Matthew Vaughn is just about to roll cameras on X-Men reboot, X-Men: First Class, and has been tearing some pages out of the script.

The hugely talented Kick Ass director told The LA 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." He's also getting used to directing for a studio, this time, the notoriously prickly 20th Century Fox: "I'm an employee now," Vaughn said with a smile. "I'm not used to that."

The flick is shooting in London and stars James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as Professor X and Magneto in their younger days, before they started their good guy/bag guy teams.
