alive she cried Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I had enough of posting in that thread for the fucking abortion of a film. New thread, for new hope. Looking at that thread though, no one seems to have posted about the new director, well for those that still don't know it's James Mangold director of 2007's 3:10 to Yuma, which is a-o-fucking-k with me. okay and now some plot details EXCLUSIVE: Opening Scene Details For THE WOLVERINE; Plus 2 New Set Photos New details about the opening scene of Hugh Jackman's The Wolverine hints at another villain being in the film. The movie will not only borrow elements from Frank Miller's "Japan Saga," but also from Brian K Vaughan's three-part series, Wolverine: Logan. My source has provided ComicBookMovie with the two new set photos and details about an explosive opening scene. My source has explained that this model is of a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War II. This is all part of the opening scene that will feature an atomic bomb exploding! We saw a blurrier version of this model a few days ago (Link) alongside some concept that art that also appears to show a massive explosion from an atomic bomb. This would indicate that The Wolverine will not only incorporate the Silver Samurai, but also another mutant villain, Lt. Ethan Warren. The character was featured in Brian K Vaughan's mini-series, Wolverine: Logan. Read more at http://www.comicbook...jKbfqDPJ6eUc.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 More stuff. As the returning star Huge Jackman tweeted hours ago, filming for his anticipated reprisal in the X-Men: Origins sequel, The Wolverine, has begun in Kurnell of New South Wales, Australia. And local 7News station has featured a birds-eye view of action underway in their coverage of principal photography's commencement. <object id="sbPlayer" width="687" height="392" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/mediaplayer/springboard/youtube/cbm002/ydQxfHcnZto/"></param><param'>http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/mediaplayer/springboard/youtube/cbm002/ydQxfHcnZto/"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/mediaplayer/springboard/youtube/cbm002/ydQxfHcnZto/" width="687" height="392" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object> Hugh Jackman ✔ @ RealHughJackman we're on day 1 of shooting…..wolverine is back…feel so pumped about this one……never felt so ready!!!! will keep y'all posted!!! 30 Jul 12 Reply Retweet Favorite Hugh Jackman ✔ @ RealHughJackman and you know what that means.... the wolverine diet!! this was meal 2 at 9am this morning. pic.twitter.com/X00H6tsc 30 Jul 12 Reply Retweet Favorite Read more at http://www.comicbook...hpsBskSvXlYQ.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 High hopes for this one! I'm glad that they are keeping Jackman around. As bad as X3/Origins were, it wasn't him. They were just shitty movies. I personally would like to see Liev Schreiber back too. I know I've defended him several times as Sabretooth, though I'm not very familiar with the stories they are drawing from so I dunno if he has a place here.

Panch Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Nope. Looks like this will be during Logan's Japan excursion. The BKV book was a retcon, but it was good. Thinking back to the stories they're pooling from, this might be a pretty cool movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 He doesn't, but his Sabretooth was probably cooler than he was in the books. Origins was a shit movie, but it wasn't because of tgose guys. Is that BKV Wolvie book any good? I guess I missed the boat on that one. Dammit Panch and your same-time-typing. Making my posts all irrelevant and shit.

Panch Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm quick on the draw. Ask Cathy ;) I recommend it. It's got a nasty villain that could be weird for live action, but if changed a bit, could be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 by the abysmally low bar of wolvy minis, it's not bad. its not memorable either though, and seeing its flat villain here is...weird. which isnt to say characters like Silver Samurai have a rich history dying to be explored in cinema either, but this guy...if it wasnt BKV nobody've remebered him, i think. still, hope!

Keth Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 New flick won't have any direct ties with 'Origins'. Not huge news, but it is good since they aren't gonna treat it like a sequel (R.I.P. SchreiberTooth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 fucking refreshing that they're leaving that by the wayside...yeah, losing a good creed is the biggest loss but it's a worthy price to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Damnit, the Silver Samurai and bone claw pics are in danger of getting my hopes up this movie will actually be good.

Keth Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Whoa whoa, let's not go crazy. At least keep it at Ghost Rider 1.

Mangold fires some shots http://www.comicbook...s/news/?a=69283 "It's rooted in drama. Effectively almost every superhero film, in a sense, revolves around some large group of humanity that's either killed or held hostage while superheroes battle it out with supervilains. The essential driving forces of this movie are interpersonal and dramatic, about love, bitterness, loss, vengeance, redemption, depression, suicide, conquering inner demons - it's going to make it a very different film than people have seen. The cultural qualities that Japan and its people bring - honour, a sense of duty, of conflict - really fit beautifully around Logan. Our film find Logan at a point where he's very much a ronin - a samurai without a master. Anyone he ever had a connection to is either dead or gone. When I say realistic, what I mean is that it's not built on 70-foot lizards from outer space. Our goal is to try to be a little less super-CG and wires, and a little more hardcore. I want the film to feel analogue. You always have large-scale action and adventure - it wouldn't be a movie about gods if you didn't have epic physicality. But we all feel we're making a Japanese noir picture with tentpole action in it." wait where'd you guys see silver samurai?
