Can Director Bryan Singer take one of the greatest X-Men storylines and translate it to the big screen? X-Men from past and future must work together to prevent a dark future in which mutants are hunted by those relentless robots, the Sentinels. Singer talked in the upcoming issue of Empire magazine about X-Men: Days of Future Past.
“It’s epic. I don’t think people realise how big this movie’s going to be. We get to bring both casts together.”
The fan favorite story by Chris Claremont and John Byrne involves elements of time travel and attempts to change the future. How will that translate?
“We’ve cracked it in a way that it makes sense. I had a two-hour conversation with James Cameron about time travel, string theory, multiverses and all that. You have to create your rules and stick with them. That’s why Terminator and Back To The Future work so well. And there are certain mechanisms in X-Men, certain powers, perceptions and characters, that make this possible.”
“It has a lot of aspects of the comic. The actual comic of Days Of Future Past had a whole ton of stuff going on, so it’s like any of these things; you have to distill it. But I think the fans will be pleased that some of the most exciting parts of Days Of Future Past are going to be connected to this movie.”

Singer revealed via Twitter over the weekend that Ellen Page, Anna Paquin and Shawn Ashmore will reprise their roles as Kitty Pryde, Rogue and Iceman.
