‘Wolverine’ goes back for re-shoots!

Apparently, and this has been further confirmed by Collider since the article’s initial publishing, ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ is going into extensive re-shoots. There is some debate about why. Was this originally planned from early on in the production as the studio suggests, or is it to resolve some less-than-favorable portions of the film? Personally, I thought the trailer made the movie look incredible. Then again, you know how “good-looking” trailers can often be misleading. I’ll let those parties interested in knowing more read the article for themselves… it’s a good one. To read the full article, click here.

In the meantime, Hugh Jackman himself sent Ain’t It Cool News an email regarding the re-shoots.   Here’s what he had to say:

Hey Mate- Would you mind posting this? Thank you for your support! HJ

Hey everyone –

It’s Hugh Jackman, sending this note from freezing Vancouver. I have read a lot of your online comments regarding the footage that we are currently shooting and I share your passion for the Wolverine character and the movie – I owe it all to you guys!

Hugh

I wanted to reach out and let you know that due to scheduling conflicts with certain cast members and location/weather considerations, we had to wait until now to shoot a couple of scenes. Please rest assured that WOLVERINE will be badass and hopefully meet all of your expectations. I am stoked by the positive response to the teaser, which clearly reflects the tone and scope of the film. If you like that, we’ve got much more in store!

In the meantime, here’s an exclusive shot of some characters you may recognize…

Cheers,

And here’s the photo he was talking about:

Pretty sweet, no?
