Anna Paquin cut from X-Men: Days of Future Past

It seems as though Bryan Singer pulled what Sony did to Shailene Woodley with The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Anna Paquin, who played Rogue in X-Men, returned for a cameo in X-Men: Days of Future Past along with many other former X-Men cast members. However, we learned that Paquin's only scene in the upcoming film has reached the cutting room floor. We will have to wait for the special features to see what role Rogue played in Days of Future Past.

Paquin's scene was filmed very early in production and the rescue scene cut from the final edit also featured Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and Shawn Ashmore. Singer emphasized that cutting the scene had nothing to do with performance quality, but due to the fact that he felt the scene became too long. Nothing but a tough break.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is set for release on May 27, 2014.

Trick 'r Treat 2 announced at fan screening

Trick 'r Treat has built up a cult fanbase ever since it first screened back in 2007. The Michael Dougherty film, featured by Bryan Singer, has been screened at numerous horror festivals and conventions including Fangoria, Fantasia Film Festival, and Fantastic Fest. The film got a limited release in 2009 and even after all this time the fanbase has managed to pretty much keep the film along with its twists a secret.

We now have had an announcement brought via a fan screening of the film that there is a sequel in the works. There are no details beyond the initial announcement, but this is very good news not only for Trick 'r Treat fans but for the horror genre. You can watch the Q&A announcement here.

For those of you who have never seen Trick 'r Treat, it is basically a loosely tied together horror anthology that all have a dark twist to them. I personally love Trick 'r Treat and it still makes me a bit disappointed that more people haven't seen it. I am definitely excited and looking forward to this sequel.

And as a little bonus, here is a Sam cosplay I saw at a horror convention in Dallas in 2011.

Anna Paquin joins X-Men: Days of Future Past; Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore also on board

Director Bryan Singer confirmed via Twitter some more casting news regarding X-Men: Days of Future Past. We already have Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellan, and Patrick Stewart returning for cameos, but we now have Anna Paquin (Rogue), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat), and Shawn Ashmore (Bobby Drake/Iceman) on board for the First Class sequel.
If you remember the previous X-Men movies, or the comics, Rogue and Bobby developed a relationship despite physical contact being a huge problem due to Rogue's mutation. The reason Pryde is returning is the simple fact that she has a pretty important part in the Days of Future Past storyline so it's kind of a given that she is returning.

Other returning cast members (so far) include Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult. X-Men: Days of Future Past is set for a July 18, 2014 release.

More original X-Men actors approached to reprise roles

Seeing that the upcoming film X-Men: Days of Future Past has a time travel element it has been confirmed that we will see various versions of the characters. In fact, it has been confirmed that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan will be back once again for an X-Men film and that Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to return as well. It is now being reported that other actors from the previous X-Men films are being sought after to reprise their roles in one way, shape, or form. There is no report saying which characters director Bryan Singer is trying to bring back but the rumor mill (already) is mentioning Halle Berry (Storm) and James Marsden (Cyclops). Collider says that a lot of the actors from previous X-Men films have offered due to them being fond of Singer.

Personally, I would love to see an Anna Paquin cameo because I have always liked Rogue, but we will have to wait and see how this one plays out. I can only assume another one who will return for some sort of cameo, once again, is Rebecca Romijn as Mystique. She had a very brief cameo in X-Men: First Class and played Mystique in X-Men, X-2, and X-Men: The Last Stand so I can't see that happening any other way.

True Blood to return for 6th season

True Blood Season 5 trailers begin

The first trailer for season 5 of True Blood has surfaced. I must say that it looks a hell of a lot better than last season. At least it better be. I was tempted to quit watching after having two shitty seasons in a row.
