Plot Summary: Leading up to the events of "X-Men," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

relationship? what relationship? the first movie portrayed Sabretooth as a 1-dimensional villain that didn't even have lines!! 

plus the fact that Bryan Singer totally made Cyclops gay.. 

the parts that he did right though were Wolvie, Prof X, Mystique, Toad and the blackbird. hmm.. it seems there's more good points than bad. nvm then

really?
as a fan of x-men...i think the movie did ok...except that they made psylocke into a villain!!! WTF
but X2 was excellent...
oh and i never like cyclops, so didn't affect me much..
silverblue...good call on the sabertooth scene..never realise that scene with the tag

gambit will be in the wolverine movie!!   
finally...after waiting for him to appear in 3 movies..he will show up in wolverine movie. fanboys should be happy now 

Seriously?

How is Gambit going to fit into the Weapon X storyline? I sure hope it's not a cameo just to satisfy the fanboys... I want full action Gambit with serious impact on the Xmen storyline, not pretty-yet-useless chap like how they did to Cyclops.

Can't think of any actor which will suit Gambit...

Will.i.am to appear in Wolverine film



Rapper-singer-producer Will.i.am is set to add actor to his list of titles. The Black Eyed Peas leader will make his feature acting debut in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the X-Men spinoff starring Hugh Jackman. The film will trace the origins of the popular mutant superhero.

Will.i.am--real name William Adams--will play Wraith, a mutant with the power to make himself translucent. Production began this month in New Zealand before moving to Australia. A New Orleans shoot also is on the docket. Fox is releasing the film everywhere May 1, 2009.

yah, it's confirmed and here's the actor.

he may not be involved in the weapon x but i guess it may be a team up with wolverine after the weapon x to seek revenge. just hope he had the cajun accent and wears a trenchcoat. since this is a prequel to xmen movie, he may portray a young gambit. remember in the synopsis they mentioned that "Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe."

we have more than gambit, deadpool is also confirmed!

Comic-Con trailer bootleg.

X-men - Origins is one of the most anticipated movies of 09′. Oscar-winning director Gavin Hood, producer and star Hugh Jackman will no doubt bring us a great movie full of action.

The film will focus on Wolverine’s past as he “discovers the world of mutants and, ultimately, the ominous Weapon X program, which turns people into living weapons.

Hugh Jackman’s Mantra In ‘Wolverine’ Movie? ‘Consistently Bad-Ass,’ Says Former Fox Exec

Sure, any comic book fan worth his longboxes knows that Wolverine is the best there is at what he does — but will his upcoming debut as a solo act in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” live up to the hype? Former 20th Century Fox exec (and comic book author) Jeff Katz, who returned from the set of “Wolverine” just a few months ago, certainly seems to think so, bub.

“I think it delivers — so I’m not particularly worried about that,” Katz told MTV, only to add exactly why he thinks Logan’s upcoming solo debut will be his best story yet.

“I’m of the belief that you can boil down these characters to a couple of key words, phrases or images that sum up the tone and tenor of what they should be,” explained Katz. “And to me and [Hugh] Jackman, our mantra for Wolverine has really been one term: ‘bad-ass.’ As long as Wolverine is consistently bad-ass, people are generally going to go with you. That’s what they want from that character.”

“Iron Man comes out and it does a tremendous business, Batman comes out and it does a tremendous business, and the inclination in the movie biz a lot of the time is, ‘Well, that thing just worked, so we have to chase that,’” continued Katz. “But as comics people know, Batman is not Iron Man is not Superman is not Wolverine — they’re all different.”

According to Katz, it’s that grasp of comics and their characters that informed production of “Wolverine” from the start, and the exec — who left Fox earlier this year for a project he’ll announce any day now — heaped praise upon Jackman for his appreciation of the ol’ Canucklehead.

“Jackman is an actor who gets the character innately. He understands that he owes his career to that character,” said Katz, who added that he’s dead-serious about “Wolverine” showing a side of Logan that’s considerably darker than anything we’ve seen in the “X-Men” films thus far.

“If you saw that Comic-Con trailer, that bit at the end where he tells [Schreiber] he’s going to cut his goddamn head off,” said Katz, “that is very much Logan’s tone throughout the movie.”

“At the end of the day, it’s a more personal ‘X-Men’ movie. It’s a darker X-Men movie,” added Katz.

The former exec was quick to add that, while Jackman is certainly the star of the show, Logan will be joined by quite a few other fanboy-friendly characters who will vie for audience’s attention — characters who could live on outside of “Wolverine.”

“The dynamic between Jackman and Liev Schreiber is excellent, and ultimately informs their arc together, but the fun of this movie is just to freshen it up and get some new faces, in terms of the characters you’re getting to play with — and it does put a few of them in a position to be explored in other areas,” teased Katz. “It nicely sets up a lot of the places for this version of the franchise to go.”

As for exactly what that direction might be, Katz said his status as a former Fox exec limited his knowledge of the studio’s plans for “Wolverine” and the “X-Men Origins” franchises — but he certainly has some ideas about where Logan could be headed post-”Wolverine.”

“I can’t speak to what’s been discussed in the interim since I’ve been gone, but Mr. Jackman certainly has a desire to go to Japan,” said Katz. “As the single most beloved member of the X-Men universe, I have a hard time believing this is the last you’ll see of Wolverine.”

Excited about “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”? Be sure to come back tomorrow for some thoughts on the film from Logan himself, Hugh Jackman! Until then, let us know what you think about Katz’ assessment of the film and what you’re taking from it!

Wolverine Trailer Confirmed for December 12!



We have officially confirmed with 20th Century Fox that the first trailer for Wolverine will hit theaters with the studio's The Day the Earth Stood Still on December 12. The trailer will be exclusively available in theaters and will not debut online or on TV until some time later. Be sure to check your local paper or online for theater listings!

Directed by Gavin Hood, the May 1, 2009 release stars Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch, Will.i.am, Danny Huston, Dominic Monaghan, Daniel Henney and Lynn Collins.

Leading up to the events of X-Men, Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

Wolverine Claws Onto Empire's Cover



Everyone’s been so excited about this year’s Iron Man, and the Avenger themed follow-ups that are coming, we’ve almost forgotten completely about the mutant side of Marvel’s super-hero universe. Next year will see the X-Men franchise continue with X-Men Origins: Wolverine hitting theaters. Fortunately, Empire Magazine hasn’t forgotten about the muties, and is giving Hugh Jackman the cover treatment for its January issue.

Along with gracing the cover with claws and mutton chops, Jackman gives some insight as to what fans can expect from the X-Men prequel: "There's a scene in the first X-Men movie, where Wolverine's introduced in a bar, fighting in a cage, and you felt that he did this every night of his life. If this movie is successful, you should feel that this guy can walk straight off the end of this film and into that bar.”

Jackman isn’t the only one talking for the cover article. The magazine also talks to some of the other cast members, including Danny Huston, who plays a younger version of William Stryker, the character played by Brian Cox in X-Men 2. His comments on the character, and his conflicted reaction to the existence of mutants, sounds right on par with the character we saw in the second X-Men flick. ” The thing about Stryker is that he feels like he's got this God-given right, that he's on a crusade. He both loves and hates mutants, because his son was a mutant and murdered his wife. So he understands what they're going through but despises their force, their potential danger. It's wonderfully complicated."

Just this little tidbit is enough to remind me why we liked the X-Men movies… at least the first two of the franchise (here’s hoping Wolverine will follow in the footsteps of Bryan Singer’s movies). For more information on this prequel, check out the January issue of Empire Magazine.

Hugh Jackman On Bringing ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Back For A Sequel…In Japan

Fresh off being named “Sexiest Man Alive” by People Magazine, Hugh Jackman has a lot to be thankful for these days. His epic Baz Luhrmann film “Australia” hits theaters today, and he’s returning to the big screen as one of comics’ most popular superheroes, Wolverine, in next year’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”

In the following video, Jackman explains to MTV that there are plenty of surprises left for the “Wolverine” audience, and not only tells us that he’d like to do another film, but teases the story he’d like to tell.

“The most intriguing thing to me was the Japan story. I love the Japan story,” said Jackman. “I wanted to do the Japan story from around ‘X-Men 2.’ Can you just picture Wolverine in Japan with the triads and the samurai? It’s just genius.”

Why wasn’t that story told? Jackman had an answer for that, too — one that sounded quite a bit like the answer former Fox exec Jeff Katz gave us when asked about a potential “Wolverine” sequel.

“How can you do that before you explain his origins?” said Jackman. “If we tried to mix the origin and Japan together, it wouldn’t do justice to either. So you can tell by the answer where I’d like it to go.”

Wolverine videogame



If you're amped for next summer's WOLVERINE solo flick (oh, sorry -- X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE), keep your Xbox 360 or PS3 ready and waiting -- you'll get the chance to carve your foes and heal gaping battle wounds yourself.

Activision and developer Raven (the team behind past games X-MEN LEGENDS and MARVEL: ULTIMATE ALLIANCE) are hard at work on the digital Logan likeness and his lethal mutantness. The game is set for release in May 2009 to coincide with the movie's release (that's some kind of screenshot, concept art or cutscene graphic from the game above). Maybe they'll also find a way to work Mystique in the game somewhere, to satiate my blue-chick fetish.

Details, per press release: "We have an amazing team with Raven Studios at the helm, creating what will undoubtedly be the quintessential, true-to-character Wolverine video game experience that fans have been craving," said Rob Kostich, vice president, global brand management, Activision Publishing, Inc. "X-Men Origins: Wolverine amps up the action by bringing to life Wolverine's wholly unique skills such as his brute strength, regenerative mutant abilities, and indestructible adamantium claws and skeleton in an immersive experience that is fitting to one of the most enduring and popular characters of all time."

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an epic action-adventure featuring a true-to-character Wolverine gameplay experience that takes gamers through and beyond the movie's storyline. Set in a variety of vivid real-world locales, the title challenges players to hone their animal instinct as they uncover hidden dangers, hunt and destroy enemies, and take on seemingly insurmountable situations while discovering the truth about Wolverine's tragic past. With razor-sharp adamantium claws unsheathed, the future X-Man enacts lightning-quick combat, evasive maneuvers, in-depth combo attacks, and an array of brutal finishing moves. Wolverine doesn't just deliver massive damage, either -- he also takes it, thanks to his mutant regenerative power that heals him in real time right before the player's eyes.

Extra Tidbit: In the X2 tie-in game WOLVERINE'S REVENGE, Wolvie was voiced by Mark Hamill. Of course.
