Hundreds of thousands of X-fans created an uproar on the Internet today as the long awaited trailer for Twentieth Century Fox's newest installment in the popular X-Men franchise was not delivered as promised.
No one knows what exactly is going on with Fox. There are dozens upon dozens of contradicting stories surrounding the controversial film. Some say that the release had been delayed until tomorrow while others insist that it would be online today by 5PM central time.
Jen Chaney from The Washington Post says:
"The press release Fox issued did not include a specific time for the trailer's release, but the X-Men Facebook page previously stated that the trailer would go live at 3 p.m. EST/noon PST. As the minutes ticked by with no clip, Facebookers started posting comments along the lines of "EPIC FAIL!!!!" and "This needs to be posted, like, yesterday. come on, fox." and "Im telling you, magneto erased it." (Honestly, the comment thread -- with 1,200-plus barbs and still growing -- may wind up being more entertaining than the trailer.)"
"When I reached out to Fox for an explanation, it responded by sending -- via a regional Fox publicist -- another copy of the previous press release. Either the studio is playing dumb or stalling." (courtesy of washingtonpost.com)

...On a side note, I find it to be absolutely hilarious that everyone is freaking out because they haven't yet seen a trailer for a movie they already hate...
