Film Review: ‘The Wolverine’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
This second installment in a supposed trilogy on Wolverine is certainly a step in the right direction. Despite ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine‘ being a terrible mess of a film on all levels, it managed to muster almost $400 million worldwide. With James Mangold at the helm this time and leaving off the ‘X-Men‘ title, we have a decent attempt of furthering one of the most beloved heroes in comic book history. Leaving the CG effects on the back-burner this time around, and going with a hand-to-hand combat method with elements of noir and Kurosawa in mind, this ninja-heavy action blockbuster for Fox should garner appropriate returns.

Hi, Bryan Here….
This is the brand new trailer for ‘The Wolverine‘ starring Hugh Jackman. This trailer should be in front of most prints of ‘Fast and Furious 6‘ this weekend, so be sure to look out for that. The film will be in 3D and is directed by James Mangold (‘Copland‘, ‘3:10 To Yuma‘). This is also a prequel to the whole X-Men series and will focus a bit on Logan’s time in Japan, which is a fan favorite in the comics. In this trailer, we get a big look at that side of the story. The film opens July 26th and I hope it’s a bit better than the previous film.
Sink Your Claws into a New Trailer for ‘The Wolverine’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Here is a Japanese trailer for the upcoming ‘Wolverine‘ film titled ‘The Wolverine‘. It showcases a tiny bit of new footage that we haven’t seen from previous trailers. This looks loads better than the previous ‘Wolverine‘ effort already. James Mangold is directing this sequel, which is not as appetizing as Darren Aronofsky directing, but that is long in the past. Mangold did ‘3:10 to Yuma‘, which was great, so let’s hope for something that spectacular, but Wolvy Berserk style. Snikt!
Check Out Hugh Jackman As ‘The Wolverine’ Once Again!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Finally, after several years of going in and out of production, the new Wolverine film is finally taking shape. James Mangold is directing the project. Mangold directed ‘Cop Land’, ‘Girl Interrupted’, ‘3:10 To Yuma’, ‘Identity’, and ‘Walk the Line’ to name a few. Not sure how to take this film yet. At one point, Darren Aronofsky was attached to direct, but that fell through. I was not a fan of ‘Wolverine Origins’, but hopefully this film will be much better.
Darren Aronofsky Might Direct the Wolverine Sequel…
Director Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem For A Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler) did not get the job to direct the new Superman flick, but he is currently in talks to direct the next installment of the Wolverine franchise.
As of now, Aronofsky has a perfect record in filmmaking. But so did Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) before he directed Wolverine. I did not like the Wolverine movie. It was completely sloppy and uninteresting. A terrible film really.
Let’s hope that Aronofsky gets creative control with this film so it will not tarnish his reputation. Plus it would reunite Aronofsky and Hugh Jackman working together. Their previous collaboration was on the sci-fi love story, “The Fountain”.
Looking forward to seeing Wolverine in Japan.
SNIKT!
