Trailer is pretty dope. It comes out May 1, 2009.
bootleg trailer from Comic-Con here. Comic nerds are having orgasms in there when Gambit came on the screen =P Hehe, i was too
http://wolverine-trailer.blogspot.com/
Wolverine, Sabertooth, Deadpool, the Blob, and Gambit! Dang, i kinda don't like seeing Deadpool without his mask...
-
I saw that trailer earlier, can't wait for next May to get here.
This movie covers Wolvie's childhood to his time with the Weapon-X program.
2 other characters are also in it, Kestrel, a teleporter played by Will.I.Am, and Silverfox.
Actually, I think it'll only show a small bit of Wolvie's childhood, but the trailer does show him as a kid.
-
I saw the trailer yesterday and I'm so looking forward to next year!
Wolverine's (next to Batsie) my favourite superhero/anti-hero XD
-
Can I ask why the hype is around Deadpool and Gambit? Gambit I can sorta understand based on the 90's cartoon series, but I've never really gotten to know Deadpool.
-
cuz Deadpool is awesome. he's a really comical anti-hero, and has the wisecrack personality of Spider-man. But, he's more badass with the weapons and look. He's a mercenary ninja. You can't go wrong with guns and swords.
After the Weapon X program (gave him Wolverine's healing ability to cure his cancer), he was left all disfigured and unstable.
-
I saw the trailer a few days ago too. With the amount of fanservice, it'll be hard for this movie to flop. Maybe Stark will make a cameo too. :lol:
I've only read the comics that covered his James Howlett origin. I don't know the real deal about the Weapon X story, except maybe from the trading cards way, way back. Did they do any retconning?
cuz Deadpool is awesome.
Hell yes he is! XD

They would have to get Bea Arthur and some chimichangas for that movie.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Going Back for Extensive Reshoots
With the Watchmen legal battle finally coming to its end, and Fox not getting more than just a large helping of undeserved money, I would expect the anti-20th Century Fox backlash to slowly dissipate. But with this news today, it might swing back into high gear. Last August we reported that X-Men Origins: Wolverine was experiencing some issues, primarily with power struggles between its director, Gavin Hood, and Fox's CEO Tom Rothman. And this was all before the trailer hit. However, an update has arrived from Collider tonight that says they're going back to Vancouver to do some extensive reshoots. Although I'm normally optimistic, I'm pretty sure this is a very bad sign, despite the other opinions I've heard from my peers.
We've heard a lot of negative behind-the-scenes buzz about X-Men Origins: Wolverine for a long time but have tried to play it off because we were hoping it would turn out great in the end. Obviously the trailer was impressive, but for some odd reason I felt like it wasn't as polished as it could be. Normally I love trailers like that, but I could tell that Gavin Hood had some problems keeping his vision of Wolverine intact. In regards to the production, word is that Richard Donner (yes, of Superman: The Movie), was often on set "ghost directing" and providing more than just minimal feedback. While this shouldn't be a bad thing, apparently it is, but Gavin Hood still might get his chance to go back and reshoot a lot of the movie.
Collider is reporting that Fox is conducting very extensive reshoots over the next few weeks. They're also saying that studios usually try and keep news like this under the radar, but Fox even wanted to bring in some journalists to cover these reshoots. Why? Well because apparently Gavin Hood is going to be directing them. My guess is that he's getting his chance to fix the movie, but they're also trying to "cover up" any previous bad buzz by bringing journalists in and "showing" them that it's Hood directing, not Rothman and not Donner. So why didn't Gavin get to do this to begin with? And I don't understand how rushing reshoots this late in the game can be called a good thing. I'm sorry, but I'm not drinking this Kool-Aid.
What everyone is saying is that the trailer, which received an extreme amount of positive buzz, gave Fox the confidence they needed to go back and do these reshoots. That may be true, but I again question why this isn't something they thought about earlier. Fox really thought a Wolverine movie wouldn't be a big hit? They've got to be kidding me! As much as I'm hoping that X-Men Origins: Wolverine does turn out to be the gritty, badass Wolverine movie we've all wanted to see ever since Hugh Jackman unleashed his claws in X-Men in 2001, I've got a feeling this isn't going to be it. And it's not Gavin Hood's fault. We know exactly who to blame - the very same studio that tried to scoop up Watchmen.

More Deadpool Coming in X-Men Origins: Wolverine?!
Most people are probably familiar with the news that X-Men Origins: Wolverine is doing reshoots, or as Hugh Jackman claims, pre-planned shoots taking place in Vancouver for the next few weeks. We've heard that they're reshooting a little less than half of the film, which is actually quite a damn bit. But no one really knows exactly what is taking place up there in Canada or exactly which scenes are being reshot (or added). However, IESB has dropped by with this little scoop today, claiming that most of what they're currently shooting involves Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool along with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
For those who might not exactly know who Deadpool is, he is a popular Marvel comics character that is often depicted as a mercenary, villain, or anti-hero (as seen above). He first appeared in 1991 and usually only shows up in X-Men comics. Nicknamed the "Merc with a Mouth", Deadpool is a high-tech mercenary known for his wisecracks, black humor, and satirical pop-culture references, and primarily uses two swords for weapons. He was a "product" of the Weapon X program that also created Wolverine and Silver Fox, which is why he shows up in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, along with the rest of the mutants.
We've already seen Deadpool show up very briefly in trailer, and there was once talk of setting up the character for his own spin-off. This rumor, if indeed true, could potentially mean that 20th Century Fox wants to beef up his character in the Wolverine movie and maybe even still setup a spin-off. But then again, we don't know how much he was originally in the movie to begin with and what the fate of the character even is, so who knows what all this means? These reshoots seem to be getting much more interesting every day, so let's hope they mean good things in the end.

Damn, that was a pretty serious trailer. Finally get to see a little action from Deadpool and a bit more from Gambit as well. I get the feeling this movie is gonna be an action/special fx/fan service wankfest, but I'm going to enjoy every second of it.
-
That new trailer is phat.
I'm still hopeful that Deadpool's usual crazy chatter from the comics is there, and that Ryan Reynolds can hopefully pull it off.

Oh my Gambit :heart:

Ryan Reynolds Talks Enthusiastically About Playing Deadpool
With X-Men Origins: Wolverine due out in theaters in only 48 more days, discussions on all things Marvel and X-Men and Wolverine have begun to flood the web. I know I'm not the only fan who's anxious to see Ryan Reynolds as the beloved sword wielding comic book character Deadpool in the movie. Reynolds was out promoting Adventureland this weekend and talked with a couple of websites, including specifically Collider and Latino Review. Given the whole Weapon XI fiasco that arose with the newest trailer (see here for more), these were some much needed updates from Reynolds his character's involvement.
Ryan Reynolds as DeadpoolReynolds says it initially "started out as a cameo and they added a little bit more… They added a bunch of mutants that the fanboys really love." After he finished shooting two other movies, he came back to add more. "We ended up going to do additional photography at the end of Wolverine because I still hadn't shot the lion's share of what I was supposed to shoot. So a lot of people thought they were adding scenes because they added more Deadpool, but it was just a function of me finishing the movie that I hadn't completed yet." I don't think anyone is going to complain about more Deadpool, but that explains some of the reshoots.
In regards to the character and the aforementioned Weapon XI confusion, Reynolds says, "I personally don't consider him as Deadpool, I consider him to be what Deadpool becomes… or the thing Deadpool came from." Meaning Wade Wilson, the mercenary who eventually becomes Deadpool. When asked about how much of his story we'll see, such as if we learn why he wears a mask (like he does in the comics), Reynolds said, "Well, it's an origin story, so again I don't consider myself playing Deadpool. I'm the thing that will eventually become Deadpool. But yea, he's scarred up. You're gonna see the scars. That's all in there."
And as for that Deadpool spin-off we've been hearing about, well, don't get your hopes until until after May 1st. "These things work pretty slowly. I've had a couple of people approach me about meetings for a Deadpool movie, but I think it's absurd to think that way until this movie comes out. And I don't even look at it like I play Deadpool in this movie. I really think I more or less play Wade Wilson, and I'm playing the creature that will eventually become Deadpool but in this movie it's his newly formed version." I know I can't wait to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine, if not just to see how awesome Reynolds is as Deadpool.

A bootleg workprint of the movie has already been released on to the net. It looks complete except some CGI effects are unfinished. Personally, I found it a bit underwhelming. The story was rather simple despite the twists they tried to put in it. And the character development was weak. A lot of new characters are introduced, but the time isn't taken to flesh them out. I stopped reading comics long before most of these characters were introduced, so I had to google to find out who they were. From what little I read, I think hardcore fans are going to be disappointed with the way some of them turn out, especially Deadpool. Their origins and some of their powers are radically changed from what they were in the comics. And for a movie that's supposed to be about Wolverine's origin, it was pretty annoying to see them fast forward through a century of his life with a short montage of clips during the opening credits. Hopefully, the workprint isn't the final product, but I won't get my hopes up.
-
i heard the story was decent, but they changed a lot of stuff around.
Spoiler,
Also heard they messed up Deadpool =( He doesn't even get his mask. Hopefully he still has is wisecrack personality. Double R was perfect for that role.
-
The first screening ever was done in South Korea the other day... So far, positive reviews.
My hubbies, Daniel Henney (Agent Zero) and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) went over there for press conferences(?) and to meet up with the fans/promote the movie. They were cute cool with each other; seems like they got along. :wub:

some of you may know that my area of Tempe won the red carpet premiere.
but i thought i'd like to share some nasty stuff that happened because of it.
how poorly ran the movie staff, and city police handled things.
here are some links and comments from various websites concerning the big issue that happened at the harkins cinecapri.
http://typedink.com/nw/me.php?itemid=2453 (http://typedink.com/nw/me.php?itemid=2453)
"Tempe police said too many people were blocking and wanted the line started early, opened 2 doors where the line would be and told everyone to "run" which they did and injured 2 girls WHO Harkins did not care nor feel they should be given tickets."
http://www.kpho.com/entertainment/19278921/detail.html (http://www.kpho.com/entertainment/19278921/detail.html)
"but overcrowding outside the theater was so severe some people were injured in the crush of the crowd."

"We decided to allow the line up early for everyone's safety."
"As a result, hundreds of X-Men fans were turned away when they showed up to start waiting in line at 9:00 p.m."

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Will Have Multiple Secret Endings?!
http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=15014 (http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=15014)
http://www.beyondhollywood.com/foxs-latest-gimmick-to-get-you-to-see-wolverine-in-theaters-multiple-endings/ (http://www.beyondhollywood.com/foxs-latest-gimmick-to-get-you-to-see-wolverine-in-theaters-multiple-endings/)
According to director Gavin Hood himself, FOX and Marvel Studios have placed “hidden multiple secret endings on different prints and theaters will be showing different versions” of said secret endings. Basically, depending on where you see the movie, you could be seeing one ending, while your buddies in another part of the country will be seeing an entirely different ending.
-
multiple endings ??
gimmick FTW
-
They're probably talking about the extra scene played after the credits, like how in Iron Man there was the Nick Fury cameo. At the end of the workprint I saw, there's suddenly a scene with Wolverine drinking at a bar in Japan (although the bartender looked more like a caucasian made up to look japanese).
-
I saw it yesterday (only 10 peeps in the theater - so much for crowded - but then this is germany not america)
Never read the comics, I only saw the old animated series from the 90's and a handful of Eps of Evolution so I'm by no means an X-Men expert.
I liked it, but I can understand that hardcore fans are gonna be unhappy about all the changes that were made. Emma Frost anyone?
And I heard a lot of complaints that Wolvy isn't his bad ass grumpy self in this version and that it's a "girls movie" but on the other hand: this is the x-men universe - meanwhile there are so many facettes, AU's, relaunches, new interpretations of story's so just see this movie as another one.
Only thing I didn't like -and I can't believe this is coming from me XD- it was all too clean and unbloody!
Edit: Crap, I just found out that we got to see a cencored version of the movie. F.U.C.K. U GERMANY!
-
So did Dominic Monaghan have any lines in this movie?? lol he's supposed to be in supporting cast but I have not seen one picture or heard anything about him in this movie. Not even a glimpse in the trailers etc.
-
^ yeah he did XD
I didn't even know he was in the movie, was a total surprise to see him.
-
Guess my hopes of Deadpool were too high.
I started reading marvel stuff around the civil war arc. and this Deadpool character I never heard of really suprised and impressed me.
But since the movie is labeled Wolverine, I guess I had that coming. ;)
About that multiple end-credit mini-ending. No spoilers. :-*
The one I watched had a highway. Anybody saw another version?
-
I'm just going to say this...
NEEDED MORE DEADPOOL OMFG!!!
Gambit's still my favourite in the X-Men world, but Deadpool OWNED every scene he was in!!
-
^ yeah he did XD
I didn't even know he was in the movie, was a total surprise to see him.
Lol wow!! Maybe there will be a clip available eventually... I don't wanna see the whole movie just for him :lol:
-
Yesterday went to the movies to watch this. IMO the movie was pretty good and the scene where wolverine jumps up from the watertank was epic.

Hugh Jackman Already Officially Working on Wolverine 2
This update is simply a culmination of a handful of other news bits over the last few weeks. First off, we know that X-Men Origins: Wolverine has made $85 million so far. One of the secret endings we heard about involves Wolvie at a bar in Japan. In an interview, Fox's Tom Rothman said that the secret endings were hints at what is coming next. Lastly, Hugh Jackman said in an interview that he's already been talking to writers about taking Wolverine 2 to Japan in that sequel. Published in Variety tonight is an update on all of Jackman's next projects, including confirmation that a Wolverine sequel is officially in development.
"The Seed partners have begun planning the sequel, which they are squarely focusing on the samurai storyline originated in the comic series, and whose Japanese locale was teased after the film's final credits." That's the update that Variety gives us today, with a mention that no writer has (publicly) been hired yet (we rumored about Simon Beaufoy's involvement at one point). Interestingly, out of all of the responses to our discussion yesterday about what Wolverine spin-offs/sequels people would want to see the most, only a handful of the comments mentioned that they'd actually like to see a sequel - not a good sign.
If you're curious to hear more about any of Jackman's other projects, including - Personal Security, where he'd play a police detective forced into bodyguard duty for a spoiled teen heiress; Drive, where he'd play a man who drives race cars by day and getaway cars by night in LA; or Carousel, where he'd play Billy Bigelow in a contemporary remake of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic - you can head right over to Variety.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Deadpool’ Solo Movie Confirmed, Ryan Reynolds Attached To ‘Wolverine’ Spin-Off
Earlier today came official word about an “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” sequel, confirming what Hugh Jackman had already told MTV News about his plans for a follow-up to this weekend’s blockbuster. Now, MTV News has received official word that there is also a “Deadpool” solo movie in active development, with “Wolverine” actor Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as Wade Wilson, Marvel’s mutant assassin.

Can't wait for Wade to make fun of the 'Deadpool' monstrosity from the film in the upcoming issues of the comics. XD

did you stay till the end credits finished? The highway was pretty much at the begining of the credits.
Stay till you see the blu screen
-
I just saw it yesterday, and I gotta say...I was expecting it to be a little bit better :/ I'm not saying it was bad, 'cause it wasn't (and I still plan on buying it when it comes out on DVD)
Overall, I liked it, but they could've improved some of the CG (-cough-Wolverine's claws)
They definitely needed more Deadpool, really happy to hear that they're coming out with a solo movie~!
Now we just need a Gambit solo movie ;_; He's my favorite...
-
Just watched this today, and it's not too bad, but could've been better, of course.
And fer shure, it needed MOAR DEADPOOL!!
Let's hope the spinoff movie for good 'ol Wade does happen.

Star Trek Sequel Hits in 2012, Wolverine 2 is Shooting in 2011
I think Hollywood can only see two years into the future. Now that it's 2010, that means it's time to start scheduling movies for 2012. Last year they didn't go beyond 2011. Anyway, first things first, ComingSoon has learned that Paramount has set a June 29th, 2012 release for the untitled Star Trek sequel. I would call it Star Trek 2, but I was already informed previously that this is technically the 12th Star Trek movie, so that title wouldn't be inaccurate. And in related 2012 news, SHH found a video with Hugh Jackman talking about shooting Wolverine 2 starting early to mid-2011. Therefore we can also expect that to hit in 2012.
I don't think these are the very first movies to get 2012 release dates (The Avengers is scheduled for May 4th; Pixar and DreamWorks also have some movies scheduled for 2012, too), but they are two very highly anticipated sequels that we now know will be hitting two or so years from now in 2012 (just before the world ends). We already know that the Wolverine sequel will be about Logan traveling to Japan and training with samurai, but as for the Star Trek sequel, we don't know anything about it at all. Hell, we don't even know if J.J. Abrams will be back to direct or not. Hopefully we'll find out an answer to that question soon.
