Trouble in Wolvieland? Aug. 20, 2008
Source: Hollywood Elsewhere
by: Mike Sampson

It's a story that could have been written for the past two or three months - there's trouble on the set of X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. It's something that hasn't been a well-kept secret as a lot of us in the web world have heard the rumors from down under. But now Hollywood Elsewhere is reporting on a specific instance to backup the rumors of Fox's unhappiness with the film. The report claims Fox head Tom Rothman is using his powers to override the word of director Gavin Hood. It seems Fox and Rothman aren't exactly happy with the WOLVERINE movie. While that might initially bum you out, their unhappiness with the film is a good thing. Fox has reportedly been very unhappy with the "dark" tone of the film and is actively working to try and make it more "family friendly." Right, because that worked so well with FANTASTIC FOUR...

Hollywood Elsewhere says that Hood left the set for a brief period of time only to return and see a large set for the film had been completely repainted to make it brighter and give it less of a dark and somber vibe. I would think that with the success of THE DARK KNIGHT and the Comic-Con footage (which featured Wolverine telling Sabretooth he was going to rip his "goddamn head" off), that they might opt for a darker feel.

Now keep in mind that rumors of turmoil between Fox and Hood have been swirling for some time now and this is just one of the first leaked incidents to support those rumors. I'm sure as the project continues through editing and post-production we'll hear even more. Hopefully Fox will invite a few select journalists to some kind of pow-wow with Hood (perhaps in the edit bay) to help straighten all this out...

Extra Tidbit: Hood previously directed TSOTSI and RENDITION.

I already saw one comic movie gutted this year please don't make it 2. And for those that don't know, I'm talkin about "Wanted". It was a great action flick but about 90% of the comic was left out of the movie. That fukkin sucked.

WOLVERINE MOVIE BUZZ
Great! The studio is trying to turn Wolverine Origins into a Disney (Hannah Montanna) film.Wolverine Orings should be three times darker than the The Dark Knight movie.Why mess up a Wolverine movie,can't they screw up an unpopular comic book movie?

Fox are idiots. Why don't they turn it into a musical while they're at it.

LAST WEEKS...
... untrue rumor for Punisher should be a lesson that we shouldn't waste too much of our time on them and wait for real news.

I've been begging for a more adult comic book movie for a while, and I doubt Wolverine will be it, but here's to holding out hope. I'm thinking Punisher or Watchmen will end up filling the bill on that account.

"Fox sucks....totally and without inhibition. They are the GW Bush of studios. "

I love the comparison of world politics to a comicbook movie. Fanboys are so hardcore d00d!

I bet that poster has lots of bumper stickers on his car pronouncing his views on religion and his political beliefs! How eXtreme!!!

FOX SUCKS
This is the second movie FOX is trying to ruin in the past few weeks, the Hobbit being the other. Most of movies profits comes from rentals and dvd sales. No one wants to buy Fantastic Four type movies. Kids don't have money, but the rest of us do. Leave the kids movies to Pixar and Disney.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK FOX!

Must they ruin every single movie they touch? They turned Hitman, Die Hard, and countless other movies into abominations, all in the name of money. They must be completely retarded.

What's Fox trying to go the old Batman route of making a movie just to sell shit-loads of toys? I'd check it out anyway, but darker does sell better (TDK).

LOOK AT DARK KNIGHT
Dark Knight is prolly concidered a "dark" movie and I would say it's a hard PG-13. Look at how it's doing....who cares....if it scares the kiddies...then they can go home and watch sponge bob!

Give me my mean, pissed off hairy woverine dam-it!
