The figure to the right of Bryan Singer is a  Sentinel, from the director’s upcoming  X-Men adventure, “Days Of Future Past” (which is based upon a storyline from the long-running Marvel Comics series).

I am not crazy about how the Sentinel looks – especially considering how much better it looks in the comics – though this may not be the final design.  I assume that that’s the case because with the addition of CGI there’s no way that it would look so much like a huge wind-up toy.

Another thing that bothers me is that Singer, as a director, has received considerable success since his first film, “The Usual Suspects.”  He’s talented, though I was unaware that skills like engineering and welding figured into his skill-set.

If not, why aren’t we seeing some of those people in the picture as well?  Or at least some accompanying shots of them putting the thing together.

I don’t know Bryan Singer, though he comes off as arrogant in interviews and commentaries; and this picture from his latest project isn’t doing anything to change that.
