Despite being trumpeted as 20th Century Fox’s second biggest production ever (right behind Avatar), it seems that Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past is not done yet.
As reported in The Calgary Herald, X-Men: Days of Future Pastis returning to Montreal for additional photography. According to the paper, the deal was made when Quebec Film Commissioner Hans Fraikin met with Fox executives last week to make the deal.
“A couple of weeks is a big reshoot,” Fraikin said, who admittedly could be emphasizing the size of the reshoots more for its impact on Montreal commerce than necessarily the film’s production.
It is unclear who will be back, but as actor Daniel Cudmore (Colossus) tweeted last week that he is returning to Canada, more scenes for the film’s futuristic side are probably a good bet.
Director Bryan Singer of the first two still-loved films is back, along with most of the cast from those flicks. Also returning are Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence from the groovy 2011 prequel, X-Men: First Class. But best of all, everything in between those films, including two or three clunkers nobody can truly remember, are about to get erased from continuity with a time travel story based on the much-lauded Chris Claremont and John Byrne comic book that is still revered by fans to this day. If you’ve seen the viral marketing for the Sentinels, the alternate timeline and especially Peter Dinklage rocking a ‘70s ‘stache as the big bad, you know that we are in for a treat that could rival anything coming from the House of Mouse.
