If you’ve seen the second X-Men movie then you’re probably looking around for books that tie-in.

With so much visual information, a book showing you storyboards, photos and close-ups of the equipment let alone the actors and an interview with director Bryan Singer is just the thing you’re looking for, right?

The Art Of X2: The Making Of The Blockbuster Movie edited by Timothy Shaner Of course you are. So why are you waiting to buy this book? Ah! You want the deluxe version that has the complete shooting script and a section on the first X-Men movie (I’m trying to persuade Titan to let me look a copy of that one over) and a bit more detail on the fury elf, Nightcrawler.

Buy this edition anyway, it’ll keep any younger siblings quiet while you’ve got the more expensive book.

In many respects, this book is kinda light-weight in the reading department. Whether it was me reading with intense interest quickly or there was too many photos.

Getting a balance between both of these to please everyone is always an impossible task but I suspect you’ll be after the photos anyway.

It is very much a set design book so you can admire the work that was done in the film and it also contains a complete 5 page screen credits listing showing how much work was done in this multi-million pound film.

Now, all you need is a video to go with it and you can compare to your heart’s content. Did I say there were film stills in here that you haven’t seen in the media books yet?

Thought not.
