brief introduction

Born to be a group of aliens with special functions. Everyone has a mutated gene at birth, which makes everyone show power beyond human imagination: Cyclops (james marsden), whose death ray can open a hole in the mountain; Jane Grey (Finch Jane) is good at teleportation and telepathy; There is also a storm (Harry Berry), which can control the sky and call it rain.

In this world dominated by human beings full of hatred and prejudice, they are variants, alternatives and monsters. Some people are afraid of them, hate them, refuse to accept them, and just want to drive them out of human sight. Senator Robert Kelly (Bruce Davison) is such a "slanderer". Professional politicians wants to expose these "dangerous" aliens through legislation. In his view, because society knows very little about different kinds, many different kinds and their kind can survive.

Led by Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), the most famous master of superpowers, these talented students finally know how to control their superpowers for the benefit of mankind. Their goal is to fight for the world that fears them.

Two new members join the team of professors: Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), a lonely fighting machine with super self-recovery ability, a pair of retractable alloy steel claws and a bad temper. The other is Naughty (anna paquin), a magical little girl who can absorb each other's memory and energy just by touching each other.

Professor's "X-Men" soon discovers that they are involved in a tough battle with Professor Xavier's former colleague and college friend Wan Ciwang (Ian McKellen?), who is one of the most powerful aliens in the world. He firmly believes that heterogeneous people and human beings can't live in peace, and only heterogeneous people should be the future rulers of this world. He and his evil followers swore that they would not stop until they got what they wanted. Look who they are! Kouga the Great (Taylor Mahler); The shape-shifting witch (Rebecca Romadin-Stamos) and the short-sighted toad (ray park), whose black hands not only threaten the survival of mankind, but also include other aliens. In order to protect themselves and mankind, the X-Men have only one way-fight to the end!

20 secrets

1.x-Men is the most successful comic book.

2. "X-Men" has been rumored to make a film version for 20 years, but the official filming of the decision was still six years ago.

3. The X-Men originally had at least six draft scripts, including Gladiator and Seven Deaths.

There are 500 special effects in X-Men, but director Bryan Singer insists that it is not an action movie.

Although the filming process of X-Men is extremely confidential, there are still many gossips circulating on the Internet. Some web page producers even hire "spies" to interview secretly, or "Hang Hong" provides inside information about the film.

6. This film is the first film version of X-Men. As a matter of fact, Fox Company has produced a comic book of this film at 1992.

7. The production cost of X-Men is as high as $75 million, but it is still not the most expensive comic film. Batman and Robin, starring George Clooney, costs twice as much to make.

8. Hugh Jackman, who plays the leading role of "Werewolf", is actually only the second choice. At first, the director found Dogley Scott, the villain of Professional Agent 2, but Dogley missed the opportunity.

9. Because X-Men comics have won the love of too many fans, this movie has certainly attracted a lot of criticism. For example, the uniform of "werewolf" should not change from yellow to blue to black; Mature and beautiful "orphan girls" should not let "pretty girls" anna paquin perform; Fick Jenson, the heroine of the movie version of Ghost Bird, has a lock of red hair missing from her forehead and so on. However, the biggest protest of fans is of course the white long vacation hair that plays the role of "Storm Goddess" Harry Barry, which is complained as "extremely unnatural".

10. It's terrible that The Demon Queen can be deformed, but according to Rebecca, who plays this role, the most terrible thing is that before filming, the staff have to paint the body blue for several hours and stick 90 pieces of broken tape on it.

1 1. Ian McKellen?, who plays the villain "Wan Ciwang" in this film, actually worked with the director Brian Singer before the film "Apt Pupil", and Ian played the Nazi officer. In this film, Ian plays the villain leader again, but coincidentally, "Wan Ciwang" is an orphan in a Nazi concentration camp, which is a coincidence.

12. Thin Ian plays the villain "Wan Ciwang". In order to avoid wearing combat clothes, he needs to wear some "muscle clothes" to make his shoulders, chest and arms look thicker.

13. I think "laser eye" with red LCD glasses is really fashionable. In fact, his vision was blocked after he put on his glasses, and he needed help walking on the set.

14. Although the actors get along well off-screen, Hugh Jackman, who plays the leading role of "Werewolf", refuses to exercise or exercise with Taylor Mann, who plays the powerful enemy "Saber-toothed Tiger" in the play, saying that he wants to keep that "competitive feeling".

15. In the movie, the battle clothes worn by the actors are all thick black leather coats, which are airtight. Hugh Jackman, the protagonist of The Werewolf, once filmed several action scenes, and fainted after a few somersaults.

16. All comic fans of the X-Men are extremely looking forward to the movie version, because the original author Stan Lee will appear in the movie as BLACKPINK, making a guest appearance as a hot dog vendor.

17. People think that the saber-toothed tiger only needs two fangs. In fact, Taylor Mann, who plays this role, also needs to wear a huge fake forehead and a pair of four-inch high heels.

18. It turns out that the X-Men once met the characters in Star Trek. The first time was in the comic book "X-Men", the mutant hero cooperated with the members of Starfleet. The second time, in Planet X published by Star Trek, the encounter between Professor X and Captain Picard and others was told. If it is made into a movie version, doesn't Patrick Stewart have to play both roles?

19. The comic book X-Men has been popular for 37 years, and there are always 34 mutants in the book. Since only 65,438+00 leading characters can appear in this film version, many fans protested against other popular characters, such as "Shadow Cat" and "Colossus", and only waiting for the sequel can they get the chance to appear.

20. Based on the fanaticism of American X fans, this film has not been released yet. Many producers and film companies have plans to make sequels and plan to add more roles. -Chibi

Make an inside story

As early as 1963, Stan Lee, editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics Publishing House, created X-Men comics and many heroes. The X-Men, like Superman and Spider-Man, are also a group of miraculous heroes. While fighting the big bad guys, their own experiences are different from ordinary people and full of tragedy.

The film version of X-Men in 2000 was prepared for several years. In fact, as early as six years ago, lauren shuler donner, the producer of this film, planned to put this popular cartoon on the screen. 1998, 20th Century Fox set up a team, including Bryan Singer, the director of The Common Suspect, and Michael Fink, the visual effects director of Batman Returns, to start making X-Men. Yuan Heping, a Hong Kong-made martial arts instructor who filmed The Matrix and Romeo Must Die, also took part, which is also the honor of Hong Kong people.

The X-Men, which cost 75 million dollars to produce, not only used a lot of computer stunts, but also spent a lot of money to create many different scenes, as many as 80, and as many as 200 people were responsible for making the scenes. The scenes they created included Elizabethan castles, German barracks, Indian villages and huge bases for loyalists and traitors. Among them, the most difficult thing is to build an underground fortress in Wan Ciwang. John Myhre, nominated for the Oscar for Best Production Design, said: "This fortress is surrounded by water, except for heavy metals. We first paved the scene with asphalt, then made a moat and filled it with 10 inch of water. Sometimes we have to stand in the water and shoot! "

No wonder the X-Men, which has been popular for nearly 38 years, was enthusiastically sought after by X-Men fans after the news that it was made into a movie version. In addition to netizens secretly reporting the X-Men scandal, Premiere, an American film magazine, also made three cover issues for the release of X-Men. In addition, because the release date of the X-Men is 14 July in the United States and 13 July in Australia, some X-Men fans even fly to Australia to see the X-Men first, so as to get ahead of others!
