Perfect Sense Trailer: Ewan McGregor and Eva Green Have a Cry-Off

In the wake of all those crazy-making I Melt With You teasers , what we really need from our Sundance previews right now is a vessel for some good old-fashioned character and story. The trailer for Perfect Sense , a festival premiere starring Ewan McGregor and Eva Green and directed by David Mackenzie, is not that vessel.

REVIEW: Next-Level Bloodshed, Stunning Visuals Keep Centurion From Genre Oblivion

If you’re like me, and you find yourself retreating to a safe place in your mind whenever human beings are being graphically decapitated on screen, you’ll spend the majority of Centurion , horror maestro ( The Descent ) Neil Marshall’s Roman bloodbath, on psychological lockdown. The more philosophical and intellectually detached among you might wait out the frequent plasmatic explosions from an interested distance, speculating on the cultural circularities implicit in evisceration as entertainment, or teasing out the film’s bizarre but unmistakable urination motif. The rest — the majority, I suppose — will revel in every hyper-realistic goring, unconcerned with the irony of the bloodthirsty, second-century barbarism Marshall dwells on, giving the film its of-the-moment appeal.

X-Men: First Class To Be Set In The ’60s And Other Mutant Bombshells

Bryan Singer, director of the two good X-Men movies and producer of the upcoming X-Men: First Class , bravely ventured into Harry Knowles’ clammy nerd thunderdome yesterday and spilled a major amount of beans on the new mutant film. Suffice it to say, it’s not just the casting of January Jones that’s giving First Class a Mad Men -vibe.

Nicholas Hoult to Play Beast in X-Men: First Class

Need further proof that it you want to appear in X-Men: First Class you better be a Movieline Verge alum? According to reports, Nicholas Hoult has been cast to play Beast in the Matthew Vaughn directed X-Men prequel scheduled to hit theaters next summer. Hoult — who has most recently appeared in A Single Man and Clash of the Titans — would join fellow Verge grads Alice Eve , new father Aaron Johnson and Michael Fassbender in the cast. James McAvoy is there, too, but he technically wasn’t a Verge-r , so whatever. Luke Evans , you’re on the clock. [ Deadline ]

Michael Fassbender Head of the Class?

It looks like Michael Fassbender’s supervillain Sophie’s Choice might be easier than expected . While he’s still presumably on the shortlist to play the villain in Sony’s Spider-Man reboot, the German actor has been officially offered the role of Magneto in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class over at Twentieth Century Fox. If he accepts, Fassbender — next seen slicing throats in Centurion — would star alongside the previously announced James McAvoy, who plays Professor X in the film scheduled for release next summer. Marvel fatigue or not, that does sound pretty OK, right? [ Deadline ]

The Verge: Imogen Poots

There’s a bit of cognitive dissonance that happens when you watch Imogen Poots in Solitary Man : she’s utterly convincing as a confident Manhattan teenager who sexually entangles herself with the boyfriend (Michael Douglas) of her wealthy mother (Mary-Louise Parker), but with a name like “Imogen Poots,” there’s no way she’s actually American. In fact, the 20-year-old Poots is British and, until now, best known for playing one of the young leads in 28 Weeks Later . That should change after the one-two-three punch Poots has coming in Solitary Man , the Cannes drama Chatroom , and the Cary Fukunaga-directed Jane Eyre , where she plays rival to Mia Wasikowska. As Solitary Man sees release this week, Poots called up Movieline to discuss the sitcom that helped her with an American accent, the perils of technology, and the pleasures of working twice opposite Michael Fassbender.
