Fan Bingbing in talks to star in Anna May Wong biopic

Based on the life and career of the first Chinese American movie star



Some interesting movie news... Chinese actress/singer Fan Bingbing, most recently seen as the mutant Blink in X-Men: Days of Future Past, is reportedly in talks to star in a biopic about legendary screen icon Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American movie star.

Anna May Wong Biopic Planned at Fundamental Films

According to Variety, Shanghai-based Fundamental Films is developing Dragon Lady, based on the life and career of the Asian American silent era star. Jonathan Keasey and Brant Boivin are writing the script, which will recall Wong's poverty-stricken upbringing in downtown Los Angeles and her rise to fame in Hollywood.

Days of Future Past's Blink and Warpath have got each other's back, teleportation style



Yesterday, Empire Magazine released a gigantic series of 25 covers for its latest issue, each featuring a different character from the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. If you stick them all together, side-by-side in order, they make one long, super-giant image. (I wonder if anyone's going to buy all 25 covers. Reminds me of the good old days when Marvel launched the multi-cover X-Men #1. Ah, the nineties.)

The much-hyped Days of Future Past, which connects the timeline threads between the original X-Men trilogy and the groovy prequel X-Men: First Class, features a massive ensemble of X-characters, old and new -- including Fan Bingbing as Blink and Booboo Stewart as Warpath, who also each got a cover.

Check them out. If you look carefully, you can see they're actually standing on opposite ends of Blink's teleportation field (the pink swirly circle thing):

20th Century Fox has dropped the first official teaser trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past, the time-twerking prequel-sequel that attempts to bind the entire cluttered mutant movie series together, and presumably based on the classic, seminal comic book story arc of the same name.

The epic new trailer features the return of pretty much every major character from the X-Men screen franchise -- including both past and present versions of Professor Xavier, Magneto and the rest of the gang -- as well as some new faces. Note the quick glimpses of Fan Bingbing and BooBoo Stewart. Check it out:
