The first images of Mad Men’s January Jones as Emma Frost in the upcoming X-Men: First Class have popped up online over at INF Daily. The images show behind-the-scenes shots of Jones, her stunt double, and various crew. The look here is fine, but really, I just need to know up front the relative lace quotient to be expected to get a proper sense of the film.
The synopsis, via The Film Stage: Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and
Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first
time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends,
working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop
the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift
between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s
Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-MEN.
X-Men: First Class is directed by Matthew Vaughn and stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Caleb Landry Jones, Lucas Till, Edi Gathegi, Jason Flemyng, Oliver Platt, Morgan Lily, Zoe Kravitz, Bill Bilner and Kevin Bacon. It premieres on June 3, 2011.

This, or GTFO: http://elaltillodelilustrador.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/greg_horn_emma_frost_v.jpg
this looks fucking idiotic. looks like some shit from Austin Powers.
That's like saying "Unforgiven" looks like some shit from "Blazing Saddles" just because they're set in the same time period. Jesus christ. Did you get your PHD from Troll University?
Looks like live action Incredibles. Superheroes in a James Bondish sixties setting by Vaughn and his crew, this should be spectacular fun. If Fox doesnt fox it up again.
Why is she dressed like a q-tip?
She could be my Man-pon any day.
WTF? What happened to Alice Eve as Frost? When did this bony old slut get cast as the white queen? This film's got fail written all over it. I'm sure they'll figure out some way to CGI Hugh Jackman into this PoS.
I can't believe that this movie is coming out in only 9 months. Didn't it start production like two weeks ago? Given such a rushed schedule, it's conceivable (though unlikely) that the acting, direction, and script might be just fine–but what are the chances that the CGI is going to be anything other than pureed ass?
I'm keeping my mouth shut. When Singer was making the first X-Men film I was all, "Hugh Jackman is a 6'2" Australian song-and-dance man! The uniforms look like leather-boy ass! This is going to suck!" Then it didn't suck. I can only hope that Emma Frost is the brilliant, tony, fetishy British woman Grant Morrison reinvented her to be.
Makes sense, she's been playing ice queen bitch of the universe for four years already.
When Rattner was making X3 I was all, "This is a cinematic abortion that trashes the comic and invalidates the first two movies, rendering them and any future X-movies in this continuity pointless and unwatchable!". Then it was.
Hahaha what is this The Return Of Austen Powers? About turn. Major suckage ahead.
