what a great wolverine... who will take up the reigns for the reboots to come?

Probably one of the best viral *commercials I've ever seen. Fits right in with the rest of the videos on the channel, and didn't even mention the product (the next Wolverine movie) that they're building hype for.

Deadpool interviews the guy who plays Wolverine.

IMDB:
Set in the future, Logan and Professor Charles Xavier must cope with the loss of the X-Men when a corporation led by Nathaniel Essex is destroying the world leaving it to destruction, with Logan's healing abilities slowly fading away and Xavier's Alzheimer's forcing him to forget. Logan must defeat Nathaniel Essex with the help of a young girl named Laura Kinney, a female clone of Wolverine.

so this is between 3 and days of future past? or older than days but in the current universe without the sentinel uprising?


I was hoping they would jump right on to the end of wolverine 2 since we left him with an adamantium bullet in his head. I kind of doubt jeans touch in apocalypse cured him of that.

Could the fact the previous two Wolverine movies sucked have anything to do with it?

Appropriate music choice given what it looks like.

If anyone was wondering like me why he has scars, it was apparently explained that because they wanted to make a different tone of movie, they had to imagine what it would be like if his healing ability changes as Wolverine himself ages, leaving him with scars/memories of past battles. I don't know how old he's supposed to be, but they did show him in Prof X's younger days (~60 years?) looking exactly the same as he did in the 2000's - so i'm not sure if it adds up, but i can excuse that for a different styled, good film.

I feel like I've been saying this for years about a variety of different films, mostly super hero genre crap.

When Wolverine cuts off someone's arm, I don't need Tarantino blood, but nothing happening doesn't make sense either. It's demeaning and belittling to the audience when filmmakers pander to the PG13 crowd.

Bernie or bust.

/internet high-five to @MilkmanDan for his comments.

The colors are critical for the comics, but for a movie it would have made no sense. I doubt that Wolverine is all stealthy, hiding in the shadows in his bright yellow outfit. That would have looked stupid in the movies.

I kind of get it. But on the other hand, every time you change mediums the way you tell the story changes. Every time a movie comes out based on a book (I mean an all-text novel, not a graphic novel / comic), most people that love the source book *think* that they want the movie to be a 100% verbatim adaptation. But the medium just doesn't work the same way.

Describing a setting or a character might take many paragraphs in a book, possibly spread out over multiple chapters or even multiple books. In a movie, *bam* -- you put it on screen, and you can see it. Done. On the other hand, describing a character's motivations can be done very succinctly or in great depth and detail in a book, but it is harder to do that in a purely visual medium like film.

Wolverine's color scheme and costume design works in comic books. His mask/hat thing with the horn-like points works in the comics. But in live-action film, what materials can look or behave like either or those things, and not be jarringly weird? Even cosplay type stuff is generally built to look good in still images -- not necessarily in video, being subjected to action-movie kinds of physical motion. I believe the directors / filmmakers when they say that they have tried more authentic costumes, and felt that they "didn't work".

Deadpool was a very good example of how it *can* work to move the imagery in a direction visually closer to the comic books. But I think the best we can hope for is a happy medium where *some* visual cues are adapted from the comics, in the situations where those things adapt well to the format.
