Days of Future Past goes Viral

Despite the Wolverine only opening a few days ago, viral marketing for the next X-men film, Days of Future Past, has already started and it is bringing forth its A-game. At SDCC this year, they unveiled the first look at sentinels from the upcoming film; sentinels are a large part of the X-men lore as they hunt and exterminate those with the x-gene. To immerse people into the world created by the X-Men movies, Fox has created Trask Industries as a viable organization and given it a website that looks real, along with our first (official) look of Peter Dinklage as Bolivar Trask, inventor of the sentinels.

Take a look at the Trask-Industries.com which also places sentinels in historical photographs from time, and admire Dinklage in his not-so-short role as the man who enslaved the mutants.

Read an excerpt from the site regarding sentinels

In 1973, Trask Industries introduced the first Sentinel production model, the Mark I. Bolivar Trask’s groundbreaking research in AI, robotics and autonomous ballistic systems laid the foundation for the world’s most capable anti-mutant defense system. Since the program’s inception, we’ve continued to advance our founder’s cause through eight additional generational upgrades and enhancements.
As we celebrate five decades of achievement, we also bid farewell to regular production of the Mark I and shift our efforts to full-time manufacturing of the Mark X — our first complete overhaul of the Sentinel line. These highly anticipated units will combine next-generation nanotechnology and bioweapon breakthroughs, promising an even brighter future for the human race.

I think this movie has a lot of potential. Let’s just hope its not too crowded.
