During an interview with X-Men Origins Wolverine’s Gavin Hood and Producer Lauren Schuler Donner spilled about the 2 disc Bluray release of their film.
Aside from pimping all the special features and deleted scenes, there was some talk about the Wolverine sequel, presumed to cover Logan’s experience living in Japan.
I just think that the Japanese story is so iconic and beautiful and could be so visual. That’s the one and I’m reluctant to talk about others because I know Len [Wein]’s writing others now. And honestly, here’s the truth: if the Japanese story works, there might be another sequel. And if it doesn’t, there won’t be. You can get ahead of yourselves by sort of stirring up rumors of what might be. I’m not going to even go there.
I don’t even know if I would be involved. Right now I’m not attached. Nobody’s attached. They’re developing a script and we’ll see where everybody is. I’m hoping to be shooting something next year and I don’t think that ‘Wolverine’ will be ready for next year. I haven’t been approached one way or another. The studio is obviously very cautious. They want to see how Wolverine does on DVD.
No word if the special edition bluray will also feature corrected special effects shots, and while the intention is there to make another Wolverine film, there is no official movement on the project just yet.
During the interview I found it somewhat ironic that Hood says they had a great respect for the source material, yet they made Logan and Victor half-brothers and then mislead us about the character of Deadpool (I still hold that Weapon XI was not Deadpool and that Wade Wilson is still out there waiting to take on the title) Also when the plot set up a perfect excuse for Logan’s memory loss, they dodged it and opted for Stryker magically knowing an adamantium bullet would erase it for him. Because that made more sense?
I would be interested to see more as there really is only one way to go with this franchise. Up! Listen to the fanbase and overcome the mistakes. Its a perfect formula for success.
And for the Love of Zod, hire better effects monkeys and give Wolverine some believable claws to kill a bathroom with.
