UPDATE: X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Confirmed To Be Released In 48FPS?
There had already been some speculation after Bryan Singer praised the format back when The Hobbit was out, but now AICN reckon they've confirmed that the new X-flick will be filmed and released in the controversial frame rate. Read on for more
According to Ain't It Cool News, 2 trusted sources have confirmed yo them that Bryan Singer will shoot and release X-Men: Days Of Future Past in controversial 48fps. "X:DoFP was shot in HFR and will be released in 48fps. The filmmakers played coy because of the negative reaction to the technology when the Hobbit film was released, but love the results and will be standing behind a theatrical release in high frame rate." Why controversial? Well, back when Peter Jackson's first Hobbit movie hit in that format -- despite some championing it as the future of cinema -- it was pretty widely panned; but obviously Singer was a big fan. What do you guys think? Were you bowled over or left feeling seasick by The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey?
UPDATE: Fox reps have denied the above rumor.
