Hugh Jackman talks about 'The Wolverine' Script


With Darren Aronofsky no longer on the Wolverine flick, many of us were scared that we would get another sad X-Men movie. But, Hugh Jackman believes we will get a great film:

“We had a script that was under Darren Aronofsky’s directorial—it’s 85 percent the same.  Darren took it in a Darren Aronofsky way and it’s a version I know fans would have liked to have seen – I would have loved to have seen it.  James Mangold’s version of the script brought Mark Bomback on. We always had a strong base there.  This is the best script we have had, which is precisely why Darren signed on. 

I tried to get Darren to do X3 and Wolverine and he was always like, ‘It’s not really for me.’ I knew he was looking for a comic book movie and he read this one and he goes, ‘Hey, this is the best one I’ve ever read.’  So there is a lot of meat on the bone there.  Now, Mark and Jim have taken it and I think that it as strong, if not stronger, than what we would have had with Darren.”
Good, keep as much 'Darren' on this movie as possible. We need a good mutant flick.

The first Wolverine movie sucked, I just think he is not the most interesting character from the X-Men movie franchise. So I really don't care.

I want a Storm movie!
