In the time-honored tradition of making movie sequels that actually take place before the events of the original movie, Fox Studios has decided to tell the story of the first mutants to learn about super-heroing and love from Professor X before they were all killed off in X3. The script for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS is being written by the creator of GOSSIP GIRLS, an ill omen if ever there was one.
The only hope that I have for this movie is that they really have fun with it. If they’re going to keep with the timeline of the first X-MEN, this should take place in the late 80′s or early 90′s; so they should do stuff like have Beast get one of those two-story square hair-do’s and listen to Kid and Play while Cyclops walks around in his Michael Jackson jacket.
