You didn't see this comparison coming:

 

Bryan Singer has been discussing what we can expect from X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and has rather excitingly compared it to The Usual Suspects.

“[It resembles The Usual Suspects] in two ways,” says Singer. “One structurally, and also in the way I’ve shot it, because I shot the future elements that take place in the future first.”

Usual Suspects was this movie starring Kevin Spacey, Chazz Palminteri, Dan Hedaya, Giancarlo Esposito, and then they all left, and then a new group came - the suspects.”

“The same thing here - we had the X-Men of the future, all of them, all the actors I had worked with from the past all came, and then they left and a whole new group arrived, so you really feel like you’re making two very different movies.”

That said, the scale on which Singer is working this time around is significantly bigger than anything he has done in the past…

“There are 26 main characters, seven of them with a lot of restrictions in schedules,” continues Singer. “I wanted Evan Peters, I wanted all these actors but they all have these TV shows, which makes it really hard to schedule.”

“The reason he was announced so late is that I didn’t want to announce the character until I had an actor. It took me so long to figure that out!”

Not long to wait now to see how it all hangs together, with X-Men: Days Of Future Past opening in the UK on 22 May 2014.

If the Usual Suspects were made today it would suck.

 

 

The original film's cast included Kevin Spacey as Roger "Verbal" Kint (AKA you know who), Gabriel Byrne as ex-cop Dean Keaton, Benicio del Toro as the marble-mouthed Fenster, Kevin Pollack as the hijacker Hockney, Stephen Baldwin as hot-headed thief McManus, Chazz Palminteri as US Customs Agent Dave Kujan, Suzy Amis as Keaton's girlfriend-lawyer Edie Finneran, and Pete Postlethwaite as Kobayashi.

Singer revealed that if he were making the film now he'd cast Benedict Cumberbatch as Verbal Kint, Chris Hemsworth as Keaton, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Fenster, Dane DeHaan as McManus, Jonah Hill as Hockney, Jennifer Lawrence as Edie, Michael Fassbender as Kobayashi, and Edward James Olmos as Kujan.

I won't be. Fox and Sony are feeling the heat to start matching Marvel's cinematic output. Since they already have a script and a director lined up, I don't see why they wouldn't move ahead with it, unless DOFP bombs and they throw the breaks on everything to regroup. It honeslty seems more likely to happen soon than the possible Mangold/Jackman Wolverine sequel that's been talked about a little.

Which version of X-Force do they go with though?  Rick Remender's run was fantastic but it's too dark to be sold as a kid-friendly, comic book movie.

 

I wonder if they would dare introduce Cable into the movies.  His origin is so convoluted that it might just be better to have him just show up as a bad-ass mutant from the future and leave out the Cyclops-Madelyne Pryor stuff.

I don't think the X-Force movie will adapt any one particular version of X-Force.

It's not like any of the X-Men movies as of now have been super faithful to the comic books anyways.

I wouldn't even be surprised, if they throw some X-Men in there, who have never even been a member of any version of X-Force.
