The film would have Efron star in the lead role as a kid who goes on an existential journey to Eastern Europe and falls in love with a young woman who has ties with the criminal underworld. The film had no director attached unti
Fox has released another image for X-Men:First Class, this time it features Lucas Till as Havok. It is still too early to tell anything about the film from this image especially after the average trailer, and a few not so great posters.

Cars may not have been Pixar’s highest grossing movie, but it was one of the biggest concerning merchandising. The sequel on the other hand, may have a harder time making money, partially due to its unoriginal story.

The photo you are looking at isn’t something from a fun house, it’s a new photo featuring January Jones and Kevin Bacon from X-Men: First Class. The image comes courtesy of Empire and shows Jones and Bacon in the Hellfire Club. It makes me wonder how a room of mirrors with a blue light in the centre factors into the film. Either way, you have to be impressed with the way that Matthew Vaughn is pushing through with this film and will manage to finish editing it in time for its June 3rd release.

After Hours, just what is After Hours, well it is a movie column named after one of my favorite Martin Scorsese films. After Hours will feature any movie news we might have missed during the day. After all we human.
