Mangold Talks ‘The Wolverine’

Wolverine is clearly the most iconic of the X-Men. I actually find the characters of Professor X and Magneto more interesting thanks to their friendship/rivalry, but for sheer entertainment value Wolverine has it in the bag. Which is why he’s the character getting multiple sequels. The Wolverine is next on the agenda. The Wolverine is...

Jackman: ‘The Wolverine’ May Be R-Rated

In many ways comic book heroes have been watered down over the past few years in order to appeal to the widest range of ages and interests possible. But that desire to add mass, mainstream appeal to the genre means R-rated comic book movies are few and far between. Perhaps The Wolverine will change all...

‘Wolverine’ In Japan Is A Go

Not everyone loved X-men Origins: Wolverine. And while it didn’t live up to the promise of the X-Men trilogy proper, it did enough to justify keeping the series and the character alive. However, this time Wolverine is heading for Japan. This was rumored last year when talk of a sequel began. Hugh Jackman has, in...

Jackman Talks ‘Wolverine’ Sequel

Although some critics and fans disliked the first of the X-Men Origins spin-off movies, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I thought it was great. It covered the essentials, showing how Logan became Wolverine, and was action-filled to boot. What was there to complain about? A sequel was talked about immediately after the first film was released thanks...

Reynolds Talks ‘Deadpool’ Spin-Off

Movies based on comic books are big business, almost guaranteed to make a profit no matter how crap they may be thanks to an existing fan base who will soak up anything thrown at them. Which means that the studios are eager to keep the releases coming, eyeing a continual and unbroken run of movies...

‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Movie Review – Revenge Looks Fantastic

After Spider-Man, X-Men is my favorite modern comic book movie series. X-Men 1 and 2 were superb and I even like the oft-condemned X-Men: The Last Stand. Seriously, it wasn’t that bad. And now we have the first in what it’s hoped will be a long succession of Origins spin-offs. X-Men Origins: Wolverine naturally tells...

Jackman Nearly Quit As ‘Wolverine’

X-Men Origins: Wolverine has arrived… officially. Some of you may already have seen a rough cut of the spin-off by downloading the torrent but most of us will be seeing it this weekend fresh and unsullied. Hugh Jackman once again plays the gruff hero, but it so nearly didn’t happen. I love all three of...

‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Has Multiple Endings?

Yesterday we reported how the final version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine was likely to be almost exactly the same as the version that leaked on to torrent sites at the beginning of April. However, that may not quite be the case – the ending of the movie you see may be slightly different. First Showing...

Leaked ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Could Be Identical To Final Release

April started with a bang as X-Men Origins: Wolverine was leaked to torrent sites and spread across the Internet like wildfire a month before it was due for release. As far as I’m aware they still haven’t caught the person responsible for this serious breach of copyright. It was always known that the leaked version...

‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Leaks

The fact that movies leak online will be known by all but the most innocent or law-abiding in this day and age. These usually happen just before a movie is released, with days rather than weeks the delay between a film hitting torrent sites and actually being officially released. However, X-Men Origins: Wolverine has leaked...

Jackman Defends ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

There was speculation over the weekend that things weren’t going according to plan with the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Even though the film is due for release in May, it’s as-yet unfinished, with re-shoots and additional filming taking place this month. But there’s no need to panic, as the star of the show, Hugh Jackman...

Ian McKellen Keen On ‘X-Men’ Magneto Spin-Off

The X-Men films are, along with Spider-Man, my favourite of the current crop of comic book hero movies. Although Iron Man is now up there too, so long as the sequel doesn’t mess it up. So I’m pleased that even though the trilogy is done and dusted, there are set to be more X-Men films...
