In ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ JLaw’s Mystique Will Wear a Body Suit

jennifer-lawrence-mystique-e1346355368817

Oscar winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence, has suffered for her craft, and no more so than when she endured the hours of make-up and prosthetics over her entire body to play the blue-skinned, shape shifting mutant, Mystique. She had such severe reactions to the make-up a doctor had to be called to set to treat her.

So for X-Men: Days of Future Past another way a turning JLaw blue is being used, a body suit. Speaking with E!, Lawrence shared her wildly hectic schedule, for example, the day after The Oscars she had to have her hair dyed back to Katniss brunette because she was flying to Hawaii for two weeks of Catching Fire re-shoots, and talked a little X-Men,

I’m so excited because I’m going to wear a body suit. It will be from neck down so it will cut out time and the blisters.

Shooting begins “May-ish.” I haven’t read the script yet. I haven’t had 30 minutes. They literally gave me the script and I was like, ‘I can’t read this until Monday.’

Oh right, because she’s also squeezing in another film with Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russel and co-star Bradley Cooper before she heads off to shoot X-Men. Man, this girl is crazy busy!

But what do you think of them switching to a body suit over body paint? I’m okay with it as long as it looks good, which I’m sure it will. Otherwise they wouldn’t have made the change. These people aren’t stupid, they’d have made her suffer again, like poor John Rhys-Davies in LOTR, if it was the only way to turn her into a convincing Mystique.

10 Mothers You Don’t Mess With

Mother’s day is fast approaching . . . it’s this Sunday dude . . . that’s tomorrow. If you haven’t planned and taken care of your Mother’s Day Duties: cards, flowers, candies, breakfast in bed, dinner out, then you had better get on the ball and get it done.

So let’s take a look at some of Nerdom’s moms that you wouldn’t want to mess with for one reason or another.

Mama Fratelli – The Goonies

The best way to sum up this NerdBastards feelings towards Mama Fratelli is to say that she be happy to drive you around house to house to trick or treat on Halloween, then take your bag of candy when you got home. Favorite Mama Fratelli quote:

Mouth: Is this supposed to be water?
Mama Fratelli: It’s wet, ain’t it? Drink it!

 

Flemeth – Dragon Age

Voiced by: Kate Mulgrew

Flemeth is the legendary “Witch of the Wilds.” Why is she on the list? Well, how about conceiving and raising her daughter only so Flemeth could invade and take over her daughter’s body, destroying Morrigan’s soul and living forever or at least until she needed another replacement body. That’s some hardcore motherly love.

 

Mom – Futurama

Mom owns and manages 99.7% of MomCorp, a large, multi-billion dollar industrial complex with numerous subsidiaries and a monopoly on robot production. Publicly, she retains the image of a sweet, bustling old woman who often slips into the stereotype of a hapless grandmother (she wears antiquated clothes that greatly accentuate her bust and general figure, while using rustic metaphors such as “squeaking like an old screen door”). Behind the scenes, however, she is malevolent, foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, cold-hearted, and narcissistic. She routinely abuses her sons and others, verbally and physically, like the minions she sees them to be.

 

Mystique – Marvel Comics X-men

Abandon one child to a band of traveling circus gypsies while raising another foster child to be a super villain destroying your enemies. This chick is mother Teresa material. Sure she can look like anyone at any time . . . except on Mother’s day when she is no where to be found.

 

Alien Queen – Aliens

The mother of all space monster mothers. She is one mother you don’t want mess with or threaten her offspring. She will gut you faster than an Ahi-tuna sushi chef. Ripley said it best:

“You know, Burke, I don’t know which species is worse. You don’t see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage.”

 

Shaft – Shaft 

He’s a bad mutha . . .

SHUT YO MOUTH ! ! !

I’m just talkin bout Shaft.

 

Cersi “Lannister” Baratheon – Game of Thrones

If a mother can be judged by the quality of her children then Cersi has a lot of explaining to do. She tells her child that everyone is an enemy and no one can deny him anything. How can she be surprised when that child turns into the most hated character in the whole George R.R. Martin series. The only character in the whole series seen trying to teach Joffery something is his uncle Tyrion, by then it’s way too late.

Tyrion: “You love your children. It’s your one redeeming quality; that and your cheekbones.”

 

Lori Grimes - The Walking Dead

Where’s Carl, Lori?

WHERE THE FRACK IS CARL?!?!?!

I’ll tell ya . . .

HE”S POKING A ZOMBIE WITH A STICK IN THE WOODS BY HIMSELF!!!

If I had a nickel for every time Lori had no idea where her child Carl was I could afford that Riot Shotgun I have my eye on for Zombie protection. Once the zombie apocalypse starts I think that knowing where your children are at all times would pretty much top a Mother’s List of Duties. Wait, she can’t be that bad. When she learned that her husband was not back from town yet she jumped into a car and drove after him (WHERE”S CARL LORI?!?!). Of course she did manage to crash the car when she was the ONLY CAR IN OPERATION ON THE ROADS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA AT THE TIME. This NerdBastard has taken Lori off the carpool list.

 

Sarah Conner – Terminator Franchise 

When Sarah Conner finds out her child will one day save mankind from the robot apocalypse she doesn’t curl up into a ball and wait for the end. She steps up, buffs up, and arms up. She’s willing to do what ever it takes to keep her son (and Mankind) safe, she is willing to take a bullet, grenade, or sliver metal Terminator finger blade to keep John safe. Get in her way and you will soon realize your mistake.

 

Daenerys Targaryen – Game of Thrones

“I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine, with fire and blood.”

She is the mother of dragons. She will eat the bloody hearts of her enemies to protect her children, or at least some bloody horse heart. It’s hard to say much more without throwing spoilers out there so this NerdBastard is gonna just leave it there.

Rejoice, Nerds! Jennifer Lawrence Can Still be Both Mystique & Katniss! ‘X-Men: First Class’ Sequel to Shoot in January

A few weeks ago we reported on a major schedule conflict that might arise and force Jennifer Lawrence to choose whether she wanted to return as mutant shape-shifter, Mystique, or Hunger Game’s champion, Katniss. Okay, she wouldn’t have had much of choice, it would have been more like Fox calling on their contractual rights for her to play Mystique whether she was finished filming The Hunger Game‘s sequel, Catching Fire or not. But thankfully, through the magic of Hollywood diplomacy and maybe a few backdoor, seedy deals, the shooting schedules for Catching Fire and the sequel to X-Men: First Class have been arranged in a way allowing Lawrence to shoot both. She won’t have much of life outside these two films for the next 10 months, but she’ll be returning as both Mystique and Katniss.

The Hollywood Reporter‘s sources say, “Fox is informing talent agencies Thursday that the studio plans to begin shooting its in-development sequel to X-Men: First Class in January.”

This is obviously great news for both franchises. For one, could you imagine Catching Fire without Lawrence in the lead? Inconceivable! And two, you know Fox is hoping to profit greatly from her new stardom. Can’t you just imagine Fox seeing that outstanding opening weekend gross for The Hunger Games roll in at Lionsgate, their mouths watering. I can almost guarantee we’ll see Mystique’s role in a First Class sequel expanded on. We already know the sequel has Matthew Vaugh back as director and will be focused on Michael Fassbender‘s Magneto, will we see something more developing between Mystique and Magneto? A fangirl can dream.

But what about Catching Fire? After all, it’s shooting first beginning in August or September. Well, unfortunately everything seems to be hanging on whether or not Gary Ross will come back as director, with no agreement yet but hopefully soon.

So, in conclusion, hooray! I’ve had one of my wishes fulfilled. Gasp! Does this mean I have only two remaining!?!! Must choose wisely.

Could ‘The Hunger Games’ Sequel Keep Jennifer Lawrence From Reprising Mystique in a ‘First Class’ Sequel?

Ms. Lawrence seems to be Hollywood’s hottest actress right now and the film that will be her star-making role hasn’t even released yet! While The Hunger Games won’t release until next week, March 24th, plans for a sequel are already being set in motion with filming to begin this summer. X-Men: First Class, in which Jennifer Lawrence portrayed Mystique, also has sequel plans and they’re hoping to begin filming this fall. The problem? Shooting for The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, will likely continue into the fall conflicting with the start of filming for First Class‘ sequel. What is Hollywood’s hottest actress to do!?

Chances are it won’t be her decision, it’ll be the studios and Fox and Lionsgate are already preparing for war. Insiders, whoever the hell they are, have said the studios, “are poised to face-off over the 21- year-old’s schedule as they move ahead with sequels in their respective franchises.” It’s also been noted that Fox’s option, for whatever reason, will trump Lionsgate. Meaning, when they want their Mystique they get their Mystique, whether she’s done being Katniss or not.

The Catching Fire film already has a planned release date of November 2013 while First Class‘ sequel’s schedule is more up in the air. We’ve already heard First Class‘ sequel will focus heavily on Magneto, but with Lawrence’s stardom poised to explode I wouldn’t be surprised if Mystique’s role was increased as well. Especially with the hints of a Magneto/Mystique relationship dropped heavily throughout First Class and the previous X-Men films.

A rep for Lawrence said, “[Both studios]are trying to make accommodations,” but if they can’t strike a deal shit’s gonna get messy.

If it comes down to it, which role would you rather see Lawrence reprise, Katniss or Mystique? I want her to do both, dammit! And I DEMAND a resolution be made or I won’t see either of your stupid movies. You hear me Fox and Lionsgate!?! Get your shit together and let us have Lawrence as both Katniss and Mystique. You’ll both benefit in the long run, believe me.

Top 10 Female Comic Book Characters’ Asses (NSFW)

This week, we’ll be looking at the top 10 female comic book characters’ asses. Obviously, how nice the ass is depends on the artist drawing it… and they’re all going to be perfect — so, technically, this is a list of the top 10 chubby-inducing female comic book characters with lots of (often fan-made) asstastic pictures. But, hey, let’s roll with it!

The mutant shapeshifter from the X-Men Universe definitely makes the list, especially considering that she essentially has full reign over the physical appearance of her body parts, which I’m sure could come in handy. ;)

Top Ten Superhero Movie Goons

Whenever we watch a movie with a superhero, the first thing we see is the villain and his second in command (aka Head Goon). They can come in any form, with any power, and have a motivation that is similar but slightly different from the person they follow. They are armed with crazy bodily abilities, wit, and weapons that are used so fluidly they could be seen as an equal caliber of danger compared to those they serve. Every villain has one, and at times when the boss fails these goons can carry on the torch of vengeance, or die an epic, but slightly drawn out death. So let’s step through the evil hierarchy looking glass and see the top goons in Superhero Movie lore…

Haven’t Seen Enough of ‘X-Men: First Class’, Yet? More New Clips Released

The people behind the marketing for X-Men: First Class have been bombarding us with so many clips, sneak peaks, and characters trailers you’d think they’d have shown us the whole movie by now. Today we’ve got another batch of clips but one in particular will a be a treat. It’s our first good look at Emma Frost giving us her best icy, scary bitch.

Frightening? Yep, she’s a heartless sex-bomb who can read your mind and turn into near-indestructible diamond. You better run.

The other new clips are Magneto holding back a barrage of missiles, a little Magneto and Mystique scene, Sebastian Shaw‘s attack on the academy and Havoc and Banshee learning to control their powers. Check ‘em out below the cut. I don’t think I need to remind you, but head’s up, some of these clips could be spoilery.

X-Men: First Class opens June 3rd.

X-Men: First Class: It Now Has Mystique & (Kevin) Bacon

jennifer-lawrence-bacon

As pictured above, Matthew Vaughn’s (Kick-Ass, Stardust) X-Men: First Class just got more tits and “meat” to the film. It seems that the sexy (and this time younger) Mystique will be played by Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone, The Burning Plain). That’s right, the daughter from The Bill Engvall Show will be showing her blue side in 2011.

Also, last week, it was reported that Kevin Bacon was in talks to be casted as the main villain of the film. It’s now confirmed that he is officially signed on to the project but as to who he will be playing as, is unknown. At the moment, Mr. Sinister seems to be the popular internet idea as the villain that Bacon might portray as for the film.

With an already great cast of folks for the film and with Comic-Con just around the corner, I wonder how more announcements will FOX have for us. What do ya’ll think? Are ya happy with this round of casting announcement or ya still not interested at all? Also, who do you want Kevin Bacon to be cast as for the film? Tell us by leaving a comment after the jump.
