Russell Crowe turned down this role and suggested Hugh Jackman for it.

Quote:

Bryan Singer asked Rusty [Crowe] to do Wolverine, and he said, 'Nah mate I've just done 'Gladiator', it's not for me but you should look at this guy...'

He's a great guy in every way, I have so much time for him and to watch him work, everyone says he is a great actor, when you actually get to work with someone like that... He's that good when it matters, in that moment, in that close up tough moment, you just sit back and watch you know someone's got that confidence and is going to deliver. I learnt a lot from him.

I think I had heard this somewhere a long time ago, but now I guess it's confirmed.

Hugh Jackman fires back at naysayers about his new Wolverine look

Quote:

"That's all me, man," Jackman said on The Jeff Probst Show, adding that he was annoyed that people thought it was a fake.

"Because it was brutal getting there. And by the way, I asked the company if they could just... you're spending millions on special effects, just help me out. I want to eat pizza and drink beer. And they said no.

"For that kind of body, I had to go up in weight, big, lift big and heavy, then strip down."

Wolverine director James Mangold explains why his sequel ISN'T an X-Men movie.

Quote:

"I felt the most liberating thing about coming after the other movies is you don't have to hand it off or end it in some way that meets up with a previous film. For creative freedom, I didn't want to have to, essentially, land this film in Wichita because that's where the next one takes off from. It helped me to be really free, and in some ways be more loyal to Claremont/Miller, without having to be tied to other films...

What I felt like I hadn't seen as a comic book fan, was I felt I hadn't seen Logan and his rage. That sense of darkness. Without getting into the [2009] Wolverine movie, which is an origin story, with the X-Men movies he's part of a team, so he gets little scenelets, but they're essentially team movies. The liberty I have making a film like this is I can find him. I'm not cutting away to catch you up on any of the Thunderbird team members. It's his emotional experience, his trajectory, his sense of loss, and his own ambivalence about his powers and talents...

It's definitely more. A lot of that story and a lot of beats from that saga are in there -- and a lot of characters. Without being religious about it, I think it's a very admiring adaptation. Obviously when you're adapting anything you make some changes. But all the characters are there - Yukio, Viper, Mariko, Shingen, and Logan obviously. The whole cast of characters that exist in that world exists in our film."

More on the story

Quote:

We pick up Logan in a very isolated state, full of self-loathing. He is sought out by a young Asian woman for reasons he doesn't fully understand, who is asking him to follow her to Japan where he is meant to reconnect with someone he spent prison-time with in Nagasaki. And the legacy of that experience, effectively Logan saved him, is that this man is on his deathbed, and is looking to give him a gift, to thank him for the life he's had. But this gift draws Logan into a very complex and very unexpected world within both contemporary Japan, and to some degree the feudal history of Japan. The quality of this story is that it takes Logan on such a challenging personal journey. He's so in isolation, so out of his element. It's a much more powerful distillation of his character than you've seen before. It's why people have always love this particular story.

Sounds like they are staying fairly true to the source material. That's refreshing to hear.

Can't wait! Sounds very interesting!

And they picked a great classic story arc, unlike the first Wolverine movie

True. This one should be markedly better.

**Krstic All-Star** · 01-30-2013, 08:34 AM

I barely acknowledge the existence of the first one
