Fox & Jackman Sign a Deal: "Wolverine" is the Result
Looks like we'll have just a little bit more of "Wolverine" to kick around once "X-Men 3" comes and goes. Variety reports of a freshly-inked deal between Fox and Hugh Jackman's Seed Productions that will bring the actor a variety of new projects and different characters.
But first, Hugh will act as lead actor and producer in a "Wolverine" spinoff. The actor already has a script, written by David Benioff ("Troy"), that he thinks is rock-solid, so we can expect "Wolverine" to head into production relatively soon. Well, soon after "X3" wraps, anyway.

on Jun 10 2005 02:21 AM This is great news, but I'm fearing we'll have yet another neverending discussion about the director... (Reply to this) |

on Jun 10 2005 06:03 AM This has the potential to be really, really, really good. I always loved the pathos and nobility of the Wolverine story. It inspired probably my best character to date, actually. On the other hand, this also has the potential to be really, really, really disappointing. I hope to Gods its number one that comes true, and not number two. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 10 2005 08:56 AM Hey, that'd be a good title for a superhero movie parody. Keep it in mind, jeanfc (Reply to this) |

on Jun 10 2005 02:11 PM The way Marvels films have headed lately, I won't get my hopes up. The saturation has begun. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 10 2005 08:18 PM In reply to this comment (#823015) Nothing like Wolverine, in the end. Y'see, I thought it'd be interesting to have a character with no memory but who was violent and unpredictable. In the end I did away with the amnesia part on the grounds that it was too cliche'd, but kept the violent and unpredictable part. What I ended up with was a character called Syrinx Silvereye, who has psychic powers and is the most ambiguous character in my little opus of novels. The reader never really knows if she's good or bad, because the things she does don't fit into either catergory... If you really want to know more, then visit www.kjtaylor.com and read the novel called 'The Last Thief'. It's one of my best. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 11 2005 02:17 AM the should get Takeshi Miike to direct it. the only way i'll see the movie though is if its at least R rated and bloody as hell. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 12 2005 08:14 PM [b]Origin[/b] Wouldn't mind if it is half as good good as Wolverine: Origin. Little sick boy, James Howlett becomes badass Wolvie. That sounds good, but I doubt they'll be doing that. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 15 2005 07:38 PM I just can't help but feel that this is a redux of what happened in the X-men video game world. A jewel like X-Men Legends comes out, using the whole team, with bastard-child Wolverine spinoff dragging along (X2: Wolerine's Revenge). I'm keeping my fingers crossed. P.S. I agree. A film version of Origin would be awesome. (Reply to this) |
