New Wolverine Photo
Filmonic sent over this new promo shot of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The scan comes from the latest issue of Empire Magazine. I heard that Fox isn’t holding a panel for this film at Comic Con… which is kinda strange, don’tcha think?
Kevin Durand Talks The Blob
Kevin Durand recently spoke to The Source about his role as The Blob in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
“I wasn’t a comic book kid because I was busy playing hockey here in Thunder Bay. That’s all I wanted to do and all I dreamed of really. But when I saw the first (X-Men film), I was just in awe and the second one (X2:X-Men United) just blew me away,” he said.
When he heard the news a new installment was in the works, he was hoping the producers would consider him for a part and luckily for Durand, they already knew his name and called for him to take a look at the part.
And to get the larger than life Blob ready for the cameras, it took six months of costume and special effects preparation.
“I have a feeling people are going to like him,” Durand said.
I think people will like him because The Blob is big, fat and stupid. I pray we get some of this goodness in the movie.
New Trailer For Wolverine And The X-Men
A second trailer for the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon has appeared online over at Marvel. The short trailer is everything we expect from the X-Men, lots of powers, fighting and Sentinels. If there are any X-fans out there still licking their wounds after X-Men 3, then this should get them all excited.
Marvel also say:
Although, we are still months away from its Nicktoons television début, you can be the first to see the THREE-PART PILOT of Wolverine and the X-Men at the SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON.
Will.I.Am Calls Himself A Noob
Will.I.Am, singing of ‘My Humps’ and ‘Don’t Phunk With My Heart’ recently spoke to MTV about his role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
“I’m a teleporter. … I’m here, I’m there, I’m everywhere. Boom, boom, boom!” Will revealed. “My character’s name is John Wraith. He’s a black Texan. He’s not a cowboy, but his gear suggests that he is. He’s just a badass who’ll whoop your ass.”
“You see that little scar I’ve got on my knuckles?” he asked, holding up his hand. “I’m a newbie when it comes to big action films and stuff. … It was my fight scene. I was real into it, and then I missed my mark, and I punched the camera and broke the lens!
“But that goes to show you,” he grinned. “I ain’t to be messed with, because I break lenses!”
“It was a really good experience,” Will said of the flick, “It’s my first movie. … And with ‘Madagascar 2,’ I think there has to be an angel or something or my grandma’s prayers guiding that. It’s pretty, pretty dope. And I’m grateful and happy about it all.”
Wolverine is finishing up shooting within the next couple of weeks, so we can expect to see a teaser trailer sometime in the upcoming months.
