Something
of a stir was created at the end of last week with the sudden appearance
of the long awaited trailer for the new X-Men film on US TV shows Entertainment
Tonight and E! News Daily.
Judging from the reactions posted on the web, fans seem well pleased, if not to say ecstatic at what they saw. You can judge for yourself by visiting the official X-Men trailer site at Apple and watch the Quicktime version. The film directed by Bryan Singer, stars Stewart as Prof. X - leader of a group of mutants trying to live in peace with humans, whilst arch-enemy Magneto played by Sir Ian McKellen and his mutants are out to destroy humanity. The X-Men are the world's most popular comic book creation from Marvel comics Expect the forthcoming publicity
and news on this film due for release on 14th July in the US, and
August
in the UK, to be huge!
