Jennifer Lawrence returns for X-Men, Bryan Singer to direct...

Vaughn backed away from the project earlier this month, but will still receive a producer credit. Singer, who produced First Class, will now be calling the shots Days Of Future Past, which presumably means he’ll be directing two films in a row starring Nicholas Hoult – the lead in Jack The Giant Slayer (due for release in March next year) and the Beast/Hank McCoy in the X-Men prequels (although his return isn’t 100% confirmed yet).

Singer directed the first two X-Men films before he swapped his comics allegiance and tried to reboot the big screen Superman franchise with Superman Returns.

Days Of Future Past, which is currently scheduled for a July 2014 release, will see the return of Michael Fassbender as Magneto, James McAvoy as Professor X and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. The plot is partly based on the storyline from Uncanny X-Men issues 141-142 from 1982 (which also inspired the the season one episode of Heroes set in the future) in which the X-Men have to prevent a nightmare future in which mutants are hunted by Sentinels.

Haywire - AFI Secret Screening Nov 2011

Today is the release of 'Haywire' in theatres. I have to say, it is a film you don't want to miss! It is action-packed and brings Gina Carano, MMA superstar, to the big screen. With some sexy Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender, it's a movie you have to see in theatres!

I was lucky enough to attend a secret screening of the movie back in November at the AFI Fest in L.A. at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Besides seeing some awesome red carpet arrivals, we got to see the movie with the director and cast, then do a Q&A with them hosted by Joel McHale, after the film.

Here are some photos from that night:

I had posted some of these back in November tagged, I trust that posting these untagged, people will stil link back to this page with credit to me as photographer. Thanks.

And go see Haywire - it's bad ass! Go Gina!

More from L.A. - Wrapping up Convention, Hollywood and more

Last night was the "Wedding Reception" where Booboo, Charlie, Mia, Christian and Tinsel came to hang out with fans.

Once again Booboo and Tinsel showed their committment to fans staying quite late. Mia disappeared early on again and Christian stayed quite a while chatting with fans.

I had a great conversation with Christian Camargo, I totally love him! We chatted about Whistler, Vancouver, Olympic Village, Dexter.... gah!!! I also got a photo with him - totally amazeballs!

I also chatted with Charlie about Vancouver and skiing. Then this morning was the breakfast, a lot different than usual. Charlie had to catch his flight so he did a quick autograph and no table circulation.

Alex, Christian and Daniel, however, did the rounds at the tables and then autographs.

Daniel was sweet as ever, we chatted about bars in Vancouver and how he was wearing a poppy to represent Canada.

Alex was cute and cocky as always, but super sweet. We talked about Vancouver, in particular Coquitlam where Jacob's house is (for the films) I told him some history on that land/area and he shared some fun filming stories.

Christian bumped his leg on our table when he went to sit down. We had a brief chat, I stayed mostly quiet because I had chatted with him for so long last night, but a friend at the table said to him that I was a huge Dexter fan, and he said he knew and reminded me what he had said the night before... Stay tuned for more ice truck killer on dexter... *squee*

After autograpsh (I got a double of Daniel because one was for my roomie Juaan who sadly had to leave to catch her flight) I met with new roomie Lisa and we took a cab to our new hotel... it sure isn't the Hyatt ha ha  ! Then our other roomie Dez joined and we went to Hollywood for the Marilyn Monroe movie premier red carpet. We missed Emma Watson but saw Michelle Williams (barely)

Right after was the BUTTER premier at the AFI Festival and we saw some more celebs as well as some convention friends. Here are the red carpet photos for Butter featuring Jennifer Garner and Olivia Wilde....

It was awesome because we called for Jenn and she waved to us mid-interview... Olivia Wilde arrived quite late and did the carpet very quickly. Ashley Greene, Hugh Jackman, Alicia Silverstone among other cast were not seen by us. Not sure they attended.

Then we went to eat at Hooters and used our 4square check-in to get free appies - score!

Then we went to the AFI people and won tickets to the advanced screening of Haywire.

I am, as many know, a MASSIVE Channing Tatum fan, sadly he wasn't there because he is filming, but after the awesome movie there was a Q & A hosted my Joel McHale with director Steven Soderbergh, and actors Ewan McGregor, Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender.



How incredible!

We got photos with Gina after (I used to watch her on Gladiators)

After that we tried the Metro and found it super fast to get to our hotel - SCORE!

Now it is ZZzzzzz time as tomorrow is another long day with Jimmy Kimmel to see Taylor Lautner as well as the Immortals Premier (no I amnot doing both, the cloning experiement failed unfortunately)

Wish you were all here - Having a blast!
