July 23rd 2000: CHUD recently attended a Q&A panel in San Diego, where Bryan Singer said he thought there was only about 20 minutes of footage cut from the film, not the reported 45. Read more about this here.

July 20th 2000: Click here to read an 'X-Men II' article over at USA Today.

July 18th 2000: Read our "X-Men" review right here.   Also, DVDfile.com has added an interview with Bryan Singer where he talks a little about the DVD and his views on commentary tracks (I for one really liked the "Usual Suspects" one).

July 16th 2000: "X-Men" grossed an estimated $57.5 million at the Box Office this weekend. Also, over at Mr. Showbiz, Fox's Tom Sherak talked about (and confirmed) the sequel.

"[X-Men's opening] bodes well for a sequel," says Sherak, who's happy to report that yes, there will be a sequel. While Bryan Singer doesn't have a deal in place yet, cast members (including Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman) have signed for the inevitable follow-ups.

"It's just a question of when we can get [a sequel] out," he says. "We have lots more [X-Men] characters to introduce," he concluded, something that will please X-Men fans who missed mutant favorites like Beast and Gambit.

July 15th 2000: According to ShowBIZ Data, "X-Men" grossed $21.38 mill (!) this Friday.

July 14th 2000: Visit Rotten Tomatoes' "X-Men" site right here (so far the film has gotten 40 fresh, and 7 rotten tomatoes).

X-Men - Film Review (Positive)

So much news...first, www.stanlee.net has the new X Men commercial on the site for download. [SPOILER] Cyclops answering Wolverine's complaint about the costumes with "What would you prefer, yellow spandex?" makes this worth the watch. [/SPOILER]

Second, James Marsden kicked it at the Stan Lee studios and there are a couple of great videos on stanlee.net for all the Marsden/Cyclops/X Men fans.

Third, rumors, rumors...The press junket was postponed because the original date was on the 4th of July weekend--even Fox can't compete with our nation's birthday. As far as the mysterious secret screening, sorry, no such thing. I'm Stan's --deleted-- on the movie, and I've watched the movie's progress with a cynical eye...and its right on track and damn good. Bryan's a perfectionist, and the few people who have seen an early edit some weeks ago loved it WITHOUT ALL THE SPECIAL EFFECTS OR THE SCORE, including myself, and that means the final is going to rock. That's all for now!

June 15th 2000: Yesterday, Mr. Showbiz reported that Fox has cancelled its press junket for "X-Men." Shortly after, Coming Soon! heard from a source that there's already been a test screening somewhere in the US, and reportedly the audience hated the film. That was apparently the reason for the cancellation of the press junkets. Read official answers and speculations regarding this over at IGN FilmForce and X-Fan. Thanks to 'Mirko' and 'Eric.'

Follow-Up: Coming Soon! has gotten the final word from Fox on the press junkets and the alleged test screening. Read it right here.

June 14th 2000: Added a link (above) for the new "X-Men" TV commercial, with thanks to Eric.

June 12th 2000: The second advance poster (with the tagline "Trust a few. Fear the rest"). Also, CHUD has picked up a copy of the "X-Men" novelization, click below to read their optional-spoiler review:
