Locations included Oxford, the Mojave desert and Georgia, with soundstage work done in both Pinewood Studios and the 20th Century Fox stages in Los Angeles.
This was filmed in 2D and added special effects
The film almost didn't have Hugh Jackman in, which would have been their 'Big star' http://news.moviefone.com/2011/09/26/hugh-jackman-x-men-first-class-cameo-interview/



Post production
Yes, this film does rely on special effects, a big part of the film would only be possible from special effects
The "claws" of wolverine. All of the powers of the X-Men, a lot of the fighting scenes
There was no 3D
It did require reshoots said Eli Gathegi said that they didnt have to reshoot a big bulk of the film but little bits needed reshooting. It didn't change the release date though

Marketing
The films premier was in NYC on the 25th of May, 2011

Script

My film is X Men: First Class. (insert picture of poster)
My film fits into the criteria as it was released in 2011, it is not a comedy and it has a A list star- Kevin Bacon (insert picture of Kevin Bacon). There are many stars in X Men: First Class but I believe that most people will know Kevin Bacon compared to James McAvoy, although, Jennifer Lawrence was cast in the film as Misteque but made her fame after the film was released (insert picture of Jennifer Lawrence). X Men was produced by Matthew Vaughn and was made by the 20th century fox studios(insert picture of both Matthew Vaughn & 20th centure Fox). Its budget was $140-160 million (show figure). The film went on and grossed at $146,000,000in the United States and Canada and $207,000,000 in foreign markets, bringing its worldwide total to $353,000,000 (show figure), which as you can probably tell is quite successful.
X Men was filmed in many different locations, including Oxford in england, the Mojave desert and Georgia in America.
The problems with the X men First Class film was all the speculation that the other two films did not make enough money so everyone was asking why they bothered making a third film.
