I see that Neowin is full of great filmmakers.

Maybe just observant film fans.

1) trailer music often is not what's used in the film. Example is the Watchmen trailer that used a Smashing Pumpkins remix.

2) speaking as someone who has edited video as a sideline and betatested software for doing same, the edit was a tad rough. Since it was probably an early cut rushed to a comic show this isn't too unusual, but it could/should have been better.

My $0.02.

It's nice to see Magneto's new suit from the past! Looks pretty darn epic.

It was exactly that, a trailer for a con to show what they're working on. Of course it could've been better, but it's a 1st trailer so I don't think it really matters all that much. It just seems like there are usually people in these threads acting like they're better at writing/making films and whatnot. But it's easy to say these things when you're on the sidelines. I bet there are tons of reasons to why there's not a different trailer than the trailer from the con yet.

As extras with suitably big hair glide past, the camera tracks with Raven, on her way to catch a flight. Out of the blue passengers start talking to her, warning her, dissuading her from her intention. She ignores them, rounds a corner and standing in front of her is Charles Xavier.

 

Ten years have elapsed since the events of the previous movie, a decade in which Charles has disbanded the X-Men and let his school for gifted youngsters go to seed.

 

Charles - or an astral projection of Charles, hence the absence of a wheelchair - pleads with Raven not to leave him once more. At one point McAvoy throws in the line, "We have to show them we're not all like Erik." But Charles' remonstrations have no effect; Raven will not be swayed. The scene ends with a distraught Xavier promising, "Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will find you, Raven. If I have to, I will stop you."

After watching that video, I have to say I'm really disappointed. I didn't realize it was Wolverine going back in time. He's already got his own stand alone movies, and now he's going to be main character in this one too? /sigh

 

Has SInger been asked why he is butchering the real "days of future past" story? It's supposed to be Kitty that goes back in time, and there is a very real, logical (within the X-men universe) reason why she is the only one that can. And in doing so, it explains the evolution of Sprite, who then is Shadow Cat, then Kitty Pride Agent of SHIELD, and then Professor K.

The comic book story line covers the 1980s and 2013. This movie will take place in the 70s (mainly 1973) and 2023. I don't think that version of Shadowcat was born in the 70s. And even if she was, she'd be too young to be taken seriously. It looks like future Wolverine's mind in past Wolverine's body will have trouble convincing Xavier in the 70s.

 

According to the viral site, the first sentinel (Mark I) was made in 1973 and the 50-year anniversary takes place in 2023 with the Mark X model. I'm guessing the Mark X is the model that can hunt down mutants because of its ability to detect the mutant X gene.

Not uncommon...  I am floored though that this is the second most expensive movie Fox has made...  That is just amazing.  I hope that will translate into something tuly phenomenal...

According to IMDB "Budget: $250,000,000 (estimated)" :|

 

Hmm,  That's a bit more than the norm for something like this but not too crazy high I'd say.  Normally these comic book movies are in the $150-$200m range from what I've seen.

This just got posted as 3 separate photos on Instagram:

With these quotes:

 

"A different man."

"A different time."

"A darker path."

 

Basically quoted from the trailer. The image looks proper awesome though!

    • What should AI detector tools show before users copy or export a report?

      By sumytbe · Posted

      I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
