“Hugh's a monster right now,” says actor Liev Schreiber.
Hugh Jackman beefed up for his role as Logan in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and the result is eye-popping. He looks good, and Twentieth Century-Fox is hoping the 40-year-old actor's rugged new image will translate to box-office success.
Bringing credibility and artistic clout to X-Men Origins is South African director Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) and screenplay writer David Benioff (The Kite Runner, 25th Hour). In retelling Logan's checkered past, Benioff is bringing to the fore characters like Victor Creed/Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber), Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), and Remy LeBeau/Gambit (Taylor Kitsch). Hood, meanwhile, hints of great sequences involving these characters and everyone's favorite Canadian loose cannon, Logan.
Empire ushers in the New Year by doing a feature story on X-Men Origins and putting Hugh Jackman on the cover. Considering the gloomy forecast experts are giving for 2009, Jackman's grave expression (coupled with the baleful, sinister clouds gathering in the horizon), is perfect.

this movie is something everyone should watch out.
im an xmen fan and a wolverine follower. hehehe...
I'm an X-Men fan too! I used to buy X-Men comics back when Jim Lee was still doing the art work. I stopped buying during college when comics got too expensive.
I'm not a big fan of Bryan Singer's X-Men films though. I like the comic books better. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is okay though. :-)

can't wait for this one

Yeah, Gambit rules!
I'm crossing my fingers they do an X-Men Origins: Gambit thingie in the future. That would be nice.

Yeah, May seems too far away... Hugh Jackman will be hosting the Oscars on February 22nd though. I'm hoping he'd do a Wolverine spoof during the show, ehehe.
