The online reputation of Wolverine, the spin-off X-men flick directed by Gavin Hood, has been fairly sullied over the last few months. Reports of a passive-aggressive feud between Hood and Fox chief Tom Rothman (mostly on Rothman’s part), persistent but wrong rumors that Hood was off the picture altogether and other undesirable ‘leaks’ have made it seem like a disaster in the making.
The fact that the only footage seen so far has come courtesy of a Comic Con ‘surprise’ showing has fueled pessimism. As will this move: the official trailer will be attached to The Day The Earth Stood Still on December 12, according to Coming Soon. The clip won’t actually show up online for a while after that, meaning you’ll (in theory) have to buy a ticket to Day to see the trailer.
Granted, this implies that Fox has more confidence in the trailer than they do for the Day re-do, but that’s not saying much. I’m all sorts of curious to see how Wolverine looks at this point, but as another piece of Fox product I can’t say i’ve got much confidence in it.

I like the way the Day remake is looking, the music in the trailer, the framing of the people. I'm curious. As for Wolverine. Utter shite. One day we'll get a real Wolverine story with a small muscular badass and see him working with Cap and then training in Japan as a samurai.
If they'd got their shit together and done this movie 20 years ago, Jack Nicholson would have been the best wolvie ever!
I'm there for Deadpool
I heard theres going to be a futurama tie in, so I might see it.
How can fox studios stay afloat if they keep fucking with their filmmakers. keep this up and they may start having touble finding people for there projects
Halle Blue Berry should've been picked to play Wolverine.
Look how wonderful she did with MeowWoman. She was ferocious…
I've twice been assured that I would see a Watchmen trailer (TDK and QOS, both opening weekends), and didn't get it either time. Not that I was likely to see TDTESS '08 anyway.
At least the hair looks better this time. In the three X-Men films he has obviously gelled hair-horns, causing me to picture him doing that to himself every morning and undercutting any bad-assery fuzzy muscles and knives in one's forearms might otherwise impart.
I want to see "The Day The Earth Stood Still", simply because the trailers look good and I love that kind of spectacle bullshit. I don't give a fucking shit about "Wolverine", I hate the character, he's ruined X-Men in general and I hope the movie fucking bombs like Hiroshima. I hope anything that Fox touches that has an "X" and "Men" in it bombs too. Then maybe they'll let the right lapse, Marvel films can get the characters back and do a decent X-Men movie FINALLY. Actually, I hope the exact same thing about ever Marvel property that isn't in their hands. I hope Raimi makes two ABOMINABLE sequels that have people literally vomiting in disgust. I want Marvel to have the rights back to all their characters, because they seem to be the only people who actually get them. Fuck FOX.
"Help me! This is Hugh Jackman! I'm trapped inside a character! No matter what I do from now on, I'll always be Wolverine! I can't escape! Even when they offer me a crappy spin-off, I have to play him! I'll be playing him when I'm 80 at this rate! Help me! I'm Hugh Jackman! Help me!"
I am grateful that this character will be paying my bills for the rest of my life and I do not care if my standards are so low that each x-movie I'm in is worse than the last. In fact I will be in every X-movie regardless of if it makes sense for me to be there or not.
Maybe if I play Wolverine enough nobody will notice how gay I am.
Fuck all ya'll I'm super stoked for both these movies. Do I wish The Day The Earth Stood Still had a different title? Of course, but I like the global warming root they're taking, and I think they might actually destroy the world in it. Just maybe. Also I fucking love Keanu Reeves. Sorry. As for Wolverine, fucking bring it. Hugh Jackman in the first X-Men was the coolest dude I'd seen since Han Solo. And when he FUCKING MURDERED JEAN GREY at the end of x3 instead of kissing her like I thought, I fucking lost my shit. So fucking great. I'm stoked, and you whiners aren't going to change it. Too bad you're not down.
Based on how Wolverine turns his motorbike with his claws and crashes it into a helicopter, this film is going to be spectacular. If the Roth-rat doesn't fug id ub.
Hood is a great director, his take looks a lot grittier than Singers…or the other Rat's.
As for that Alien-Keanu thing, 0 interest.
My biggest dream is to be cast in Ridley Scott's MONOPOLY–Only then will I shed this gay image
I was in Swordfish and Halle Berry showed me her tits. Who's (not pixelated) tits have you seen lately? Thats right nerds. Nobodys. Who's the homo now! Who cares if my wife is ugly.
Who needs tits when I have fake claws and can make out with rebecca romin stamos and famke jansen in x3…
I was in "The Fountain" dipshits. You know, the best movie EVER? Shut yer traps.
What's running through Hugh's mind in this picture:
"Gotta look mean, gotta look fierce. I'm Wolverine for fuck's sake. Grrr. Oh my, that PA is delicious. I could just eat him up. Lick pancake batter off his ch–No, NO. Keep those thoughts in check, no one knows your secret Hugh. You're the sexiest man alive for christ's sake. Sexiest man, sexiest man, sexiest man, sex with men, sex with men, SEX WITH MEN. Ah christ, I'm getting a chubby. Dead puppies. Dead puppies. That's better. Get it together, Hugh. You're one of the X-Men. X-MEN. X as in SEX. Sex. Men. Sex. Men. Sex with men. Bring on the batter and syrup. STOP THAT!! You've got a reputation to uphold. Damn erection. Go down. Go down!! Go down on me you tasty piece of man – NO, NO! Keep it together, Jackman. Dead puppies, dead puppies. Not working. Think of your wife. That's it, your wife. Your womanly wife. Her wrinkly face and boobs. Vagina. Vagina. Vagina. Ewww. That did it – all soft now… Alright, look fierce. Grrr. Jazz claws."
Wow, someone's got a big gay hard-on for Hugh Jackman…how many times did you "clear your cookies" to get all those comments in numbnuts?
That picture is wrong isn't it? The claws are sitting on the backs of his hands. I mean I know that's how the claws look in the comics, but I thought I remember in the X-Men movies the claws came out from between his fingers which was something that, from a structural standpoint, made more sense to me anyway.
I hope this movie is at least decent, but really it should have been R-rated and fierce as hell anyway. The few times wolverine let loose and dispatched motherfuckers in X2 were pretty great. However the film finally shakes out, they're fucking wasting Jackman on such a limp effort.
