NEW – X-Men: First Class Trailer

February 10, 2011 2 comments

Okay, I know it feels like this site is simply turning into a website for trailers, but what can I say? They pump me up. Now while the last two X-Men installments left a terrible taste in my mouth, I am excited for this one for a simple reason: Michael Fassbender. This dude is perhaps one of the most exciting up-and-comers in the industry. I simply cannot get enough of him, from his scene-stealing performance as the undercover British major in “Inglourious Basterds” to his award-winning turn as an Irish hunger striker in “Hunger.” He is a sight to behold on the screen, and how he gets to chew it up as a young Magneto. It’s also worth noting that the highly talented, and even more highly gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence will have a role in this, as well.

We’ll see if this film will pull its weight as well as the first two films did. View the new trailer, below:

Well, I guess it’s never too early to start planning ahead for next year’s Oscar race, even if we haven’t gotten done with the previous one, yet. I might be a little bit more psyched for this film had it not been Robert Redford’s last directorial misstep, “Lions for Lambs,” a film that was also, at one point, considered an Oscar contender.

To be honest, there’s really not a lot that doesn’t look compelling about this movie. It’s an important and tragic historical tale about one of the most pivotal points in the country’s history. It’s a courtroom drama, with potential for a lot of fiery dialogue and tension. Plus you’ve got a cast of James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Evan Rachel Wood, Colm Meaney, Kevin Kline, Norman Reedus, Justin Long, Danny Huston, Alexis Bledel, and the legendary Tom Wilkinson.

Whether or not it measures up we won’t know until its arrival. Personally, I’m kind of looking forward to that date.
