There are four superhero movies coming out this year. The Wolverine is the one that I keep forgetting is happening. It’s not the movie’s fault… wait, yes it is. Because I mean, good grief, Wolverine has already been the star of four other movies. I tire of this hairy immortal Canadian with metal claws.
Anyway, a new one-minute trailer for the film premiered at CinemaCon, and now it’s online for the world to see. | Full Story

The actor was just cast in Paramount’s newest project Six Years, based on a novel by New York Times Bestselling author, Harlan Coben. Jackman, a man of many talents, is certainly in high demand these days, so Six Years must be something special.

X-Men director, Bryan Singer, has his sights set on Peter Dinklage for X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Nothing is confirmed yet, but according to a Deadline.com exclusive, if Singer has his way, Dinklage will join the cast.
Peter Dinklage has an Emmy for his performance as Tyron Lannister on the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. The actor also voiced Captain Gutt in Ice Age: Continental Drift, played Liz Lemon’s short-term boyfriend on 30 Rock, and a children’s book editor with a short fuse in the holiday favorite, Elf.
Including Dinklage in the the mix would add yet another power player in an already stacked cast. | Full Story
On the heels of announcing Adele’s musical performance in the James Bond tribute, the 85th Annual Academy Awards will also feature a tribute to musicals over the last ten years. Chicago, Dreamgirls, and, of course, Les Misérables will be featured in the segment.

A new image has been released for The Wolverine, showcasing the famous mutant as he bears his teeth and two claws in what has become his most famous pose.
The image was leaked sometime last week, but it was far too fuzzy and low-res to be worth talking about. The newer, hi-res picture looks far more attractive. The picture shows Hugh Jackman as the titular Wolverine in what can only be described as a Japanese style house late at night. | Full Story
It’s official – Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past. This comes as little surprise considering the actor has never passed up an opportunity to don adamantium claws and kick some major mutant and human tail. Last month, Who Got The Role reported Jackman was in negotiations, but X-men director and producer, Bryan Singer, confirmed the news last night. He proudly tweeted,”I would officially like to welcome @RealHughJackman to the cast of #Xmen Days of Future Past. | Full Story
So… why would Wolverine use a katana? I mean, he already has those claws, so what could he do with- you know what, never mind. It looks cool – that’s all that matters.
Anyhoo, another poster has come out for The Wolverine, which is most definitely the popular X-Man’s first solo movie, and not a sequel to any other movie. Yep. The film, directed by James Mangold, finds Wolverine (Jean Valjean) in Japan, battling other mutants, as one does when abroad. | Full Story

Movies have enriched Dan Schindel's life so much that he decided
the best way to give back was to become a critic. In addition to Who Got the
Role?, he writes for ScreenPicks, We Are Movie Geeks, Off to
See the Elephant, and several other sites. He spent a year watching and
reviewing a documentary every day for his blog, Days of Docs, so now he
knows everything.
