Hey there Wolverine fans, Im Tatiana carrier and Ive got the scoop on wolverine! Director James Mangold recently dished to indie wire about wolverine, and we have the details! Mangold told The Playlist that he thought that a sequel was the best place for him to be able to imprint his personality on the property...he said, "You could actually just tell a story about this amazing character from the start, just the way they do when you really read a comic....You don't have to spend the first hour saying how they were born; you can actually just find them in an emotional space, in the middle of action, and what happens is you're not crowded with cutting to nine other action heroes. You can really make a movie about this dude." He also discussed initial hesitation on "The Wolverine," .... specifically because of the attention director Darren Aronofsky attracted to it when he signed on to direct and then pulled out. He said, "I spoke to Darren a bit about it before I ended up taking it on...But I will tell you that when Darren stepped off, I was in the middle of doing a lot of other things, and when it was brought up to me, I actually didn't even consider it for the very reasons you're talking about. It was, oh, who wants to do that, and follow that, and I could hear all of the media swirl about it." He went on to say "Several months went by and I hadn't even really read it, and later when they came back to me and I kind of took it in, and a lot of that hand-wringing had kind of died down...What I saw was some really promising material, and to me an interesting character played by a great friend of mine who's a terrific actor, Hugh Jackman." Ultimately, however, Mangold gave the most scoop on the "The Wolverine" ....he said, the flick would focus on the ideas that are at the core of the character, even as he delivers a visceral, intense, and entertaining film. I think more than anything, it's a character piece, asking really interesting questions that are what pulled me in about what it means to be immortal. What is it to live forever, when you lose everyone you've ever loved? Either you watch them get killed, or you just lose them by attrition. What is it to feel the burden of saving mankind through all of its mistakes, over and over and over again. What's the toll it takes on you as a living being that is somehow living this Frankensteinian, eternal life? And there's a lot of interesting dramatic questions we're going to deliver on as well as some really inventive action." I personally cant wait for the wolverine to come out! But what about you guys?
