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
More photos have come on the scene from the set of The Wolverine, which is nearing the end of post-production and hits theaters July 26 2013.
In the behind the scene photos, the bullet train sequence is undergoing minor set design adjustments before cameras begin to roll. Another photo features the grand funeral scene at a traditional Japanese thatched roof building. One more image shows a gunman attacking the temple. | Full Story
After releasing a number of teasers and posters earlier this week, The Wolverine trailer has finally been unleashed, just as Twentieth Century Fox promised they would.
In the full length clip the plot points become even clearer. A scraggly, overgrown beard Logan (Hugh Jackman) travels to Japan to meet an old friend whose life he saved. It appears the clawed mutant hero is severely depressed with having to live forever because of his ability to rapidly regenerate practically making him indestructible. | Full Story
Check out these new photos that surfaced online today via EW featuring The Wolverine, Yukio and Viper.
In the Twentieth Century film the wolverine/Logan ventures into modern day Japan, While being out of his depth in an unknown world, he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality. | Full Story
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
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
How do you solve a problem like Wolverine? Arguably Marvel’s most iconic on-screen character, Wolverine first broke out in X-Men. Filmmakers have been trying to build a new X-Men/Wolverine film franchise since the disappointing X-Men: The Last Stand, including the ill-fated spin-off X-Men Origins. After the failure of that prequel effort, how do you convince viewers another Wolverine movie is worth their time?
With a seriously awesome teaser poster, of course. | Full Story
More set photos surfaced online from The Wolverine, this time calling attention to actress Svetlana Khodchenkova in costume as Viper.
In the comic books, Viper is a professional terrorist and comes into conflict with many superheroes from the Avengers and X-Men universe. While in battle, she nearly killed Rogue and Storm on two separate occasions. Viper also managed to blackmail Wolverine into marrying her in order to secure her criminal empire, but after Wolverine demanded a divorce, it was revealed that Viper actually had real feelings for Wolverine. | Full Story
Some brand new set photos from The Wolverine has surfaced online today, featuring Hugh Jackman and Rila Fukushima. This comes just a week after production released an official photo of wolverine, brandishing his claws.
A month ago, a video also surfaced showing a glimpse of what the set looks like while shooting in Kurnell, Australia. Production is currently shooting in Tokyo, Japan and director James Mangold have enlisted action stars Will Yun Lee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, and Brian Tee to join Jackman in the cast. | 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.
