Hugh Jackman on Wolverine

Hugh Jackman talked to The Herald Sun a bit about X-Men Origins: Wolverine:

Jackman is deep into shooting an X-Men spinoff and new Seed project Wolverine in Sydney with co-stars Liev Schreiber and Ryan Reynolds.

"I'm used to these movies now," he says. "They're big and there's a lot involved, a lot at stake, so it's always high pressure. But Gavin Hood, our director, is a real force. He's an Oscar-winning director (for Tsotsi) and he's used to working under different kinds of pressure and stresses."

Jackman hand-picked Melbourne youngster Kodi Smit-McPhee (Romulus, My Father) to play Wolverine as a young man.

"He's one of those kids who's fearless," Jackman says. "I hope he doesn't read this article because yes, there is pressure on him because of who he's playing and the expectations of fans. I was lucky to be completely ignorant of fans' expectations and the whole world before X-Men came out. I just hope he doesn't read too much or go on the internet because he naturally has the goods I know the fans will love."

"Wolverine" hits theaters on May 1, 2009.

Hugh Jackman Talks Wolverine

April 30, 2008



MTV talked to Hugh Jackman about his May 1, 2009 opener X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

"We are dealing with a character who is probably one of the darker comic book characters ever created," Jackman said. "The movie has a lot of fun elements, but there are layers of pain and darkness to this character."

"Tonally, I would put it more in the 'Batman Begins' sort of realm," he added. "That's sort of where we're headed."

And would he like to play Wolverine in more films? Find out his answer here.

Wolverine Set Report.

 

[Zombie_Comics]

Am I the only one who has bad feelings about this movie??

I have this feeling that a lot of people will see this but walk out disappointed.

 

[darknight7]

sorry to ask such a rediculous question.

but is this movie being done by MARVEL STUDIOS?

Or did they get started before it became MS?

[Congo Jack]

but is this movie being done by MARVEL STUDIOS?

Nah, Fox still has the rights to the X-Men movies.

[darknight7]

...bummer, was hoping it was being done by Marvel Studios

[Zombie_Comics]

Sorry that this may be off topic, but did the x-men movies have the Marvel Logo go by in the begining of the film. The one were the comic book pages go by and finally turn red and become the full logo.

 

[Snikt]

X2 and X3 had the Marvel logos in front of them. The only Marvel movies to not feature the logo are Blade 1 & 2 and X1.

 

[Zombie_Comics]

thank you, i was just wondering. Blade kinda came out before the whole comic book movie thing.

 

[Pyroschik]

I watched the Wolverine teaser trailer, and I was wondering why isn't Lady Deathstryke in it? I know she was also in the Weapon X program and would have thought she would be a part of this movie too.

 

[BMM]

She could always be involved in a potential sequel.

 

[Nightmare]

She was in X2.

But as i remember in the comic or cartoon her dad had a part in the weapon x project then wolverine killed her dad thus her seeking revenge on wolvie.

 

[Pyroschik]

Oh okay. I guess that makes better sense now, although I still wish she would have at least made an appearance in the movie.

 

[MoPlaYa]

Do we know when the trailer is coming out?

 

[narrows101]

I wasn't sure where to put this but since one of the producers mentioned it, I guess it's now a FAQ - from Ralph Winter in a larger article:

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081020/LOCAL/810200324

Next up for Winter is "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," a highly anticipated spinoff of the comic book franchise starring Hugh Jackman as the mutant anti-hero. Winter said the summer 2009 release will flesh out Wolverine's troubled relationship with his brother, as well as his romantic past.

What the hell? His brother?
