Entertainment Tonight Visits the Set of SHERLOCK HOLMES 2
by Matt Goldberg Posted: January 18th, 2011
With filming on Sherlock Holmes 2 currently underway, the production is opening up the set to various outlets. Last week, we reported that Hero Complex had seen some filming of a set piece and now Entertainment Tonight is getting to see what director Guy Ritchie and company have in store for the sequel. For those who want to avoid spoilers on what ET saw, I’ll simply say that Holmes is having even more fun with disguises in the sequel and that his dress-up accompanies what could be a thrilling action scene. We also get a brief look at new cast member Noomi Rapace in action.
Hit the jump to check out ET’s set vision. Sherlock Holmes 2 stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Jared Harris. It’s set to open on December 16th.
First Look at the Cast of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
by Matt Goldberg Posted: January 18th, 2011
The first image of the cast of X-Men: First Class has been released. Because of the horrible photo-shopping job, my first instinct was that the image was faked. But the image comes from MSN [who have now taken down the page] so I’ll assume it’s legit. The film is set in the 1960s (although you couldn’t tell it from these costumes) when apparently light bulbs were in short supply.
From left to right, you can see Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, either Lucas Till as Havoc or Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee (it’s difficult to see!), a young female actress who I don’t recognize, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Professor X. Cast members not pictured include Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, Edi Gathegi, and Zoe Kravitz. Hit the jump for a synopsis of the film. X-Men: First Class is due out June 3rd.
Here’s the official synopsis for X-Men: First Class:
http://collider.com/x-men-first-class-cast-image/71091/X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
