good for them, Didn't Alan Cumming say he wasn't coming back so I don't see how there gonna use him but I guess they could full on CG for him but I think its kinda pointless.

@Jollem Let me make my self clear I meant its pointless having a pure CG nightcrawler with out having Alan Cumming doing mocap or whatever the dude is Nightcrawler. He's probably my characters and especially they way he was portrayed in all of the X-men movies.

Too bad they didn't get the people who did the FX for Superman Returns. Still looking forward to this movie although I wish Singer and Ratner would work on it together. Then it would be the perfect X movie.

JerBear: Have to disagree fully on WETA, Gollum looked awesome but there were so many times in The Hobbit that the CGI looked fake, especially on Azog. I saw the movie in 48FPS so that might be the reason however. Agreed on ILM for The Avengers, their work was fantastic.

Life of Pi was visually stunning! And the fact that the same team that worked on Pi will work on Days Of Future Past, just raises the bar of anticipation!

The tiger in Life of Pi WAS real. They blue screened him in. So... Sorry the tiger didn't look "real" to you. This is the best news I've heard about this movie so far. I was glad to hear Singer was back, but thought the Jack the Giant Slayer effects looked janky as hell. The effects on Life of Pi were amazing and they'll make the X-Men look awesome.

@weneedrevelation

I believe the same. Singer KNOWS this is his make or break movie, because its his universe, and his third movie, so the preassure will pay off, and in a big way. The storyarc is intense, so if he achieves at least two portions of it, this will be an impressive movie

Life of Pi was beautiful to look at the 3D was incredible. Good Choice

Hoping this is the best, most mind-blowing X-movie so far and sets the franchise up for years to come!
