Member AlbertV Posted October 28, 2010 Member Share Posted October 28, 2010 Information from Collider Shooting is scheduled to begin in March in New York then Japan, where the sequel is set. Hugh Jackman returns to play Logan/Wolverine. This time, the now amnesiac mutant with the adamantium claws goes to Japan, where he falls for the daughter of a Yakuza crime boss. Christopher McQuarrie wrote the screenplay. It looks like Darren Aranofsky will be directing the sequel, although as of two weeks ago, he was in final negotiations with Jackman pushing for him since they worked well together on THE FOUNTAIN.

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 16, 2010 Member Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hey, I found this. http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/110465-aronofsky-reveals-title-for next wolverine-movie I'm kind of glad this won't be a continuation but a stand alone feature. Maybe the fanboys won't freak out so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member inframan Posted November 18, 2010 Member Share Posted November 18, 2010 Sounds like the first Wolverine mini series, I always thought that would make a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TheDenizen Posted July 27, 2011 Member Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well the first movie was really terrible, but I love the Wovlerine character and the Japanese setting is a definite plus. I'm cautiously optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted August 25, 2011 Author Member Share Posted August 25, 2011 Dark Horizons: 20th Century Fox looks to have pushed back production on "The Wolverine" by several months with filming now expected to begin in Spring 2012, not this Fall in Canada as previously reported (but never officially confirmed). Deadline says that though the script and story are set in Japan, weather-related considerations has made shooting their a tricky proposition. The location might switch to Canada exclusively or involve a combination of the two countries. James Mangold remains attached to direct the project which will begin shooting as soon as Hugh Jackman finishes the "Les Miserables" film adaptation.

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted October 29, 2011 Member Share Posted October 29, 2011 Here's a link to James Mangold discussing his plans for the film. http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/168759-james-mangold-on-his-plans-for-the-wolverine What interested me most was this statement: "[it's] much more about Logan getting lost in this very unique and insulated world of Japanese culture, gangster culture, and ninja culture," he explains. "The fighting is going to be unique because it's all influenced by Japanese martial arts..." Is this what I've longed for? Wolverine throwing down with some ninjas? I hope they keep a good portion of the fights grounded. And if Logan is facing off against guys with swords, shuriken, and the like, then there better be some bloody fights that don't scrimp on the.........well, blood obviously.

I'd love to see something that looked like the bloody goodness that is NINJA ASSASSIN, but starring Wolverine, and shot in better lit sets with more grounded fighting.

Member AlbertV Posted October 26, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 26, 2012 Updates: James Mangold talked with Empire and gave a bit of surprising news... THE WOLVERINE is not another prequel or reboot. Rather, it is a brand new adventure for the Canadian slice and dicer that takes place...AFTER X-Men: The Last Stand! There is also a rumor that a certain Jean Grey may make some sort of cameo and if that is true, yes, Famke Janssen would come back to shoot the cameo scenes.
