There's a trailer up on yahoo. No one popped out at me on the stunt crew or fight choreography. Anyone got the down low on that?

There's a trailer up on yahoo. No one popped out at me on the stunt crew or fight choreography. Anyone got the down low on that?

I saw the trailer yesterday when I went to see Day the Earth Stood Still. I'm wondering if the fight choreographer isn't Corey Yuen, though as far as I know, he only choreo'd the first X-Men movie. Somehow I doubt it is, though.

i saw it at the day the earth stood still premiere. thats right premiere lol. anyway it was cool, but im not muh of a wolverine fan, the person with me noted that wolverine has been wearing that same jacket for four movies already, which was a true lol moment. as for the movie itself im gonna watch it again before i talk about it, seeing am movie at a premiere with all the pomp puts a curse on you when your not use to it. it happened to me with bond, you see the movie the actors who are in it are just feet away(in the case of bond i was in the same row as craig and two seats away because the usher probably thought i was his bodygaurd, and he didnt say anything about it, score one for being a big imposing black guy) but watching it their i couldnt help it i was caught up in the pageantry and cheering and clapping like a little fanboy. then when i saw it again, it was all gone and what i thought was a truly majestic film was just ok film. one thing i'll say about the day the earth stood still in keanu reeves, he's smart as long as he keeps picking roles where he is suppose to be wooden he's going to always have a career. and from now on im going to be calling him Pinocchio.

The new Wolverine movie looks like it might be good.

I like that they are using stuff from the Origin comic, and including his childhood being in the 1800s and the bone claws.

I actually have a great deal of hope for this movie. From what I understand some of it might not be that long before the first X-Men movie. Like, all the stuff with that same jacket. There's probably a good portion of this movie that's going to be covering like 70 years worth of stuff that happened to the dude. Just in the trailer you see him in what looks like the Civil War, WWI and WWII.

going to the new york premiere of this film. cant wait.

[RonH]

A guy I know saw an early screening. It's too far removed from canon for me to watch it.

[GeneChing]

...it might have even been on Spanish TV. It was the ending and it didn't impress me. Honestly, even with the new Spidey and Batman, I'm sort of done with comic book hero flicks now.

However, I will say great for Will Yun Lee. He was a poster boy for Tiger Claw back in the day. Nice guy... very sincere practitioner.

"Brian Tee and Will Yun Lee"

The Wolverine, Fox’s sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is casting its villains.

Will Yun Lee, recently seen on the CBS drama Hawaii Five-O, and Brian Tee, who has appeared recently on shows such as Grimm and Burn Notice, are joining Hugh Jackman in the Japan-set movie based on the Marvel Comics hero.

James Mangold is directing the movie, which is scheduled to begin production next month in Australia.

The story borrows heavily from the Chris Claremont-Frank Miller Wolverine comic book miniseries that premiered in the 1980s.

Tee is playing Noburo Mori, a corrupt minister of justice who is about to marry the daughter of a yakuza crime lord (the daughter is Wolverine’s love interest).

Lee will play Harada, more commonly known as The Silver Samurai. He possesses an electrified suit of samurai armor and is the illegitimate son of the crime lord.

Yun Lee, repped by APA and Industry Entertainment, recently wrapped voicing action the video game Sleeping Dogs and will be seen in the Total Recall remake. He also plays a villain in MGM’s Red Dawn remake.

Tee was part of the ensemble cast of the Starz drama Crash and has a string of TV appearances. He is repped by DiSante Frank & Co.
