Well, Latino Review seems to have read the first draft script from David Benioff. He seems to be very enthused about it and from what he said, it seems promising to me (being a huge Wolverine fan from comics and film). Here is the link.

Rating: B+

WOLVERINE
By David Benioff Current revision by David Ayer

102 pages, dated 06/01/06

Yo! The net’s numero uno script reviewer El Almighty Mayimbe here with yet another huge script frying in my salten (Frying pan for all you non Latino folks). With the summer blockbuster season in full swing and the 4th of July around the corner, we got ourselves the script for a sure to be summer blockbuster film written by David Benioff…WOLVERINE! Yes, the good folks at Latinoreview got ourselves the very kick ass Wolverine script!

Yes, that’s the verdict the script kicks ass bub!

Off the bat, yes this is a prequel before the current slate of X-Men films and yes this is about Logan and the Weapon X program. I’m just the messenger, so be nice and get over it.

A few things, yesterday was announced that supposedly the film will come out in 2007 then it got corrected that because there is not a director and because of Hugh Jackman’s busy schedule we won’t see it until 2008.

That’s a bummer because in my opinion, the script is ready to go. The structure is there, the beats are there, the plot is there and it works. The script flows well and is very organic.

Now before ya’ll ask since this is a prequel, no, unfortunately no Frank Miller samurai stuff but yes we see Logan back in Vietnam.

Now I still haven’t seen X-Men 3, being Latino, I’m waiting for it to come out on bootleg (just kidding)! But seriously, since I hear from fans that it is not all that, I’ll get to it before they pull it from the theaters but Wolverine for sure will put the steam in the mutant movie genre.

As a comic book origin movie, WOLVERINE is one of the better ones. It’s not corny.

Ok, so let’s take a sneak peek at ACT 1 of the script…I will paint broad strokes and keep the spoilers lite.

In the 1st four pages we meet Logan as a 12 yr old boy, undersized and feral on a rural road on his way home from school. I couldn’t help stop thinking of feral kid from the Mad Max films. But anyway 4 towering high school football players pick him on. They pick on him because Logan’s dad robbed the local truck stop last year. Logan doesn’t back down as GILMAN punches Logan in the face twice. The gash on Logan’s face heals itself in front of Gilman and Logan goes into an inhuman rage and beats the shit out of the football players. Three bone claws spring from Logan’s hand, serrated and razor sharp as he goes in to finish Gilman. This is the first time that Logan’s bone claws appear to him and he is shocked more than his attackers. The football players’ escape alive and Logan looks at his bone claws and screams out…

…Logan in present day wakes up. It was a dream from his childhood. His girlfriend, 25-year-old KAYLA SILVERFOX, a full-blooded innu, wakes up with Logan and calms him down. Logan shredded the bed sheets while he was dreaming. He also scratched her by accident during the dream. Logan reminds her that they need new bed sheets and with that said, we cut to the INCITING INCIDENT scene at a Carnival in this New England town that has this mutant named BEAK. Beak hangs out in this trailer with SHERRLENE, and plays gin and drinks rum. A knock is heard outside the trailer, Beak opens the door and a towering figure in a long black coat looms besides the trailer’s door.

VICTOR CREED (who we know will become Sabretooth) is shrouded in the shadows. He grins and his white fangs gleam. You see in the script, Victor Creed is going around killing mutants and is on some Terminator mutant killing spree. Beak begs for his life but Creed kills him.

Back at Logan’s cabin in Canada, he smokes a cheap cigar and chops foxwood. TWO GOVERNMENT types in dark suits and black overcoats approach Logan. One of them is STYRKER (the Brian Cox character from the x-men films) who was a colonel in the Special Forces. The other is CRISTOPH NORD, a.k.a. AGENT ZERO who looks more like a death row convict than a military man. A family of tattooed spiders walks down Nord’s neck.

There is a history between Nord and Logan and the memories are not fond. Stryker and Nord work with the Department of Agriculture, Pest control division. They work with exterminators. This is a call to adventure/refusal of the call scene because Stryker wants Logan back. He reminds Logan that he is a born warrior and that he can’t hide that forever. Logan prefers his $18,500 yearly job as a lumberjack and is content chopping down trees because he hasn’t killed anyone in 3 years. Stryker is putting together a team, best men in the business, men with special qualities like Logan. A team of hunters that go after some very bad people. Logan refuses. Stryker warns and tells Logan that mutants are being killed. The killers have names and they have addresses. Logan tells Stryker that he can take care of himself. Stryker tells Logan to forget about himself, that his country needs him and Logan tells Stryker that he is Canadian. Logan leaves.

Logan picks up Kayla at her job. She is a 4th grade schoolteacher. He tells her that Colonel Stryker wants him back and that he refused. They go back to their cabin and have a moonlit romantic evening where Kayla goes into this innu myth exposition about the Wolverine animal. Outside the cabin, something watches from the dark woods, something monstrous, its black talons carving gashes in the trunk of a pine tree.

We cut to the next morning where Kayla drops off Logan at his job at the logging camp. She leaves. Later Logan and his coworkers, 3 lumberjacks, discover a severed bear’s head, haloed by buzzing flies, as it rots in the sun. One of the lumberjacks inquire why would the hunter leave the head? Logan says that a bullet didn’t kill the bear, claws did.

On a narrow access road, Kayla drives her truck and nearly collides with a man in a long black coat. The man’s back is turned to the truck, his head bowed. His hair hangs below his shoulders, clotted with dirt, as if he’s been sleeping in the woods for weeks. Kayla leans out of the open truck window. Before she can speak, the man in the long black coat turns. It’s not just his size that is scary, though the man is massive. It’s not the four inch long black talons curling from his fingertips, or the gleaming fangs he licks as he smiles at her. What is most terrifying is his eyes. They are a shark’s eyes. Black and loveless and utterly inhuman.

It’s VICTOR CREED.

He walks toward the truck and scrapes his talons over the hood. Five parallel gashes now scar the hood, carved straight to steel.

Back at the timber stand, Logan and his hearing (kind of like Superman) hear a distant scream. The scream is familiar to Logan. He runs for dear life toward the access road. He gets there too late. A pool of blood is beneath Kayla who is curled in fetal position on the side of the road.

Victor Creed killed Kayla!

Logan cradles Kayla in his arms. He rocks her back and forth, her lifeless body clutched tightly in his arms, his eyes clenched shut. The veins in Logan’s neck bulge, every muscle in his body tenses, as if there is a beast inside Logan trying to break free of his skin.

We cut to the local dive bar, Casady’s Bar & Grill where Victor Creed is enjoying his George Dickel Tennessee whiskey. He asks the owner if he has insurance on the place because it is about to get ugly.

Logan walks into the tavern, sniffing the air. He sees Creed sitting there on the barstool and then all hell breaks loose. Creed and Logan brawl for the next 3 pages and Creed beats the shit out of Logan, the beating is so bad that Logan’s healing factor cannot keep up with the violence done to his body by Creed. Creed crushes Logan’s bone claws and leaves him for dead.

We cut to an emergency room where Logan is brought in. His healing factor saved his life and worked it’s magic before the doctors attend to Logan. Stryker is there. Logan wants to know where Creed is. Stryker tells Logan that he can help Logan find Creed. Creed escaped from an ultramax penitentiary in Nevada last year and that he started murdering mutants. Stryker tells Logan that Creed has the list, the list of every known mutant in North America. Government has been keeping it for years. Names, addresses, everything. Logan asks how did Creed get the list? Stryker informs Logan that someone must have leaked it to him. There are people in Washington who want to see all the mutants destroyed. Logan tells Stryker that his plan is to find Creed and end him. Stryker tells Logan that he can’t beat Creed the way Logan is now. Not unless Stryker gives Logan tools. Stryker tells Logan that if he comes with him, Logan will suffer more pain than any other man could bear and that Logan will have his revenge.

We cut to Alkali Lake where a black helicopter lands on a concrete helipad inside the walls of a massive compound. Logan, Stryker, and Agent Zero roll out of the helicopter.

Next in a surgical prep room, Logan lies naked on his back on an examining table. We meet a red-bearded scientist DR. CORNELIUS and an Army surgeon CAROL HINES. They are going to make Logan indestructible. Stryker leaves and Hines catches up to him in the corridor. Hines is concerned that Logan might not survive the experiment.

It’s no secret to comic book and movie fans that the experiment is obviously the Adamantium bonding process to Logan’s bones.

We cut to a surgical theater where Hines and two medical technicians accompany Logan to a water filled plexiglass tank the size of a lidless coffin. An array of stainless steel machines crowds around the tank, including a series of robotic arms that taper into foot-long needles. One wall of the theater is glass. Behind the glass is the control room, where Stryker looks on, hands behind his back. Dr. Cornelius and several support staff enter data into computers monitoring the experiment. Logan removes his robe and hands it to Hines before stepping into the tank of water. One of the technicians fastens a breathing tube, connected to an oxygen tank, to Logan’s mouth. Logan lies down, submerging himself in the cold water. The technician clamps Logan’s wrists and ankles into place with stainless-steel shackles bolted to the plexiglass walls.

Logan’s eyes are wide open, as he watches the robotic arms swivel into place, poised above him like a gang of metal vipers.

In the control room, GENERAL MUNSON stands in the back of the room, observing the experiment with great interest. Agent Zero leans against the back wall, bored, cracking his knuckles.

Logan lies underwater, watching as the robotic arms descend toward him. The needles begin to spin at high speed, like massive power drills. They churn the water when they enter. Logan closes his eyes as the needles enter his body. In the control room, Cornelius gives the order to commence feed. The technicians enter commands, watching close-up images of the procedure on their monitors. Logan writhes in the tank. Twelve long needles have drilled into his bones, including his skull commencing the feed at a rate of twenty-nine cc’s per second. Coño that must hurt!

In the control room, Stryker addresses the general. The general is witnessing medical history in the making as they begun bonding adamantium to Weapon X’s skeleton. General Munson tried to use that stuff for tank armor but it is too damn expensive. It took 3 years to prepare enough alloys for the skeleton. The General says that if the experiment works, Weapon X won’t be walking through any metal detectors.

Stryker’s response is that if the experiment works, Weapon X will walk wherever he wants and with that said we reach the end of the 1st act and our sneak preview.

As a treat for comic book fans, because I know I am going to get asked this, what mutants or who else is in this you might ask?

* ¨ Logan’s buddy from back in his military days JOHN WRAITH.
¨ FRED J. DUKES a.k.a. THE BLOB
¨ BARBARUS a brutally muscled mutant with four arms, all sleeved in tattoos.

What else? The whole Weapon X experiment has a much larger role in this script and in Stryker’s overall plan, we get to see Logan in berserker mode, the origin of his name, the eventual rematch with Creed, and of course his eventual memory loss, which is handled here and quite nicely I might add.


Even though some fans prefer to see the whole weapon x thing resolved in the x-men films, I disagree, I think it should be handled in his own stand alone film ever since I saw the flashbacks and hints of Wolverine’s origins in the films. You can see since the x-men films that they were already setting up this current screenplay. I was salivating at the thought of a Weapon X film. Even though this is a prequel film, it is possible there could be more than one Wolverine film, perhaps his own trilogy. This one stands well on its own and leaves it open for sequels.

My biggest treat so far in scripts this year has been reading the Transformers and now Wolverine. David Benioff is a very good writer and he did his homework and earned his paycheck. He found a way to balance and make the comic and movie counterparts tie in together in an organic way. I’m sure the lot of you won’t be disappointed. As long as the script is there and it’s on the page (which it is), the studio has a blueprint to make a successful film, whether 2007 or 2008. So don’t worry it won’t be rushed. So all you anti-Tom Rothman fans get off his nut sack, he did a good thing by getting himself a top-notch writer who delivered.

So here is hoping that we see this in 2007, everyone have a happy 4th of July, I’m off to detonate blockbusters and bottle rockets, and stick to us Latin boys here at Latinoreview to keep bringing you the 1st looks at the hottest screenplays for the hottest upcoming potential blockbusters. As the song goes from the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, nobody does it better. [/align][/spoil]

For those of you who are tired of the Weapon X stuff, I'm sorry.

Sounds decent, if thats the way they go with it, I guess. I guess I just don't buy Jackman's Wolverine. Maybe with the focus is shifted solely on him, and with less crying, it might play out more believably.

Well, Jackman has had his moments. He was probably closer to it in X-MEN than in X2 or 3. The first 20 minutes of X-Men I think is great for the Wolverine character. You are right about him crying alot but that is more of a writer/director thing than Jackman. The thing that bothers me about him is in X3. Since when is Wolverine a leader or role model to younger X-Men? I know Jubilee use to ride his coat tails back in the day, but him making speeches about sticking together and game planning? :roll:

I agree Wolverine was toned down and less of an "animal" in the later X-men's but we can attribute that to Professor X keeping him in check, just like he was doing to Jean Grey.

Also since he's such a popular character and notable figure, I think the audience wanted to see him in a leadership role. Plus, who else was going to lead the team in X3?

I didn't read the linked review in the above post, but if this movie takes place before the 1st X-men movie, or after the 3rd one, I guess we should expect a more aggressve unplugged Wolverine.

Bryan Singer interested in Wolverine; X-Men 4?

I call bullshit on this for now, but it is damn interesting.

Singer acknowledged that he has also been approached to direct the next "X-Men" movie — he directed the first two well-received films before turning over the reigns for the third installment to Brett Ratner — but said he wouldn't have time to take on another large-scale project before the next Superman gets underway. He is interested, however, in seeing the script for the "X-Men" spinoff "Wolverine."

It's looking like Fall 08 for the release along with Bond 22. Probably both in November. :heavymetal:

Is the Benioff script being tweaked or even rewritten?

[spoil]
[align=left]IGN has learned from a reliable source that screenwriter Skip Woods has been brought in to revise David Benioff's screenplay for Wolverine.

The Fox brass are said to be high on Woods' work on the forthcoming game-to-film Hitman and have tapped the scribe to rewrite their X-Men spin-off. Our source added that Woods' draft will amount to "more than a polish" of the existing screenplay.

Woods also scripted Swordfish starring Hugh Jackman, who also stars in and produces Wolverine. The Gavin Hood-directed superhero film reportedly chronicles Logan's adventures prior to joining the X-Men. Filming gets under way this November in Australia for a 2008 release.[/align]

[align=left]Exclusive: "Gavin Hood, Why Wolverine?"
Source: Edward Douglas September 29, 2007

It's hard to talk to director Gavin Hood, maker of the South African Oscar-winner Tsotsi, for a few minutes, because he's such an astute and lively talker that he always has a lot to say on any subject. When we spoke to him about his new political thriller Rendition, we were so caught up in his enthusiasm about the film that we barely had a chance to get to his Wolverine prequel before he was dragged away by a New Line rep. Since we probably only had a chance for one question, we decided to go for the most obvious one. Because Hood would not seem to be the most obvious director to want to do a studio movie centered around a superhero, we asked that age-old question, "Why?"

"What appeals to me about the Wolverine character of all the other characters is that my feeling that he's the one that suffers from the most existential angst," he began. "Since I'm a guy who loves emotional complexity, it seemed to me that… when I was first approached to do it, my first thought was, 'What? Me? Do this? What is that? I don't know enough about comic book characters.' And of course, I then did some further research and I realized that the character of Wolverine, I think his great appeal lies in the fact that he's someone who in some ways, is filled with a great deal of self-loathing by his own nature and he's constantly at war with his own nature.

It seemed to me that really what it is, is that it's a little like great Greek mythology, which is something I've always been in love with where the Greek Gods threw thunderbolts and Poseidon conjured up storms, but those mythological stories were designed to examine emotional truths. It seems to me that the character of Wolverine epitomizes in a modern context, a kind of great mythical tradition of using larger-than-life characters in order to play with and examine human emotion at a sort of operatic level." (Holy Sh*t! Is that an awesome answer or what?)

And before his New Line handler grabbed the phone out of his hand and hung up on us, we got to squeeze out one more question about whether he might shoot in Japan, as one might expect from a Wolverine prequel, especially considering the director's globetrotting resume:

"No, sadly no. We're not going to Japan," he responded then mischievously added, "I think that will be in 'Wolverine 2' but I won't say any more than that."

Wolverine, done right, will be a bad ass movie. I haven't seen any of Gavin Hoods previous films, but he sounds like he has the right mindset to point this thing in the right direction. The only thing that worries me with his take on things is that while reading the above interview, I suddenly remembered the X2 'Crying' (wtf?!) moment. And I hope that someone with a brain doesn't let that happen again. Sure, Mr Howlett is an emotionally complex individual, sure he's been through a lot, but that doesn't mean he has to be all pussy about it fercryinoutloud. As long as Jackman doesn't get all watery eyed, I'm going to geek out all over this thing.

Wow. Somebody got a gym membership. He sure looks a lot more like what I expected the whole time. Now if they can just make him act more Wolverine-ish, this might be going somewhere.

Yeah Jackman IS Wolverine no doubts there. SHH.com by way of healthbrands.com.au has story about how Jackman is getting bulked and ripped for the upcoming Wolverine Prequel.


Filming of the upcoming movie Wolverine begins soon, with star Hugh Jackman working out in preparation for his role. Personal trainer Michael Ryan has been helping Hugh achieve greater muscle mass and significantly lower body fat, in order to transform himself into the beastly character he'll portray.

...

In terms of training, Michael has given Hugh a high intensity weight training regimen with constant evolution; mixing the program up enough to shock the body into change. Medium amounts of cardio have also been used at the end of their workouts and in the early evening to encourage fat loss. To help them attain these goals the dynamic duo are using Aussie Bodies Mega Weight Gainer with other products including branch-chain amino acids, L-Carnitine, Arginine, and a slow release protein formula.

We asked Michael if he has any other dietary or training tips for people who need to bulk up in a certain time period. "There is no doubt the 6 meal per day theory works together with high protein to help reduce the potential to lose muscle mass. And it is important to use whey protein isolate and not some of the inferior products out there" he said.

Yup, that's exactly what I meant. I doubt PS work, because the shadows they cast look perfect, but the point where the claws should pierce the flesh isn't there... the end of the claws is just hovering above the back of the hand.

I'm pretty sure that's some kind of hand held prop. Jackman appears to be more concerned with flexing than holding it just right and it 'popped' away from his hands just a bit as the pic was napped. Bad news for nit-picky fans (no offense, I noticed it too), good news for bladed weapons enthusiasts. Kind of like brass-knuckles, except a lot longer and sharper. When is someone going to do a replica of those, I wonder.

I could be wrong, that's just how it looks from here.

How does the "no shooting in Japan" for this one jibe with the pagoda-esque building in the background?

AICN says that Deadpool will be in this. could be cool. Designed by Rob Liefeld I believe back in the late 80's. Here's what a Deadpool looks like:

Deadpool is also a smart ass in the comics. AICN is reporting that Ryan Reynolds is rumored to be playing the villain. That sounds awesome to me.

EDIT: Now, SuperHeroHype is reporting that Taylor Kitsch has been signed as Gambit in the movie. Kitsch can be seen in Friday Night Lights on NBC.

The pagoda-esque building is one of the sets here in New Zealand where it's being shot. It's not the first time New Zealand has cinematically subbed for Japan.

Well, it's less about the actual location of the shooting (my fault, I shouldn't have phrased it that way) and more about what it says for the story. If Wolvie's staying away from Japan, what's a promo shot of him doing with a ostensibly Japanese setting as the backdrop?

I've long had an issue with this, so I modified his claws a bit to make them look like they're coming out of his hands more.

Those are very old quotes, M.

The Benioff script supposedly had a looking over from two other screenwriters. A trip to Japan may now be in the script.

As for Gambit, I hear that there are a lot of cameos for the fans. As Logan wanders around in search of Creed, I figure he may end up in New Orleans. I just don't want Remy in the Weapon X program.

Quote:
"20th Century Fox has provided EMPIRE with an exclusive new image of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It appears in mahoosive dimensions in the new issue of Empire, out this Friday. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is directed by Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) and tells, naturally, the origin of our favorite grumpy mutant. The film also stars Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, Ryan Reynolds, Will i Am and Dominic Monaghan. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is due out next summer."

Well I'm sold on this project. I still can't believe the guy that directed "Tostsi" and "Rendition" (both of which are way underrated, by the way) is behind a Wolverine flick but there you go.

I was thinking the exact same thing, but after seeing that teaser my hesitation was put aside and Bryan Singer officially ate shit and died.

As cool as it looked, I'm still curious about the direction. Jackman can be awesome but the movie might still suck. X3 still looked pretty good from previews but turned out to be a live-action cartoon. 'Wolverine' needs to be a gritty film - a hard PG-13 - to be great. I'd like to see a very realistic almost war-movie-ish style with grain and hand-held cameras. If it feels too much like X-men 4, it's going to be disappointing.

That one shot of Wolverine scraping the ground with his claws while on his bike owned me.

When I saw Gambit, shivers went down my spine.

:o Wow. Thanks for posting the trailer.

That has really jacked up my expectations for this one. 10x better than what I was expecting. I was unimpressed with Jackmans portrayal of Wolverine in the X-films. To me, he was "just almost passable" in the role. Judging by this clip at least, that had less to do with him and more to do with the crappy movies they were. Just my opinion, you folks can like the X-movies if you want. I didn't. But it looks like he really made an effort to get into character/better shape this time, and hopefully there will be an ultra-violent fight scene or two that might not seem as faked as the one's we got in the X's. Looks great.

If Sam Jackson shows up as a WWII grunt in this, I'm going to shit myself.

I hope we get this thing in 'glorious quicktime' some time soon. As a [convention] teaser, it actually does the job of a proper trailer, in terms of conveying the story.

Teaser is supposed to be with The Day The Earth Stood Still on December 12th. I think it's the same one from Comic-Con, but I'm not sure.

First released Gambit (Taylor Kitsch) pic. It's from EMPIRE Magazine.

I'll probably end up seeing this, but I'm still pissed at X3.

Enough with da fucking glamour shots of Wolverine already! geez

I guess they also gave him the uncanny mutant power to pose sexually with a wifebeater.


How about like splattering blood on that mutha or something a bit more rough??

I'm thinking Wolvie's big screen adventure will wipe the taste of X3 from our collective mouths. Oh yeah and HookLine, current avatar... :heavymetal: I'm reminded of a comment someone made a little while back about Liev Schreiber looking like a young Robert Fripp with his Sabretooth chops for the film.

Quoted for truth. The only thing that's missing from the second-to-last shot Hige posted is the Calvin Klein logo.

I got to figure we'll be getting the QuickTime HD version any day now.

Keep an eye out on Yahoo. They seem to get the jump on Apple trailers.
