X-Men Origins: Wolverine Footage Debuts
July 24, 2008 | 1 Comment
At San Diego Comic Con today a brief trailer-like set of clips from the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie debuted. The movie will premier in theaters May 1, 2009.
Sadly, I’m not at Comic Con, and as of now there is no linked cell phone footage. The best I can do is share some of the characters and castings that have been confirmed and/or shown:
- Hugh Jackman is of course reprising his role as Logan/Wolverine.
- Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed/Sabretooth (replacing Tyler Mane)
- A younger Major William Stryker will be played by Danny Huston.
- Taylor Kitsch as Remy LeBeau/Gambit
- Lynn Collins as Kayla Silverfox
- Kevin Durand as Frederick J. Dukes/The Blob
- Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool
- Daniel Henney as David North/Agent Zero
- Dominic Monaghan as Barnell Bohusk/Blackwing/Beak
- IESB is claiming they saw Emma Frost in the footage too
Other than all these characters making brief appearances in the film, not much is known yet. Hopefully a general public trailer will be revealed in the next couple months. Filming has completed.

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Movie
October 20, 2007 | 5 Comments
Marvel announced the title and release date of their upcoming X-Men movie trilogy spin-off. The official title will be X-Men Origins: Wolverine and will be released on May 1, 2009.
I like how they are including “X-Men” in the title. This helps to link it to the other three movies and in turn will hopefully gain it more recognition and success. It also sets up the proposed Magneto movie to have a similar title like “X-Men Origins: Magneto”. I’d love a whole series of these single character focused X-Men movies, the possibilities are extensive: Professor Xavier, Emma Frost, Beast, maybe even Gambit? The May release is also significant as this solidifies May as Marvel’s movie month, I could get used to that.
Of course Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role as Wolverine. According to Marvel.com, there is also the possibility of “a young William Stryker, Sabretooth, Weapon X and a bevy of other mutants—both returning and new characters.”

X-Men 3 apparently has an official title now, X-Men 3: The Last Stand. I think these teaser posters speak for themselves. I especially like the tag line “Take A Stand”.

Happy Feet
November 19, 2005 | 28 Comments
A trailer for Happy Feet ran in front of the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire show I saw last night. The trailer didn’t give a clear idea of what this movie will be about other than it is musical, digitally animated, funny, and about penguins. It has me hooked. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t alone, as a palpable buzz infected the entire packed theater after the trailer ended.
The official blurb on what Happy Feet is about:
Happy Feet is a comedy adventure set in the land of the Emperor Penguins in the heart of Antarctica. These penguins sing, and each needs their own special song to attract a soul mate. Our hero Mumble (ELIJAH WOOD), son of Elvis (HUGH JACKMAN) and Norma Jean (NICOLE KIDMAN) is the worst singer in the world… but he can tap-dance something fierce!
