UPDATED!! This is how Fox wanted to debut this new trailer for WOLVERINE: ORIGINS???

Published at:  Mar 05, 2009 1:30:19 PM CST

Merrick here...

There's now a more better version over at MTV. Here's an embed:


Or, for HD...



GO THERE!!!














Hey folks, Harry here... Ya know... I can't believe this. I get that Fox is trying to go with the broadest appeal possible by putting the trailer up on USA TODAY. I get it. That it is embedded on that page at POSTAGE STAMP size - well it harkens back to the birth days of trailers on the internet. Remember when the only way to see trailers was the size of postage stamps - that took nearly an hour to download... were impossible to 'step' frame by frame through??? Well, there's no download speed problems here - but my god. You'll be looking at a postage stamp. THEN... well, you can click a button to go fullscreen, but at a really really bad resolution. Which reminds me of those first downloadable trailers that when you resized big, it was a rorschach of blurry motion. Only slightly better.

But frankly... who does this? Seriously? Is there no quality control? When they put the trailer in front of all those USA TODAY site readers... did they really want them to not look very closely at the trailer? I suppose it's only a matter of time till they put a really great HD version out there, but ya know... first impressions are everything.

That said... How is the trailer? Looks cool. Of more interest is Jackman stepping up and putting this film on his shoulders of responsibility. Basically declaring that he's producing this to make Wolverine the BADASS we've always wanted him to be. This film has a troubled production, but I've also heard that they've really been working hard to make this the best film they could. That said... I haven't seen anything or heard anything from a trusted source that has made me less nervous about this film.

But let's hope for the best, right?

Click here for the postage stamp or large Monet!

    by geemenblue

    Resolution bad, but trailer good. I like the line from the gov guy - "we just spent half a billon dollars making him indestructible." Way better than "We...can't...stop him", which would be Michael Bay Wolverine, with each word smash cut against helicopter explosions.

    Who needs HD when you can have it this small? I dug out my old 56k modem and downloaded it, just to get the whole retro vibe complete. Good quotes from Jackman regarding Wolvie going 'soft' recently (I hated him in X3), I think this will be good at least. Very good cast (Shreiber, Huston, Jackman). We'll see.

    I don't mind, he was criminally fucked over in the X films, but It's just weird to have him in a Wolverine prequel. And there's no chance that they'll capture that under the normal, pretty boy looks, his a lot more messed up than Logan.

    by ogre

    You know what? The studio gave the clip to USA today, and USA today shrank it to the size of a postage stamp. That's the default size for video on their site.
    By the way. They did the exact same thing with Watchmen, but I don't recall you lambasting Warner Bros for that.
    I think I'll take a page from your book and blame Tom Rothman for bad weather and hangnails.

    Doesn't look bad

    by jsm1978

    Though it does raise more questions about "Deadpool", given that you see Ryan Reynolds a number of times, and you see that bald guy that has been labled as "Deadpool" in those toy shots a few times... and then he shoots lasers out of his eyes.
    Was that toy image a mistake? Is Deadpool even further from the comic character than we even thought? With the lines drawn on that character, it's obvious he was experimented on. The single claw, the eyebeams... makes it seem like whoever it is has powers that are an amalgam of other characters. Meaning it's a "Peter" or "Sylar" type character perhaps? Stealing from Heroes to butcher Marvel movies = bad idea if that's the case.

    WOLVERINE is better than WATCHMEN

    by vwantsrevenge

    At least the version I saw, which was while they were shooting the extra footage, and I can't imagine the new stuff fucking it up so much that the version I saw would be bad.

    Sure, changes are made to the sacred text of the comic origin, but I'm grading the movie alone, and the forces behind that. In that sense, the movie rocks and is solid.

    And it's nowhere near ELEKTRA-esque or whatever. Nowhere near DAREDEVIL or PUNISHER or any of that shit. I was entertained as hell and I was sitting in front of a 52" LCD monitor in an office.

    Bald guy has to be weapon XI, not deadpool

    by lex romero

    I know the toy of the bald guy with tatoos has been labelled Deadpool, but seeing him in the trailer towards the end he's using Cyclop's power. So I'm guessing/hoping he's weapon XI and they find a way to give him the other mutants powers.



    still no idea about this film. It's got lots of cool mutants in it (nearly more than there were x men in the third x men film which is silly) but the plot seems a bit scatter shot and some fo the shots seem rough.

  • Has each month passes by , i see that Jackman is not mean or nasty enough to be wolverine. Its an advert for homoerotic aftershave.

    "Wolverine pour homme" Aftershave for sexually confused men" You know you want it.

    I agree with the Electra compariosns here. Just the site of wolverine flying towrds a helecopter shows that they arent taking it seriously and that its just going to be a an excuse to sell lotsa of popcorn , video games and toys. Jackman is focusing on the Lucas route of product licensing. not character integrity.

    Put it this way could the Wolverine portrayed in Mark Millars mini series "Enemy of the State" be played by Jackman?! No. I didnt think so either.

    I know it's a wolverine film but did they seriously have to sodomise deadpools character so severely? I mean, f*cling claws were bad enough, but no scars, no mouth! (he's called the merc with a mouth for f*cks sake!) and then to top it off - fricking laser beams from his eyes!!
    What a massive amount of bullsh*t this is.
    Not to knock the rest of the film or anything, looks cool enough, just heavily disappointed with deadpool.

    these unrecognizable characters really kill the mood. I know that's not a good reason to not be excited, but with the other big superhero movies, I knew who all the characters were going in, which made it more enjoyable. Except for the black Spider-Man monster, which made me feel right about disliking, on principle, any post-childhood comic characters.

    . . if this movie bombs (which I think it will) there will be no Magneto movie. Which would be Fantastic! Then hopefully, Fox will finally put all things X-Men to rest and Marvel can acquire the rights back, so they can make a real X-Men movie. I pray it happens with FF and DD as well.

    It's Going To Suck Ass, But It Won't Bomb

    by laserpants

    I'm sure it will do well. Every 13 year old rageholic already has their ticket in their fat, grubby hands. Then you have the female demographic -- they don't know jack shit about comics, but they know they want to be barebacked by Hugh Jackman (even though he's gay). Finally, you have the gay male demographic who want the exact same thing as the hetero female demographic; they'll pay to watch a nearly naked Jackman penetrate other nearly naked men with his erect metal claws.
    For these reasons, coupled with the fact that mass audiences are INCREDIBLY stupid, I reckon this flim (yes, flim) will make a mint. For a week or two until the next Big Deal Movie comes out.

    You people need to learn the interwebs better and listen to the guy who keeps saying that the person who everyone thinks is deadpool is NOT DEADPOOL. Let me explain: First of all the link plays fine in fullscreen with no blurriness so I don't understand what the shit is up with people watching a "postage stamp" trailer. Second, it is not hard to "pause" at certain points in the trailer. Namely the point in which you get a good look at the guy with laser eyes on the room. This dude (sorry I don't read comics, so he could be the Mimic guy) has wolverine claws, messed up tatoos and yes he has laser eyes, but considering the lead up with the shots of Cyclops, it is not hard to deduce that he is taking other people's abilities. So shut you god awful whining about deadpool, accept that he is Ryan Renolds only, and move on with your lives. Yeesh.

    Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic

    by mr writer

    Maybe it'd be different if I hadn't been a Wolverine fan since I was 10 years old, but that trailer made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Yeah, there is a lot I'm still extremely worried about (why so many different mutants in Logan's origin) and turning Deadpool into Weapon XI is a waste of a great character, but I can live with it if the films rocks. It looks kind of epic with all the war scenes and we know it's going to cover something like 150 years, plus it looks like wall to wall action, with (hopefully) some brutal fight scenes, so unless there are serious, serious, problems with the script or the acting, it's looking like we'll get an entertaining and overall good movie at the least. I'm hoping it will actually be a lot better than that and have a bit of depth and style as well as the action and drama. Fingers crossed.

    I don't deny the movie looks good, I just don't see the point of including a character who is a fan favourite and unknown to anyone outside comics, if they are just going to change everything - that doesn't please either market, fans nor regular cinema goers who don't know or care who he is

    by emperor_was_a_jerk

    All the "geek" movie sites like this one are no longer relevant to the studios who make movies like Wolverine or Watchmen. Watchmen as a graphic novel owes everything to geeks and nerds, but after the success of movies like Spider-Man, Iron Man and Batman (DK), movie companies realize that geeks are not the audience that REALLY give them money. It is the kids who go to the mall and people who read USA Today. AICN hasn't had a scoop, a REAL scoop or "first look" in years. Entertainment weekly and now USA Today are the now the places to go for this sort of thing.

    Why Cyclops is in the movie:

    by ninjarap

    He's part of the wacky new origin they've concocted for Deadpool. Deadpool is an attempt to mix a whole bunch of mutant powers into one dude - they kidnap and experiment on Cyke to take his eyelasers, then give him arm-blades stolent from Wolverine. (The last shot of someone shooting out of their eyes in the trailer is actually Deadpool - not Cyke). Needless to say, Deadpool loses all of these wacky abilities by the film's end, and winds up horribly scarred all over when his copied healing factor can't quite repair the damage done to his system. Weird stuff.

    . . . it's time for some Elseworlds movies. I mean, come on, anybody who doesn't already know these characters' mythologies have been living under a rock. Filmmakers can afford to take a chance and start adapting some Elseworlds-style stories to the big screen. I read somewhere that Superman: Red Son is in the pipeline for a straight-to-DVD animated feature. That's a good start. If I was King of the World, I'd commission four directors to make four short live-action Superman Elseworlds films and market them together as one flick. My favourites are Red Son and Superman: Legacy, where Kal-El's great-grandfather is the one to crash on Earth during the American Revolution...and he sides with the British. Those two stories alone would make a great double-feature.

    My friend of 4 years is a make-up artist on the film. Here is what I know. He degenerates at some point in the final fight. His body begins rejecting the "implants" and he does wind up looking like the traditional Deadpool. The fact that his mouth is fused shut is a gag. When he first arrives as Weapon XI, he is more or less lobotomized. As he degenerates he snaps out of it, kinda, but is left mentally and physically scarred. So don't worry, hate Fox or not, they've got a few tricks up their sleeves.

    I'll be 35 the night this opens and I'm excited to finish off my birthday watching this movie. There are shit comic films(B&R, FF2, Electra), but this looks like an awesome comic film. I don't know what the fuck any of you are bitching about. From the trailers this looks great. Gossip about a struggling production means jack shit. I'm a game producer and every entertainment production is a struggle. The important thing is what the final result is. You haven't seen it... the trailers don't reveal anything to worry about... gossips from the production are pieces of shit. Whatever. I am going to have a great time watching this film. And nothing some dick at Fox says is going to spoil it for me. And absolutely nothing some dickless poster at AICN is going to spoil it for me or the 99% of people who watch movies.

    I would rather see Gambit out of his original timeline then to have no Gambit at all. Jackman said he owed it to fans to cast Gambit on the Sliverscreen. He did the right thing by selecting the lessor of the 2 evils. You should commend him for that. As for the cheesiness, the only thing cheesy was that rediculous helicopter scene. Other then that, everything elese appears to be pretty solid.

    Let's assume for the sake of argument that Gambit is pointlessly shoehorned into the film, that better than not seeing him at all? that's a disservice to not only the film but the character of Gambit. I would rather never see these characters on film then see them done poorly. I guess that a difference between a real fan and the rest. As for the cheesiness, come the fuck on, Deadpool shooting LASERS from his eyes, all the hilariously over the top yelling Jackman does? Liev Schrieber hamming it up as Sabertooth? It looks JUST like an X3, and if you didnt think that was cheesy then fuck off.

    it's too damn bad some of these guys couldn't be in costumes of some kind, Deadpool especially has a sweet outfit. That being said this is the most promising trailer so far, I believe Jackman is doing his best, certainly-certainly, to deliver what the true fans want, looks like there's no shortage on the action. Might need to step up and take a lump or two out of loyalty to Hugh, he obviously loves playing the character and he does make a great Wolverine. Besides, it's gotta be better than the first two x-men borefests, fuck you all the third one had the sweetest action.

I think he really gets what Logan's about and understands his responsibility to us, the hardcore fans. So I respect that.

    ...to know that stench is all over the film. I'm sorry it upsets so many of you that some of us are simply more perceptive when it comes to recognizing a bad film before we plop down $10 to go see it. It's not about "hating". It's based off the evidence given us. I'll admit, the historical battles look good. They really do. But the film is wildly inconsistent - decent camerawork, excellent lighting, great costuming in the historical period. Horrid, stagey lighting, poor framing, and incredibly cheesy action elsewhere. Given the problems in production, I suppose that shouldn't be a surprise - too many cooks spoil the broth. The gimmicks of the slo-mo "badass walk", ridiculously huge explosions, flying through the air and Wolverine dragging his claws across everything should be warning signs, folks. As BYOD pointing out about, based on Wolvie dragging claws through a Hummer at high speed, this movie appears to completely ignore the laws of physics (on top of everything else) without so much as a nod toward reality in the name of being cool. That's called Charlie's Angels, folks. And they were trying to be silly. This movie, I assume, is not.

    by immortal_fish

    What, on film or source material? I presume you mean the film, since Singer turned Rogue into a screaming little girl. He introduced at least 15 years between Jean and Scott, and another 15 years between Scott and Bobby. Ororo and Peter had optional accents between movies. Christian orthodox Kurt was portrayed as a self-mutilating pagan that couldn't recognize his own mother. On and on, yet for some reason, folks have a problem only with Ratner's Juggernaut holding his helmet under arm. At that point, what does it matter?

    Given how each and every other character in this series has been "adapted" in this series of films, it's not much of a stretch at all.I used to say that Singer got 1.5 characters right (Prof X and the frail, old man called Magneto), but I've since reconsidered. Prof X went down like a weak little bitch in each film, completely taken out of the third act in both. And X2 is a horrible film given that it mimics each and every beat of X1, only this time... the bad guys saddle up with the good guys! ::yawn::

    No offense dude but you are the monarch of assumption. The only truth any trailer tells can only be judged after you've actually seen the movie, and therefore every unlikely scene, in their context. Take any movie you'd care to name and I could pull a clip and make it look bad, OR good, depends on what point I'm trying to make. Take the huge wedding set piece from Godfather out of the richness of the entire film and watch people nod off to sleep, does that make the Godfather shit? You think you're so goddamned perceptive because you've figured out that super powers are IMPLAUSABLE? Wow, what's next, you gonna bring us all to our knees by pointing out that you can't really bring a light sabre into your hand using "the force"? Wait and see is the only truly intellectually-sound approach to any film, see it, then bitch, or shoot your load, whatever it does for you, but pointing out that a guy with adamantium claws raking a jeep is silly is pretty goddamned stupid in my book.

Had the character been faithfully adapted (as is often mischaracterized) the role would have been played by Harvey Keitel.And yet, for some reason, it is the D-Day scene alone that you take issue with? What about Deadpool's ready-for-soap-opera face when it should look like an exploded peperoni pizza? Why haven't you taken issue with that?

    RE: Jerry Springer as Sabretooth.
    GENIUS!! Those flowing locks, that gravelly voice-Perfect. Jeremy Kyle(had to google him)-not so much. He looks like he's got the height requirement, tho.

    "Seldom does source material make it to the screen intact"MAN do I hear that. I can understand some alterations, but it's the gross departures that drive me over the edge.Thanks for clearing up that you meant departures within the film series itself as opposed to (readily apparent) departures from the source material.

    Wolverine still looks like a "small" movie

    by teddy artery

    What do I mean? I mean despite the presence of a few big effects and some name actors, the whole scope and feel of the film looks like it was done on the cheap... like corners were cut or scenes were scaled down. I suppose this is the way of the world these days.

    So, you wan to change your name now or what? Seeing as how you fucking stole it from me? And don't say you didn't because I've been using it on here for at least 5 years.

    Speaking of names, anyone else notice that the 99% of people praising this movie are people who have never posted in TBs before? Seems suspicious if you ask me...

    by the_shogun_gunslinger

    this movie looks like utter balls. Its like the studio heard about everything we've all hated and then condensed it all into one last big final "FUCK YOU".
    Continuity? Here's FUCKING CYCLOPS!

    Deadpool not true to the source material? GIVE HIM LAZER-EYES, CLAWS AND SEW HIS MOUTH SHUT!

    Sabertooth isn't faithful either? GIVE HIM TOADS AGILITY TOO (that's him chasing Cyclops in the school)

    Wolverine is too "clean"? GIVE HIM THE SILKIEST HAIR EVER TO BE SEEN ON A CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELD!

    They hated that helicopter stunt? END THE TRAILER WITH IT!

    Brain-dead dialogue?... "oooh...Shiny"

    I rest my fucking case. FUCK YOU FOX!!!!

    This movie should be smaller

    by spifftacular squirrel girl

    With the giant cast of mutants and explosions why not just call it X-Men 4 and be done with it?

    Even Hugh Jackman seems like he would have been interested in doing the Wolvie in Japan storyline where I'm sure there isn't any Wolverine vs Helicopter scenes.

    P.S. Didn't this trailer also really downplay the whole Wolverine/Sabertooth dynamic that ever other trailer was trying to get across? Kind of weird.

    Please. This isn't about superpowers being implausible. I don't think Superman Returns was a poor movie because it features a human-like alien in tights who can fly without any visible propulsion. No, in that case it was simply a lackluster story. Nobody's indicting Star Wars for its mythology either. The various uses of the force are all established ground rules which work in that universe, just like Neo can stop bullets in his universe. In any story about magic or superpowers or science fiction, once you set your ground rules, you have to make the characters and the world they live in relatable if you want your audience the least bit invested in them. My point, which should have been obvious, is that the treatment of the scene is patently silly, and it's silly because it's done very poorly. It's all about the execution - and these are obviously the money shots, not simply poorly picked shot (like you are suggesting based on your Godfather analogy)! Look how often they're repeated in various trailers. My point is that the execution is shoddy. The effects are sloppy, and the ground rules are broken. The best thing about Wolverine has always been the fact that after all is said and done about his indestructible skeleton, claws, healing powers and acute senses, he's just a man who is willing to take a hell of a beating to accomplish what he wants. I respect your "wait and see" position, (although calling it the only intellectually tenable position is pretty naive in my estimation). But, when May 1st comes around I will say I told you so.

    If that really is Deadpool they have ruined the character, what was Fox thinking, They made the Merc with a mouth(thats why he is so beloved) into the merc with no mouth! damn idiots, hopefully at the end of the movie he loses all the extra powers.

    When will this horror end. FOX keeps getting away with these low budget recycled set Marvel movies. Theres nothing captivating about a movie based on characters that stab and kill people with a PG-13 restriction. Please expalin how a studio can say "badass" for that. Even the lowest of martial arts films make a rated R rating. But a guy thats known for killing and fighting with blades coming out of his hands for crying out loud is PG-13. At this point who cares about continuity. Everyone praises X-2 but what was really done right about it. Every character was wrong. It was the softess most emotional story Ive seen since watching a soap opera with my ex-girlfriend on Lifetime network. The action in these movies are terrible. This all you can come up with from a Character thats supposed to have 100 plus years of combat experience? So far the only people Wolverine managed to beat up were Stykers minion "human" soldiers. Ridiculous. He has no fighting style, no berserker rage, no emotion to even wanna win a fight. Anyone can be Movie Wolverine if they fight like he does. How hard is it to prove that you can take a beating. I mean what the fuck are the Choreographers thinking. Did anyone look at a fight scene involving Wolverine from any comic? Oh and to make the story simple, lets just say every mutant on the fucking planet is from Strykers base. Call me a nerd but is it so wrong to not accept when something you care about is translated to hammered CW network shit. I mean c'mon, is saying this movie is gonna be better than X3 really mean anything. This isnt a Wolverine movie. Nothing is solo about this. All the goofy promo shots with the Sexiest mercenary team ever isnt inspiring me to go watch this bullshit. Good Luck Hugh but this is in no way Wolverine movie. I know he worked hard but the fact is this movie is still under FOX's control. I'll wait till marvel gets the rights back. Maybe by then People will forget that the Character of Wolverine was never meant to be a Sex Symbol and on the cover of GQ magazine. Maybe we will get a few shampoo commercials to tie in with the release of the movie. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck this movie.
    10 years of X-shit movies is enough pain. How is it the Matrix still has better graphics then this! How!

    All the tagged imagines of the bald mouthless dude read as "Scott Adkins as Weapon XI and Hugh Jackman as Logan in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" "

    Doesn't agent X become Weapon XI ??

    and I gota agree, as a huge comic nerd Fox can't help themselves when fvcking up a movie, Gambit and Cyclops have no place but just typical "studio exec's" yelling for it cus it's what their kids know
