Back in 2013, when promoting the then-upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past movie, the commercial team released a trailer for a "mutant conspiracy" around JFK's assassination.

They followed up with a full-fledged article entitled "The Bent Bullet Report", which narrated how Magneto supposedly altered a bullet's trajectory, effectively killing JFK.

It was a truly astounding piece of marketing which provided quite the immersion into the movie's setting.

I wanted to read it again, but unfortunately, the website it could be read on now redirects to 20th Century Fox's website. Is there any transcript of the whole article somewhere, in a companion book perhaps?

Bonus question: if the site being taken down was voluntary, was it explained why? (Given that other promotional material is still up, see below.)

Research done:

• the Wayback Machine, obviously. Unfortunately, out of all 212 snapshots, the 30ish I've tried at random either redirect to Fox's website or bring up a HTTP 302 response at crawl time error;


• Ignition Creative, the company which wrote the article, still features it on their X-Men: Days of Future Past page, but the link is the same dead one as above. Which is too bad, given that the two other promotional materials they released (Trask Industries' website and 25 moments) are still up;


• Chris Eyerman, the creative director, also featured it on his website, however while these are indeed screenshots from the site, a lot of the article is missing;


• Googling "the bent bullet report" yields only two pages of results but unless I'm really blind I didn't spot any relevant one;


• searching for bent bullet on Fox's website yields nothing;


• the Wikia page for it does what wikias do, they take info and rephrase it to a point, but it's not the original content;


• the closest I could find is this article but the pictures given are still not the whole article - for instance, there is no mention of Azazel in those, while he was definitely featured in the full-fledged article.

Here are all the images I could find, along with a .txt of the (apparently complete) article from another answer (on the marvel Movies Wikia). A video apparently from the website. Another

Unless I'm mistaken, the full text of the Bent Bullet Report appears to be archived on the Marvel Movies Fandom site.

The Bent Bullet BY HARPER SIMMONS The eyes of John F. Kennedy’s killer
are not unkind. It’s a peculiar, if quiet, revelation to make here, in
his company. The killer resides in a federal correctional facility — a
classified location that’s at least a quarter-mile underground, and
presumably miles from anywhere important. The facility is constructed
from concrete amalgams and transparent materials so secret and
durable, they don’t even have a name. In the event of a global nuclear
holocaust, a government contractor once said, only two things will
survive: “the cockroaches and that guy.”

He was called “The most dangerous man in the world” by President
Lyndon B. Johnson, five decades ago.

His eyes are blue. His face is slender, deeply lined, made longer
still by a natural frown. Still, he appears younger than most men his
age. He’s presumed to be 80 years old.

According to the correctional officers here, Kennedy’s killer is a
voracious reader. This seems true. More than a dozen books pepper the
prisoner’s spartan cell. Most are nonfiction books about social
issues, such as Trish Tilby’s recent exposé, District X. But a few
novels are present, including a dogeared copy of T.H. White’s The Once
and Future King.

You won’t find a tablet computer or e-reader here, of course. There’s
nothing with a conventional circuit board or metal enclosure within a
half-mile radius of this place.

More than 1,000 books — and very likely a thousand essays — have been
written about the Nov. 22, 1963 assassination of President Kennedy.
Nearly all have investigated the lives of people like Lee Harvey
Oswald and Jack Ruby. Most have criticized the findings of the Warren
Commission, the task force appointed by President Johnson to
investigate the Kennedy assassination.

These critics insist the Warren Commission’s final report was a
rushed, inadequately researched frame-up. Nearly all proudly provide
their own conspiracy theories about the events on that dreadful day in
Dallas. And most insist that the man here — the man convicted of
killing the president fifty years ago — is innocent.

Erik Lehnsherr. The man who calls himself Magneto.

Before the X-Gene To understand Lehnsherr’s motives — or, rather, the
motives the Warren Report alleged he had — one must understand the era
in which the Kennedy assassination occurred.

When Kennedy took office in 1961, the civil rights movement had
captured national attention and political allies ... and powerful
enemies, especially in the South. The X-Gene and mutants were not yet
a part of the public consciousness, though they would soon become so,
due in large part to Lehnsherr’s activities.

The world was 15 years into the Cold War. Tensions between the U.S.
and the Soviet Union were at a breaking point. By October 1962, the
Cuban Missile Crisis was unfolding, and the world faced imminent
nuclear war. Last year, the CIA and the Homeland Mutant Response
Division released previously-classified documents stating the crisis
was in fact orchestrated by a mutant and former Nazi named Sebastian
Shaw. His goal was the extermination of homo sapiens worldwide.

Also declassified was the revelation that the Cuban Missile Crisis was
thwarted by a clandestine CIA team called “Division X.” Division X was
comprised of several mutants led by Charles Xavier. Lehnsherr was also
a member. His mastery of magnetism proved invaluable during the
operation.

After the confrontation, Lehnsherr immediately left the team. He and
other Division X members founded the Brotherhood of Mutants, an
organization the FBI would quickly classify as “a pro-mutant terrorist
group.” Division X disbanded days later. All evidence of its existence
was sealed by the CIA.
