Pretty cool, but how does it promote the film?

Nothing I have seen about Chronicle really draws me in. Three friends with all the same power of telekinesis. It's not like we haven't seen films with people who have that power. It will probably draw the teen and college kids.

This deserves to make a fair bit of box office, it's actually way more original than the majority of the comic based spandex films we've had with ten times the budgets! Hope it draws the joe-public and keeps the fanboys away, they only moan about no costumes and not being a 'proper' comic source blah blah!

I THOUGHT IT WOULD POSSIBLY BE TRANK HELMING THE SEQUEL FOR X MEN FIRST CLASS BUT IT SEEMS THEY LANDED VAUGHN...


Fox has brought back Matthew Vaughn to direct a sequel to X-Men: First Class, the surprisingly effective and successful reboot of the X-Men franchise.
Bryan Singer is also returning to produce the X-Men: First Class sequel based on a script by Simon Kinberg. Story ideas and new mutants are currently being kept tightly under wraps.

X-Men: First Class starred Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Lawrence. It revolved around the friendship of Charles (McAvoy) and Eric (Fassbender) that by the end of the film was shattered as the two stepped closer to their latter personas as Professor X and Magneto, respectively.

It is to be expected that all the major players will return in the X-Men: First Class sequel, even though the stock of Fassbender (Shame, Prometheus) and Lawrence (The Hunger Games) has shot up exponentially since the first film was released just last June.

I'll see the matinee. It'll probably be another "I am number four", but it looks semi entertaining.

Gunsmith has typed in Caps for a very long time now. Long before many of you have been here. His posts are usually short and no one has seemed to care to whine about it until very recently. The "whining about it" posts are much more annoying than Gunsmith using caps.

"TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS YELLING AND JUST PLAIN LAZY AND IGNORANT, ITS NOT "SOMEONES THING"."

You do realize there are people who are on the internet that are disabled and it is probably much easier for them to use all caps, especially if they don't have the use of their hands. Not saying that applies to Gunsmith, but to throw out judgements and labels like that is just as ignorant.

Clever: It combines the superpowers with the mischief of the characters.

But they have to rely on the media to connect the word 'CHRONICLE' with 'FLYING MAN STUNT IN NY' for it to be effective.

I guess it doesn't take much to annoy people nowadays. If Gunsmith were to make long, drawn-out posts, I would understand that could get annoying. Doesn't even bother me with his short posts. To each their own, but I think life is way to short to be all bent out of shape over someone typing a couple sentences in caps. Seriously?

Morty@ Reading comprehension is your best friend. I didn't come close to saying Gunsmith is mentally challenged. How do you get mentally challenged out of being not able to use your hands and I didn't even say Gunsmith couldn't use his hands or is physically challenged. Nice job of trying to twist things around. Seems as only one person is coming across as being challenged here.

Don't know how effective this is at marketting the film, but it's pretty cool. Film looks good too. If it's successful, there will be much hatred because it isn't a name brand supehero property.
