THE WOLVERINE has now been “unleashed” in stores! Are you going to pick one up?
The “Unleashed Extended Edition” features the theatrical version of the film in both regular and 3D Blu-ray, along with the more intense, unrated version of the film. There are lots of special features, including an exciting sneak peak behind the scenes of “X-Men: Days of Future Past”.
Hugh Jackman recently told Entertainment Weekly that his favorite sequence cut from the theatrical film involved an ice village fight. “We shot that for a long time… but in the end, story-wise, we were ramping up to that finale and the climax to the movie, so we had to cut so much of it,” he says.
“I remember sitting there with my stunt double, and he was, like, “What? I almost killed myself for this thing!” Both of us actually did some really hairy stuff. There’s some really cool stuff there where I’m fighting, like, 30 or 40 ninjas and motorbikes and really cool, innovative stuff that people haven’t seen before. You’re [also] going to get to see a lot of the making of that bullet train sequence, which took us about three weeks to shoot that minute and a half. I had some pretty hairy accidents on that, and someone said, “I want to put that on the DVD!”
Entertainment Tonight has a behind the scenes clip straight from the Blu-ray, which focuses on Wolverine’s love interest Mariko, played by the beautiful Tao Okamoto.
Loved the extended cut! Wish the alternate ending had been included.
I was surprised to find that the Ext. cut flowed noticeably better than the theatrical. I don’t think the theatrical cut had any problems in that department either, which is why it was surprising.
It’s not just more of the village fight that we get either, the whole thing is actually given a lot more room to breath, and develop even better.
But yeah, a stronger version of an already strong movie.
A great film even better. I loved it.
it was great with the theatrical, now it’s greater with the extended cut
