Principal photography commenced on Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class this week, at Pinewood Studios & surrounding locales in England. And now according to the sources of "X-Men" media blog site XMF, we may know what the filming crew has first on the schedule.

"Some of the first scenes being filmed involve Charles Xavier attending Oxford University debating the mutant phenomenon, and Erik Lensherr dealing with the horrifying events in Auschwitz via a flashback sequence."

In other First Class news, there has been low resolution image floating around that many believe is a concept, if not official, logo for the upcoming mutant "silver-age" adaption.



Clearly it isn't anything too extravagant or mind bottling, but if accurate, at least we have an idea of what direction they're going design wise. And the direction doesn't seem too diverse from the previous "X-Men" trilogy.

Anyhow, X-Men: First Class stars James McAvoy (Xavier), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), January Jones (Emma Frost), Nicholas Hoult (Beast),Caleb Landry Jones (Banshee), Lucas Till (Havok), and Kevin Bacon (Sebastian Shaw), Edi Gathegi(Darwin), Jason Flemyng (Azazel), Rose Byrne (Dr. Moira MacTaggert), Zoe Kravitz (Angel), and Oliver Platt (the man in black).

And in Matthew Vaughn's direction, the mutant-flick hits theaters June 3, next year!

@DCMF No prob dude! sorry 'bout the '...' I just dunno what to think about this film...tryin' to stay optimistic haha
erth2drew
erth2drew - 9/6/2010, 9:50 PM
i dont have a lot of faith in this flick either....however i will see it most likely on dvd unless the trailer ups the ante and i see something good in it....but let fox butcher this shit we'll have marvel studios back on it once they gain the rights back and we'll eventually see a decent xmen movie...i've been a fan since the cartoon as a kid...its what got me into comics in the first place and its a shame that we haven't recieved a decent movie by now...especially the way we have gotten many other good comic flicks...also i believe x men would work as a bad ass hbo series or something it'd work nicely i think

DCMarvelFreshman
DCMarvelFreshman - 9/6/2010, 9:58 PM
@Breasticles7 Cool. I've never known what style that was, but always thought it looked cool. Awesome job:)

@UnfriendlySpidey That's the only way to go because I'm not a die-hard X-men fan, so I'm gonna walk into the theater with low expectations. (a movie usually turns out good when I do that) haha!

I'll give the trailer a chance to impress me. If the trailer looks exciting I'll give it a chance, if not then I'll wait for HBO to show it.

I hope this bombs at the boxoffice. The only way FOX will take notice is if the bottom line takes a nut kicking. Then, maybe, they'll pull their heads out and just [frick] off. I also hope DVD sales are poor so there is no chance for them to make much profit back in that department either.

This is going down in CBM history as the most talked-about hated CBM movie ever due to the decisions in the story direction regardless of the cool actors signing on board on it. If it does indeed come out as a flop, I pity the actors involved in it... but oh well, at least they still get paid for work regardless of the fact.

One can only hope that if this does bomb, the full rights go back to Marvel and they can make their own definitive X-Men movie that wipes the slate clean.

LOL
LOL - 9/7/2010, 1:25 AM
....on a side note: I know its poor form to bash a movie before we completely see the finished product, but don't blame us that do because the title alone is what turns us off due to the fact that a lot of us wanted to see the original starting line-up team from the 1963 comic book cover translated as an origin story for the big screen.... rather than this convoluted out-of-comic-book-continuity fiasco.

They shouldn't have named it "X-Men: First Class" in the first place to begin with if they were gonna do something this radical.

I have a sneaky suspicion this film will be pretty good (regardless of how it treats the source material) and that it will do well, if not critically, but financially.

Many of the haters will slowly become interested, then pleasantly surprised and then finally supporters of the film.

And lo, much humble pie will be eaten.

I have spoken.
LOL
LOL - 9/7/2010, 2:08 AM
@Orphix... The same can be said to those that say its going to be good in reverse if it comes out as a major facepalm of epic proportions.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out grossing at least over 300 million dollars reportedly overall but still panned with most of the fans and critics in regards to story treatment. It did well financially to warrant a sequel even... but some still hated the first movie because of the liberties some whackos did with some of the characters. Say what you will, the CBM community is fickle on stuff like story treatment and development. You can't please everyone... especially if you hate it enough with a passion.

Treating the source material right was what made Iron Man 1 one of THE best Marvel CBM to date in spite of its updated tweaks, followed by Norton's Hulk to an extent... from what we've all read about some of the actors and actresses that bailed out on X-Men: First Class after a read-through, even a slug would have to know something fishy was already going on. I admit that I'll watch it to see just how far away they've got from the source material and see if its still got any redeeming qualities... and if it doesn't, then you know they'll never live it down from the fans.

REAL X-MEN FIRST CLASS =



Could've been a masterpiece!

Didn't have to be total source material but having the basics in it would of been nice!


No FIRST CLASS in FIRST CLASS = NO CLASS!

[frick] FIIRST A$$!!!

How about I be the first person to see this movie? Then I can tell the mountain of online haters that it's actually an awesome movie?
Or how about the online haters man-up and admit they'll be seeing this movie, despite their negative comments each time an X-Men: First Class article is posted here.
