The Wolverine

ChrisMC · July 30, 2012, 05:35:08 PM

They finally started filming this today in Australia. It's gonna be set in Japan a'la the Frank miller mini-series from the 80's, quite possibly the series that helped propel the comics version of Wolverine to the top of geek charts back then. Gonna see Silver Samurai on the big screen! From what I hear they are aiming to make this a more adult, R-rated version of Wolverine. The director James Mangold has made 3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line and Cop Land. Hoping for a cool movie! The video below shows the first day of shooting.

Can't wait! A Wolvie movie done right, set in Japan and that story should be awesome!

Hugh Jackman might start to have Brent Spiners problem if this becomes a trilogy...Wolvie isn't supposed to age.

The director is a real talent, I really loved all the movies Chris mentioned above, especially the remake of 3:10 to Yuma. Bruce Wayne was awesome in that ;) And his last film, Knight and Day with Tom Cruise is underrated and a pretty entertaining action flick.

I'm sooo in love with Hugh Jackman! :love He's so great! Can't wait to see him in Les Miserables. That should be interesting.

I hope this will be as awesome as the books that inspired it. Loved that story back in the day.

What the hell! Oh Hugh, you have let Australia down with those abs and stuff.

Is that a real pic from the filming of the movie? It looks not in proportion - especially his head looks too big.

I hope they don't make it with an R rating. PG-13 would be fine but don't you think with an R rating it would lose some of its audience. Wolverine it still very popular with I'm sure all ages. I think it would be a mistake to make it an R rated movie. And to be perfectly honest I don't think I would go see it if it is R rated.

I'm really looking forward to this movie.. Wolverine was never a favorite of mine in the comic books but ever since Hugh took up the role in X-men he's just been so amazing.

New Picture released

That's a great picture!

I really hope that picture is indicative of the tone of the film, the first Wolverine film was pretty average.
