To mark the Blu-ray and DVD release of X-Men: First Class, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment turned the lobby and Teddy’s of The Roosevelt Hotel into the “Hellfire Club”, and invited young Hollywood trendsetters to share in the fun.  During the party, fans had access to a VIP viewing area of the mind-blowing 3D X-Men performance that was projected onto–and interacted with–the architecture of the hotel to showcase the powers of the young mutant class.  The 3D projection was created and produced by Pearl Media. The event took place on September 8th.

DJ Paul Oakenfold rang in the night, performing in Teddy’s of The Roosevelt Hotel, one of Hollywood’s most exclusive hot spots. Lucas Till, who plays Havok in the film was on hand, as well as Tom Arnold, Jamie King, Jesse Metcalfe, and many more! Here are some photos that I took while on the red carpet, just before the event. Enjoy!

Before they were superheroes, the fate of humanity depended on an extraordinary group of youngsters who went on to become X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. Based on the international bestselling Marvel Comics franchise, this box office hit bursts onto Blu-ray and DVD Friday, September 9 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. For the first time ever, “X-Men” fans will have the power to choose a side between Professor X and Magneto with two versions of premium collectible Blu-ray packaging.  Also exclusively on Blu-ray, fans receive access to over two hours of special interactive features PLUS ten Marvel “X-Men” Digital Comics including a never-before-seen “X-Men: First Class” backstory— redeemable through each Blu-ray’s unique packaging code.

Director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Kick Ass) tells the true origins of the multi-billion dollar film franchise, guiding exceptional performances by Golden Globe^®-nominee James McAvoy (Atonement), Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds), and Golden Globe^®-winner Kevin Bacon (“Taking Chance,” Mystic River).  A “rare movie event that balances an intelligent story with solid performances, first-rate action and top-of-the-line special effects” (Ben Lyons, E!), X-MEN: FIRST CLASS has drawn an impressive $150 million at the domestic box office and nearly $350 million worldwide.

Before Charles Xavier (McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Fassbender) took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time, working together to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known.  The film  features a star-studded supporting cast, including Academy Award^®-nominee Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone), January Jones (“Mad Men”), Rose Byrne (28 Weeks Later), Zoë Kravitz (“Californication”), Nicholas Hoult (A Single Man), Lucas Till (Walk the Line), and Emmy Award^®-nominee Oliver Platt (“The West Wing”).
