X-Men 3 looks like it’s shaping up to be a disaster. We’ve talked a lot about it here on The Movie Blog. Today a “description” of a teaser trailer is floating around the web. The description looks good… but…
I have serious doubts about it’s authenticity. Didn’t they just start shooting? Some of the stuff listed in the “description” talk about shots with visual effects already done. It’s too much. I just have a very hard time believing that such a trailer exists… since I doubt that ANY post-production work has been done yet at this point.
On the other hand, an argument could be made that the studio is rushing a trailer to try to counter-act all the negative buzz about the project floating around. If that’s the case… it’s a good idea. Not ideal… but probably something they need to do. Judge for yourself. Here’s the trailer description found via CanMag:

Scene of Pyro and Iceman standing in a cave like structure glaring at each other: (The background glows a yellowish tint)
