Last Chance To See ‘Logan’ In Theaters As Special Noir Event

by AllieHanley

Alamo Drafthouse once again proves why it’s the best theater chain in America with their upcoming, and one night only screening of a noir version of “Logan.”

Drafthouse and 20th Century Fox teaming up to show the film as a noir is a brilliantly appropriate event that both pays homage to the genre as well as giving fans one last chance to see Hugh Jackman on the big screen as Wolverine. This one-time screening event will be followed by an exclusive, live streamed Q & A with director James Mangold across the country beginning at 8 PM EST on Tuesday, May 16th.

The black and white version is a stunning send off to the most brutal telling in the X-Men cinematic universe as Logan and Professor X’s stories come to an end.

Also, Los Angeles fans will also get the chance to see “Logan” slash through the big screen as Alamo Drafthouse and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment co-present LOGAN NOIR with American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre. Tickets for all screenings are available now at drafthouse.com/logannoir.

“It’s an absolute honor to bring this unique and very special chapter to Alamo Drafthouse,” said Tim League, Alamo Drafthouse founder and CEO. “Being able to do this with the film’s creator only adds to the gravity of the event and we plan to make this an epic evening in all of our theaters.”

Attendees in every location will be able to participate in the live discussion with Mangold via Twitter using the hashtag #AskAlamo.

Attendees are requested to wear only black and white clothing and as a parting gift commemorating Logan’s final ride, all theater guests in monochromatic attire will receive an exclusive commemorative event poster.

Hugh Jackman Tweets Upcoming ‘Logan’ Poster

by Bigyanks

Just in time for NYCC, Hugh Jackman has just tweeted the first poster for the upcoming Wolverine movie simply titled ‘Logan’.

screen-shot-2016-10-05-at-11-37-50-am

Now that we know the name and an imagery of a young hand holding Logan’s hand, this will surely feed the flames that the final movie might just be loosely based on the ‘Old Man Logan’ comic book story line. The 2008 storyline featuring an old, washed-up Logan in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Marvel Universe. In this story  line, the Hulk has taken over part of the land with his gang of inbred children that live to make Logan’s life miserable. Obviously things will have to be altered because of the different  character ownerships.

The director James Mangold followed up Hugh Jackman’s tweet with two of his own, releasing an official image of the poster and a readable shot of the 2nd page of the script. After reading the page, seems to kind of confirm at least an Old Man Logan will be seen, but nothing about the plot of the movie.

‘The Wolverine’ Sequel To Be Rated R? First Logo Revealed!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Please be true.

This past weekend at the New York Toy Fair, Fox handed out a pamphlet to attendees noting all of their upcoming theatrical and home video releases.

Being just a year away at this point, the highly anticipated sequel to 2013’s The Wolverine made the pamphlet, giving us our very first logo for the feature, as well as noting a ‘Targeted Rating’ of R.

This comes at a time when the R-rated Deadpool shattered (and continues to shatter) financial expectations, breaking box office records, and this draw is likely to continue with the fantastic word of mouth that everyone has been giving the feature.

Based on that, if there was ever an appropriate time for a more mature Wolverine film, that time is now, and we can only hope that this wasn’t a misprint. That said, is it a safe move to take a PG/PG-13 character that people of all ages have been watching for years, and give him a more mature angle? I could anticipate a lot of angry parents ignorine ratings and walking out of theatres with their young ones.

Take a look at the image below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see in the next The Wolverine! The film hits theatres on March 3rd, 2017!

Did Hugh Jackman Announce He’s Retiring Wolverine on Instagram?

by Eric Francisco

I’m not sure how Hugh Jackman feels about his Wolverine role anymore. On numerous occasions I’ve heard him rave about how he could do something like forty more movies as the Canadian beast, and other times I hear he’s ready to quit. I don’t fault Jackman for finding the role tiresome as an actor; beyond needing to be so physically ripped, it can get boring for anybody playing the same dude for over twelve or thirteen years. But he’s so natural as Logan too, it’s kind of a bummer that there will inevitably be a time when the Wolverine we see on screen isn’t Hugh Jackman.

But are we closer to that day than we realize? Hugh Jackman posted on his Instagram today this oddly cryptic-but-blatant photo.

Screen Shot 2015-03-28 at 2.14.13 PM

Maybe I’m so out of the loop but is Wolverine 3 even in production right now? The status of that movie hasn’t been my priority so I kind of glaze over any news bits that finds their way online, which is a shining example of responsible journalism.

Coming straight from the man himself, this should put to rest any rumors about Jackman’s further involvement in the X-Men series until we hear otherwise.

‘Chappie’ Gets Two Gorgeous New TV Spots

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie is finally just a few weeks away, and Sony today debuted two new TV spots for the anticipated film.

I’m beyond excited for the film, and at this point it looks more like District 9 than Elysium, which can only be good for the full feature. Not familiar with the film? Here’s the synopsis:

Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there’s one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever.

You can take a look at the new spots below (and check out the latest trailer here if you missed it), and be sure to let us know what you think! Chappie hits theatres on March 6th!

‘Chappie’ Gets A Fantastic Second Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The second trailer for District 9 and Elysium director Neil Blomkamp’s next film, Chappie, hit the web today, and it’s definitely a great follow up to the affective teaser from a few months back.

Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there’s one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever.

You definitely see themes and elements in the trailer that we’ve seen many times before, but this time around, it feels different. Humans, of course, made Chappie, and as humans do (and as the trailer notes) for some reason we must fear and destroy anything that we don’t understand. I sure hope that Chappie makes it out of this one, though I know it won’t be unscathed.

Also, one of Jon’s dogs is named Chappy, so it gets extra points for that one. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think. Chappie hits theatres on March 6th, 2015.

Grab Your Tissues: Here’s The First Trailer For Neil Blomkamp’s ‘Chappie’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The first trailer for District 9 and Elysium director Neil Blomkamp’s next film, Chappie, hit the web today, and I have to say that it’s one of the most emotional trailers that I’ve seen in some time.

Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man.

Watch Hugh Jackman Audition For The Role Of Wolverine!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This is very cool.

Hugh Jackman has definitely grown into the Wolverine role over the years. He was badass in the first X-Men, but most would agree that he fits the character even better now.

Want to see his audition tape? Yeah you do. It features plenty of dialogue from the final film (as well as a bunch that didn’t make it), and it also makes us realize that X-Men hit theatres nearly 15 years ago (I was only 9).

Take a look at the video below, and let us know how old it makes you feel.

Watch Hugh Jackman Interview His Past Self In A New ‘Days Of Future Past’ Promo

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: X-Men: Days of Future Past is just two weeks away from theatres, and Yahoo! has just launched an awesome interview with Hugh Jackman… being interviewed by Hugh Jackman.

Yep, they sent him back to 1999, and the two have a conversation about X-Men, comic book movies, Hugh’s career, which of his films have been the best, and which ones to avoid. It’s pretty hilarious, and definitely worth the watch.

Check out the video below, and let us know what you think! X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theatres on May 22nd!

Watch Hugh Jackman Sing A Hilarious Wolverine Themed ‘Les Mis’ Spoof

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This is too funny not to share.

BBC Radio 1 has published a YouTube video titled ‘Wolverine The Musical – Hugh Jackman’, and it’s… well, exactly that. The video features Wolverine himself singing a rewritten (and unrehearsed) song from Les Mis, adapted, of course, to the life of Wolverine and Jackman.

Geekscape Review: The Wolverine Unleashed

by S.J. Borger

The Wolverine premiered in July 2013 to solid reviews and a strong box office, and just in time for the holidays, is being released to blu-ray (Dec. 3rd) and digital HD (available now). The DVD contains an unrated, director’s cut version of the film that is being referred to as The Wolverine Unleashed.

The extended version does away with the PG13 rating (and the pesky MPAA regulations that go along with it), adding some more gore, some f-bombs (for a total of three) and a subtle darkening of the Wolverine’s character. As the Wolverine has always been one of Marvel’s darker characters this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The film’s plot remains mostly unchanged from the cinematic release, which is a new take on the story line from the 1982 limited series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. The blu-ray will ship out with an alternate ending (maybe we’ll actually see Wolverine in his trademark blue & gold?), a documentary film titled Path of the Ronin, a set tour and an audio commentary in edition to the extended cut of the film.

Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine and Rila Fukushima as Yukio in The Wolverine.

The Wolverine breaks the Marvel/Comic-book hero/tent-pole movie mold by not being about saving the world, or the universe, or even the galaxy. At its heart, the film is about discovering ones self and one’s place in the world–offset by scenes of heart-pumping, metal-clashing, arrow-flying and knife-throwing action. While some leaps in relationships and motivations are somewhat….convenient, The Wolverine offers up a conflicted hero, strong women not needing to be rescued (at least not all the time) and a satisfyingly heroic story. The ending is still somewhat problematic (though the extended version offers up some much more thrilling fight sequences in the end that should leave Wolverine fans cheering) but since Mangold and Jackman are both in talks for a sequel, hopefully that will be resolved in the next edition.

The Wolverine is available on Digital HD now from the official website, and will be out on Blu-ray on December 3rd. It stars Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine, Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida, Rila Fukushima as Yukio and Hiroyuki Sanada as Shingen Yashida, and was directed by James Mangold.

James Mangold, Hugh Jackman To Return For ‘The Wolverine’ Sequel!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s not officially official yet (Director James Mangold is still in negotiations), but it looks like we’re set to get another The Wolverine.

Deadline reports that the film is now in the works, with Mangold in talks to write the treatment for the film (and likely subsequently direct, since he did a pretty bang-up job on the first).

No information on the film’s storyline has been revealed, but we’ll be sure to share it as soon as we hear more!

Hugh Jackman Joins Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Chappie’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Neill Blomkamp’s second feature film, Elysium, hit theatres a few months back, making some massive dough at the box office. Within days, his third feature, a robot tale called Chappie, was greenlit.

Today, it was revealed that Hugh Jackman has joined the project. Jackman announced today at a Prisoners press conference that “I am doing a role in Neill’s new film, called Chappie, which we shoot in Johannesburg. I’m there for a couple of weeks at the beginning of next year.”

Plot details for Chappie are still scarce, though we do know that it tells the story of a robot imbued with artificial intelligence who is stolen by two local gangsters who want to use him for their own nefarious purposes.

There’s no word yet on what role Jackman will play in the film, but we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we find out!

Fourth ‘The Wolverine’ Clip Debuts Online!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Another day, another new clip from The Wolverine.

The clip (along with all of the others) is action packed, this time showcasing a battle between Logan and Shingen. It doesn’t impress me as much as yesterday’s World War II clip did, but it’s still heads and shoulders above that first, ridiculous train clip.

Take a look at the new clip below, and let us know what you think! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th!

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.

Third ‘The Wolverine’ Clip Released

by Derek Kraneveldt

Following the train and funeral clips from earlier this week, Fox today debuted a third clip for James Mangold’s highly anticipated The Wolverine.

This one is easily the best of the three, taking us all the way back to World War II, when Logan saves a very particular soldier. The clip looks great, and brings back some of the excitement that I lost after seeing that awful train scene.

Yukio Featurette For ‘The Wolverine’ Released

by Derek Kraneveldt

Fox today debuted a new featurette for The Wolverine, this time spotlighting the female ronin, Yukio.

This one is short and sweet, clocking in at just under a minute long. That being said, it does feature some cool new footage of the character, as well as explain exactly why Yukio is doing what she’s doing.

Take a look at the new featurette below, and let us know if you’re excited for the film! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th!

Watch A Second Clip From ‘The Wolverine’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Following yesterday’s ridiculous first clip, Fox today debuted another scene from the highly anticipated The Wolverine.

This one is leaps and bounds ahead of what we saw yesterday, and features a fight breaking out during a funeral. The action and effects all look infinitely more polished than what we’ve already seen, and there are definitely some impressive shots in this latest clip. I certainly hope that the bulk of the film looks closer to what we see here than the physics-less mess that we saw yesterday.

Fox today debuted the first clip from this month’s highly anticipated release of James Mangold’s The Wolverine. We’ve seen pieces of this scene in almost every trailer so far, but somehow, seeing it all together makes me a little less excited for the film.

I’m all for suspending belief, but this is just ridiculous. I won’t spoil things for you, so take a look at the clip below, and let us know what you think! The Wolverine hits theatres on July 26th, and hopefully the bulk of it is a lot better than this scene!

Watch A New Featurette For ‘The Wolverine’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

We’re just a few weeks away from the highly anticipated release of The Wolverine, and Fox has just launched a new featurette promoting the film.

The video features plenty of exciting new footage for the film, and I actually found the scenes shown off here more exciting than any other preview that we’ve already seen.

I wasn’t overly excited for The Wolverine when the first trailer debuted online, but the film’s current marketing (plus those amazing sumi-e posters) are all really amping me up for the feature.

Three New Character Posters From ‘The Wolverine’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Just yesterday, Fox released a beautiful sumi-e The Wolverine poster featuring Jean Grey. Today, three more characters got the sumi-e treatment. The latest posters feature Harada, Mariko, and Shingen, and just as before, I’d love to get every single one of these up on my wall.

If the film turns out half as good as these posters, we’re in for a treat with The Wolverine. Check out the new images below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

Jean Grey Gets Her Own ‘The Wolverine’ Poster!

by Derek Kraneveldt

I’d love to frame and mount every single poster for The Wolverine. The incredible sumi-e art style has impressed me since the very first teaser image, and today’s Jean Grey is just as awesome.

It’s unknown just how prominent Famke Janssen’s role in the film will be, but it has been confirmed that she will appear in a flashback sequence. The actress was a great choice for the Jean Grey character, and I can’t wait to see some new scenes with her.

Hugh Jackman Tells The Hilarious Story Of His ‘Wolverine’ Audition

by Derek Kraneveldt

It’s tough to think all the way back to the year 2000 (I was just 10 years old at the time), and it’s even harder to think that Hugh Jackman was ever not one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Just over a decade ago, Jackman played the leading role of Curly in London’s West End adaptation of Oklahoma. It was at this time that he (and everyone else in the world) would audition for the role of Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men. The rest of course, is history.

Watch him tell the hilarious and inspiring story in an interview with SiriusXM below. Jackman’s highly anticipted next film, The Wolverine, opens on July 24th!

New International Trailer For James Mangold’s ‘The Wolverine’

by Shawn Madden

A new Japanese trailer has been released for James Mangold’s The Wolverine, or Wolverine: Samurai as it’s called in the trailer. It’s mostly a re-cut of the previously seen trailer for the film but does feature some small bits of new footage. Check it out below.

Spinning out of the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, Logan (Hugh Jackman) travels to Japan where he falls for the beautiful Mariko Yashida (Tao Okamoto) to the grave displeasure of her father Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi) and her half-brother, the fearsome Silver Samurai (Will Yun Lee). But this isn’t Logan’s first trip to the Land of the Rising Sun or his first encounter with the Yashida clan. Based on a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie) and Mark Bomback (Live Free or Die Hard, Total Recall )and the comic book by Frank Miller and Chris Claremont.
