The Wolverine News & Discussion Thread

[Shpati]

One thing I love about Wolverine, his movies do not have to deal with saving a city. It has a more personal feel to it.

I don't think anyone can cmplain about his shape.Plus good to see Instead of putting wig on they are doing homage to Dave Cockrum style drawn Logan

In all honesty, I'd rather his legs were a bit beefier. He is so long and lean, despite the upper body physique. Bigger legs would be more like the Wolverine from the comics...

Hugh has admitted he has "chicken legs" so I think that's as good as it's going to get. Meanwhile, sounds like Brian Tee is on his way:

I've read a couple of reports claiming this was indeed Svetlana Khodchenkova. Can anyone confirm?

Why is she carrying a hot water bottle?

Why is she carrying a hot water bottle?

I've read the weather in Sydney hasn't been that warm so perhaps she was just cold!

Meanwhile, the video attached to this blog is a riot! "Hunting Hugh Jackman in Picton" - she describes her efforts to find Hugh.

So is that her? I guess she's officially on. And no need for Fox to waste money on a press release.

I've never been this exited for a fox superhero film. Im interested to see how the story goes

Me too man. I was not really excited at all for First Class, but it ended up being a pretty great film, IMO.

Hoping this is the Wolverine film we've been wanting to get. Love Jackman's hobo long hair/beard.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Is this going to be a reboot or a continuation of X-Men Origins: Wolverine?

A mix between both much like The Incredible Hulk. It won't directly mention Origins, but it won't go out of it's way to say it didn't happen either.

 

[JP]

Considering Logan remembers absolutely nothing that happens in Origins, there really is no reason to mention anything from that film.

This site says it's her.

Hands down to that!!!

Yesterday I was having a discussion with a friend, who said the new Batman movie was the most awesome movie she's ever seen. I did enjoy the movie, sure, but that's it. I wouldn't watch it again. But I would totally watch again any X-Men movie, Wolverine, The Avengers, Hulk, Iron Man, any of them, anytime. I'm not saying Hulk is better than the Batman movies. I'm saying i like it more, it excites me more. The whole Marvel universe just thrills me. I guess I'm a Marvel girl

I thought Avengers, the X-Men movies, and Spider-Man movies had to do with saving their city. I cannot remember Iron Man to well.

I just think Wolverine is separate from all the DC and Marvel movies, heroes, and characters. He has a more personal quest for his damaged self.

I think you are a Marvel girl, and that is cool.

In re-reading one of the stories on filming, noticed that it says filming in Japan is going to be for three weeks.

Yes but in Batman is like they're obssesed with the city. Gosh, give it a break. At a point in the movie, I really thought "well, let the darn place explode to pieces already".

Now this is dedication.

HANDS up who wants to look like Hugh Jackman?

Hands up who's willing to get up out of bed in the middle of the night to achieve it?

Didn't think so.

Word on the street down south in Picton - where the man-mountain actor was filming The Wolverine at the weekend - is that Jackman was seen working out in the wee hours at the local gym, even doing bench presses at 2am.

Its hardly out of character for the fit-as-a-fiddle 43-year-old who, when in town working on the last X-Men spin-off in 2008, would keep protein shakes by his bed and wake up during the night to drink them.

"Eight hours is a long time to let your body go without protein," he said at the time.

Last year he told Confidential that, yes, he does get sick of working out - it's the heavy weights I could do without."

A set source said: "He loves keeping fit and takes this part very seriously.

"It's been in his life (for) over 10 years."

Exclusive Pics: Wolverine Shoots At Sydney's The Hopetoun August 7, 2012

When a source confirmed that hirsute strong man Hugh Jackman was heading for Surry Hills over the last couple of days for a Wolverine shoot, we took to the streets in a bid to get a look at the Animantium-filled mutant on set. The shoot took place at the Hopetoun Hotel, providing The Hoey with the first "gig" it has housed since shutting its doors indefinitely in 2009.

Hugh didn't make an appearance, but a crew worker told us the scene they're shooting involves Wolverine "confronting someone in a bar flight" and, judging by the Camouflage-centric costumes (in pics below), we're guessing the punch up involves characters from Wolverine/Logan's military past - especially the camera-ready chap with the impressive moustache.

It's just nice to see the abandoned walls of The Hopetoun making some kind of contribution to the Arts again.

This Is probally how wolverine gets In toruble that lands him In prison.

He gets Into fight with people In bar and causes damage possibly even using claws on somebody.

 

[psylockolussus]

Yay Svetlana Khodchenkova! She's more fitting for the role than Jessica Biel. I think that picture is already a confirmation that she's in the movie!

I don't like this Hagrid-look to Wolverine, hopefully he'll appear like that just for a short time.

 

[RomyFan]

Yoy know what I would like for this movie? A huge, phenomenal, red carpet premiere, like The Avengers'. X-Men Origins Wolverine had a very... simple? premiere, in my opinion. Even though I followed it live. But I want something bigger this time.

Simple premiere? From what I remember, Hugh went to a gajillion countries for that movie, but the whole cast did only appear at one place (I think LA).

A premiere in Sydney and Tokyo would be nice! But I think a very big, huge, phenomenal red carpet premiere is more suiting to X-Men: Days of Future Past because they have bigger names for that movie and its like a cross-over movie. The only big name that The Wolverine has is Hugh Jackman.

 

[narrows101]

Know what you WILL probably see? Hugh is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - he was approved four years ago, and you have five years in which to hold the ceremony. I guarantee you the ceremony is going to be around the premiere of the movie.
