Escape From RL

Alright this is sick! It has recently been announced that Director Matthew Vaughn will be bringing a new film to us called X-Men: First Class.

This film is actually based on a story written by the director of the original X-Men film, you know the one that kind of started this whole comic books as movies thing. It’s story, as I’m sure everyone has already guessed, shows us how the X-Men saga began and supposedly, “Reveals a secret history of famous global events.” Now this film looks so awesome because it takes us all the way back to when Professor X and Magneto were still Charles and Erik. If I’m not mistaken this movie will show us how they became friends and who they are today. The trailer is pretty sick as we can see lots of familiar faces, just much younger.It’s almost like a game, how many characters can you pick out from the trailer? The cast sees such actors as James McAvoy, Rose Byrne and Michael Fassbender and numerous others whom I’m sure won’t let us down.

Here is what it says on the youtube page:

X-MEN FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.

And here are some screenshots from the trailer if you want to take a closer look c;
