Another Wolverine Movie is in Negotiations with Hugh Jackman and James Mangold


I don't know about this.

Deadline reported that Twentieth Century Fox has started conversations and negotiations with James Mangold and Hugh Jackman for another Wolverine film.

I wasn't giddy about The Wolverine movie and personally, I'm Wolvie out. But because of the goddamned international box office, they may keep going and going and going.

If they think they can tell another story, then I guess it's cool. But the real question is, 'What is a GOOD Wolverine story to tell?"

Check out the Unused Classic Logan Costume from The Wolverine


Wow, we almost got to see the original Wolvie costume in The Wolverine!

MovieWeb got a great look at the suit. It's from Legacy Effects' sculptor Adam Ross.

He stated:
"This is the costume that I modeled for The Wolverine. It was unused in the final cut of the film. Everything in the box is digitally modeled and 3d printed. There is no cloth or leather used in these parts, but rather texturing added in ZBrush."
Cool, very cool.

The Wolverine didn't Break Records... What does it mean for the other X-Men Movies?


This weekend was good for The Wolverine... But not great.

The film fell below expectations and it didn't get better over the weekend. In fact, the f*ck-up known as, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, did much better. With that said, does this send a message out to Fox about the rest of the X-Films?

This has to hurt their ego a bit. This film was kind of a lead-in to the other X-Films. If folks wasn't excited about Logan's solo affair, will they be excited for him leading the Days of Future Past flick? In the upcoming film, Wolvie is the one traveling in time, not Kitty. I was never sold on this idea. It comes off as another Wolverine story.

But now the jury has spoken, which could spell disaster for X-Men DoFP. I'm probably completely wrong here; X-Men: DoFP could blow up the box office. However, this weekend has possibly changed the game. Are folks getting tired of Wolverine? Will he hurt X-Men: DoFP?

I guess time will tell.

Comic Book History: Wolverine was supposed to be Blonde?


I just saw this on John Byrne's Tumblr page. This is his original idea for Wolverine in 1976!

This is what he had to say about it:
Ah, yes — that was my original suggestion for Wolverine’s face. I sent that to Chris and he responded “You blew it! Dave has already designed Wolvie’s face." 
Not sure how that constituted me “blowing it", but that seemed to be Chris’ favorite phrase at the time. (When he asked me to draw his mother into an issue of MARVEL TEAM-UP, but sent no reference, I did the best I could based on having met her once before, and his response was “You blew it!") 
Later, I modified that Wolverine face considerably, and it became Sabretooth.
Dave’s design was, of course, based on Timberwolf, who he’d been drawing for a while in the Legion of Superheroes.
Hmm, Interesting. I wonder how it would've been with a Blonde Wolvie?

My Vague Review of The Wolverine


So, I just saw The Wolverine and it was very good. A huge improvement from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

This film is loosely based from the Wolverine mini-series back in the early 80s. While the story and characters changed, the film was pretty decent. Here is my vague review of the Marvel mutant film.
  • This film takes place about 3 years after X-Men 3.
  • Logan is hot as a long haired caveman.
  • Nice reference to Logan's sensibility to animals.
  • Jean is in it... a lot.
  • This is true stand alone story.
  • I like that they didn't cram a lot useless characters in this film. Everyone had a purpose.
  • Viper has all the sass of her comic book character. But the tongue was a bit much.
  • Yukio has some of character traits from the comics. It was very good to see that.
  • The fight scenes were on point and amazing.
  • There was good chemistry between Logan and Mariko.
  • The story was fresh, pieces did fit very well.
  • The dialogue wasn't too hokey, in fact, it felt like I was reading a comic book.
  • The bathing scene was nice.
  • Glad that Mariko wasn't weak.
  • The Silver Samurai was interesting.
  • It was so good see Logan become a hero again.
  • Stay to the end... There are a couple of characters waiting for Logan.

Hugh Jackman's Junk causes a Stir in Japan (NSFW)


Wow, I wish I could've seen this.

Hugh was relaxing (naked) in a hot spring in Japan. However, he didn't know that the on-lookers were no pleased with the 'scene'

Here's more:
"The place is separated male and female and they hand you a towel, a small washcloth and there are eight different types of tubs with heats of different temperatures," Jackman told WENN.

"I'm getting so hot and I'm using the towel they gave me to dip into the cold water and put it on my head and I was getting very strange looks from everybody.

"This was at the base of Mount Fuji and I was the only white person there. I thought, 'Maybe this isn't cool and I'm not allowed to be there'.

"I was feelling uncomfortable and finally this guy in the tub grunts and points to my head and then grunts and points to my private parts. Finally I realised the towel was meant to be covering my privates and I'd spent about an hour just waltzing around this place with this thing in one hand and a beer in my other hand!"
Hmmm, I wouldn't complain. In fact, I would enjoy the view.
