I'm anticipating a lot of love for this new poster too:

I love that poster. Everything about this film is hitting the right notes, I can't wait for the first teaser trailer.

JD · December 14 2012, 02:34 AM

Do we know yet when it is coming?

Admiral_Young · December 14 2012, 12:16 PM

The first teaser trailer? No not yet. I have predicted in the thread probably sometime next month.

Not exactly new information, but this is part of a Jackman interview from "Parade" in my local paper:

Speaking of The Wolverine, you look ripped in those first pictures we've seen. I gather that's not painted on?

I wish! I keep thinking, "Come on, you spend millions on CGI, can't you throw a quarter million my way for visual effects so I can eat pizza and drink beer and still look great?" No, I had to do it the hard way. Let me tell you, at 44 it's not getting easier.

Give us a little scoop on the film.

You want to get me into trouble, don't you? [laughs] Okay, the movie takes place after X-Men: The Last Stand. My character is at his lowest. He is supposed to be able to heal himself, but he may encounter someone who has worked out a way to really hurt him. And there is a cameo from one of the past X-Men in it.

Another discussion about how the atmosphere and direction for the film developed. While the classic Claremont/Miller story is the strong influence Mangold also looked for other inspirations.
I like this part.

“One of the models I used working on the film was The Outlaw Josey Wales,” Mangold says. “You find Logan and his love is gone, his mentors are gone, many of his friends are gone, his own sense of purpose – what am I doing, why do I bother – and his exhaustion is high. He has lived a long time, and he’s tired. He’s tired of the pain. [...] What I wrote on the back of the script when I first read it was ‘Everyone I love will die.’ The story I’ve been telling, he enters it believing that. Therefore he’s living in a kind of isolation. He gets drawn to Japan by an old friendship and then finds himself in a labyrinth of deceit, caught up in the agendas of mobsters, of wealth, and other powers we come to understand.”

My expectations for this film keep rising.

Yeah "The Outlaw of Josey Wells" has been cited as one of the inspirations for the film's tone and structure even when Aronofsky was still attached to the project, and one of the statements that really got me excited.

I can't wait for the first trailer.

Love that quote. I really like that it's going for the 'curse of the immortals' angle.

Starbreaker · January 9 2013, 09:48 PM

I'm liking that this is going to be after The Last Stand. I wasn't expecting that.

Set Harth · January 10 2013, 12:00 AM

The Claremont/Miller series took place after Wolverine had already been an X-Man and after Jean had died, so after The Last Stand is the only place it would really fit.

Has anyone said anything about when we can expect the trailer?

Admiral_Young · January 10 2013, 03:18 PM

Probably very soon. There were some reports that we might get it attached with "The Hobbit" but obviously that didn't happen. I have said I think probably either later this month or sometime next month for the first teaser. I'm guessing perhaps even The SuperBowl.

JD · January 11 2013, 01:02 AM

I hope so. I'm dying to see some footage.
