'X-Men: First Class' Director Changes Movie Because Of 'Inception'

Now who would have saw this coming possibly Professor X...just maybe. With Inception blazing the Hollywood charts as the number one film for the past three weeks, who would have thought it would effect a future film in such a huge way.

According to X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn, a recent viewing of the blockbuster Christopher Nolan film forced him to change his own movie because of similarities to Inception's surreal, zero-gravity, rotating-room fight scenes. Vaughn explained his changes to the L.A. Times: "I saw Inception, which I loved, but my heart sank when I saw that a few of the ideas we had were up [on the screen]. So it's either leave it in and look as if you're copying or change things. We completely ripped out about 12 pages of the script and the storyboards."

I gotta hand it to him, that was very big of him to revamp his material, at least he is trying to be original and be authentic as possible, versus taking the easy route and giving the impression of borrowing material.
