Another behind the scenes feature w/Dafne and her claws.

This is adorable!

I just realized something neat.

There is only one explosion during the entire movie. That has to be some kind of a record for a superhero movie.

What movie did you watch? Because it's absolutely NOT clear that it's suppose to be the new timeline. Not only do they mention multiple things from the original timeline, and nothing from the new timeline, but this movie takes place just 5 years after DOFP. No way they've aged that much in 5 years.

The most prominent mention from the original timeline was probably the Liberty Island reference, which could just as easily have happened in the DOFP revised timeline. The continuity is murky, and it has been for years now with these movies, but it's not like it affects the quality of this film in any way.

The Statue of Liberty thing is actually genius. Logan thinks it's a reference to X1, but it's not.

Hutch parker on X23

Recently, IGN had a chance to speak with Hutch Parker about his work on Logan, and the producer took time to address X-23’s future. When Parker was asked whether the mutant could show up in an upcoming movie like The New Mutants, the producer said he didn’t believe that was going to be the case.

“I don't know definitively, but in terms of the stuff we've been talking about, it's not sort of slipping her into the background of another movie. It's looking at that character, which is a great character and has a pretty interesting run within the comics, to find a story that we think she could carry or certainly be kind of majorly significant within,” Parker said.

“That's the only kind of thing that Jim as a storyteller, a filmmaker...that's the way his sort of process works. And the way his mind works in terms of what he would aspire to. Which isn’t to say that the studio couldn’t have a conversation about something else, but the one that we've been kind of discussing loosely and kicking around is more likely to be its own film.”

I love that bit, the whole thing with Logan looking up at motel's name and Laura watching him is so beautifully shot

For some reason it only dawned on me now that the casino scene is essentially do-over of Charles' death in X3, only this time Logan actually gets to save Charles. And I also never catched the 'they are waiting for you at the statue of liberty' = 'liberty motel' thing either. This movie truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

i caught the stature of library reference.

on the commantary mangold gives good reason why he went with x-24 and not say sabretooth as rice's secret weapon.

Seeing that there are still folks who haven't watched the movie yet (do it, it's fantastic!), I'll put this in a spoiler tag just in case.

I'm man enough to admit that I teared up in the theatre. Even though I knew it was coming, it still got me.

A great video essay from nerdwriter on Logan and the evolutions of the superhero genre.

Man I really want to know who was the woman on the radio talking to Rictor.

Logan Noir premiere just now in London

 

[Smilodon]

It's great that fans are drumming up enough demand and Fox Home Entertainment is willing to put on these special showings, especially since it was only supposed to be one night only.

 

[Ivan Drago]

Looks like Daphne got a little taller.

She probably gonna hit that growth spurt soon.

Oh man. This movie still hits so hard.

 

[NotNickFury]

Finally got my hands on the Blu Ray. Can't wait to sit down and rewatch this, particularly with commentary to hear Mangold discuss this film.

On an unrelated note, now also looking for a copy of that Unleashed, Extended cut of The Wolverine. Can't find it in stores, so may have to buckle and get it online.

 

[harlequinade]

I don't know what the source is but I keep seeing on my twitter dash that Logan was supposed to have a dog (maybe it's from Mangold's commentary I haven't listened to yet). I gotta say with how dark the movie was the dog would probably die and I would be shattered but I wonder who the dog was supposed to be substitute of

 

[Matt Mortem]

The noir version of this movie is a work of art. It's gorgeous.

It was in some of the concept art for the film. Don't think it ever made it past those stages either, the art was mainly there to be evocative and show off the lo-fi world of 2029.

Ohhh. I thought there was maybe a whole thing with the dog following Logan around and Logan being alll 'f*** off' at first but then becoming friends with him

It doesn't feel cheap at all - big props to Mangold, Mathieson etc. for making a film with lighting that could translate over somewhat with the Noir cut. I personally think the hotel seizure sequence, a tremendously innovative and engaging setpiece in the theatrical cut, becomes even more tremendous in monochrome.

Fox is lauching an oscar compain for War For The Planet Of The Apes. Hope they'll do the same for Logan.
