Emmy nominated, Melbourne-based effects studio Iloura (Seven Swords, House of Flying Daggers), and Santa Monica-based Shade VFX (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Chronicle) are providing visual effects for THE WOLVERINE. They join Academy Award winning studios Weta Digital (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) and Rising Sun Pictures (Prometheus).

Iloura’s highly regarded reputation has been built around its character animation work. They also produce outstanding results in matte painting, compositing, FX animation and motion design. Shade VFX handles stereoscopic, photorealism, creatures, volumetrics, set extensions and matte paintings.

Releasing July 26th, the James Mangold film, based on the celebrated comic book arc, takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern-day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world, he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed.
