MARVEL’S WOLVERINE Goes Behind The Scenes Of Its Motion Capture Performances
Thanks to Empire Magazine, we have a new promo shot of Hugh Jackman in THE WOLVERINE! In this image, Logan is seen captured underground as “prisoner of war” on a Japanese camp! Like “Origins,” Logan will have his bone claws during this flashback. The adamantium claws will be featured in the bulk of the film.
“It’s rooted in drama. Effectively almost every superhero film, in a sense, revolves around some large group of humanity that’s either killed or held hostage while superheroes battle it out with supervilains. The essential driving forces of this movie are interpersonal and dramatic, about love, bitterness, loss, vengeance, redemption, depression, suicide, conquering inner demons – it’s going to make it a very different film than people have seen. […]
“When I say realistic, what I mean is that it’s not built on 70-foot lizards from outer space. Our goal is to try to be a little less super-CG and wires, and a little more hardcore. I want the film to feel analogue. You always have large-scale action and adventure – it wouldn’t be a movie about gods if you didn’t have epic physicality. But we all feel we’re making a Japanese noir picture with tentpole action in it.”
James Mangold.
I freaked out when I read this. Rooted in reality, no stupid aliens. Just that: Character drama, darkness…
With Jackman’s devotion to the role, and Mangold’s talent (“3:10 to Yuma” and “CopLand”) this could become the best comic book based movie of them all!
Unlikely. We have yet to see any real indication that he will carry out this promise. Brent Ratner promised all these things in X3 and failed to deliver anything
Brat Ratner did not film such awesome films like 3:10 or Copland. Check them out! Instant classics!
Bone claws? I’m so confused right now.. but its still connected to the XOW right?
What’s “so” confusing about it?
The films starts in 1944/45 with Logan in a Japanese POW camp (time before je joined the Weapon X project in “Origins”), then jumps forward to the time AFTER “The Last Stand” when he will have his adamantium claws.
That’;s what we think will happen. A lot of this is still only here say. It will be a while before we know for sure.
Yeah.. Thanks for the review mate..
I trust this movie will be worth the wait.
