Mr. Hakujin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I like it. Nominated for understatement of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This film is set after the previous X-Men films. The reason for that was Mangold and Jackman wanted to create a movie that was in its own world and didn’t have to answer to other movies. That means that all the other X-Men are gone and Jackman said the character is at the lowest point we’ve ever seen him. Since taking on the role in 2000, Jackman has wanted to film this particular story because he loved the idea of Wolverine as a tragic hero. Plus the fact that the character is the opposite of Japanese culture, not being one for tradition or rules, set up a great juxtaposition. Mangold said The Outlaw Josey Wales was a big influence on this film because it was a neat and concise way of immediately setting a character up on a journey of loss, rage and revenge. We all know Wolverine can’t be hurt but, in this film, we’ll learn what his “kryptonite” is. The action is more grounded and real. Mangold said Wolverine won’t be taking down any planes in this movie, a jab at X-Men Origins Wolverine. Going off that grounded action, we’ll get more of the trademark berzerker rage in the character. On the past X-Men films, Jackman never felt he had enough time to get in proper physical shape but this time he did. He wanted to look almost frightening with muscles and veins, a physical representation of the animal rage. He even called Dwayne Johnson for tips on eating right to get that kind of body. Mangold describes the film as a labyrinth, meaning there’s a huge array of people who you can’t peg as bad, good, or question marks. He confirmed there will be other mutants involved, but said where most superhero movies have a clear-cut villain, this one is set up more as a mystery. Where the first few Wolverine movies were all about his origin and how he became this person, this movie surmises that we’re tired of that. It deals with Wolverine’s future and the fact that he’s (their words) immortal. What is it like to live forever? What’s the weight of that? Both Mangold and Jackman agreed the audience had enough of the character looking back and it was time to look forward at how he’s going to live. Jackman said the title, The Wolverine, gives a big clue to the nature of the film. We’ll see every aspect of the character and that the movie is definitely the most action packed Wolverine adventure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 ...it's getting hard to not be hyped for this, despite...you know Yeah, we know. It'll hard to live up to the legacy of X-Men: Origins. Regardless, I think it's best to be cautious for now. Most people were completely not hyped about First Class, and it was a pleasant surprise. On the other hand, it did terribly at the box office and it's a miracle it got a sequel with the same team/cast (even with the director change).

alive she cried Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) X-MEN Producer Hutch Parker Reveals New Story Details About THE WOLVERINE Were you wondering how and why Logan (Hugh Jackman) ends up in Japan after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand? How about the reason behind those scenes we saw being filmed in a WWII Nagasaki camp? Well, The Wolverine producer Hutch Parker reveals all! Josh Wilding - 1/28/2013 Despite the fact that James Mangold's The Wolverine is based on Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's beloved Japan-set arc, little else is known about the plot of the movie. Until now that is. Talking in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, X-Men producer Hutch Parker had this to say about why and how Hugh Jackman's Logan finds himself in Japan. You'll also notice that he offers up an explanation as to why we saw scenes set in a World War II concentration camp being shot (something which initially led to many fans assuming that it would be yet another prequel). "We pick up Logan in a very isolated state, full of self-loathing. He is sought out by a young Asian woman for reasons he doesn't fully understand, who is asking him to follow her to Japan where he is meant to reconnect with someone he spent prison-time with in Nagasaki. And the legacy of that experience - effectively Logan saved him - is that this man is on his deathbed, and is looking to give him a gift, to thank him for the life he's had. But this gift draws Logan into a very complex and very unexpected world within both contemporary Japan, and to some degree the feudal history of Japan. The quality of this story is that it takes Logan on such a challenging personal journey. He's so in isolation, so out of his element. It's a much more powerful distillation of his character than you've seen before. It's why people have always love this particular story."

Reverend Jax Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Are the claws CGI in the first photo? Goddamnit, please let's not repeat one of the mistakes of Origins. If the CGI can't look right, use practical effects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Well, there are behind the scenes photos of him where he has claws, so I'm assuming (and hoping) they're "real". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Yeah, I think Jackman has been quoted as saying the claws are practical and not CGI in this flick. Although I'm assuming some scenes will have CGI claws for practical reasons, but hopefully no shots as bad as that one in the mirror up there. I'd forgotten about that shot. Thanks for nothing, Jax.

Reverend Jax Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Oh lord, that's worse than the terrible first batch of X-Men: First Class posters we got. Like...an entirely new category of bad. That is a terrible poster. Who the fuck at Fox approved that? That has to be, like, an art department guy made like a hundred mock-ups, to be shown to some executive to get comments on the general layout, then when it was time to send a final copy to the printed, they attached the wrong file to the email. That can't have not been some kind of mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah, the only logical reasoning behind someone approving that second image w/ the ninjas especially is either a mistake or some kind of evil April Fool's type prank played a week early.
