Teaser Poster for X-Men: Days of Future Past Featuring Young and Old Xavier and Magneto


Fresh from SDCC 2013 comes two new posters for Bryan Singer's X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST featuring the old and young version of Magneto and Charles Xavier.

If you're not aware, the young Magneto, as seen in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, was played by Michael Fassbender while the elder Mags was done in the original trilogy by Sir Ian McKellen.


As for Charles Xavier, we've got Patrick Stewart for the older version and James McAvoy (Wanted, Trance) as the younger version. 


We have to thank Entertainment Weekly for showing us this amazing teaser poster. That alone will stoke fans who are preparing for the worldwide release next year. 

Interestingly enough, McAvoy is definitely sporting the dishiveled look, the same look he was spotted a month or so ago on the set of the film. Are they going to go with that look for the entire film?

Also it seems like the older gentlemen are definitely wearing the battle armor that was seen earlier.

James McAvoy Looks Grizzled in Days of Future Past Photo

Why does James McAvoy resemble Gary Sinise's Lt.Dan in this new photo from the set of Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past?



He's reprising his role as Professor X from 'X-Men: First Class" by the way. And also why the eff is he looking so grizzled??? And why is he in a wheelchair while Patrick Stewart is walking about; particularly in this juicy rumor... Another new mystery that's waiting to be solved when X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theaters 2014.

Danny Boyle's Trance Review

Reviewing Danny Boyle's new movie Trance from 20th Century Fox starring James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel.


So before the review itself, I'd like to thank the good folks at 20th Century Fox for the invite. Truly a great movie you've got. It's also a good break from all the Summer Blockbusters and superhero movies coming out. That being said, on to the review.

There's a lot of words in my head when you mention 'Trance' but for me, the words HYPNOTIC and MINDFUCK is the best way to describe the film in all it's entirety. You could also chuck in the word ART FILM for good measure. Yes, in my humble opinion this new offering from Boyle is that good.

Patrick Stewart Wearing James McAvoy's Professor X Uniform?

Am I seeing things or is the older Professor X played by Sir Patrick Stewart wearing the James McAvoy's X-Men uniform from 'First Class'?



How can I tell? Notice the shoulder straps? It's very similar to the one in the Matthew Vaughn directed X-Men: First Class. Oh and there's also the collar. That collar looked great on Michael Fassbender's Magneto but not so much for James McAvoy's Charles Xavier.

Rosario Dawson Recovers Stolen Memories in Danny Boyle's Trance

In the psychological caper “Trance” directed by Academy Award winner Danny Boyle, Rosario Dawson delves deep into her role as Elizabeth Lamb, a hypnotherapist that she says has broken every mold of a character she’s ever played.



Stolen memories will resurface in “Trance.” Simon (James McAvoy), a fine art auctioneer, teams up with a criminal gang to steal a Goya painting worth millions of dollars. After suffering a blow to the head during the heist, he awakens to discover he has no memory of where he hid the painting. When physical threats and torture fail to produce answers, the gang’s leader Franck (Vincent Cassel) hires hypnotherapist Elizabeth Lamb (Rosario Dawson) to reach into the darkest recesses of Simon’s psyche. As Elizabeth begins to unravel Simon’s broken subconscious, the line between truth, suggestion, and deceit begin to blur.

Director Danny Boyle: Head-Spinning Heist in Trance

Academy-Award winner Danny Boyle brings together James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson and Vince Cassel in a stirring ensemble performance in the mind-bending action thriller “Trance.”

Boyle, whose worldwide acclaimed works “Slumdog Millionaire,” “Shallow Grave,” “Trainspotting” and “127 Hours” that covered themes such as triumph of the human spirit despite abject poverty and reality brings a new kind of thrill in “Trance.” Boyle crafts a wildly twisted mind puzzle exploring identity, madness and perception using the altered state of hypnotic trance.

“Trance” introduces us to Simon (McAvoy), a fine art auctioneer, who teams up with a criminal gang to steal a Goya painting, a work of art worth millions of dollars, but after suffering a blow to the head during the heist he wakes to discover that he has no memory of where he has hidden the painting. When physical threats and torture fail to produce answers, the gang’s leader Franck (Cassel) hires hypnotherapist Elizabeth Lamb (Dawson) to delve into the darkest recesses of Simon’s psyche. As she digs deeper into his broken subconscious, the stakes become much higher and the boundaries between desire, reality and hypnotic suggestion begin to blur and disappear.

“After “Slumdog,” producer Christian Colson and I were looking for new work to do together and I told him there were a couple of ideas I’d always been drawn to: the Aron Ralston story - which became “127 Hours” - and this mad thriller called “Trance,” recalls Boyle. “It felt like it would be perfect material for John Hodge. Boyle worked closely with screenwriter John Hodge -- with whom he collaborated on “Shallow Grave” and then on the acclaimed and shocking black comedy about Scottish junkies, “Trainspotting” -- on a screenplay that melds dangerous seduction and electrifying action in a suspense filled spiral.
