Production
Development - Producer Lauren Shuler Donner reported in August 2006 that renegotiations would be required to continue the main film series. Newer cast members of X-Men: The Last Stand were signed, while the older cast members were not. Donner stated, "There is forty years worth of stories. I’ve always wanted to do 'Days of Future Past' and there are just really a lot of stories yet to be told." She later pitched Bryan Singer on doing a fourth installment of the previously established X-Men franchise, following the completion of X-Men: First Class. In March 2011, Shuler Donner revealed that the film was in "active development at Fox," saying, "We took the treatment to Fox and they love it... And X4 leads into X5".
20th Century Fox envisioned X-Men: First Class as the first film of a new X-Men trilogy. Donner compared the franchise plans to be similar to the darker, more mature content of the Harry Potter film series. While early reports had Matthew Vaughn and Singer returning to direct and produce the sequel, respectively. While still attached to the project as a director, Vaughn stated, "First Class is similar to Batman Begins,
where you have the fun of introducing the characters and getting to
know them, but that takes time. But with the second one, you can just
get on with it and have a rollicking good time. That’s the main
difference between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight." Describing how the next movie could open, Vaughn said: “I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy assassination, and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto." Singer has stated that the film could be set around the civil rights movement or the Vietnam War, and that Wolverine could once again be featured.
Pre-production - In November 2011, Simon Kinberg who co-wrote X-Men: The Last Stand and co-produced X-Men: First Class was hired to write the screenplay of the film. In May 2012, 20th Century Fox announced a July 18, 2014 release date for the film. Then in August 2012, the title for the film was confirmed to be X-Men: Days of Future Past. The film is said to be inspired by Chris Claremont and John Byrne's X-Men comic book storyline, "Days of Future Past". The comic book storyline ran in Uncanny X-Men in 1981 during Claremont and Byrne's run and introduced the idea of an alternate future for Marvel's mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.
In October 2012, Vaughn left the director duties to focus on Mark Millar's The Secret Service film adaptation, but he is still attached to the film as a writer and producer. Bryan Singer was later announced as the director of the film. This is the third time that Singer will direct a film in the X-Men film series. Screenwriter Jane Goldman, who wrote the final screenplay of X-Men: First Class with Matthew Vaughn, is also linked to the project.
John Myhre and Louise Mingenbach were hired as production designer and costume designer, respectively. According to the director, Mingenbach, who worked previously in X-Men, X2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, will no longer produce the usual black leather costumes. John Ottman who collaborated with all of Singer's works since X2 has confirmed to work on the film.
Singer stated that the story will partially be set during the 1970s and that former United States president Richard Nixon will be a character in the film. He also stated that the film will be the biggest movie that he's ever made..
Filming - Principal photography on X-Men: Days of Future Past will begin on April 15, 2013 in Montreal, Canada. It will be the first film in the X-Men film series to be filmed in 3D. The film will be using Arri Alexa-M cameras with Leica Primes and Fujinon Zooms.
