X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE WEBSITE UPDATE & INTERNATIONAL POSTERS

I realized that as I have been late in blogging about the X-Men Origins: Wolverine official website-update (which now features individual character-profiles - of all the boys excluding Wade Wilson aka Deadpool) - that the international posters found on IESB [via MovieWeb] - were the same images from the said-website. To wit:

Peep below for more screengrabs-grabbed from your's truly and pop by the flash-heavy website @ www.x-menorigins.com/us

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE FINAL TRAILER

Was Logan tracking a young Scott Summers aka Cyclops? The future team-leader of Professor Xavier's X-MEN? (Then Jean Grey must've really been jailbait for Wolverine then ... *yikes*). Listed in IMDB is "Tim Pocock" as "Scott Summers". Wow. I didn't know that :p

WOLVERINE ONE-SHEET

Logan's too cheap to go to the barbers ... or perhaps his healing factor makes dead hair-cells "alive"? If not, he could totally give Professor Xavier a run for the baldie-look... heh.

WEAPON-X PROGRAM GROUP SHOT

Hugh Jackman aka James Logan aka Wolverine emails AICN with an exclusive image from the X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE feature film [tagged] along with a note about the current additional filming in Vancouver (read it HERE)

Shown above (L-R): Ryan Reynolds as "Wade Wilson" aka DEADPOOL / Taylor Kitsch as "Remy LeBeau" aka GAMBIT / Hugh Jackman as WOLVERINE / Liev Schreiber as "Victor Creed" akas SABRETOOTH and Lynn Collins as SILVER FOX. With the exception of Gambit, and some missing members - this would've made a pretty neat Weapon-X Program group-shot, innit? [WHAT]

WOLVERINE @ SAN DIEGO COMIC CONVENTION 2008

a teaser trailer for X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE was shown during San Diego Comic Convention 2008 and a bootleg-version has surfaced unto the web (which no doubt will not last for long) - also features a laundry-list of fellow mutants, including (speculation): Gambit, Maverick, Wraith, Emma Frost, Silver Fox, Blob Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool) and of coz, Sabretooth.



Hugh Jackman made a suprise visit and these are some videos of
the frenzy that ensued, including Hugh thanking comicbook-fans:

Hugh Jackman interviewed by IGN:

snikt!

now that's the Wolverine i remember!
"The film will trace Wolverine's past as he discovers the world of mutants and, ultimately, the ominous Weapon X program, which turns people into living weapons.

Jackman is tight-lipped on plot details, though he says the film will hardly be a one-mutant story.

Wolverine's nemesis Sabretooth "is going to play a big part in it. And there will be a good bit of cameos" of new and familiar mutants, he says. "But you can't give too much away, because fans are pretty hard-core. Their expectations go up a level every time you come out with a new film.""

Directed by Gavin Hood and co-starring Liev Schreiber, X-Men Origins: Wolverine hits theaters on May 1, 2009.

about that wolverine movie

what you should know about the upcoming solo-Xmen Wolverine-movie [via Wizard]:

01. it is written by David Benioff (Troy, The Kite Runner) and will be directed by Oscar-winner, Gavin Hood (2005 film "Tsotsi" won the Oscar for Best Foreign-Language Film)

02. based on info from insiders who say they’ve read Benioff’s script, get ready for all kinds of prequel action as Wolverine’s first ties to Weapon X, his first run-in with Victor Creed (aka Sabretooth), his bonding with adamantium and his feral origins are explored.

03. Sources also mentioned scenes featuring Wolverine in Vietnam, a pre-X-Men love interest for the furry mutant and character names familiar to comic fans such as the teleporter John Wraith, who served with Wolverine on special ops missions as part of Team X, along with Fred J. Dukes (aka the Blob).

04. no other students or faculty from the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters are set to appear. “It’s a prequel, so there won’t be many. There will be other new characters.” - says Hugh Jackman.

05. Logan will not be having any Japan-flashbacks (in this installment) - so no Mariko nor Silver Samurai? :p

06. Brian Cox, though, confirmed his character, William Stryker from “X2: X-Men United,” will return to unload untold amounts of crap on Wolvie’s life ... according to Brian Cox, the movie is “set 17 years ago.”

07. Tyler Mane, who appeared as Sabretooth in “X-Men,” reportedly claimed to be in talks for the film. Specifically, Mane says he’s discussed starring as Victor Creed, the man who one day becomes Sabretooth.

08. “What we need to do is establish who he is and find out how he became Wolverine. And by the end of the movie, I want it to be that you definitely knew who this guy was, like Mad Max and Dirty Harry. He’s a good guy, but he’s not a nice guy. He’s just the guy you want on your side.”

frankly, i've had my issues with the celluloid-Wolverine - ever since X1, in what i reckon is yet another Hollywood-rape of a comicbook-character! the comicbook Wolverine (i grew-up with and lurve) is 5 ft 3"-tall [via] little bundle of bound feral animal in human-form, while Hugh Jackman towers above the other X-Men at 6 ft+ tall?

... well, three movies in, i can hardly complain anymore, can't i? *heh*
