The Talent: Matthew Vaughn (director), James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, January Jones.
The Pitch: Prequel alert! This is the early days of the X-Men, when bezza mates Charles Xavier (McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Fassbender) gathered together the mutants to share the love. Something tells us it doesn't work out like that.
The Hook: After the critically derided The Last Stand, and the toothless Wolverine, a lot's riding on the fifth X-Men film to restore some honour. Which is presumably why original director-turned-producer Bryan Singer has assembled such a crack squad to have a go at besting his own crew.
Defining Feature: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby always said the X-Men paralleled the story of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. This period piece mutation lets us see how close that inspiration really is.
Seriously, The Green Lantern is in TF's "The 49 Films That Will Define 2011"??
Wasn't it only last week when the rubbish trailer came out even TF said it looked bad?
