Call Now to Enroll in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters

If you have an extraordinary child (and who doesn't?), Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters might be the right place for him or her to hone their talents. Let's flashback to 1983 and this "commercial" for the special school, or maybe it's just a clever way to promote X-Men: Apocalypse? Yeah it's probably that.

It's a fun way to spend a minute and perfect for Throwback Thursday so just out the video below. The Bryan Singer-directed film is in theaters on May 27.

Synopsis:
Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Cast: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn, Lucas Till, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alexandra Shipp, Josh Helman, Lana Condor, Ben Hardy

Bryan Singer Gives 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Scriptease

Hot on the heels of the success of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Bryan Singer is already working with Simon Kinberg, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris on the script for X-Men: Apocalypse. We now know the next installment will be set in the early 1980s in what Singer has called an "inbetweenquel" which bridges to the original X-Men movie. Of course, with the timeline changes of X-Men: First Class and DoFP, there are absolutely no guarantees the original movie will stand as is.

Why should people be excited about Singer's Instagram photo showing the first page of the script? First thing is, the writers. In addition to Singer, Kinberg wrote the screenplay for DoFP, which has gotten great reviews, helped us forget his involvement with X-Men: The Last Stand, and will provide some style continuity for the upcoming movie. Dougherty and Harris were involved with the screenplay for X2, which was also a hit back in 2003, so the writing team has Xperience and success behind them.

The Future of the X-Men After the Future has Passed

X-Men: Days of Future Past hasn't been released yet, but the hints and speculation about the next X-Men movie are already out there and picking up steam. Back in January, Hollywood Reporter published 20th Century Fox's intention to release X-Men: Apocalypse in May of 2016.

Since then, there's been rampant guesswork about who will appear in the movie and how director Bryan Singer intends to bring everything and everybody together to fight the iconic villain, Apocalypse. A multi-film crossover concept is also being beach-balled around the internets wherein Apocalypse's story unfolds through not only the X-Men, but hinted at through Days of Future Past and the X-Force movie being talked about (bring on Cable!!).
