'The Wolverine' trailer: 'A man can run out of things to live for' -- VIDEO

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was the story of how our favorite clawed misanthrope got his scowl back, while this year’s The Wolverine (which mostly ignores that earlier film, like, completely) is about a man ready to give that scowl — and those claws — up. In the new trailer, we get still more insight into how terrible Logan’s life has become. He’s having nightmares of killing Jean Grey and not caring for his wildman beard. And then an “old friend” discovers a cure for his immortality: ”A man can run out of things to live for.”

Psych! Logan has to fight with/against a number of rogues: Yukio, Viper, and the Silver Samurai. I kind of wish Dream-Jean was sticking around — Hemlock Grove gave Famke Janssen a nice lick of malice.

Watch the new trailer below.

New picture from 'The Wolverine': Claws, swords, and Hugh Jackman's ridiculous muscles

Director James Mangold just tweeted a new picture from the set of The Wolverine, his upcoming X-Men spinoff-sequel which promises to reboot the Wolverine mini-franchise with a long-awaited dose of samurai. (In industry nomenclature, this is known as a “samurai-quel.”) The image shows Wolverine star Hugh Jackman in a sharp-things duel with Hiroyuki Sanada, better known as “The Cool Guy From The Last Samurai.” Check it out: READ FULL STORY »

'The Wolverine' CinemaCon trailer: Everyone was kung-fu fighting -- VIDEO

In the new Wolverine teaser, featuring footage that exhibitors at CinemaCon previewed last month, Hugh Jackman spends the entire time flexing, sweating, and snarling. There’s not a lot of plot to dissect, but there’s plenty of quick-cut action — and a larger reveal of the Silver Samurai! — to reassure fans who feared the new movie was going to be a Malick-ian meditation on the meaning of life for a mutant immortal.

But did anyone really think director James Mangold’s take on the lone-wolf character was going to take a turn for the existential, after seeing the first few action-packed trailers? Wolverine is as Wolverine does.

'The Wolverine': Check out the cool Japanese poster

WOLVERINE-SAMURAI-POSTER

Even if The Wolverine doesn’t turn out to be a good movie, the Hugh Jackman spinoff-sequel-reboot has already made a contribution to film history with a series of cool film posters destined to adorn college dorms, gym locker rooms, and the desktop wallpaper of moody 14-year-olds across the country. Now comes a snazzy new poster for the film’s Japanese release, which features Logan holding a freshly-sliced sword, claws-out. The characters on either side of his head read “Death” and “Life.” Also, the word “Samurai” is written on the poster, lest we miss the point. READ FULL STORY »

The first full 'Wolverine' trailers hit, and Wolverine is mad in both -- VIDEO

The Wolverine continues its promotional roll-out with the double-debut of its first trailers, one domestic and one international. There’s plenty of overlap between the two of them, though the latter is moodier and more clear about the plot — which seems to be: Logan (Hugh Jackman) doesn’t want to be the Wolverine any more until he does, at the offer of possible humanity. But watch out for ninjas! A woman also pulls off her face at the cheekbones.

Stay tuned for Darren Franich’s deep dive later in the day.

'The Wolverine' poster: And now, Hugh Jackman bares his chest

Wolverine

You may not have noticed this before, but Hugh Jackman works out. Like, a lot. That’s the takeway from the new international poster for The Wolverine, the upcoming sequel-reboot-vacation which sends Jackman’s clawed X-Man to Tokyo to fight ninjas, samurai, and [mournful violin] himself. The new poster isn’t as cool as the Blade Runner-y motion poster or the beautifully stark ink-wash poster. But it does have approximately 1000% more Jackman Pecs than the other two posters combined. Check it out below: READ FULL STORY »

'The Wolverine': Director James Mangold tweets six-second teaser of trailer featuring...Jean Grey!!

Today was a big one for fans eagerly anticipating this summer’s The Wolverine. Not only did EW premiere 8 exclusive new images from the July 26th flick but now director James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma) has tweeted a vine of the trailer (the full one will be online Wednesday). The biggest shock in this six-second blitz? Famke Janssen’s Jean Grey! The Wolverine takes place AFTER X-Men: The Last Stand in which Grey perished so this must be some sort of dream sequence. EW asked Mangold if online rumors were true that Janssen shot a cameo for The Wolverine. While he wouldn’t confirm or deny, Mangold did say, “I read that rumor. I thought it was a good idea.” Seems like he put that idea to use. READ FULL STORY »

'The Wolverine': New image from 'X-Men' spinoff shows Hugh Jackman in action

It’s been hard to come by actual information about the X-Men spinoff/rebootquel The Wolverine, unless you’re the kind of film geek who thinks it’s exciting that director James Mangold apparently thinks the movie has some kind of thematic connection to Black Narcissus. But we’re about to learn more about the next Hugh Jackman solo adventure. Mangold tweeted that he will share a sneak peak of the Wolverine teaser trailer on March 26th, followed by a full teaser online on the 27th. READ FULL STORY »

wolverine-hugh-jackman

Director James Mangold took to Twitter over the weekend to play a little game with his followers. “I’m posting images from films that inspired/influenced THE WOLVERINE,” he tweeted. “Name the movies. Even better, go see them.” The director then posted ten images from an intriguing assortment of films. Go check out his Twitter feed and see how many you can name. (8-10, you’re a film stud; 5-7, you should probably consider restarting your Netflix DVD subscription; less than 5, you should stop watching so much TV.) READ FULL STORY »
