Wolverine: Set Reports/Filming Update(s)

[Neto Magnus]

I hope Pink Beaver makes a cameo too.

 

[BMM]

Haha.

 

[Loganbabe]

I'm sure there will be some shirtless/naked action in the film, Loganbaby

OH YES!!!!
One can always hope! t:

 

[R0rschach]

I think you mean Silver Fox. Different colour, different animal!

Black Cat is a Spider-Man character and is not a mutant.

Silver Fox wasn't a mutant either.

 

[merbass]

There is a comic called " wolverine and black cat " and is one of the source of the inspiration for wolverine movie. That's why i wondered and asked you guys whether she is a mutant in x men world.

 

[X-Maniac]

Silver Fox wasn't a mutant either.

Oh yes she was. Do your research.

 

[Congo Jack]

Silver Fox wasn't a mutant either.

Oh yes she was. Do your research.

That's debatable either way, but it's more likely that Fox was a mutant. As far as I'm aware, there has never been any definite on-panel confirmation that Silver Fox is a mutant, just hints towards it.

 

[the a1ant]

Silverfox's wiki page says she was given a healing factor via Weapon X, and that she ages much slower because of it. It goes on to meantion that while she has a healing factor, it's nowhere near as powerful as Wolverine's (or Sabertooth's). But like Congo said, there's never been any direct mention if she was or wasn't a mutant.

There is a comic called " wolverine and black cat " and is one of the source of the inspiration for wolverine movie. That's why i wondered and asked you guys whether she is a mutant in x men world.

Shanghaied and transported to a remote desert island, Wolverine and the Black Cat find themselves at the centre of a deadly game. A team of filthy-rich hunters have slapped down some serious cash for the opportunity to hunt the most dangerous prey on the planet, and they've got the high-tech weapons to do just that. Like it or not, the key to Logan and Felicia's survival just might be their ability to cooperate long enough to evade their hunters and uncover the identity of the deadly ringmaster.


So you're basically saying a team of filthy-rich hunters have slapped down cash to hunt Wolverine, who's on a remote island?

X-Maniac is correct, Silver Fox was/is a mutant, although the stories never defined her as such.
My apologies.

Not to completely derail this thread with Silver Fox is/isn't a mutant talk, but marvel.com, despite being the official site, isn't exactly the most accurate source - the whole Erista/Wolverine's son nonsense is testament to this. There are important details wrong in that main body of text - and does this really sound right to anyone: "Silver Fox was a mutant whose superhuman powers were never revealed", gah! Terrible biography writing.

I'm sure I recall a story in which she was named as being a mutant...but her powers were never described or shown.

This Wolverine movie is said to be including Silver Fox, combining her with the non-mutant Wolverine character Kayla to create 'Kayla Silverfox', an Inuit with the power of mind control. An acceptable alteration, I think.

Here's a bit about Kayla, the character being merged with Silver Fox: http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/kaylawolv.htm

It doesn't actually matter if 'Kayla Silverfox' is a mutant or not, in the comics or in the movie. I just want a good movie...

EDIT: I actually want more than 'just' a good movie. I also want one that represents the spirit and themes of the comicbook lore. I want action, but also soul and feeling. And I want an extended edition of X3 and an X4.

 

[Legion]

I'm pretty sure Silver Fox was born a human and later through genetic tampering she had an ant-aging factor.

On the cover of Wolverine 62 she yells "Die, Mutants!" with a large gun pointing at Wolverine and Sabretooth suggesting that she is a human and bigot towards mutants.

There's alittle bit of twist there cuz on the night of her apparant murder Logan couldn't get any help from the locals because of their prejudice towards her Native American ancestry.

 

[Apollo]

Wolverine was the only thing i liked in X-men 3

I hope This movie is going to be better. and I'm sure it will!

 

[GNR]

^ Sabretooth is definitely in this film

I love that picture. I'm sure there will be some shirtless/naked action in the film, Loganbaby

Good to hear.

Sun sets on Australia shootBy Erin McWhirter
December 20, 2007 12:00am

WITH the stench of cows' manure lingering in the air, their faces smeared with dirt and bodies drenched in sweat, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman finally dimmed the lights on Outback epic Australia yesterday after a gruelling nine-month shoot.

Relaxed and glowing, Kidman played out her final scenes as English aristocrat Lady Sarah Ashley in the $100 million-plus Baz Luhrmann production, as her country crooning husband Keith Urban watched proudly from the wings.

Trembling with emotion the Academy Award winner launched into her final take, letting out a shocking scream, before cradling 11-year-old actor Brandon Walters in her arms.

The pivotal scene, filmed at Sydney's Fox Studios, revolves around Aboriginal youngster Nullah (Walters) being forced to a cliff edge by a herd of stampeding cattle, his life left hanging in the balance.

Kidman, 40, said while she was looking forward to a break over Christmas, the anxiety of the curtain finally falling on the film hit her during a dream on the eve of her final scene.

"Last night I was crying in a dream and I think it was a bit of anxiety about finishing," she admitted.

"I am very ingratiated having done this film. I have wanted to do it since I was 14 and I didn't know what it was, but I knew there was something."

The tall beauty said it was lovely to be able to share the experience with Urban, a regular visitor to the set.

Urban arrived in the country yesterday fresh from two weeks touring Canada, and Kidman said it was great to have him there.

Looking bronzed and in shape in preparation for his role in Wolverine, leading man Jackman, 39, who plays a drover and Kidman's love interest in the World War II piece, will film his final scene today.

"If you could tick any box off a job, this has got every box ticked," he said, adding it felt "surreal" to finish. "Part of me doesn't want to let this go. It's probably the best movie I've ever worked on. It's hard to let go of."

While eating from a plate of broccoli, Jackman said he would have three weeks off before throwing himself into physically demanding sci-fi thriller Wolverine.

"I literally eat every three hours," Jackman said of his preparation.

Set in Australia's northern Outback, the film follows the life of Lady Sarah Ashley, who travels halfway across the world to inherit a massive Northern Territory cattle station.

For more than seven years, Kidman and Luhrmann have brainstormed over the project, with production finally beginning in April.

"Out of those conversations, it was, 'We have to do something for this country', because (of) the landscape here, the essence and nature of being Australia and what that is," Kidman said. "He started his research and here we are."

Cast and crew have trekked across Australia to film in Sydney, Kununurra, Darwin and Bowen.

While Moulin Rouge!, Romeo and Juliet and Strictly Ballroom director Luhrmann promises he will not deliver the world "another half-baked" film epic, he admitted to feeling the pressure for the film to perform when released at Christmas next year.

"The expectations are enormous, the pressure of that (is) not comfortable," he said. "It wouldn't be comfortable going into an Olympics, I wouldn't like to be Ian Thorpe at an Olympic swim because you are up against the best in the world, you represent your country and if it doesn't play the risk is enormous."

So the darn thing starts filming in three weeks and other than Hugh, we have no confirmed word as to who is in it.

Well it's nice to know Mr Jackman is keeping himself ready and prioritising 'Wolverine' and not letting something else completely hog his attention.

I forgot about those. That reminds of how pissed I was with Silver Fox's character. I hope they change it so she has a bigger part like in the comics.

Looks like Hugh is going to have to grow that beard again - since AUSTRALIA ended filming yesterday - he shaved!

http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/12/20/hugh-jackman-clean-shaven/

 

[the a1ant]

I bet it feels good to get rid of that beard. His face can breathe now, lol. I hope he enjoys his break

 

[narrows101]

Here's another - I believe that's Michael Ryan with him, his personal trainer, who gets him in shape for Wolverine.

 

[Advanced Dark]

I could see Hugh restarting Mad Max.

 

[Electrix]

If is doesn't grow back in 3 weeks I am sure the make up department can come up with something

 

[narrows101]

I have no doubt he can grow it back in time - he has said his beard grows fairly quickly.

 

[VICTORVONDOOMX]

That sounds like a reality show.

Yes... it requires no writing.
