WOLVERINE's Gavin Hood At Comic Con?

[Snikt]

I wouldn't mind hearing from a Mod on this. They don't have to tell us anything, but it would be nice to understand maybe a little bit why it was closed down.

The original poster is known on the Dragonball forum for posting negative comments, claiming he has an inside source which he can't reveal, who says the movie is going to be a disaster but of course can't provide anything to back it up.

I suspect he got tired of that forum and tried to move in here. His thread was removed because it was a lie.

 

[Angamb]

the interesting issue is that both movies are from Fox.....

maybe he really has a source, at the end of the day...

 

[BMM]

I remember that. Was that the same person who posted photos claiming she worked for Fox, then she really didn't?

I think those were two different people, but I could be wrong. Haha. It's been a while.

There won't be a panel but some of the people involved the in the process of bringing Wolverine to the big screen will be at the Con (besides co-creator Len Wein).

I'm guessing that there's a chance that some form of preproduction artwork will be shown by one of these people.

Awesome! As I remember the person who was banned in the X3 forums was banned for continuously posting illegal pictures from the movie, as in they didn't have permission from 20th Century Fox to post them.

 

[danoyse]

I think she was the one who claimed to work for Fox.

Phillip Boutte, Jr. also worked on wolverine
