So reports have been all over the place that X-Men Origins: Wolverine has had a lot of troubles internally, most of them revolving around director Gavin Hood battling the studio heads over the direction of the film. Well, news hit this week that reshoots were indeed going on up in Vancouver and suddenly those rumors were fueled by the news. But the question is: Do these reshoots mean good or bad news? Enter Hugh Jackman. He sent this little email over to Harry Knowles over at Aintitcoolnews:
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!
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,
Hugh
So yeah, that could be dude doing damage control but it’s cool to see the star do that. so you wanna check out that badass new pic he’s talking about? Check it out after the break.
Pretty bad ass, if you ask me.
Feels like it’s going to be a raw, stripped down version of a X-Men movie, to me. Yes, pretty bad ass.
