I have high hopes for this. After the kick in the nuts of a let down that was X3, I so want this to be a decent flick. The character deserves it. I have faith that G. Hood can deliver something of good quality and be respectful to the character(s). Unlike Ratner, who quite simply was not good enough to follow in Singer's footsetps.
Vinny Jones better not be anywhere near this. There was a hint of nepotist casting from his association with Vaughn (who was briefly attached as X3 director) that ch More

Have to say in this first pic he looks more like Logan did in the comics than he ever did in any of the X Men movies which can only be a good thing . Is it too much to ask that they do the whole Weapon X gig ?? More

...with your lack of comic book knowledge. Wolverine's claws were originally made of bone, but the claws thmselves and their casing were coated with adamantium. The technology to coat bones with metal is actually far more believalbe than to link prosthetic claws to someonws nervous system wo that they could control them More

isnt it supposed to be that wolverine starts out as a normal guy who has bone claws and then when he becomes part of weapon x they add the adamantium to the already existing claws. i dont know but im sure i heard that somewhere..
, sort of of. Initially in the comics it was always implied that the claws were added by Weapon X, but then an Origin book was released which gave him bone claws and in the process changed about 30 years of canon law. Origin was More

| RE: First Pic From Wolverine The Movie! |
Still skeptical about this one, but I was very, very pleased when Liev Schreiber was included in the cast, and I have to say, the new pic of Jackman looks extremely cool, he's gotten in even better shape than he was in the X-Men films it seems, and he looks extremely menacing with teeth bared and claws out.

greed. I mean, why not just 'Wolverine'? Whats wrong with that for a title?
Is it just me or do is claws look extra long in this pic? Liev Shreiber is a good choice also, this looks good to me. I'm just glad and excited that they are MAKING a movie that centres on Wolverine (although, the first two XMen kind of did anyway!)

Hope this works for Jackman and Wolvie fans.
The only unknown is the director Gavin Hood. Tsotsi was good, but SA directors don't normally have a good track record with Hollywood blockbusters. I know its unfair to generalise and pigeon-hole him like this, so fingers crossed.
And please let them finally nail(and the source of?) Wolvie's rage. More

Dont worry,...Ratners nowhere near this one! And remember Empire gave 5 stars to both Batman Begins and Superman Returns, both of which are comic book franchises that have already been done to death, cleverly rehatched by serious directors with belting results! ....see any similarities??

Lookin' veeeeerrrrrry cool! His hair looks a bit quiffy, but, whatever. I hope they stick with the comic-book origin and show him as a child in the late 1800's. He's supposed to be born around 1882 or something. First drafted into the military as a subject of the common wealth (Canada) for The First World War, Traveled to Japan after that, Recruited as a secret service assasin in the early 50's, covert opps in the 60's where he apparently had a mission in Dallas (hint hint) in november of '63.

| Jackman needs prestige |
I kinda feel that this movie needs to deliver for Jackman. His frontman status is in jeopardy with The Prestige being a notable exception (but arguably Christian Bale stole the show?). Maybe post-Rambo there will be some old-skool action flicks looking for a hero. Jackson isn't a revisionist - he looks the part and they should write the part for him.
On the Wolverine front, *fan-boys are happy that the claws and skeleton are grafted and attached - just could he be a better fighter? Yeah, he can More
