Pending its first public airing at Comic-Con next week, Bryan Singer has taken to the social medias with a brief, busy teaser for the new Rogue Cut of X-Men: Days Of Future Past. See how many new bits you can spot.
"This is not just an extended edition of X-Men: Days Of Future Past," says the director, "but an all-new version of the film." Writer/producer Simon Kinberg said previously that, “We want to give fans the fullest picture of the film – behind the camera, and in front of it. Every movie has scenes that are cut out, but not every movie has scenes cut out with such a beloved character.”
[Here be possible spoilers]. Empire has seen it, and we can confirm that it's 18 minutes longer than the theatrical version, and despite the Anna Paquin-centric title, surprisingly Rogue-light. "She gets rescued from the X-Mansion," reports our reviewer, "but only has a few short lines of dialogue. It's actually Magneto and Mystique who get more to do. Ian McKellen is central to a big, VFX-heavy sequence involving stabby Sentinels, while Mystique pops into the X-Mansion and has a roll-around with Beast. It gets very blue."
The new extra features the teaser teases for the Blu-ray include an hour-long documentary and a 30-minute group interview with most of the stars (but not Paquin).
As we said, X-Men: Days Of Future Past - The Rogue Cut gets its public premiere at Comic-Con in San Diego next week. The trailer gives July 14 as the release date for the Blu-ray and DVD, but in the UK we actually get it a day earlier on July 13. Take that, America!
