–On May 1st, X-Men Origins: Wolverine will open in the U.S., with Hugh Jackman in the title role. Because of his furry nature, Wolverine is a fave of mine, and Jackman portrayed him well in the previous three X-Men movies.
The film is a prequel that will be set roughly 20 years before the initial X-Men flick, and will focus on Wolverine’s violent and rather dark past; this will include his involvement with Sabretooth and the Weapon X program. Jackman, who felt that Wolverine had kind of mellowed in his last outing, wanted to portray the character as we first met him in Wolverine’s cage match in the initial X-Men flick. To prepare for the role, Jackman underwent a weight training and cardio program, and engaged in high-intensity work- outs in character, making noises while exercising!
Hugh Jackman also gave a rousing performance as vampire and supernatural creature hunter Gabriel Van Helsing in the film Van Helsing. –His upcoming flick should be a hoot!
