[squeekness]

I wanna know who the old man was, who said Logan had a choice.

 

[sniktsnakt]

I think it might be their version of Mac (James Hudson).

I don't know how I feel about that, but right now I'm too high on the eyes to worry about it.

 

[Orb]

Youtube please?

 

[Carlo Comicus]

It's the most little preview I have seen in my life.

 

[squeekness]

It's an ad for a preview so don't fret.

Kick ass!

 

[sniktsnakt]

Ohh your avatar!

I know! As soon as I saw the red eyes I was like, "THAT'S MINE!"

I had to fight off three other fans to get to it first. The true meaning of survival of the fittest.

D

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Gambit has red eyes! Awesome. Well at least some fans are guaranteed to be pleased.

Me and my ilk will have to wait...

 

[squeekness]

Maybe we'll get some good Deadpool stuff tomorrow.

 

[Andreth]

Yeah like that cool shot of deadpool the guy from imdb mentioned

The true meaning of survival of the fittest

 

[04nbod]

I know I should be grateful but if they are going to do the eyes why not go the whole way, red and black? Maybe the picture was cut before the eye completely turned?

 

[squeekness]

I still think the red and black would not look that great in real life. I am happy with what we got.

 

[Silverglade]

It seems that in that preview the studio went out of their way to silence complaints about Gambit's eyes. I am glad it is red of course. But it seems like their confidence is not solid.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I think he was gonna have red eyes all along.

It's exactly the same shot as the first trailer we got. But in that trailer all the post production SFX were not completed by then. They obviously added in the smaller SFX touches later on.

 

[Silverglade]

Good point. I hope that is the case. I have total confidence in the film myself. I just hope it kicks ass. I am gonna be there opening night.

 

[sniktsnakt]

Check out this screenshot. Logan's shirtless in the Hudson's barn. I wonder if this is not long after he escaped after the adamantium procedure.

Cool beans

Early Look: Jackman digs his claws into Wolverine
By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY

Hugh Jackman has a bit of advice for anyone planning on hosting the Academy Awards: Don't drop Anne Hathaway.

Jackman, who began last month's ceremony with a six-minute musical number that included whisking the actress onstage, says that after the opening act, "I was able to relax; I knew we were going to be OK after that. But when we were planning that whole thing for live TV, it was a bit tense."

Jackman has been ratcheting up the tension lately. After his first stint as Oscar host, he turns his attention to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which opens May 1. The fourth installment of the comic-book adaptation finds Jackman wearing not just the steel claws of the title character, but also the producer's hat.

Jackman says that while he has always been grateful for the franchise's success &#8212; it has grossed more than $1.1 billion and cemented his leading-man status &#8212; he has disagreed with the development of Wolverine's character over the years.

"I'm not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft," Jackman says. "I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life."


Jackman says he decided to tackle producing because he wanted "to own up to the responsibility of this character. I wanted to put myself into this movie in every way possible. This is the movie that I've seen in my head for a long time."

Wolverine looks at the origins of the beast with anger-management issues, plus several of his mutant colleagues, including Sabretooth (played by Liev Schreiber), Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Gambit (Taylor Kitsch).

Jackman says he fell in love with the Wolverine character a decade ago for much the same reason fans embrace the comic books.

"The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo," Jackman says. "He's a good guy, not a nice guy. He's got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He's struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics' first anti-heroes."

Not that Jackman is only about playing the rebel. He says that he'd be up for another Oscar ceremony and that hosting three straight Tonys and performing numerous plays has honed his ad-lib skills in case he fumbled a starlet.

"I'd have a clever line ready for the audience," he says. "And her agents."
