Back in September, the trailer for Justice revealed to us a world in which Nicolas Cage accidentally becomes embroiled in some sort of Guy Pearce-managed vigilante business scheme: someone will murder an unpunished criminal who wronged you (you being Nic Cage), but in a surprise exchange, you will later be called upon to return the favor and murder someone else's unpunished criminal. The lesson? Vengeful murder has a cost, and it turns out that cost is vengeful murder, Nicolas Cage.
Well, Justice now has a new name: Seeking Justice, a title the film had already been going by before being renamed Justice and after being called The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. Why they won't just tuck in with the more descriptive Murder it Foward, Starring Nicolas Cage is beyond me, but whatever. In lieu of the change and the imminent March release, here's the film's new poster and trailer.

Just last month, Joel Schumacher's Trespass revealed its bounty of C-grade Nicolas Cage-protects-his-family action, but already another contender has emerged to quite possibly swipe away that film's Best of Breed title: Justice. While no more boring or convoluted than its Schumacher counterpart, the Roger Donaldson-directed Justice (also known as Seeking Justice and The Hungry Rabbit Jumps) is admirable in the effort it puts forth just to spin around a few times and settle down into mediocrity. I mean, Nicolas Cage shares the screen with January Jones in this. That's the acting equivalent of putting on a kettle of water and mixing it with ice cubes just to get a nice lukewarm drink. Guy Pearce--who, for reasons not entirely clear, is dressed up as Justin Timberlake in In Time--co-stars, playing a man who runs some kind of vigilante pyramid scheme, because that's as logical an impetus as any to get Nicolas Cage to run around freaking out. Also: as you could probably tell from the above production photo, Cage puts on a funny mask and looks silly. Truly history's most just moment.

If you thought January Jones's push-up bra and miniskirt still seemed too much like actual clothes for anyone's good, then how about these new photos of the actress in her other X-Men: First Class costumes? Like the costume that is actual lingerie she walks around in. This movie is going to make my JCPenney circular collection look like a joke.
Looks like the computer chips working on finishing up the X-Men: First Class graphics got a lot done over the weekend, and all their diligent processing has been assembled into a new trailer for the film. Stuffed with noticeably more effects shots than previous trailers, it does do a pretty good job at filling in some of the holes between straining, "look how hard I'm doing/reacting to something that will later be filled in with CGI" faces, but it's still probably not different enough to win over anyone who wasn't convinced by the earlier previews. Unless you really want to see a climactic battle between mutantkind and missilekind, that is, because it sure looks like this X-Men team is going to mess up some missiles proper.

There's a new international trailer for X-Men: First Class and, like the last international trailer for the film, it might be worthwhile if you're interested in a few previously-unseen moving images of this film. We need something to form a premature opinion about, right?

While most of print media continues its slumped-shouldered shuffle into oblivion, Total Film has come up with a way to sell a few more issues this month with the time-honored tradition of releasing several stylish covers at once, forcing the devoted to buy multiple copies of the same issue just to begrudgingly gather a complete set.
Under the cut, see the other two similarly-retro X-Men: First Class tribute covers, both honing in on the film's '60s setting and one also reminding that January Jones often does not wear anything resembling real clothes in this movie.

Bad news, non-Russian-speakers: while your lack of language proficiency makes you less likely to be suspected as a communist spy, you will not be able to understand this new trailer for X-Men: First Class. The good news, though, is you can still watch it for all the new footage. Wait until you see how dopey Banshee looks when he screams!

From Empire, here's a new look at White Queen (January Jones) and Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) in X-Men: First Class's Hellfire Club: proof that, once you strip the icicles off, Joel Schumacher's Mr. Freeze sets can be used for pretty much any superhero movie.
Thanks to /Film, AICN, and the LA Times, we now have so many X-Mens to look at. Magneto wears his signature helmet! And his signature series of adjustable nylon straps? Anyway, let's continue.

I hope you weren't expecting Emma Frost to wear one of her classic, basically/literally-lingerie outfits from the comics, because here's what January Jones is looking like as White Queen on the set of X-Men: First Class: like the lady who would fight alongside Mr. Freeze until she ends up flirting with Batman as she gets arrested in the '60s Batman series. I guess that works. Surely Jones's strong personality and unending charisma will make up for her lack of exposed curves, right?

Never mind about Alice Eve playing White Queen. Variety is now claiming Mad Men's January Jones has signed on to the psychic-powered role in X-Men: First Class, bringing with her years of experience in giving icy glares to heroic-looking men. Additionally, the trade notes that Son of Rambow's Bill Milner will play a young Magneto (because no matter how youthful of a Magneto we focus on, we apparently always need to also show him in flashback) and that Lenny Kravitz/Lisa Bonet-spawn Zoë Kravitz will play an unspecified role, though some outlets have reported it as being Angel--possibly because she was recently in a relationship with Ben Foster, who already played a gender-correct Angel in the disastrous X-Men: The Last Stand? So if we continue with that sexually-transmitted casting logic, doesn't that mean Jerry O'Connell is playing Mystique?
