Update : As predicted, the footage as been removed for the time being from the source sites and also from platforms like YouTube. For those of you who watched it, good for you. For those who didn't, don't worry...for what goes on the Internet, stays on the Internet. It'll pop up again soon enough. Who knows, a HD trailer might be out pretty soon, too!
In case you didn't already know, Hugh Jackman made a surprise appearance at the recent Comic Con and revealed some kickass footage from next year's summer blockbuster, X-Men Origins : Wolverine. It isn't in the best of quality since it is a bootleg version but at least it's watchable. Extra info for those who were not following the developments of this flick, Wolverine is a prequel that takes place almost 20 years before the first X-Men movie. We finally get to dwell deep into Logan's shrouded past and see what the mysterious Weapon X project that coated Logan's bones with Adamantium steel is all about.
You can watch the footage in two parts HERE and HERE. Watch them A.S.A.P coz' they're bound to be removed.
What has me hyped the most is the fact that we'll see glimpses of Logan's childhood, taken off the pages of the critically acclaimed 6-part Origins comic series. Also, a bunch of other muties make their on-screen debut in the flick. Ryan Reynolds plays Deadpool, The Blob is in there, and yes...we finally get to see Gambit. You read right, guys, Gambit! Oh, and there's a new Sabretooth in this played by Liev Schreiber. I have to say, I like the new version better than the one Tyler Mane put up.
Despite all its kickassness, I always tend to wonder what an [R] rated Wolverine movie would be like. F*ckin' badass is what it'd be like! I like the footage that I saw, no doubt, but wouldn't it be totally awesome if they made a brutal, hack and slash, don't-give-a-sh*t version of Wolverine on screen, the way he's supposed to be? *Sigh*. Anyway, other things I'm not digging despite their uber-coolness are Gambit being in the flick and Deadpool without a mask. A pre-cancer Deadpool, maybe? Deadpool without the scars is like Batman without his parents getting killed. And as for Gambit, as much as I've always wanted to see the character on the big screen, how's he even Gambit 20 years before the first X-Men movie? What does that make him in the present, 48 years old?! I know Logan and Victor Creed aka Sabretooth age slowly, but Gambit, too? Wha....?
Nonetheless, kickass footage and Hugh Jackman promises us a lotta' berserker rage, so let's keep our fingers crossed!
X-Men Origins : Wolverine is due to rip some flesh on May 1, 2009. It stars Hugh Jackman as the berserker-bound mutant and is directed by Gavin Hood of Tsotsi and Rendition fame.
