Wolverine 2 Greenlit

[captcalhoun]

i forsee cameos from Sunfire, Silver Samurai and possibly Kwannon.

^^^^^^
I have to wonder, where did all that money go?

Too all the names and studios in the ending credits.

You don't think the entire budget goes to just the actors, director & CGI budget, do you?

I'm also seeing a cameo by Psylocke in the sequel.

 

[Mr Light]

But Psylocke is British

But Psylocke is British

I know that & you know that, the mass public doesn't. So you know as well as I do if she's even in a film they will never cover that aspect about her.

Besides, you can be Asian and a British citizen.

One suspects that Silver Samurai will be the main villain.

Hell, why not get Miller and Claremont to write the screenplay?

Because they both suck now? I mean really, really, "haven't written anything good in ten years" suck? They've both degenerated into caricatures of themselves, rerunning old successes, and neither can write dialogue to save their lives (Claremont, for his part, never really could).

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Origins: Silver Samurai

 

[TheArsenal]

Good. I like movie Wolverine (Moolverine?) enough to see him in a better flick.

 

[Heeroyuy]

Wasn't Psychlocke in X3?

 

[Thrall]

So in other words, X-Men 5 has been greenlit.

 

[bigdaddy]

I wonder the same thing for the last King Kong. The CGI in parts were terrible!

 

[Gaith]

Cool! I'm always a believer in the redemptive potential of sequels. Pirates 2, Dark Knight, Spider-Man 2... there are lots of good sequels to movies I'll never see again (or, in Wolverine's case, necessarily at all), and I'm always up for seeing more Jackman-Wolverine.

I'm just glad that...

Spoiler: XMO:W

They got the amnesia out of the way in this latest movie, so the next one can be a de facto reboot/requel a la Incredible Hulk.

 

[Trent Roman]

Wasn't Psychlocke in X3?

Depends. Some chick with powers nothing like Psylocke got that name in the credits, but I don't think she was ever called that onscreen; for such a minor appearance, I'm sure they can simply overlook it the way they did Hank McCoy's non-beastly cameo in X2.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

WOW like this was a suprise?

I know that one of the writers was mystified by how some of those minor characters got assigned names from other characters somewhere in the process after he left.

I'm glad there's a sequel, but frightful that because of Wolverine's success, they don't realize how bad it is.

Hopefully they count their blessings, and move on to make something better. Miller and Claremont's Japanese story is amazing, I hope they get good screenwriters and a good director who knows the story and the character and don't fuck it up. Hell, why not get Miller and Claremont to write the screenplay?

They had a good writer with the first one. David Benioff delivered a fantastic draft that was diluted by Skip Woods. I think if they re-hired Benioff and let him write the story he wants to write -- and not let another else re-write his work -- then we'll be good. I had faith in Gavin Hood but now not so much. I wouldn't mind if he got replaced.

 

[CommodoreKong]

What if the budget is even lower, and the CG even awfuler?

I haven't even seen the movie, but in one of the trailers it shows Wolverine's claws coming out, and the effect looks like a pre-2000 CGI effect. I wondered how anyone involved in the production could of approved of that effect.

Even my friend who isn't a contemporary movie aficionado and loathes special effects commented on how fake it looked.

I know of Benioff's competence. Can his original draft be found on the net anywhere?

Probably, but you'd have to do some digging. I might have it sitting around in my email inbox. I'll try and locate it for you.

Effects were the least crappiest thing about the movie though.
