After weeks upon weeks of rumors and speculation, it's now (mostly) safe to consider it official: straight from Hugh Jackman's mouth comes word that Darren Aronofsky is indeed directing "Wolverine 2."
"The Wrestler" director's approach to the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" sequel will be, according to Jackman, quite "out of the box" and potentially "the best one yet" of all the "X-Men" films the Australian actor has starred in so far.
"I really do feel that," Jackman told New York Magazine of Aronofsky's enlistment in the "Wolverine" franchise. "I feel this is going to be very different."
Very different indeed. With films like "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream" under his belt, Aronofsky is nothing if not grim and provocative. Some viewers might argue that these qualities evaded the last "Wolverine" film, but Jackman believes that Aronofsky's sensibilities will mesh well with the Japan-set sequel.
"This is 'Wolverine.' This is not 'Popeye.' He's kind of dark," said the actor. "This is a change of pace. Chris McQuarrie, who wrote 'The Usual Suspects,' has written the script, so that'll give you a good clue. [Aronofsky's] going to make it fantastic. There's going to be some meat on the bones. There will be something to think about as you leave the theater, for sure."
For his own part, Jackman is hard at work transforming himself into the fast-healing adamantium-laced mutant, starting with a strict workout regime and a hardcore diet.
"I'm starting; I'm having my six meals a day," said Jackman. "Expect to see four chicken breasts and a whole pile of steamed broccoli on my plate."[/quote]
Hugh Jackman is sexy.
hugh jackman can jack my man anytime :smug:
best one yet is not a high standard hugh
Why did this require a second film? It ended roughly where Xmen 1 started off.
Aronosky doing Wolverine 2? There's gonna be some trippy shit in it.

Hopefully, this one won't suck.
I would not watch Wolverine 2 under threat of death. The first one was so goddamn awful.
Scientist says to stereotypical bad guy, "You're going to shoot him in the brain with the incredibly convenient adamantium bullets that you for some reason have? But it won't kill him, somehow we know!"

I like how he called it the 'Wolverine franchise.'
This isn't a sequel really. This is probably going to be an alternate part of wolverines timeline. If it's in Japan, it's going to be different. Wolverine spent lots of time there in the comics, and is even a "samurai" according to some group of samurais.

Yeah, the first movie was shit. That being said, in the hands of a good writer, director, and crew, I feel better about this than the last one. The last one had a shit director.
Oh yeah, didn't he fall in love with that japanese chick in but like her husband or something was gonna kill her unless he left. I like Wolverine before he lost his memory, after he's just a thug.
