Filmonic sent over this new promo shot of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The scan comes from the latest issue of Empire Magazine. I heard that Fox isn’t holding a panel for this film at Comic Con… which is kinda strange, don’tcha think?

Even though his stories are not usually something typical of interest to me, I have always loved Baz Luhrmann for his visuals. His new film Australia is a period love story, but the beautiful cinematography immediately grabbed hold of my inner cinephile heart. That said, I’m not sure I’ll like this film as much as [...]

“So, it’s a comic book, a video game and a movie, with maybe another movie after that. Sounds good.”
Today, I had to buy some contacts, but it took forever. So, I started browsing the glasses. Is there a single A-thru-C lister without a line of cheesy glasses? American Idol reading glasses? Ignorance is bliss. [...]

His recent, loud homage to Mad Max and killer viruses, Doomsday, was mostly ignored and deflated quickly at the box office, but genre director Neil Marshall is still going strong. He’s now attached to his second project of the month, an L.A.-set action mystery vehicle for Hugh Jackman at Universal entitled Drive that looks to [...]

The new issue of Empire Magazine (the one with Robert Downey Jr. on the cover) offers some interesting new photos from Universal’s The Incredible Hulk sequel/reboot, and 20th Century Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The first from The Incredible Hulk shows Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, oabout to hulk out. The second photo gives us a [...]

If you’re asking who Taylor Kitsch is and why he’s got dibbs on playing Gambit, one of the most anticipated and liked X-Men ever, check out the following YouTube interview to get a nice idea of his mannerisms and his voice. My knee-jerk reaction was disappointment, but he seems like he could be a good [...]

According to AICN, Ryan Reynolds (Definitely, Maybe) will definitely be suiting up to play anti-hero Deadpool in 2009’s first X-Men spinoff X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Reynolds has been attached to the role for some time, including the character’s own flick. This news arrives after several bits of casting info for the film have popped up [...]

After a misfire earlier this week, Fox has decided to reveal the first photo of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which will hit theaters on May 1st 2009 (a week prior to Star Trek).

Australian soap star turned late-90’s pop singer Natalie Imbruglia (remember her one hit wonder Torn?) auditioned for a role in Gavin Hood’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The singer/songwriter supposedly tested two weeks ago for a role in the upcoming X-Men prequel/spin-off film starring Hugh Jackman. No word on the role that she read for, or if [...]

I hate to do another compilation post, but I have a lot of first look production photos to show you.

The official title of Gavin Hood’s Wolverine X-Men spinoff feature film is X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which makes complete sense. I’m guessing that David Goyer’s Magneto spin-off will get the same title treatment (X-Men Origins: Magneto).
Liev Schrieber (The Hurricane, The Painted Veil) is in final talks to star as William Stryker, who was played by Brian [...]

20th Century Fox and Hugh Jackman have brought Swordfish and Hitman screenwriter Skip Woods to revise (”more than a polish”) David Benioff’s draft for the upcoming X-Men spin-off prequel, Wolverine. Director Gavid Wood, whose film Tsotsi won the Academy Award in 2006 for Best Foreign Language Film, has been out promoting his new film Rendition, [...]

20th Century Fox has hired Gavin Hood to direct the X-Men spin-off film Wolverine. Scripted by David 25th Hour scribe Benioff, Wolverine will start Hugh Jackman, who played the character in the X-Man series. Hood is the South African director whose 2005 film Tsotsi won the best foreign film at the Academy Awards. Fox supposedly [...]

A recent article in the Telegraph (UK) states that Rush Hour and X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner is directing the upcoming Wolverine spin-off movie starring Hugh Jackman. Was this a mess-up by a reputable newspaper or credible information that accidently slipped into the article? I’m guessing it’s just an error since Ratner is [...]
