Wolverine Shows Up Other Comic-Con Guests
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Adventure, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
San Diego is filled with costumed readers who delight in adventure and get a thrill from the works of Stan Lee. Scheduled appearances by stars like Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connolly, Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis made a big splash as Comic-Con, but it was the unscheduled appearance of Hugh Jackman that left everyone talking.
Jackman appeared in the crowd fresh off the Wolverine set and sporting stubble, but the audience ate it up. The actor bounded on stage to shake hands with Wolverine creator Len Wein to rousing applause, and even showed off a few clips from the upcoming X-Men prequel which will focus on his character’s story. He thanked the 6,000 people in attendance for their devotion and is today the highlight of every paper.
In other words, look for the Wolverine movie to make a ton of money in the near future.

Cast Additions for Wolverine
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Casting, Lists, Upcoming Releases,
UPDATE: Two more names have since been added to the bottom of the list.
Back in October, we reported that a spinoff of the X-Men series was in the works. The prequel, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, would explore the beginnings of Hugh Jackman’s storyline 17 years before the first movie took place.
Now four months later, we are getting a picture of how the rest of the cast is filling out. It was originally rumored that Liev Schreiber would be playing a younger version of William Stryker (the role Brian Cox filled in X2). That role actually belongs to Danny Huston (30 Days of Night). But Schreiber will still have a presence in the film; he is now set to star as Victor Creed (a.k.a Sabretooth).
Here’s a list of the actors currently joining slated to join Jackman:
- Lynn Collins (The Number 23): Kayla Silverfox
- Danny Huston (The Kingdom): William Stryker
- Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) Gambit
- Ryan Reynolds (Definitely, Maybe): Deadpool
- Liev Schrieber (The Painted Veil) : Victor Creed/Sabretooth
- will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas singer): Wraith
- Dominic Monaghan (Lost): Barnell
- Daniel Henney (My Name Is Kim Sam-soon): Agent Zero
The film is still scheduled for a May 1, 2009 release.

‘Wolverine’ To Hit Theaters In 2009
Posted by David Onda Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases, Short FilmCrunch,
Fanboys everywhere are squealing with glee as Twentieth Century Fox announces that they have set a date for the eagerly awaited and horribly titled X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The film will hit theaters on May 1, 2009 and, of course, star Hugh Jackman as Marvel’s short-tempered, adamantium-clawed mutant. In addition to release date excitement, Variety reports that Liev Schreiber is in talks to play a younger version of William Stryker, Wolverine’s nemesis who was played by Brian Cox in X2.
What excites me? Rumors that the film (to be directed by Tsotsi’s Gavin Hood), which will be partially filmed in New Orleans, will include the previously left out X-man, Gambit. If I had a dollar for every playing card I lost/ruined by imitating the cartoon version of the Cajun mutant, I’d be freakin’ rich.
A few other new mutants (as well as returning ones) are expected to make appearances. Fox is also trying to get the origin story of X-Men villain Magneto off the ground and into theaters.

Wolverine EPS Targets Pros
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Movies, Music, Portable Audio / Video, USB,
Wolverine’s EPS 250 GB Multimedia Storage Player is a 7-in-one card reader for moving JPEG, Bitmap, Tiff, Text, and RAW images to memory cards. It supports CF, SD & SDHC, MMC, MS, MS-Pro, and XD cards. Add the optional adapter and it will also read MS-Duo, MS-Duo Pro, miniSD, and RS-MMC cards. If you are in it for the music, the EPS has a built in FM tuner, built-in mic and supports MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, AAC, and CDA. With an optional Cradle System it will record MPEG-1, MPEG-4, WMV9, and Xvid video from your TV/VCR/VTR or camcorder.
Designed for professionals, the battery-operated device is perfect for traveling and comes with earphone, USB and A/V cables, charger, and carrying case. We like the versatility of this do-it-all gadget although the EPS sans options will still set you back $649.99.
