James McAvoy spies, Rosario Dawson sprints in first images from Danny Boyle's 'Trance'
We've been waiting a good long while for Danny Boyle's
Trance. While the British filmmakers last movie,
127 Hours,
only came out in 2010, he began talking about it all the way back in
May of 2011, before he started his work on the opening ceremony for the
2012 Olympic Games. But with the film close to completion and confirmed
for a March 2013 release date in the UK, we should soon start seeing a
lot more from the movie - and that starts with the first official
images.
USA Today
has published the first pictures from the heist thriller, including
three stills and one behind-the-scenes look at Boyle making the movie.
The shots give us our first look at Rosario Dawson,
James McAvoy and
Vincent Cassell in their respective roles, and you can check out all of
them at the source to see them in their highest
resolution.
Partially based on a 2001 British TV movie with the same title, the
story follows a fine-art auctioneer (McAvoy) who is working with a group
of professional theives (led by Vincent Cassell) to steal a valuable
work of art. When he is struck with a case of amnesia, however, and the
painting is lost, he turns to a hypnotherapist (Dawson) to try and
rediscover the lost treasure. While the film will be out early next year
over in Europe, Fox Searchlight Pictures has not yet said where they
will be putting the thriller on the release calendar. Given the amount
of success Boyle has had during award season, don't be too surprised if
we have to wait a little while for
Trance.

Will bald Prof. X battle Sentinels in 'Days of Future Past'?
X-Men: Days of Future Past is bringing out the big guns.
Actor
James McAvoy, who plays a young Charles Xavier, recently discussed
some changes in the upcoming sequel. The landscape is totally
different, and so are the characters. The X-Men could encounter their
biggest foes yet.
McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, will be joined by their older
counterparts, Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen. Since the film
deals with time travel, their appearances could be easily explained. Now
that we've seen the team's origin in
First Class, it's time to get down to the good stuff.
First off, will we ever see those overbearing robots called
Sentinels? Even though Mark Millar (Marvel's Property Creative
Consultant) has hinted at their inclusion, McAvoy is staying vague. He
told Total Film, "As a fan of the X-Men world and lexicon, I share lots
of other fans' hopes and dreams and I'd like to see Sentinels ..."
In
X-Men 3: The Last Stand, there was a
blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo of a Sentinel's severed head.
Unfortunately, it wasn't from a legitimate battle. It was part of a
Danger Room training exercise. Giant robots may be a nebulous subject,
but Professor Xavier's hair isn't.
Prior to the release of
First Class a lot of us wondered
about two things: Professor X's walking and his luscious locks. McAvoy
revealed that his character's hair loss is a topic of discussion for
Days.
"[Screenwriter] Simon Kinberg and I had a chat about it and
we came up with a whole bunch of idea about how, why and where he might
go bald. It's got to be linked to the plot though," McAvoy explained.
"In the comics, he lost his hair as soon as his powers awakened, and
we clearly didn't follow the source material. It can't just be that he
looks in the mirror at the end of the film and goes 'Oh [frick], I'm
losing my hair'.
Are you ready for Prof. X to embrace his baldness?
X-Men: Days of Future Past opens in theaters July 18, 2014.
