Special for those of you who are uber-excited for the release of "X-Men: First Class"!

Jennifer Lawrence is all-unrecognizeable in her Mystique look, then Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy giving a very cool stare, and finally January Jones has her hair big as Emma Frost.

Andrew Garfield, James McAvoy, Robert Pattinson, Garrett Hedlund, Chris Pine, Michael Fassbender -- all wanted for "Akira"

After adapting "Book of Eli" to the big screen, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are currently developing to make movie version of Katsuhiro Otomo's 6 volume graphic novel "Akira". Albert Hughes has been appointed to direct it, while Steve Kloves (who wrote ALL of "Harry Potter" movie franchise and currently "The Amazing Spider-Man") writes the screenplay. Now thanks to Deadline, the list of actors that are 'wanted' to star in the movie version is revealed.

There are two main characters based on the graphic novel: Tetsuo and Kaneda. For the Tetsuo role, studio has given the script to the British talents Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield, and James McAvoy; while for Kaneda, the script has been sent to Garret Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake, and Joaquin Phoenix. The story takes place in New Manhattan where a leader of a biker gang saves his friend from a medical experiment. Seems like the two leading characters will be likely played by an actor from each group. Hmmm, it's interesting!

So, since I haven't even read the graphic novel, I think I'm a bit biased on this. Of course I'm going to support Garfield or McAvoy for Tetsuo, and Hedlund or Pine for Kaneda. Steve Kloves has been working with Garfield for "The Amazing Spider-Man", so I think his involvement is somewhat beneficial for Garfield. But if the studio had to choose based on each actor's fame to 'blow up' the buzz of this adaptation, then maybe they'll take Pattinson and Timberlake more for consideration.

Russian trailer of "X-Men: First Class" reveals some new footages!

Still curious about what's "X-Men: First Class" all about? Well, maybe this Russian version of the first trailer will pretty much answer the question. This is indeed a prequel, since it shows the young Erik Lensherr aka Magneto (Michael Fassbender)'s history when he was apart from his parents briefly. We can also watch Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones) screams his power, Beast (Nicholas Hoult) tries to fly the X-Jet, and Havok (Lucas Till) with Professor X (James McAvoy) surrounded by fire. The music also differs from the original one, it's rather more epic. Watch it below!!

New "X-Men: First Class" posters

At the end of February, here's a couple cool 'bonus' for all of you: the new "X-Men: First Class" posters with James McAvoy as Charles Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Erik Lensherr on it!





"X-Men: First Class" also starring Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Lucas Till as Havok, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Zoe Kravitz as Angel Salvadore, and Jason Flemying as Azazel.

For those who think that this movie will be based on "X-Men: First Class" comic books, well, I have to say that it is not. Matthew Vaughn, the director, and Bryan Singer, the producer, said that they took the "First Class" title because it suits the plot, but not because it's based on the comic books.

They want to bring the real origins of X-Men, right when Charles and Erik were still friends and how they got themselves apart and change name into Professor X and Magneto. It is set in 1960s, way before the "X-Men: First Class" comics take part. That's why they won't include Scott Summers (Cyclops), Jean Grey (Marvel Girl), Angel, and Bobby Drake (Iceman).

I'm a huge X-Men fan, and I just can't wait to see this movie! It opens worldwide in June 3, but not in 3D. Click here for those who haven't seen the amazing trailer!

The movie has received its official release date, on June 8, 2012. I must admit when I was little, I never get bored of watching the "Alien" movies—I don't even know why. Maybe this was the beginning of why I love science fiction movies!
