Wolverine (movie)

[desertphoenix]

I didn't give this idea much thought when i first came across it, but i came across it again in wikipedia(people, it is not a reliable source).

A prequel to the x-men movies, staring Huge Jackmen, has a script ready as of Oct. 15 2006(not final). The shooting may begin later this year. The movie will be based on Wolverine's past before Weapon X.

As much as I kind of don't trust wikipedia for these kinds of things, I am kind excited for this movie, but i have my doubts. After watching X-men 3, I've learned that Hollywood can be cruel:animestun. But, i think i would like this movie if it came out.
Did anyone else hear about this?

[Magus]

Yes, I've also heard about it. Although, most of my sources for movies comes from the tv itself. I saw an interview with Hugh Jackman on E! around the time X-Men was 1st released at the theatres. Hugh said he was directing the movie himself. As for the date and whatnot, he did not say a word.

Err... I am a little skeptical about it because I didn't care for any of the X-Men movies, but I won't pass judgment until I atleast see a preview or something.

Magneto is also getting his own spinoff after the Wolverine movie.

It will no doubt suck just as much as X3.

As for the Wolverine movie i have no idea, but i hope it won't be too bad.

I wouldn't think so, I always found Magneto to be better done than the other characters in the movies, I personally believe his prequel will be better than Wolverines which would be just a pure geek out.

Oh yeah. A Magneto prequel would rule 100 times over Wolverines. I have always found Magneto's backstory far mnore interesting that Wolverine's contrived "Weapon X" past. Magneto is such an interesting character too.

It would be cool to see Magneto's past, his survival of the Nazi death camps and his anguish at not advancing his power enough to take his captors on (Magneto in his prime would lay waste to the Nazi's) It would all make for an emotion packed and awesome movie experience.

I'm indifferent to the Wolverine film.

A magneto movie would be kind of interesting, but i don't think they would focus so much on the Nazi camps. Except for when [spoiler] Magneto rips a chain fence with his powers[/spoiler], i really have no clue to how they could elaborate on his Nazi camp experience of that of another little boy. Magneto growing up onto the adult as we know him kind of gets explained a bit in the X-men movies. Most of Magneto's past I don't really know, so i guess i can be taken by surprise by some things.

Well i guess it's safe to say that a lot of us want to see something done more with the X-men story in the movies, but we don't want to see volumes of movies like The Land Before Time 10 and so on. I do understand there is pretty much a small army of X-men characters, but i do think a few had back stories worthy enough for the movies. Love him or hate him, i really wanted to see my favorite character Gambit have a role. He was thought about, but he got cut :animesigh . [spoiler]all i get is that he does exist in the movie universe when he is listed in the computer Mystique hacked into.[/spoiler].

Also with Magneto, we are told about him being a good man and wanting to help the world when he was younger but his mindset changing because of how everyone reacted to him, even when he used his powers to save his wife.

[vegeta rocker]

I think it would really depend on who did the movie (whether it sucked or not).

I mean there are lots of great things that go into a Magneto movie, but there are just as many ways to screw it up.

It depends on who does the film, so in hindsight me saying that the film will undoubtedly suck may be a bit rash, but it is certainly not unfounded.

Just seems that movies that ride a wave of popularity end of being crapy, like licensed games released quickly to coincide with movie releases.

I don't even think a wolverine movie is needed. I mean the last three X-men movies all revovled around Wolverine. They should have named the movies "Wolverine with some other X-men thrown iin" lol.

Still if Hugeh Jackmen is going to do the film ill probably see it anyway :animesigh .

[JCBaggee]

[color=darkred]We already got one Wolverine movie though!

...it was called X-Men >_> *canned laughter*

I'm not sure how I feel about a Wolverine prequel. It may be halfway decent, depending on who's behind it. Ratner did a really good X-Men action flick, there was just absolutly no plot behind it. Well, not a good one anyways.

I hate the fact they cut Gambit a wolverine move sounds cool, but I want an X4 with GAMBIT NOTHING BUT GAMBIT SCENES OF GAMBIT SO MANY SCENES OF GAMBIT YOU COULD JUST CALL THE MOVIE GAMBITTT!!!

Enough of that serious how could they cut out my favorite characters Gambit and Jubilee thats not right its dirty and wrong and they have to do a sequel now with the disappearance of Scott cause we know he's not dead there was even a part in the XMEN comics where he went missing for like a saga or two then he came back in a X-MEn new issue titled Scott returns or something.

I would have loved to see an extra Gambit or two thrown in there for the sake of my favorite character, but o well. If they do make an X4, it would just seem they are milking the series a bit and same with the Wolverine movie. If they do make a X4 anyway without Gambit, I will had officially given up on mankind...again. Since Gambit is in the same age group as Rogue (I hope), I think it would be interesting to see him as a teenager, or whether they jump a few years and show him as an adult.

I also don't know what X4 would do about [spoiler]Jean[/spoiler] being very dead, but I don't know the entire X-Men series all the way through to really know better. As for villains and plots, there are just too many to just pick one :D .

Thats so true lol.

I also think Rogue should use her powers...... ;)

Pretty soon there will be a movie about Wolverine spending a weekend in the Hamptons.

They can easily do one without Jean in the current X-MEN Comic Jean Gray is once again dead and now Cyclops is married to Emma Frost AKA The White Queen leader of the once existant Hellfire Club. She is now a reformed X-MEN member.

Gambit is now with Apocalpyse and is the current Horseman of Death and Mystique is now an official member of the X-MEN along with Creed AKA Sabretooth both are members of Rogue's X-MEN platoon.
