill him from what is probably the most famous pane from that comic, I'd be down. Also the cover, as I recall, but to be perfectly fair, that was an alternate timeline. |

Very good news! May have to break out my comics and re-read this.
In other news why in the WORLD would anyone remake Hudson Hawk? Is Hollywood so out of ideas they are remaking bombs now?

You know that was a joke, right? With the abundance of shitty remakes, it could very well be a reality soon. |

Aren't these movies supposed to be in the same timeline as Singer's movies though?

It may have been a commercial flop, but the movie itself is fucking awesome. Also, people who are excited about this movie are wrong. You should all be making a sad face. A sad fugee face. |

Just adding my support for the Hudson Hawk movie. Loved it! That does not mean they should be remaking it..

Hudson Hawk.. there's a film I haven't watched in forever.
Loved the candy bar brigade. It's also the only movie where Sandra Bernhard didn't ruin it with being an overt-the-top attention whore because that WAS the character.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this movie.
And +1 for Hudson Hawk. It's got a shitty rep but frankly I love that movie. The Candy Bar Brigade. The nun/secret agent. Singing songs to time heists. It's got so much...charm.

It's a better movie than cut throat island. Actually I think it did better in the theatres too.

Indeed. Hudson Hawk made $17m, while Cutthroat Island made $10m. |

A few of those $17 million are mine. Add me to the list of people who actually kind of enjoyed it. I've seen FAR worse movies in the theater.

Hudson Hawk was #70 at the BO in 1991. Cutthroat Island was #117.  |

No details but apparently Matthew Vaughn is out as Director, replaced by Bryan Singer.

It's a switcheroo! Singer bowed out of directing First Class for Vaughn and then produced. Now Vaughn is producing on Days and Singer is directing.

Ugh. While I was one of the few that did not dislike Superman Returns, I'm hoping we get something more like X2. But First Class was just so well done, that I'm apprehensive.

Apparently this is turning into a real "Days of Future Past" project rather than a based-on kinda thing. http://www.slashfilm.com/ian-mckellen-and-patrick-stewart-return-for-x-men-days-of-future-past/Director Bryan Singer just confirmed on his Twitter that Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart will reprise their roles at Magneto and Professor X in X-Men: Days of Future Past, the sequel to X-Men First Class which starred Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy as younger versions of the same characters. They’ll be returning too, along with Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult. The film is scheduled for release July 18, 2014. |

Meh, I think Ian McKellen is a great actor but I hate him as Magneto. Other than that though -  |

Meh, I think Ian McKellen is a great actor but I hate him as Magneto. Other than that though - Your wrongness has been noted in the building. Actually, the problem with McKellen as Magneto (and with the writing as well) in the X-men movies was illustrated in the third one, when he just goes douche-tastic on Mystique because she's no longer a mutant. I have no idea if that was based on some scene in the comics or not, but in the movie it was so...blatant, heavy-handed, and utterly dickish that I'm pretty sure it was inserted entirely to keep McKellen's Magneto from sucking in the audience. He was, at least to me, way the hell too compelling. I mean, I know shades of grey villians and all are in and that's what they were going for, but in the movies I couldn't help but think McKellen was making a better case than Stewart -- he was certainly the more compelling personality. (And I'm a big Stewart fan). Writing in some pointedly dickish moves just to remind audiences "Don't root for Gandalf" does not seem unreasonable. |

Magento, in the context of that time period, hated humans. So, it's not entirely out of character. Heavy handed, but it definitely has context.
