First Picture Of X-Men: First Class Jekyll Island Shooting Location!

oh c'mon i want interesting pics not a beach...although i am watching it only because of vaughn. it is gonna suck i'm afraid... try to think it as x-men origins xavier/magneto, not as first class because it is not the first class...

i have no clue as to what this location's purpose might be. maybe a...sand castle building contest betwen magneto and xavier?

Chris McLellan:

How exactly is this not news? It's the first picture of a location that's supposed to involve a pretty big action sequence. (according to some online rumours) You guys could always stop whining and start actually posting news yourselves if it really bothers you that much...

Josh, you have deleted a few of my comments recently, a very very amateurish way of dealing with things. Your an Editor here and i think saying things like "I love the fact that things are going wrong for Fox during the production of this film" shows a very narrow minded and very immature attitude, but it's your right to have that as it should be our right to give our opinions without you hitting the delete button when you don't like it. That style of Journalism is only bad for this great site, surely?

deadpool72: Hehe, thanks buddy! :)

MarvelousMarty: Yeah, I've deleted a couple of whiney and abusive comments but not yours! I didnt even see it I'm afraid, although I'm guesssing Lansdowne5 was replying to you as I couldnt quite work out what he was on about... Either way, I've been doing this for a while now and dont need your advice on being an editor - on a slow news morning, I judged that this was an interesting enough piece of news to post because I know for a fact that there are plenty of people who are interested in seeing and discussing movie locations regardless of the amount of detail they show. Why does that bother you so much exactly? There's no need to comment surely if it doesnt interest you?

Lansdowne5: While I'm tempted to listen to someone who spent months spamming numerous comment sections with "BOYCOTT THE AVENGERS" in giant letters advice about being a "quality reporter", I'll pass with you thanks. And are you seriously trying to say that just because I post news on this site, I'm not allowed to share my opinion in the comments section? [frick] that.

MarvelousMarty: None taken - I appreciate the feedback (so excuse my slightly snarky tone above, lol) and my comment about this article only being posted because of my dislike of Fox was really only an offhand remark made for the benefit of my fellow "[frick] Fox" commenters! :) I found the set picture a little intriguing...maybe that's just me though because as I'm sure you might remember from my constant Captain America set photos posts, I like this sort of thing!

Joshw is not a fascist asshole like some of some of the other editors here.

@ joshw

keep up the good work,mate.

I live 20 minutes from that location. I'd go get some pictures, except...nobody famous is there. Just a loud machine.

Any chance this might be the Savage Land?

Only one reason I want this movie to flop (as well as Wolverine). And that is it might push FOX to relinquish the rights to the X-Men franchise back to Marvel Studios/Disney. They might realize that the franchise has been drained and that there is no more serious money to be made from it anymore.

here is the exact location:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=jekyll+island&ie=UTF8&hl=en&hq=&hnear=Jekyll+Island,+Thalmann,+Glynn,+Georgia+31527&ll=31.061022,-81.405194&spn=0.004853,0.008883&t=h&z=17

We vacation there yearly. My understanding they were going to use the northern part of the island and not this part of the beach. I also wonder if this is part of the redevelopment of the island and not the movie set... or a bit of both.

The name jekyll island gives it a truly interesting and thrilling undertone, and as for the set pics themselves, it really reminds me of the the ending beach shore scenes in the closing of Wolverine Origins.

lol, Number 21 I'm all for conservation, but you're right. lol For God's sake the moon formed when Earth collided with another [frick]ing planet the size of Mars. It’s been frozen, fried, poisoned from gases so deep and in such great quantities from inside itself that the seas nearly turned acid, nearly all plant life and animal life has been wiped out a half dozen times, yet she rebounds... Still she keeps on going. I think ecologist fret too much about the fragility of the planet. We may go, but it doesn't mean she will. Mother Earth will still be spinning when we are long gone and the squid has evolved to take our place.
