Eight possible directors have been shortlisted for The Wolverine

JoBloJoBlo

A list consisting of eight directors has been put together for THE WOLVERINE.

Here’s who the studio is considering:

-Jose Padilha

-Doug Liman

-Antoine Fuqua

-Mark Romanek

-Justin Lin

-Gavin O’Connor

-James Mangold

-Gary Shore

Choices I can get behind: Liman, Romanek, Mangold, and perhaps Padilha. To me, the story is really going to be the heart of this film. Wolverine goes through such a journey not only physically but emotionally. He has always had fond memories of his time in Japan and I think with the right script and director this could be something really worthwhile.

But this shortlist tells me that they may not be so worried about the story at hand which is loosely adapted from Frank Miller and Chris Claremont’s Wolverine series.
