The Cast Appearances Thread

hehe. don't worry.

He'll appear in another show soon, I suppose.
 
Hugh is a delegate at the 2020 Summit in Canberra, Australia this weekend. Here are some clips of his appearance - the first one especially is humorous - he's so well-spoken! Click on the video links in the story.

'Prosperous and engaged': a vision for the future

April 19, 2008 - 3:34PM Australia by 2020 will be an independent, confident, prosperous and just nation deeply engaged with and demonstrating a close understanding of regional nations.

That's a big picture vision outlined today by participants in the future security stream of the 2020 Summit.

Despite the presence of high profile military figures, including former defence chief General Peter Cosgrove, there was little consideration of traditional security matters.

The 90 delegates gathered in small groups to hammer out their vision, which was in turn presented to the larger plenary sessions.

Presenting the views of his group, the retired general said it was understood only imperfectly how Australia's circumstances would change.

"So we have to build an independent international relations policy. This is not code for no more alliance (with the United States)," he said.

"We have to have an Australian view which is specific to our own future.
"To have our voice heard, we have got to earn the leadership.

"We believe that we should aim for a cultural step where we are the most open and the most diverse culture in the world."

General Cosgrove said there could be no prosperity without security but the issue of security was not the hard security of the military response.

"It is very much the engagement on every plane of nation states, one with the other," he said.

International relations expert Alan Dupont said climate change, pandemic disease, food, water and energy scarcity and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction were the key issues.

"While it is less likely that states are going to use nuclear weapons these days, the general consensus in the field is that if terrorists were to get hold of them they would probably use them," Professor Dupont said.

Terrorism expert David Wright-Neville said he would like to be able to describe Australia of 2020 as a good international citizen, a culturally diverse and cohesive state.

"It seems to me too often we underplay our status. Too often do we undervalue the extent to which what we already have is valued by others," he said.

"We should be able to utilise that to gain more influence. If we play our part right in this area, we can be friends and influence people."

ACTU president Sharan Burrow saw Australia of 2020 as a republic and a good neighbour to regional nations with a deep understanding of their cultures.

"I would like to see a good neighbours program in more than the nature of defence and security, a civil society dialogue nation to nation," she said.
"That I think will do more for our security and our confidence than most other things we could do out of this."

Human rights lawyer Fiona McLeod said she saw a nation where inequality was a thing of the past.

In her future Australia, women filled quotas for a third of senior positions in the public and private sectors, there had been a female prime minister and an Aboriginal woman had been president.

Hugh was on the US cable show Fox & Friends this morning via satellite promoting his new movie DECEPTION, and the video is on their website - no Wolverine mention but he looks lovely talking with the chops. He mentioned he was doing the interview at 11:00 at night.

He's also going to be on The Today Show in Australia on Wednesday.

Tomorrow on TODAY:
Fresh from the 2020 summit we'll be talking to Aussie heart-throb Hugh Jackman about his latest film, Deception.
 
Nice links. Hugh is funny, deception actually looks pretty good.
 
This is a radio interview and he talks a bit about bulking up for Wolverine. The interview is three parts but it's mentioned in the first part. As I write this the link is on the right-hand side.

We talk to the boss - Hugh Jackman!

Hugh Jackman's been crazy busy! Filming 'Wolverine' and 'Deception' (which he also produced), and recently 'Australia', and stopped by to chat to the team about all the stuff that's been going on.
 
I hope DP is semi-long, long enought to set up a spin-off movie.
 
Hugh was on the Australian TV talk show Rove Live on Sunday - I put a sort of transcript in the update thread I think but it's more appropriate for cast appearances - here's the video. He does mention Wolverine at the beginning.

We should be starting to get more and more cast appearances hopefully soon.
 
Don't know about any other cast members doing appearances, but Hugh's "Australia" is coming out on Nov. 14 and I'm sure he's going to be doing massive publicity for it since it's being touted as one of those Oscar-worthy movies. So you can be sure Wolverine will come up.
 
Thought I would bump this because the cast will be making their usual rounds very soon. Post in here where they will be so that we can be sure to watch or read.
 
Thanks for bumping this up - I had forgotten we had this and started another thread about an appearance of Hugh and Daniel Henney in South Korea. I'll place it here (the other one can be deleted).

Wolverine to meet Korean fans with Korean-American actor Henney

Fresh from hosting the 81st Academy Awards in February, Australian-born actor Hugh Jackman is planning to visit Korea early next month, according to 20th Century Fox Korea.

It will be his second visit to Korea since 2006.

On this visit, he will promote his latest movie “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”

The movie also stars Korean-American heartthrob Daniel Henney as Agent Zero.

Jackman will hold a press conference April 10, and Henney is to appear.

The highly anticipated movie, which tells the story of Wolverine’s mysterious and romantic past, is a prequel to the successful X-Men series.

Wolverine will open in theaters on April 29.

Am I the only American who wants to cry every time I see the "Open on April 29th" thing?

:(
 
Nope. They did that with X3. I had to hide in Communities for three days so I wouldn't get spoiled. :(
 
Hugh will be on Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Awards this Saturday, March 28. This is like the third time he'll be on that show - maybe this time he'll get slimed. The last two times he was in a burping contest and won the first time.
 
And it was the same year he won the Tony, I'm guessing that's a first for anyone. :oldrazz:
