Marvel and 20th Century Fox released some concept art from the new X-Men prequel X-Men: First Class (2011) and has mind-blowing costume designs for the sexy Emma Frost, shots of the interior and exterior of the Sabastian Shaw's (Kevin Bacon) Hellfire Club and the Kremlin War Room and a revealing picture of Angel's fly wings.
IGN had a quote from January Jones, who plays telepathic mutant Emma Frost, on her character design:
Here are some concept design for the mutant Angel Salvatore (Zoë Kravitz) who hides her mutation of insect wings as a body tattoo.
No indication of who the concept artists are, of course. Very frustrating frankly.
IMDb lists Nick Ainsworth, James Carson, Kim Frederiksen, Paul Anthony McGill, Matthew Savage, Hayley Easton Street and Tom Whitehouse as concept artists for the film.
X-Men First Class stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, and Kevin Bacon and will be released June 3 in the US.
Official plot synopsis: "X-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men."
Update: Pretty sure the Hellfire club artwork comes from Jamie Rama.
Does this concept art make you want to join the Hellfire Club?IGN had a quote from January Jones, who plays telepathic mutant Emma Frost, on her character design:
No actual woman looks like that. She's very blessed, shall we say.
So coming straight from Mad Men, literally the day before, there was no way I could get physically cut like that. Also, for a woman to get that physically cut and not lose the curvy areas was a bit of a challenge for me, so I just did some weight training and body sculpting. I had a lot of fun with that, too.
All the stunt training and the physical aspects of the role that I didn't know I'd be doing were a lot of fun. Because her powers are very strong on both the mental and physical sides, so it was a lot of fun for me to go to different places than I've had to do as an actor before.She also talked about the groovy mod designs of the Hellfire Club's pad.
...I can say that it doesn't feel like a period movie. There's obviously historical aspects in the storytelling and some of the props and stuff, but I think it feels very modern. It does take place in 1962.
One of the things that's brought in from that time, the Hellfire Club aspect especially, is that it's pretty -- I dunno, the Bunnies and the Playboy clubs. It's really cool. You'd think Sinatra was there. The sets are really cool and the vibe of the whole thing is really neat.There's also a image of the design for the Kremlin war room which plays a big part of the Cuban missle crisis storyline.
