Hey, remember Flatliners, the 1990 thriller with Keifer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, and William Baldwin?  The one directed by Joel Schumacher, who would later go on to directed several John Grisham adaptations and put nipples on the batsuit with Batman Forever and Batman and Robin?  Yeah, that's the one.  Sony is apparently actively developing a new Flatliners remake, and according to ComingSoon, the studio has just hired Ben Ripley to write the screenplay.

The first official clip from X-Men: First Class showed James McAvoy's Charles Xavier chilling at the Pentagon and convincing some CIA and military brass the mutants do, in fact, exist.  A brand spanking new clip from the prequel again features McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and G-Man Oliver Platt.  This time, they're being introduced to scientist Hank McCoy, well in advance of his transformation into the furry blue Beast. Check out the clip to see Xavier flexing his mind-reading abilities, Mystique swooning, and McCoy's pre-blueness mutation.

If a movie is a full meal, then a movie trailer is sort of a fun-sized candy bar.  TV spots, then, are basically sugar cubes.  Today we have two new sugar cubes from X-Men: First Class, the prequel set in the midst of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and directed by Matthew Vaughn. The first shows off new mutant powers, like the laser blasts of Lucas Till's Havok and the be-thumbed feet of Beast, played by Nicholas Hoult.  The second spot has Michael Fassbender's Magneto delivering a polemic on the evils of mankind, while wearing his sexy helmet and dealing with hundred of missiles.  Watch away.

The character trailers released last week included dialogue exchanges longer than any one piece of X-Men: First Class footage seen previously, but today, 20th Century Fox released the first actual clip from the prequel.  In he minute-long excerpt, James McAvoy's young Professor Xavier is dropping the existence of mutants at the Pentagon, with a credibility boost from Mystique, played by Jennifer Lawrence.  Also on hand are Rose Byrne and Oliver Platt, representing the CIA.

You know how sometimes, a hoarder will get trapped beneath a metric ton of old TV Guides and newspapers, crushed by an avalanche of their own obsessive tendencies?  Today, we are all that hoarder, and the plethora of X-Men: First Class promotional material unleashed over the last several hours has engulfed each in every one of us in the best possible way.  In addition to the gee-whiz awesome first trailer released this morning, there's now an even cooler international trailer online for your viewing pleasure.

Hey, remember the really nifty X-Men: First Class trailer that was crazy impressive, despite all the dialogue being in Russian?  You know, the one that showcased Michael Fassbender's Magneto and the huge scale of the prequel's Cuban Missile Crisis storyline?  The trailer is now available online in English, so those of us who don't speak Russian can understand what James McAvoy is actually saying.  Check it out, courtesy of traileraddict.

In this summer's prequel X-Men: First Class, James McAvoy plays a younger version of Professor Xavier, portrayed in previous X-films by former Jean Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart.  Along with Magneto, played by Michael Fassbender, the young Charles Xavier is the driving figure behind the story, which sees the formation of the first mutant team, a team that promptly becomes entangled in the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.  Beyond that, much of the story has been mysterious, but in a new interview, McAvoy spills a whole lot of spoilerific beans.  Read on, if you want to peek at your presents, so to speak.
