Bleeding Cool: It seems like the quality of X-Men: First Class is inversely proportional to the difficulties faced in bringing it to the screen. These challenges, and how some of them were overcome, made up much of my chat with Matthew Vaughn at the weekend. We also talked about the X-Men film he almost made some years ago, his writing process and a whole lot more. Here are Five Things he told me.
“Love Hurts” may present interesting action sequences, but it falters, maybe even fails, regarding everything else it is expected to deliver.
TNS: Heart Eyes happily marries the tropes of romantic comedy with classic slashers to create a compelling couple.
TNS: Love Hurts places Ke Huy Quan in a long-awaited starring role with a tragically non-committal mess falling down around him.
Vaughn doesn't really mess around. I'd be willing to let him handle any film property that I'd be interested in.
Hanging around Guy Ritchie will do that to you though.
