Matthew Vaughn, director of the upcoming X-Men:First Class is going to have to edit parts of the film because some of the elements are too similar with Christopher Nolan‘s Inception.

For your information, removed sequence revolved around “dream-space combat,” and featured Professor X and other mutants fighting in the middle of the spinning rooms and “other physics-bending imagery.”
Vaughn explained: “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.”
Still, with the visions that Vaughn felt drifted too close to signature moments in Inception, we must agree that this sounds like a good decision, and one big respect for director's work.
X-Men First Class is scheduled to hit theaters June 3rd, 2011 and stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Alice Eve and Caleb Landry (official members of the cast), and possibly Aaron Johnson and Rosamund Pike.
