My silly fandom tumblr where I reblog the lamest and coolest things that are relevant to my interests. Lately that means a lot of XMFC. :P
CONFIRMED! Jane Goldman collaborating with Matthew Vaughn on X-Men First Class 2 script! :D
This is excellent, excellent news. I have more faith in this sequel than ever.
Fox: “X-Men First Class Sequel is OFFICIAL!!!!!”
TWENTIETH Century Fox has officially confirmed plans for sequels to its summer hits X-Men: First Class and Rise of The Planet of The Apes.
Tom Rothman, co-chairman and chief executive of Fox Filmed Entertainment, says they hope to get Matthew Vaughn back for another X-Men instalment and Rupert Wyatt to continue the Apes storyline.
“Both of them were really great scripts and so we have to be sure to get great scripts again,” Rothman told ComingSoon at the Gotham Independent Film Awards. “We’re working hard on the scripts for both of them, but we have every hope of moving forward with them.”
Rothman’s public statement signals the studio’s determination to build on the critical success of both films.

I wish FOX would stop being so mum on the topic and let us know what’s going on. The fact that Matthew Vaughn is moving onto other projects really scares me :(
MATTHEW VAUGHN IS OFFICIALLY BACK TO DIRECT!!!!!
First Class co-producer Simon Kinberg is currently banging out the initial drafts of the script, which I’m sure will now see revisions on the part of Vaughn and his writing partner Jane Goldman.
No word on what exactly the direction of the new story is, but now that Vaughn is officially back in the fold I’m very much relieved.
Additionally, Bryan Singer is also on board to co-produce with series regular Lauren Shuler-Donner.
Expect more updates soon in terms of an official release date and the eventual casting.
OH.
MY.
GOD!!!
MY EMOTIONNNNNS.

“The ending fight between Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr was going to have them use their powers, but Matthew Vaughn reasoned that since it was an origin story about the early X-Men the fight had to be a more conventional brawl: “Fox were saying, people want to see super heroes use their powers… but not in this film.” “Sometimes they just want to punch each other. That, to me, is what’s different.”“
I love this. That fight between them is made MORE powerful because powers aren’t involved. They go from these god-like men to two friends who are so furious with each other that for a moment they forget they have abilities at all and just want to lash out with all their emotions. It’s brilliant. Little details like this are why I love this movie osomuch.
