The Wolverine Is Coming

[Hugh Jackman: adamantium claws are in fashion]
Written by GL

20th Century Fox has notified fans that the X-Men spin-off of Wolverine is starting shooting this November. And Hugh Jackman is returning as the title character.

The word on the street is while the previous three X-Men films were shot in Vancouver, British Columbia (that's in Canada), this new spin-off will be shot in Sydney, Australia - a warmer feel with a more acrid feel. Seems like a pretty good place to feature the origins of Wolverine.

The film will be directed by South-African, Gavin Hood (best known as the award-winning director of Tsotsi, an international film that won cargo containers full of trophies) from a script by David Benioff (the writer of Troy).

How professional does this production team sound? It seems like Hollywood can almost guarantee that Wolverine the movie won't be anywhere near as lacking as X-Men: The Last Stand.
