A Slim, Glimmer Of Hope...

Now, this is a positive sign from Fox...

Finally, a bit of news that provides the possibility that 20th Century Fox might just "get" it about Wolverine and all the other characters they've got options on. Well, at least Wolverine.

The Hollywood Report announced that Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie) has been hired to write the sequel to the Studios' "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Does this mean that Fox, and more particularly, Tom Rothman understand that they've been badly handling some very valuable characters? Doubtful, these are the Fox Suits that took David Benioff's very good script and beat it down into mediocrity. But hey, there's always hope. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Let's hope this is one of those times...

Wolverine Trailer No Mouse...

The new trailer for "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is up
thanks to to USA Today...

But you might want to put on your reading glasses because it's really small. Here's to hoping the film is great. I think Hugh Jackman is a great actor so long as he's not teamed up with Stephen Sommers...

Sheesh, I hate all the prefaces before the title. Why can't it just be Wolverine? Does anyone not living under a rock NOT know that he was part of the X-Men. I'm gonna hate Captain America if they really do have that "The First Avenger" before it. Can you imagine if they had done Batman or Superman the same way with "The First Justice Leaguer?" Suits... sometimes you just wanna beat some sense into their brains and then you realize: "Oh wait, they don't have brains!"

I read the original draft of Wolverine, but it's clear from the trailer that it's been rewritten. I like the version I read a lot. It was very good. One of the few things I didn't like was the bone claws, which come from an issue of the comics... one that I don't agree with for sure. The claws in most of the Wolvie canon are mechanical and added when he gets his bones were coated with adamantium. It just makes a more logical argument for me, but that's me.

You can wake up now, I'm through being geeky...
