International theater owners gathered in Barcelona, Spain for the annual CineEurope convention. Attendees were treated to exclusive footage from a number of high profile films, one of which included Brian Singers’ “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
Still filming in Montreal, Singer and actor Hugh Jackman relayed messages to convention goers via videotape. Singer gave a tour of part of the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” set. He claimed this was the most ambitious X-Men film to date featuring the casts from the X-Men trilogy along with the 2011 origin feature “X-Men: First Class.” This is what Singer told the foreign theater owners.
“It takes place all over the world, including in Russia, China and Japan. So there will more of an international flair than the other films.”
Here is the storyline for “X-Men: Days of Future Past:”
The storyline alternates between present day, in which the X-Men fight Mystique’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline caused by the X-Men’s failure to prevent the Brotherhood from assassinating Senator Robert Kelly. In this future universe, Sentinels (giant mutant-hunting robots) rule the United States, and mutants live in internment camps. The present-day X-Men are forewarned of the possible future by a future version of their teammate Kitty Pryde, whose mind traveled back in time and possessed her younger self to warn the X-Men. She succeeds in her mission and returns to the future, but despite her success, the future timeline still exists as an alternative timeline rather than as the actual future.
“X-Men: Days of Future Past” comes to theaters on July 18, 2014. The film stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Peter Dinklage, Halle Berry, Daniel Cudmore, Fan Bingbing, Booboo Stewart, Evan Peters, and Omar Sy. Simon Kinberg and Matthew Vaughn wrote the screenplay, which is adapted from the comic book story written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. The film is directed by Bryan Singer.
