Jackman vs Schreiber

How come Jackman gets all the ladies?? Maybe this will help Schreiber find his motivation to hate Jackman's character. That and choking on an apple.
I love Jackman...

Liev doesn't resemble Sabretooth in the slightest... not to knock his acting skills. I understand that Jackman isn't EXACTLY Wolverine, either, but Sabretooth is supposed to be fucking huge. Not to mention breaking all sense of continuity with the first "X-Men." Perhaps some post-production after they undergo some Weapon X craziness? I'll withhold final judgment...
no more make-up than that though?

Less is more i guess. He just doesnt look as grand as a sabretooth with a long blonde mane. i want some curly looks. maybe a mullet, if there's an 80s, early 90s sequence!

Never really saw Liev as Sabretooth and these pics don't do much to change my mind. It's still way early and I'll at least wait till we see him in a trailer, but so far I'm still skeptical of this choice.

I like the guy as an actor, but Sabertooth is the type of character that should put the fear of god in someone by just looking at him. Liev doesn't have convincing body either. Bad choice in my opnion. I was incredibly foolish enough to doubt Mckellan before X-1, lets hope i'm making the same mistake again:)
Yeah, back in the ol' Weapon X days... awesome.

I'm IN! That title REALLY sucks though. I mean I get it, they want to make sure people see that its tied to X-Men, but X-Men Origins? Seriously, that sounds ridiculous. It should just be Wolverine.
I'll wait until I see some footage before I crap on Liev.

If they had to use a pro wrestler, they should've got Sid Vicious, who not only looks the part, but has the voice as well. And if they had, it might've saved him from that nasty leg break he suffered in WCW. (Ouch.)

sabertooth looks like whatever artist draws him in whatever story. seems like this is a slightly more 'realistic take' like batman begins or something. but it is weird to have a spin-off movie that has the same actor play the lead, but a new actor play one of his nemesis..

i mean, it's not like this is a reboot or alternate universe, it's a spinoff.

so experts, what's the deal with the korean or ww2 looking uniforms, and sabertooth's bulletholes?

i only know a bit about weapon X, were they also used as experimental manimal supersoldiers at some point?

I'm not down on this movie at all, but in these backstage shots, it definitely looks like Randy Quaid's "Vacation" character got cast as Sabretooth. Still, I think it'll be a fun flick.

And you're cookin' with gas. I love the look of that guy. I say it's damn good castin', sucka.

Also: I seriously wish they'd just leave Jackman's hair alone like in those pics. All that grease and lame styling from the previous go-rounds makes me scared. I say keep it simple, man.

Besides, what kind of animalistic, rampaging maniac running around in the trenches of WWII or climbing through snow-covered woods in Canada uses Vidal Sasoon mousse? Not me, bub.

No actor continuity with these X films, its bad.

Trust me that, once the previews for this come out, and god forbid that they should suck, that I will be the first one in line ripping this flick but..............that hasn't happened yet. As far as Liev Schreiber goes I like his casting as Sabretooth. He hasn't let me down as an actor yet in any of the performances that I've seen him in so I'm definitely gonna reserve judgement on this. Plus, he does have a menace about him that is usually understated in his performances that I hope will be brought fully into light here.
That's freaking awful...
by Arnold Shitzembigger
Mar 4th, 2008
10:01:28 PM
Seriously?! I don't care how in character he gets, if the dude is mutant based on a giant cat, he should be muscled and sinewed at the very least. He looks awful. I don't give a crap about acting skills either. Was Sabertooth ever a character that did much more than act like the freaking cold-blooded killer a cat is anyway? Tell me they're going to CGI over him and that this is just performance CGI. Embarrasing...
So he gets shot a few times it would appear...

"I don't give a crap about acting skills either" - So in other words Fantastic 4 must have been the equivolent of The Godfather to you huh buddy? Sorry but if that were the case then what I'd do is just cast some no-name steroid freak from the WWE who sorta/kinda looks like Sabretooth and then cast him, then give him no lines to speak so that he couldn't embarass himself. Oh wait.......................... .

I must've missed the news that Liev Schrieber was playing Sabertooth, because those pics were a minor shock to the system.

Maybe some of you folks more familiar with this chapter in the Wolverine "saga" can school me on this, but does that even look like Sabertooth ever has, in any comic?

First off, I dont have 26" pythons or anything, but it seems like he should be more bulked-up than that. Also, I don't know the individual actors' inseam-length exactly, but I'm questioning whether Liev will suitably tower over JackMan, w/o some Peter Jackson Hobbit tricks.

I just read back over that and felt like maybe I was sounding shallow. He's a decent actor, and it will be interesting to see the character played by somebody who can do more than grunt and look menacing.

I'm not going to judge just yet though. I do agree with some of the other posters that Sabertooth should put the fear of god in you. If Wolverine is the best he is at what he does, Sabertooth should seem like a bona fide unstoppable force of nature - better than Wolverine in every way. Logan always managed to defeat Creed through heart and a bit of luck. I hope we see that in the movie - the one person who has a possibility of frightening Wolverine.

That would be great, in a weird trippy fucked up way.

I always thought a Wolf-era Jack Nicholson would have been good, just makes sure he has a few lines as possible and someone piss him off every morning. Even when he was younger he gave off that 'old pissed off guy' vibe, which is perfect for Logan.

Also in my alternate fantasy all-star X-Men universe, a Tombstone-era Val Kilmer as Gambit, Phylicia Rashad as an older more mature Storm, a younger/saner Tom Cruise as Cyclops, Anthony Hopkins as Magneto, and Michael Clarke Duncan as Apocalypse. Keep Grammer as Beast and Stewart as Prof X, can't really improve on that, just give them better dialog.

Who the fuck wants to see this? I can't imagine any fan of Wolverine would want to see yet another shitty incarnation of the character. I certainly don't. And this is so far beneath Liev Schrieber it's not even funny. The man is an acting God on a Broadway stage, it's absolutely terrible he's never been able to translate it to the big screen in the same capacity. Hopefully some great director with a great script will wake up and give him that chance.

THAT'S Sabretooth??? The killer who's terrorized, fought and hunted Wolverine and his friends for decades???

He looks an out-of-shape ol' hound dog who's a few years short of "one last walk in the woods" with his owner.

Where's the MAKEUP??? Those Lee Press-On Nails? Those half-assed mutton chops?? That's IT??? No long hair? No facial prosthetics to at least make him LOOK scary or imposing?? Didn't they at LEAST give him a TRAINER so he'd have some... I dunno... MUSCLES, so he'd at least LOOK as if he could last 5 seconds against Hugh Jackman in a fight??? It just looks like Liev Schreiber the morning after a weekend bender! >:O

At least Thomas Haden Church bulked up suitably in order to visually look like Sandman in Spider-Man 3 (even if the REST of the film was weak)!!!

Between the endless stream of mutants showing up in this movie — who can't POSSIBLY be given any satisfactory screentime — and the now PATHETIC treatment and look given to Wolverine's most famous enemy, this film looks like the rightful successor to Jackman's Van Helsing movie... PURE CRAP!!!

Can someone please tell me HOW Marvel can give us Iron Man and Spider-Man one second and then have the GALL to waste time and money on obvious garbage like Elektra and THIS FILM???

Otherwise who on god's green earth is gonna believe that stick is gonna hold his own against Hugh Jackman? This looks weak. They could have at least had Clemens give him some Human Growth Hormones to bulk up a bit... this is sad. Stallone is like 60+ and he is in better shape than Liev.

He landed a cherry of a role and went and got fatter? No. Someone call up Clancy Brown, Ron Perlman or hell...I'd take Chevy Creatively Dead Inside Chase over this guy. But to be fair...he did grow some nice mutton chops. Nice job Liev, now pack up whatever you can fit in your pockets from the craft service table and step aside so this movie can be saved by someone who fits the part.

...Marvel have only just started making their own films with their own production company. the X-Men films, Spider-Man films, Hulk, DareDevil and Elektra and the Fantastic Four movies were all licensed out to studios, with varying degrees of control/input from Marvel and varying degrees of success. If you want to see what Marvel do when they're in control (now that Marvel Studios is up and running) then just wait and see what Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk are like this year.

Other than that, it looked made for Sci-Fi Channel. I don't know why my hopes are still up for Wolverine, it sounds like a mess but I'm holding out for a Batman Begins-like surprise.

It was late...I was ranting. My point is simply that the character of SabreTooth is pretty much a big cat in human form. Lions and Tigers are extremely muscled animals of grace and power. If that is Liev's finished look, it doesn't come across one iota as a big cat in human form. The other point is that the comics as I recall them (and I'm no SaberTooth historian) potray the character not as one of deep thought and wit, but as one of carnal aggression. Fantasic 4 was awful. They needed strong acting in those roles. I understand the need to have someone who can act (vs. Tyler Mane), but I wish they would have made the guy truly menancing through better makeup or use of CGI enhancements. Oh well...

Sabertooth is ultra aggressive. He is a killer, plain and simple.

And while your argument of "fuck off and die" is oh-so-very-strong, I think it still falls short of convincing me that Liev should be the one playing Sabertooth, and not someone who conveys much more menace.

And I am not saying Tyler should be that person, but there had to be someone else who would fit the bill.

Dude seriously, I didn't expect Leiv to look like Gerad Butler a la 300, but c'mon! A few sits and push ups at least! H makes me feel in shape and I'm a 280lb ex high school football player!

And he should've had dogtags that said "Sabretooth" in the first movie. And they should hire me as a consultant.

On Liev being fat...

I wouldn't say that at all. From the pictures, he actually looks fairly fit or at least average. He's just not muscled in any way. There's a difference but fat he is not. Now the dude from Lost (Hugo) playing SaberTooth...that's fat.

Tyler Mane wasn't what was wrong with X1's Sabretooth.

Why are you blaming him for making Sabretooth "stupid"? It was that Bryan Singer who did that. Tyler was playing the part as written. I've met Tyler in person and he's actually a very intelligent guy.

That's like saying Jerry Lewis or Dustin Hoffman are mentally retarded or something, just because they were in a movie. Anyone here think Robert DeNiro is really a mob boss?

Liev has the acting (and mutton) chops

to pull this off. Those pics don't look too disimilar to the Victor Creed drawn by Jim Lee in the Team X flashbacks in X-Men issues 3-5 where he had short cropped hair. I think personality-wise they Liev will nail Sabretooth. I'm hoping make-up and CGI does the rest.
These scenes take place in Nam

That's where Creed and Logan first come to the attention of Stryker. Remember's Stryker's line in X2 "I was flying choppers in Nam while you were still suckin on your momma's titty" or something along those lines? Benioff made a note of this and has created a backstory where Stryker discovers Creed and Logan are mutants and decides to use them in his experiments years later

I bet Creed did a lot of unauthorised killing and raping in Nam and Logan tried to stop him. Maybe that's why Creed ices Silverfox years later...just a thought
Liev would be better suited for GRAYDON Creed

Granted, the fact that these are *spy* pics adds to the awfulness... But I'd bet it will looks terrible on screen anyway. Methinks the first decision the next president should take as soon as he's elected is to forbid the 20th Century Fox to make any more comics adaptations.

Minimizing Villains, Except Magneto

X-Men movies biggest issue was minimizing all of their villains and only using Magneto in all 3 movies.

seriously. that dude looks bad. not cool bad. just flab bad. if i was cast as sabretooth, i'd hit the gym pretty hard. i'm sure the studio would hire you a trainer. damn.

http://x-worldcomics.com/YourV irtualStore/images/content/WEA PONX1.JPG (take out the spaces, obviously) Not quite as buff as the comics, but they've got the physical look down right at least. I'm not really one to complain about actor continuity in the movie versions of things as long as talented people play the characters. Look at it like this, artist change on the comics all the time, each one bringing their own look to the characters. So in a comic film franchise you don't necessarily need to have the same actors in every film. As long as the talent level stays, change the actors if you need to.

For now, I'll remain hesitant, but goofy name aside, he could have some acting chops for all I know, so I'll wait until I see some footage first before I throw up the bullshit card based on the fact that he's a rapper.

If the Weapon X project somehow "transforms" him into something actually resembling Sabretooth later in the film, this might not be so bad. What an unfortunate pair of pictures to leak first though!

I've said it for years...

Err, no, wait... another shitty stunt casting decision. Ghostface Killah was bad enough in Iron Man, but at least it's only a cameo. While Wraith is a full fledged character. What's next? Alicia Keys as Storm? J-Lo as Jean Grey?

Well, maybe Ghostface will rock in Iron Man
by SpencerTrilby
Mar 5th, 2008
01:39:06 PM
bitching aside, it may be a fun cameo.

But please, no more rappers in those movies. Some of them are actually decent actors, but 8 times out of 10 it's just a cheap nod to the urban audience and a way to sell more bullshit soundtracks.

Look, about Jackman as Wolverine...

A 5'2 or 4'11 Logan would look FUCKING STUPID on screen. Singer was SMART to ignore the height and focus on the 'personality' of the character. Jackman IS Wolverine, and always will be. Logan looks retarded short now---that's how convincing Jackman was for me.

This looks like a flashback. Like someone said before, maybe Nam. It's still funny to me seeing the knee-jerk reactions like clockwork. Surprised nobody has talked about how wrong the "costumes" are. I do like Sabretooth's Cornchip nailclips though.

I've always thought the wrestler Sid Viscious would make a great Sabretooth too, so I liked seeing his name in this talkback. Sounds a lot like the cartoon version. "Wolveriiiiiiiiiiiine!"
