Can the WOLVERINE sequel possibly make up for the turd that came out this summer? McQuarrie gives us hope...
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. One of the strangest, but best pieces of news to hit this week is that Fox has hired Christopher McQuarrie to pen the next WOLVERINE film, which follows the Frank Miller mini-series following Logan in Japan. Bet last month you wouldn't have believed you'd be anticipating the next Wolverine flick, right? McQuarrie gives me hope. If you're not familiar with the name shame on you, but it's never too late to learn. McQuarrie wrote THE USUAL SUSPECTS, did some uncredited work on Singer's first X-MEN film (he told me once in an interview for his awesome directorial debut WAY OF THE GUN that the only bit of his that remained in X-MEN was the introduction of young Magneto in the concentration camp, one of my favorite parts of the movie) and more recently he wrote VALKYRIE. McQuarrie can balance character and action, which by itself would make a WOLVERINE sequel tower above the original film, which was just a jumbled mess of multiple characters and random action. McQuarrie onboard doesn't mean Fox will take the surely well-executed and thought out script and use it well, but it's a step in the right direction. If he could shake loose the execs I'd love to see McQuarrie himself take the reins and direct the flick. Click here to read Borys Kit's break over at Hollywood Reporter!

They don't care about reviews, just box office, and it was, as they say, buffo. If people go and watch shit they'll get more shit.

After rewatching the first three X-Men films, Wolverine doesn't
by Sloopjohnb
Sure, this movie isn't perfect, but there it is certainly better than most comic book films we've been seeing; the first half hour is especially interesting and atypical of comic book films. I recently rewatched the first three X Men and I just don't see how any of them could be considered great films. I understand the third one wasn't well received (deservedly so), but the first two aren't nearly as good as people make them out to be.
-
Because honestly, it's not like FOX could actually do worse than Wolverine Origins. They hit rock bottom (from what I've heard), so they can only move up. With McQuarrie on board, and hopefully Bryan Singer, maybe the X-Men series can extract itself from the black hole of mediocrity that it fell into ever since Ratner came on board.

Way of the Gun was going to start with a Fake Movie Trailer
by Stereotypical Evil Archer
And the fake movie trailer was the prequel/origin story before the Way of the Gun. I think this is mentioned in the commentary track. I may be remembering it slightly differently.<p>Grindhouse owes a huge debt to McQuarrie for this reason.<p>The beginning of McQuarrie's Wolverine should be a fake trailer as well! I'm sure he would write something killer that everyone wished was its own movie.
-
Does this mean that Singer could return to direct? Fuck Gavin Hood and the horse he rode in on.
-
executed on film for realsies and include it in the final cut, I'm not fucking interested.
-
Never have I seen a movie with a Hollywood bubdget be treated like a movie of the week. With Chris back on, it gives me hope that the second movie will better than the first
-
just let McQuarrie direct it.
-
Hell I thought it was pretty cool. Can't wait for the DVD, which, let's cut the shit, we'll all buy anyways.
-
Wolverine origins was godawful hideous! Why would anyone want to see a sequel unless they wanted to make poopy. This is what one wants to do after watching this movie.
-
The movie, that is.

I went back in time the other day, to my 12 yr. old self......
by The Dum Guy
I told him many grave things that would happen in our (as yet) brief life, and when I said "And, there will be a Wolverine movie."<br><br>My former self said, "So, something good happens to us?"<br><br>I replied, "Nay, or no, it will suck."<br><br>Since I had (as my kid self) a good punch straight to nuts I took, and said, "You're a goddamn liar and hope Batman Forever kicks ass!"
-
Hands off BSG, motherfrakker.
-
Was utter, pure shite.
-
Let's be honest- the first X men movie was retarded. You know it and I know it. But the best thing in that movie was the holocaust scene at the beginning. As for Wolverine, I thought it was MUCH better than people gave it credit for. As a "first" movie, it has X men beat by a country mile.
-
If not, they should hire him to direct this.
-
More than tranny, I know you like to hate on the trannies, but Wolvie was worse... With those old folks and those fake cgi claws, the incredibly stupid story, the ruining of some of our favorite mutants, specially how they ruined deadpool.
-
It said, that people who like X-Men Origins: Wolverine can actually pick their mouths for boogers. Weird.

Having Hollywood writers team up with anime directors is the onl
by CodeName
I'm not a big fan of live-action Japanese films, save a rare few.. but I think Hollywood writers, and even directors should start teaming up with visionary anime directors for superhero films. Let Sam Raimi direct all the dialogue scenes and such, but when Spidy starts fighting, hand everything over to Hayato Date; the action choreographer of the Naruto series. Dude. Imagine that. Come on, let's get a bipartisan effort going here between America and Japan.
-
But, lemmie guess, you stepped in line with the rest of AICN and hated Wolverine and Loooooovvvvedd GI Joe. ACH-CHUNG!
-
How about a long Oldboy shot of a beat-up but healing-on-the-fly Wolverine going through piles and piles of ninjas in one long continous shot that lasts ten minutes in a bamboo forest in Kyoto? I'd like to see this in the next Wolverine film. But nope... we won't get it because the suits won't understand.
-
..the franchise is now irrevocably damaged and Hugh Jackman owns a lot of the blame. What a horrid last couple of films.
-
As long as Tom Rothman is sitting upon his porcelain throne as chairman of FOX Studios I have no faith that we'll see a "Wolverine" movie that isn't silly,watered-down family-friendly tripe.
-
it's over, already. DO SOMETHING NEW!
-
LOL that's almost true in a sense haha
-
Japan. Mariko Yashida. Shingen. The Hand. Yukio. Silver Samurai. Viper.<p>But this is Fox. Even if they followed Miller's story panel by panel, they'd still ruin it...
-
A.) Who's directing. Someone with a strong visual style, and who could also balance action and character. And, someone who can stand up to the studio and argue for their vision. WHich leads to... B.) How much Tom Rothman will have his meddling fingers in. If he micromanages like he's done on the last two films, then no one will be able to save it. If he can be distracted, or otherwise, then all could just be very good. I'd love to think that FOX has paid attention to the criticisms on the first movie. Then again, I have been accused of being an optimist.
-
to John McTiernan?
-
Is incredible. Awesome movie!
-
he's a fucking boring one note character. he gets angry, claws come out, and he charges. RRAAWWR!! all it would take is one pissed off magneto or a juggernaut type to fucking launch him into the sun. heal that, bitch!
-
This will turn out to be Ninja Assassins without the gore, with Hugh Jackman as the main, and a PG-13 stamp. So yeah, it will not come close too the Miller story.
-
Still, that seemed more like the studio had their hands up his ass wiggling him around like a cheap puppet instead of a picture he had much directorial control over. <p>I sort of liked the preposterous Basic.
-
Yeah, even worse than Transformers 2 and Salvation. It's been that kind of year.
-
Was Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. It was written in a style that kind of became a Frank Miller signature later on, though.
-
Or at least SOME semblance of his costume!!!! GEEEZ LOUISE!!!!
-
Yes the three minute dialogueless opening of X-Men was great. Valkyrie was merely ok. The Usual Suspects however, was very well written so I guess I hve some hope, but not much.
-
The "fanbase" for the character "Wolverine" and "admirers" of the actor "Hugh Jackman" are over reacting. It is fun, no? Boom, boom!
-
whatever, the first Wolverine was so fucking bad, I couldn't even tell it was supposed to be in the past. Fox should just give up, they can make a good movie to save their life. Give wolverine to a company with the balls to give it the treatment it deserves. Comic book fans have grown up, so grow the movie up. Its not like kids dont like adult-level movies. Every teen and kid was scared of Jason. Make them fans of the bad-assness of wolverine, just like how they love kill bill. The way it stands they sell their shit to 10 year olds. <p>
-
Come on, 5 films along he should be in there by now.

Guy throws huge green bamboo spear thru Wolvies chest
by GibsonUSA Returns
And Wolvies still movie towards him. That's be awesome.

Avatar is coming from Fox. They can't all be bad.
-
But Wolverine Origins was borderline unwatchable. Have we heard anything about a budget? It was SyFy Channel special effects.
-
to make genre movies sans balls and brains. Hopefully.
-
I'll never pay FOX for another X-MEN movie ever again.
-
When a script review was posted about the Wolvie movie about 2 years ago...I posted a comment that was something like...<P> I want to Wolverine in Japan...fighting the Hand, fighing 100 ninjas, swinging the honor sword, the death of Mariko, the Silver Samurai and learning how to become the greatest killer in the world. <P> That would be a movie I want to see, as long as it is at least a hard PG...if not an R.

I am so glad Harrison Ford's THE FUGITIVE was released in '93
by GibsonUSA Returns
If it was released recently, it would probably suck, because in my opinion... <BR><BR> 1. The movie would start with quick-cut MTV style fonts and music. <BR><BR> 2. The bus crash would be in total CG.<BR><BR> 3. The foot chase would be in shakey-cam.<BR><BR> 4. There would be two additional car chases/crashes.<BR><BR> 5. Fancy CG transition screens.<BR><BR> 6. The finale would reveal that the wife is actually alive and teamed with the bad guy.<BR><BR> 7. MTV rock music over the credits. <BR><BR> Thank goodness it came out in 1993!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was so bad it turned me off of the summer blockbusters for the rest of the season. I'll go into the next one (if I go into it at all) with high hopes and little expectations. It would be hard to tie into the current X-Men franchise, but one day it would be awesome to see some of the solo Wolverine stuff from the early comics of his own series, more dirty and a bit noir.

Jackman needs to use his power to put Fox in their place
by JuanSanchez
-
Oh wait, I forgot Gi joe was THE summer movie according to this fine establishment.
-
It was "Shut that cunt's mouth before I come over there and fuckstart her head!". You'll have to supply your own odd Ryan Philippe accent. Also, GI Joe was better than Wolverine. But it was still dogshit.
-
Just some horrible shit movie that doesn't exist. Like that one "Bond" movie Connery made that was not a Bond movie just a remake of Thunderball. I forgot what it was called but that's good. This new one if done correctly in my mind will be the ONLY Wolverine movie ever made. Just like how I believe there are only two X-men movies that leave us hanging and to use are imagination to think up how it all ends. X3? Never heard of it. I remember once hearing someone talking about the Golden Gate bridge and how pointless it was but that's all I remember.
-
Why so mean? How many fockin' movies have you made, ya useless little nerd?!?

Miller's Wolverine is from the 80's when ninjaz were cool
by ZombieHeathLedger
now? Not so much. However, we will get a kicka ass SILVER SAMURAI, bitches! (Though they will re-design him and fuck him all up I'm sure.)
-
even if it was good, everyone here would say it sucked.
-
The opening scene is a classic. The next 115 minutes are a meandering, aimless clusterfuck.
-
I saw GI Joe in LA... at the Cineramadome no less... and it was fucking retarded. Channing Tatum is a worthless leading man, so lifeless and bored. The writing was atrocious (the Scarlett and Marlon Wayans scene where she talks about her father had us laughing out loud) and there wasn't an original beat in the movie.<BR><BR> So, no I don't "fall in line" with the rest of the AICN crew, but there has been no meeting where we pick a united side on any movie. We tend to like similar films because most of us are friends, but there never has been any mandate to like or dislike a certain movie.<BR><BR>As crappy as Joe is it isn't boring and you can see the money on the screen, neither of which can be claimed by X-Men Origins: Wolverine. So, yeah. GI Joe is better than Wolverine in my book. No question. That doesn't mean I love GI Joe, just that Wolverine sucked harder.
-
Like when Wolvie and his wife were in the cabin having a tender moment...and the wife told that wolverine story no one paid attention to...did you notice how perfect their teeth was?<BR> When the wife was telling that story no one paid attention to...look at her teeth...did they CG enhance that. Whew...she could sell Crest whitening strips. (especially for living in a cabin in the middle of nowhere)
-
...and look at how the first Wolverine turned out. In theory hiring Christopher McQuarrie is a good decision, but Fox has a long road ahead of them before I even start to consider giving them the benefit of the doubt.
-
He's too young looking to be Duke.<BR> Someone like...I dunno...Mel Gibson should have been Duke....Tatum should have been little brother Falcon flirting with the girls.
-
its always going to be shit. Hugh Jackman is too polished and too "hollyweird manicured" to play him. Wolverine is a character full of unlikeable flaws. Wolverine is not a nice person. You need someone with that aggression and rage in them , someone who is pissed off with the world. The best actors that could do that are Gerald Butler, Dougray Scott, Eric Bana etc. but not Jackman. when i see Jackman i dont see Wolverine, i see an advert for men girly girl aftershave.
-
Better than GI Joe, about on par with Transformers 2. I would watch a sequel. Silver Samurai is going to need an Extreme Makeover, however, as he is one of the silliest of the Marvel characters.
-
I think it cost 150 mil to make? Cheapest looking summer blockbuster ever. And come to think of it, all three x-men films look kinda cheap, so I wonder who at FUX is pocketing all the production money?
-
that it just won't matter what they do next...IF it is even marginally better, it will make whoever makes it a huge success...but jeez...The most posturing and non bloody violent film I have ever seen. Even when there was blood it was dead wolverine blood...in a movie with a guy who has unbreakable claws for weapons...not ONE REAL bloody attack..even in WWII...ugh...
-
You'd need someone badass, ugly but with shitloads of charisma, like a Lee Marvin or Clint Eastwood. You just don't get that kind of actor anymore and hollywood is all the poorer for it.
-
He's more right for Wolverine than the 6'2" Hugh Jackman.
-
It's criminal that we've been deprived a directorial follow up to the amazing Way of The Gun. What a beautiful opportunity that was for us to see Del Toro do some of best work - an unappreciated classic. The last time we saw such a GREAT writer direct so capably was Paul Schrader. IMO McQuarrie is just as good a writer and a better director.

That was the first of those Xmen films that was actually fun.
by JackPumpkinhead
Surprisingly fun. No laughable gay director angst in this one, no emokids in latex, no moronic "I thuffer!" moments - just goofy entertainment, i.e. what it should be. It is based on a comic book, after all.
-
LOL love way of the gun
-
...I think hugh jackman was just barely adequate as Wolverine. I'd have no problem with someone else taking over, and taking the role in a whole new direction. Any suggestions?

Sarah Silverman getting decked in the face in "The Way of the Gun" was the funniest moment of her entire career

SHUT THAT CUNT MOUTH BEFORE I COME OVER THERE AND FUCK START HER
by redfist
-
Is a fantastic movie, really unique in its approach to what makes Del Toro and Phillipe "cool" which they undeniably are, and aren't.
-
How about getting someone who ACTUALLY looks like the main character?
-
That's a really interesting thought.
-
that an artist like Kathryn Bigelow would make a movie about somebody called Wolverine? Fuck's sake.
-
The Usual Suspects was okay at best so, so what? Wolverin2 2 (x-men5)will be pg13 rubbish dosn't matter whos on board, dont be an idiot Quint.
-
And how wrong I was.
-
At the time it completely felt like a Tarantino wannabe. But that was before we all realized Tarantino burned all his mojo on his early stuff. Still, Way of the Gun felt like it was trying way to hard to be cool and not achieving it.
-
1.5 million budget. Owe Boll to direct - cast ‘Marcus’ from Big Brother UK and set the origin story in Manchester! Couldn’t be much worse eh?
-
Marvel has been whoring this twerp for the longest. and what's fucked up is that there are so many characters that deserve as much spotlight as Wol, instead the overrated logan is their cash cow. <p>Fuck Marvel & FOX.

Wolvie meets a samurai master who reluctantly agrees to teach him to fight, Master says “if you don’t master your rage, your rage becomes your master!” Cue montage of master and Logan (with his hair in a bun naturally) fighting with wooden swords atop a mountain, next we see quick edits of Logan getting knocked on his ass by a much older master over and over and over again (this is to add humour to the scene. The test audience comprised of 10 year old boys, some with down syndrome laugh like slack-jawed inbreeds during the Fox test screening, the suits in the back behind the mirrored glass tick the box on there clipboards were it says ‘visual gag during training montage’ check! ) I really think this will add some originality to the movie because you never ever get to see training montages in movies, where a much older frail master beats the shit out of a presumably fitter, younger student! And get this… towards the end of the montage Logan gets better at fighting and eventually knocks the MASTER on HIS ass, and the master says “good Logan-san, you are now ready”. Good eh. Didn’t see that coming did you. Oscar worthy if I do say so myself! Can I’ve a job Fox? I also have a idea to recreate ‘down town’ Tokyo in a sound stage since the New Orleans bit in Wolverine Origins was SO realistic, even better than the real thing. Also Fox if your listening you should hire Chinese for extras because they look better than the Japanese to western audiences, and also add another level of realism to the ‘down town’ Tokyo scenes. Please Tim Rothman give me a job. Pleeeeeeeeeeeese!
-
Ok, the high standards of X2 and The Dark Knight led to a bit of an overreaction to the Wolverine film. Now I'm in no way saying it was a classic, because it wasn't, but it wasn't the unmitigated dissaster some say either. We're all hoping for far better next time, and this news shows that we may well get it. Please check my poll on which movies deserve sequels. http://tinyurl.com/r7zntr Cheers fans & fanatics.

No faith in Fox whatsoever. They'll neuter and lobotomise it.
by Mr Nicholas
-
and that's the real crime of Wolverine. Despite it's "epic" ensemble cast and near-atmospheric budget, the film looked cheap. The CGI was poor, the effects kind of boring, and all but one fight scene looked like it was choreographed by the same ass-maggot who did Hitman. No matter how big a defender you are, this was simply a catastrophic failure as a superhero film....if you can't make a movie look good on $100 million, then you aren't really trying. District 9 was filmed on just over $30 million...and it looks fan-fucking-tastic.

Nothing will EVER make up for the turd that came out this summer
by Yeti
Do you hear me Fox? NOTHING!!!!
-
unlike that shite called wolverine, fox dont do good comic book movies so why would the sequel no matter who they would get to write or direct be any diffrent????
-
I love Chris McQuarrie. LOVE him. The Way of the Gun is my favorite movie of all time. Not Shawshank, Not Citizen Kane. Parker and Longbaugh in the closest ode to Butch and Sundance YOU'LL EVER SEE EVER! I watch and own any and everything he writes because Chris is my favorite writer in Hollywood next to Haggis. So Why Am I Pissed You Ask? Because Wolverine was Fox's biggest "Fuck You" to a fanbase that I've ever seen. It was like Tom Rothman got into a time machine like Marty McFly but instead of helping my parents get together he decided to sexually assault the child version of me FOR NO FUCKING REASON! NOT ONLY did he rape Wolverine, he bukkaked Deadpool, one of my favorite characters. I've been serious about boycotting all Fox shit since, but now I'm forced to watch this film. I just hope that Rothman kicks McQuarrie off the project because of his inability to make SHIT and hires a shitty writer so I can continue to quietly give Fox a middle finger for life. I Love you Chris. And if you're on this I'll watch reluctantly but know that Rothman will destroy EVERYTHING you write thats cool. If Rothman is fired then this Wolvie pic will be 100 times better.

-
that fact doesnt give me hope for the quality of the sequel,but on the other hand the introduction of the young magneto in the concentration camp in the first xmen movie,was one my favourite parts of the movie too.

The lifeless, dull fucking version of Wolverine that they've crafted in these films leaves NOTHING to work with via the Miller/Japan storyline. There's no point to it.

killed all my interest in the character. Wish they'd given that one to McQuarrie instead.

I'm pretty sure I could crank out a decent Moon Knight movie. Fuck, at this point, what would they have to lose?

THE ONLY WAY WE WILL EVER SEE A TRULY GREAT WOLVERINE/X-MEN MOVI
by Evil Sean
...is if we boycott FOX comic book movies. Let's be honest here, it's fanboys like us who deliver the opening weekend to these franchises or take them from modest success to big hit. Tom Rothman has admitted he doesn't give a shit about making quality movies that are faithful to the mythology, his focus is "delivering audiences." If we, the audience, stop showing up for FOX pics, the film rights to these characters (not just X-Men but Fantastic 4 and others) will revert to MARVEL STUDIOS! Can you imagine X-Men and Fantastic 4 being treated as faithfully by a movie studio as Iron Man (and even occupying the same film universe)? It's possible - all you have to do is not give FOX your hard-earned money. We must start by NOT buying X-Men Origins: Wolverine when it's released on DVD/Blu-Ray. It's already available for pre-order on Amazon. Spread the word on this talkback and others on this site. JUST SAY NO TO FOX COMIC BOOK MOVIES. Just say no to the X-Men trilogy set and the FF on DVD/Blu-Ray. Despite my better judgment, I paid to see Wolverine opening weekend in the theater. I refuse to give FOX another dollar - we've got to take control of this the only way we can. Who is with me?
-
I agree, Valkyrie is crap. This guy McQuarrie is not even up to ralph mc quarrie heel. Wolverine is a crap franchise.
-
The problem is, Avatar is at Fox. So Rothman will fuck Wolverine in the arse for years and years, but who cares ? Just boycott crap movies.
-
Stay away from Gavin Hood.

If you listened to the commentary on Way Of The Gun...
by The_Genteel_Gentile
McQuarrie flat out admits that a good 85 percent of the good stuff in the movie was Bencio Del Toro's idea. McQuarrie was just smart enough to exploit that and cool enough to give him credit in his commentary, but Del Toro is really almost a co-director on the movie in my eyes. So who knows if McQuarrie is really all that fluent in the language of filmmaking or not. I don't think I'd risk giving him a huge budgeted summer tentpole picture just to find out whether or not he's up to the task (especially without Del Toro around). Good writer...without doubt. Good director...??(the question mark was emphasised).
-
yeah!
-
`if you told me that Hugh Jackman was not in it i would be pumped!!! as long as he's playing wolverine movie is going to suck.
-
as Wolvie has such a hugh..er, i meant huge following. to the point if Fox released 60 minutes of footage that entails Wolverine shaving his balls, the idiot fanboys will flock to see it.<p>i have already boycotted the first movie and will do the same with this one.<p>I sense another workprint leak in the works. <p>*evil grin*

Give him a beefed up version of the CG treatment Ian McKellen got as Magneto. Or pull the whole Darth Vader thing, put someone in a yellow/blue costume and have Dirty Harry voiceover... Anything less than a hard R will be unacceptable. Japanese snow should be so thick in ninja blood, that it could be used in an advert for Kotex.

I already forgot it. That's how great it was.

After X3 I decided that I fucking hated the X Men movies

Fuck, that would work. A real tough guy/actor would be more convincing than some showtune singing overrated actor. (yeah, Hugh was good in the first two X movies, but his performances in Swordfish and especially that borefest Austraila sucked
-
Not inspired to see something i heard was lame. A solo Wolverine movie should have been so kickass. Instead at their " creative " meetings, to interested in wrecking DEADPOOL.
-
Now that is kicka$$. Everyone says that is better than the movie. I can account for it being a great game.
-
is procrastination. Fox loses the rights if there is no X-men related movie in five years With Ryan Renolds doing Green lantern all that has to happen is something to side track this, after Iron man 2 comes out Marvel will able to print a mint and basically can afford to get the rights back to the X-men.

No biggie, just a quick Q&A for a local website in Scotland I was working with for a bit. He came across as really cool & shared some nice stuff about Way of the Gun. This is definitely cool news.
-
Bryan Singer crapped all over the source material. He got only 1.5 characters right. And given that this is still Jackman's Logan, it'll just be another episode of Knifeyboy and his Mostly Mundane Friends. This series needs major retooling and that ain't going to happen without starting everything over from the ground up. Or, pull an Incredible Hulk and just kinda allude to the other flicks never having happened.
-
They're always going to find a way to fuck things up. Until Marvel takes their shit away from Fox, until Marvel absolutely refuses to do business with those shitwizards, it's always, at best, a fucking coin flip on whether or not a movie will suck, regardless of the talent attached to it. So, no, I'm still not interested.
-
I don't even know if it's feasible, but given the end of Wolverine, couldn't we just fast forward to present time for a solo Wolverine story? I say bring on the Hulk and get some crossover action going, while taking the character back to his roots (and paying homage to his first appearance no less).

with Eric Bana playing both characters. No Bryan Singer, I sorta like the director but his X-men have no charm or real drama. Jackman is shit, use Eric Bana all Australians look alike anyway. No black leather.

Hopefully it'll be in there somehow.

But it isn't as appalling an idea as World of Warcraft as a movie!! That is awful!!
-
Was a fan of his when he was Lindsay on Angel, but his current role on TNT's Leverage shows that he would make an awesome Wolverine. He's pretty much playing Wolverine sans the mutant powers and claws. Mysterious guy with a military/CIA type past who can take on rooms full of guys, has a wounded childhood thing going on (always looking out for defenseless kids) - even a bit of a feral berserker rage he gets into. <p>btw, if McQuarrie wrote the great Magneto concentration camp scene in the first movie, why isn't he working on the Magneto prequel?
