Rumors from the Fox studio realm indicates that there will be a postponement of the press junket for its upcoming X-Men film because director Bryan Singer is still working on the movie. However, there is denial of the rumors that the studio is canceling the junket, that the studio won't hold media screenings or that filmmakers are re-cutting the movie because of bad buzz from an audience test screening. I wonder where the rumors were generated from. I've heard "bad" things, but none of it was ever from a credible source.

"Absolutely not true," denied an anonymous studio source. "It's just a very complicated thing and the studio's just not getting a final print until early July." There was also indication that Singer has been under pressure to complete the film by the July 14 release date, even though X-Men was originally planned for a Christmas release. But Singer's promise will be a July delivery. Marvelous.

There have also been rumors circulating that an audience reacted negatively to a test screening. However, the anonymous source stated that Fox hasn't screened the film for anyone since a courtesy screening several months ago for Fox and Marvel executives. "They're racing the clock," the source said. X-Men is based on the legendary Marvel Comics series, and is being positioned as the first film in a possible franchise. And I think that means sequels if the first X-men movie proves to be successful.
