The Wolverine situation is something that movie journalists have been talking about since February. You probably didn’t notice because most of us didn’t write about it. And even now, I’m not exactly sure what I could or should say. So I’ll just relay the RUMOR that Jeff Wells is reporting on Hollywood Elsewhere.

The trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine has leaked online, after making a surprise premiere during the Fox panel a couple days ago at Comic Con.  Check out the first and second parts right now.

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?

Here is a round up of stories that just didn’t make the /Film front page, or what we like to call…. Page 2!

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 [...]

Last week Paramount and Fox announced major post-writers strike schedule shuffles. I speculated that because of ‘the rule of threes’, that one more studio would announce a reshuffled calendar by Friday. And here we are on Wednesday, with a bunch of new dates from Disney. Let’s take a look at the new Disney schedule:
The big [...]

In Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Budd has to clean up a particularly fouled strip club restroom, and right now I have to write a Black Eyed Peas casting post. Night capping the last few days of X-Men Origins: Wolverine news, BEP member will.i.am (the one who looks like Wyclef) will star as John Wraith aka [...]

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 [...]

Bad news for Star Trek fans. Paramount has announced that they have decided to push back the release of JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek prequel/reboot from December 25th 2008 to May 8th 2009. The studio claims that the move is part of a major reshuffle in the Paramount/DreamWorks schedule, and studio insiders say they are more [...]

Crawling out of the sewers over at Chud is the news that Liev Schreiber will grow a mane and fangs to play the villain Sabertooth in the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The intense Scream 3 actor had been pegged earlier for the role of William Stryker, a minor character in the canon [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
