X3 Teaser and Photos

A teaser trailer is up for X3 at the official website, but I can't get the darn thing to load. My guess is that every fanboy in the known universe is trying to watch it right now. I also wouldn't be surprised if the intense focus by the geek collective caused some kind of rupture in space-time. History could be re-writing itself as we speak. At least the photo gallery is up. Do yourself a favor and check out Beast.

Update:
Ok. The trick is to download Quicktime7, which means you have to download iTunes. A necessary evil, I suppose. In typical teaser fashion the video moves at breakneck speed with lots of hard cuts and quick fades. That's why I love Quicktime. Frame by frame, baby! Here's some of the things I noticed:

• The first scene shows Wolverine and Storm in the X-Men HQ with several other members of the team trailing behind them. You got Rogue and Iceman in the back but it also looks like Colossus and Shadowcat are coming along for the ride. I really hope we see a "fastball special" in this movie.
• There is a shot of a class being conducted by Xavier and it looks like Siryn, Shadowcat, and Jubilee are sitting up in front. All three characters have credits in the movie according to IMDB.
• Magneto is giving a speech to what appears to be his army. Juggernaut is to the left of him and Pyro and Jean Grey are to the right. What?!? So the Brotherhood has Phoenix on their side now? The X-Men are so screwed. The woman between Pyro and Magneto looks like it could be Callisto. Does that mean Mageneto's army is full of Morlocks this time around? The plot thickens.
• Why is Iceman getting frisky with Shadowcat? Hmm.
• Magneto breaks Juggernaut out of solitary.
• Funeral scene. Not entirely sure who it's for but I have a few hunches. Close-up of mourners. You've got Rogue, Iceman, Shadowcat, Colossus, Beast (looking awesome I must say), and Dr. Moira MacTaggart.
• It looks like Beast is chummy with the President and the Joint Chiefs.
• Magneto and his peeps are heading straight for the camera. Same people I noticed before in the forest but this time you see Juggernaut in full costume and he looks really lame. Like an extra from Mad Max or something.
• Wait just a hot damn minute! Is that a fastball special? Because it sure looks like one.
• And some bridge collapses.....The End!

The cast and crew can be found here. The fact that Multiple Man is going to be in here could also help explain where Magneto's army comes from. The addition of Dr. Kavita Rao is a nice touch, too. For those who don't know, Dr. Rao was in a very recent storyline in Astonishing X-Men. She is the one who "finds" a cure for mutants. As you can imagine, hilarity ensues.
