Here’s a new photo from X-Men: First Class that either shows January Jones and Kevin Bacon in a scene from their own private heist film where they steal lighting fixtures from the most secret high-tech corner of Home Depot, or actually depicts Emma Frost and Hellfire Club leader Sebastian Shaw in some equally secret corner of the Hellfire Club.

When you see Matthew Vaughn‘s X-Men: First Class on June 3, you’ll be watching one of the most quickly-made tentpoles in recent studio history. After passing on the third X-Men film in part because he wouldn’t have time to make it properly, director Matthew Vaughn ended up signing on to First Class with only a few months to make the film. (Shooting started in September 2010 for that June 3 2011 release. Fine for an indie, but rushed for an effects-heavy film.) The director has admitted that he’s working right down to the wire to get the film finished, and frankly has sounded a bit frazzled by the frantic pace.
Now January Jones echoes his comments, while praising the skills of her director. Read More »

20th Century Fox has released the first movie trailer for Matthew Vaughn‘s X-Men: First Class on Facebook. Based on a story by original X-Men director Bryan Singer, the new film is a Casino Royale-style prequel/reboot of the comic book movie series. The story “charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events.” This first trailer gives a much better idea of what we can expect from this film. And it seems like it should calm fans worried that we wouldn’t see much mutant action.
Hit the jump to watch it now. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Here’s the first small image of the assembled cast for Matthew Vaughn‘s X-Men: First Class. Left to right, we see: Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Lucas Till as Havoc, Zoe Kravitz as Angel Salvadore, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Charles Xavier.
I expect that we’ll see a better version of this image later today — I’d initially held off posting this one because it looks like an early, not quite finished look. And, frankly, I’m a bit disappointed in how this looks. It’s a lot more modern than I’d expected, but perhaps a high-res version will showcase the small costume details in a better way. What about you — is this what you expected to see from the ’60s-set X-Men prequel ? [Originally from MSN; link dead; via TheDailyBlam! and Bleeding Cool]
Matthew Vaughn‘s X-Men: First Class will be released later this year, and Fox has managed to keep the film somewhat quiet. A lot of fragmentary info has leaked out, creating a partial image of what we can expect from the ’60′s era prequel that explores the early friendship and enmity between Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender).
Add a couple more tiny bits of info to the pile, as January Jones, who moves from Mad Men into the white boots of Emma Frost, has talked on the record about a few aspects of the film. Read More »
