Hugh Jackman Talks ‘X3′ and ‘Wolverine’

Wolverine gets an upgrade

Wondering what will be new with Wolverine in the upcoming X-Men 3 movie or what the status of the Wolverine spin-off is? Well, Entertainment Weekly’s blog “Popwatch” was able to chat with Hugh Jackman and got a few answers to those questions and then some, here is a snippet:

EW: What’s different about Woverine 3.0?

HUGH JACKMAN: We tried to incorporate a little more of some of the artwork of the comics into Wolverine’s fighting style… Simon [Crane, stunt coordinator for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Troy, and both Tomb Raiders] kind of convinced me and we worked on some styles of incorporating some of the artwork in the comics, which is a little stylized, more to use what his strength is — which is [that he's] small.

EW: Will fans of the comic book be satisfied — especially since Bratt Ratner is new to the franchise?

Oh, yeah. There’s a lot of things we really tried to get in 1 and 2 which were just real expensive and we couldn’t get them in until 1 and 2 were so successful… if you go to that midnight screening on the first night, they’ll just be going ballistic. There’s some specific choreography, famous fighting moves, that we use in this movie that we haven’t been able to do before.

Yup, he actually likes it... a lot I would say

Feeling an urge to at least say something
Ahhhh, gotta like that word - 'cerebral'
I can't get on board with this thinking
'Benjamin Button' gets the international shaft
A director is possibly named...
Live from the set of Malta... well... not really live...
Jack's back and while the prequel ain't much there's still hope
Crazy makes for a fun film, but not necessarily a good one
Four Christmases pulls a slight upset...
Front loaded weekends are hard to follow-up
Will the guest stars outshine the lead?
It's a feast of post-holiday pictures
Van Damme can certainly play himself, but is that where it ends?
