Michael Fassbender, known for his incredible talent and his performance in Inglorious Basterds and Hunger, may play the younger version of Ian McKellan’s Magneto in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class. He might also take a walk over to the Sony lot and star in Spider-Man, playing the villain for director Marc Webb. He may do none of these things. Just know that if he does them, he will do them well.

More often than I’d like to say in front of the class, readers send us photoshopped fan images in the wake of casting news on particularly geeky properties. And no offense to those who put in the time and effort, but for the most part it’s all rather terrible.

Casting has begun on Matthew Vaughn’s next film, X-Men: First Class. I know this because Fox announced today that James McAvoy has signed on to play a young Charles Xavier, a character made famous in previous X-Men films by a wheelchair-bound Patrick Stewart.

Whomever plays Kurt Cobain, has to be Kurt Cobain. Some actors can get away with a less than passing resemblance with the strength of their performance, but Robert Pattinson is not him. However, here are five actors who might be able to do it…

According to a Summit Entertainment press release, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has replaced James McAvoy as the lead in the untitled dramedy formally known as I’m With Cancer. Gordon-Levitt will now play Adam, a young man diagnosed with cancer who must navigate the scary and confusing process of treatment. McAvoy’s reason for leaving? “He has left the production due to unrelated circumstances beyond his control”.

Don’t you wish you’d created the most well-known spy in history? Then James McAvoy could play you in a movie!

Collider has the first photos from the set of Robert Redford’s The Conspirator, his film about Mary Surratt’s role in the conspiracy to assassinate Lincoln.

You can all calm down. They finally figured out who shot President Lincoln. Now to get to work on who shot J.R.

Robert Redford will take on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln when he directs The Conspirator.

Guess what little ones, cancer is hilarious!! Variety reports that undeniably Scottish actor James McAvoy has jumped on the cancer bandwagon with his attachment to I’m With Cancer.

For some reason I have to write the word ‘Bilbo’ a ton in this post, and it feels slightly gross. Luckily, I don’t have to write “Ryan Reynolds Cast as Bilbo Baggins,” so that’s a relief.

Everyone loves a good killing spree, do they not? Here at Film School Rejects we love a good killer more than most, and whether they are hacking with a blade or shooting ‘em up we are always ready to sit up and take notice. With that in mind, we’ve drawn up a list of ten of our favorite on-screen killers.

Every once in a while we head out into the world, seeking a little escapism from our everyday grind. Thankfully, Hollywood pumps out wicked, energy-infused flicks like Wanted. Escapism, ho!

If you live in or around Columbus, Ohio and you are someone who loves movies where bullets are flying all over the place, then you are in luck.

One of the latest trends in movie marketing is to release big, long clips that show us more and more of a film before it is released. In the case of Wanted, we are okay with that…

When it comes to a movie like Wanted, I say let the bullets fly and let the scantily clad, hooker-looking Angelina Jolie waltz around in the nude.

As if we needed any more inclinations as to whether or not the upcoming graphic novel adaptation Wanted is going to kick serious ass…

The casting race is on for The Hobbit and it appears James McAvoy has the inside track to play Bilbo Baggins. Baggins is the wandering Hobbit who found the Ring.

It isn’t often that I am so impressed by a movie website, but then again, it isn’t often that I am this excited about a movie.

We all know that Wanted is going to rock (I think), but as you will see in this new international trailer, this film brings the heat when translated to Russian.
