Ratner To Direct 'Wolverine' Film?


Hollywood film-maker Brett Ratner is reportedly close to signing a deal to direct the X-Men spin-off Wolverine, after impressing producers with his work on upcoming second sequel X-Men: The Last Stand. The Rush Hour director is keen for Hugh Jackman to reprise his brooding superhero for the project, and Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels actor Vinnie Jones is also in contention to repeat his forthcoming Juggernaut role. Jones tells MTV, "(Brett) was saying that they'll probably use a lot of the characters. Hopefully (the Wolverine/Juggernaut rivalry) will come up.

[Beast]

Doesn't sound like it's going to be a prequel, unless Wolvie/Juggy have a history.

[Jellobay]

Wolverine and Juggernaut?

Okay, I guess. As long as it is a good movie, that is all I care about.

Wolverine and Sabertooth are rivals. Not Juggernaut.

Speaking of which any chance of Sabertooth appearing in this due to the history the two have?

If Logan/Juggernaut is well written then I may find this tolerable.

It's possible. Creed supposedly survived X1, if you go by the comics.
And him and Toad were originally planned to appear in X2.

If you go by the comics, Creed died in the X2 prequels... sadly :(

[Legato]

Damn. :mad: Any reason on why they decide to kill him off?

[bagheera]

Oh, Marlarky! Sabretooth never dies.

I'd be much more satisfied to see a Sabes/Wolvie storyline than Juggernaut!

Juggy isn't a Wolvie staple. :confused:

[Siddon]

Hopefully we will also have a few other villians, Deadpool comes to mind.

Hollywood film-maker Brett Ratner is reportedly close to signing a deal to direct the X-Men spin-off Wolverine, after impressing producers with his work on upcoming second sequel X-Men: The Last Stand.

Rumour has it that Joel Schumacher impressed producers as well with his work on Batman and Robin. :(

Ok, I made that up, I don't know how they felt. But it illustrates the point. Shouldn't they wait and see how the movie does at the box office and see if its liked or hated before turning over the reins to Ratner again.

[Will.S]

Yeah I agree.

I can't see Tyler Mane passing up being in a Wolverine movie either because it's not like he's really doing anything important right now. Wolverine is really the only movie that can work as a solo really, if they can actually make the Magneto one good then I'll be shocked but one spin-off is good enough, especially if the Wolveine one is rated a heavy PG-13 or R cuz he works much better without restrictions.

[Erik Lehnsherr]

What comes out first? This movie or the Magneto one? And, Will, if the Magneto movie is done in the format from his youth to what he became, it might be the best one of them all. The motivation behind such a intense character is always fun to see. It's about time Marvel put out a Godfather-like classic of a movie.

[Legato]

Hopefully we will also have a few other villians, Deadpool comes to mind.

If Lady Deathstryke somehow survives I would like to see her as the primary villain if Sabertooth doesn't make it.

[Siddon]

Honestly I would rather they just re-cast Sabertooth as Keifer Sutherland and make him pure CGI.

Tyler was a crap Sabertooth.

[Will.S]

It all depends on how much material the screenwriters can incorporate into the movie that stems from what the X-movies talk about in casual conversation such as Magneto/Xavier's taking in of Stryker's son and their approaching of Jean when she was young (which seems to be covered in X3).

If they can pull a really powerful script and tell Magneto's story from youth with lots of interesting stuff there, it'll be good but I'm just not sure if there's a whole lot to mine there since the first movie established his concentration camp origin and his vengeful Magneto character already. Perhaps if they also go into Erik's kids with Pietro and Wanda it'll also be good but hopefully studio rights won't prevent those two from an Avengers movie.

[Legato]

Honestly I would rather they just re-cast Sabertooth as Keifer Sutherland and make him pure CGI.

Tyler was a crap Sabertooth.

Thats because the script writers made him turn out to be some muscled thug with no dialog that works for Magneto.

I saw one Hercules movie whare Tyler Mane played a villain on thare and he was surprisingly good in that one compared to his role in X-1.

[MythicBrawn]

Wolverine may be able to carry his own book, but I don't think he can carry his own movie. Ditto for Magneto. They tried it with Elektra and her movie stunk. But, that's Hollywood for you. Take a concept and drive it into the ground. Next thing you know, they'll copy Marvel's concept of putting Wolverine in every Marvel book by adding him to every movie. Because you know that when Wolverine is in it, sales go up.

[bagheera]

Tyler Mane LOOKED like Sabretooth but the role was indeed written like a moron stooge muscleman.

I do not know anything about Mr Mane beyond this movie so I don't know if he has the acting chops to carry it off, but if he doesn't (or if the writers can't capture the character) then don't write Sabretooth into the movie. He is a great character and to do him halfa$$ would be a waste.

[Crimson]

Damn. :mad: Any reason on why they decide to kill him off?

In the comic prequels it seemed to do nothing more then prove Wolverine was the only one who could survive the adamantium process... but then in X-2 we see he's not (Lady Deathstrike).

As far as the movie, I haven't a clue.

[Bishop_Proudstar]

It makes more sense for both Lady Deathstrike and Sabertooth to return..

A prequel?

That means no "Jubes", or "Kitty"..


Wolverine already dominates the X-films.

why not just go ahead with "X4"?

Elektra already fought "The Hand" in her film.

Col. Stryker has already been revealed as the key figure behind Weapon X (maybe along with LDS's father).

So, I not sure who the "big gaddie" is going to be..

[Titan76]

I was hoping that they would put Wolverine in Japan and he deals with the Hand(forget about Elektra) and we might see Kitty or Jubilee with him. :( Oh well, I can't wait to see the great rivalry of Wolverine and Juggernaut. :confused: :rolleyes:

[cable guy]

I think a Wolverine movie could do great.

But for one thing, it would sure help if Sabretooth was in it.

And two, stay somewhat faithful to the comic. (a wolverine-juggernaut rivalry is not staying faithful)

[TheDarkestHorse]

What comes out first? This movie or the Magneto one? And, Will, if the Magneto movie is done in the format from his youth to what he became, it might be the best one of them all. The motivation behind such a intense character is always fun to see. It's about time Marvel put out a Godfather-like classic of a movie.
I take it you haven't seen the original 'Punisher' film, starring the great Dolph Lundgren. I challenge you to find ONE 'greatest film moments' list that doesn't include one or all of the 'bare-assed talking to God' scenes from that baby.

[FightingSpirit]

In the wolverine prequel I would like to see Sabertooth definitly! I feel he got shafted in the first movie. If juggernaut is in the movie it would make a good 3-way fight between them. Also I wouldnt mind seeing Omega Red either.

[Stagier]

wasn't it stated early that they wanted anna paquin to be in the wolvie movies, since she is the movie counterpart to the comic's kitty and/or jubes.

but if they go with prequel, it won't happen. maybe the movie will be split btwn then and now. japan would be tight, or even madipoor. love made up places!

i can see it now. Wolverine: Patch does Asia

[Vegetarian Goat]

Screenwriter Simon Kinberg talked to If Magazine in very vague terms about what characters we might see in the spin-off. "We did talk about a couple of characters that they wanted to save for the WOLVERINE movie spin-off," Kinberg said. "I can't tell you who they are, but there was really only one we wanted to use for 'X3,' and they said they're not going to have a big enough part to risk losing them for 'WOLVERINE.' Sabretooth will be in there, but I don't know in what form. I think his relationship with Wolverine is under explored."

Anybody else think they're talking about Gambit?

[rilokyle]

The only spinoff I'm interested in is a Bobby/Rogue movie (with absolutely no mention of Kitty of course). I'm thinking a little romantic comedy with some superhero stuff mixed in. Wolverine can make an appearance of couse. :p

[Affinity]

Kitty was soooo adorable though. Maybe Rogue can put her in a coma.

[kel25]

Hopefully we will also have a few other villians, Deadpool comes to mind.

Deadpool being in the movie is the only way they will make me want to see it in theaters. Otherwise I'll catch it on TV sometime.

Seriously does he need a movie? So far all the X-Men movies have been Wolverine movies co-starring the X-Men.:rolleyes:

[bloodyarts]

Honestly I would rather they just re-cast Sabertooth as Keifer Sutherland and make him pure CGI.

Tyler was a crap Sabertooth.

I agree wholeheartedly.

[THANOS/WOLVERINE]

Dude the fact is, sales do go up. You may not like, even hate it but its the truth.

[bounusball75]

Even if its not good, I'll still go see it and most of you will too.

[fishtaco]

Well, if Ratner is directing it, I'm only going to see it because I see every movie in theatres, because I get in for free. Ratner is an awful director imo, and X3 suffered because of his lack of talent and knowledge about the X-Men. I'm not going to say that the upcoming movie is going to be bad, but I don't expect much from it.

Now that Magneto movie? That sounds awesome. Hopefully Ratner will have nothing to do with it.

[Jake V]

I'll probably end up seeing it.

I mean, I enjoyed the last 3 Wolverine movies.

[Arrjay]

Tyler was a crap Sabertooth.

I am of the opinion that he would be crap in pretty much anything.

I mean, he's a U.S television wrestler.

[Prosthetic Head]

I betcha Tyler would've been a good Sabertooth if he looked more like he does in the comic instead of a greasy long haired biker with a godawful trench coat. Seriously. What was up with that? And if they gave him more than three lines. I wouldn't mind Tyler coming back as Sabertooth in the Wolveirne movie if they made him less like in X1 and more like the comics.

[chickrockguitar]

I'm actually looking foward to the Wolvie spin off. Not not so much the Mags one though...

Juggernaut in the Wolvie movie? Ugh... please... no...

[kudlaty_true]

The only spinoff I'm interested in is a Bobby/Rogue movie (with absolutely no mention of Kitty of course). I'm thinking a little romantic comedy with some superhero stuff mixed in. Wolverine can make an appearance of couse. :p
If you thinking a little romantic comedy with some superhero stuff mixed in, check out newest flick with Uma Thurman, "My super ex-girlfriend".
Heheh, of course this is no marvel, but you got what you wish for :P Here's the trailer.
My super ex (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/mysuperexgirlfriend/)

[PrimalScream]

wait so this will be the fourth wolverine movie then? oh wait I forgot those were the "x-men" movies. silly me....

[TrueBlue]

Hey, totally agree with the post that say Tyler sucked as Saberooth, but who would be your choice for Sabertooth? I think the stand out actor for me would be Ron Perlman, don't you think he would be an awesome badass Sabertooth? Lets not forget to he's already played a beast like Character in the rather forgettable Beauty and the Beast tv series! lol! (Man, that sucked a whole lot of ass!) Regardless of that painful memory i really think he good do a good job.
Another point i would like to make is that even though it would never happen i think Lincoln from Prison Break would be fantastic for the role of Wolverine. (sorry hugh!)
So if Hugh Jackman wasn't Wolverine who'd be your ideal replacement?

[Prosthetic Head]

Blasphemy! Hugh IS Wolverine. Other than being a little tall, Hugh is 100% perfect for Wolverine and I can't envision anyone else in the role. The best casting for a comic book movie yet. If this was made about 20 years ago, I would say Mel Gibson would have also been kick-ass Wolverine.

[kudlaty_true]

Hah! The best wolverine WAS Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Never have I saw better wolvie than him. http://uashome.alaska.edu/~jndfg20/website/shining2.gifThis picture doesn't quite show it, but whenever I watch The Shining, I see wolverine. Can't help it.
Hugh isn't wolverine. Well, maybe sometimes... but wolvie person shouldn't be all hollywoody'like handsom. He IS a beast. He friggin' hunt bears with his bear hands with claws. You see Hugh in this kind of scene? 'Cause I don't.

[Bishop_Proudstar]

Juggernaut?

Marvel Comics,

Please send, or e-mail some kind of "guide to Wolverine/X-Men" over to Fox and Jackman's and Ratner's homes in Los Angeles.

Get the correct villains/rivarly/history/storyline! I know that they have Vinnie Jones under contract, but that's more incentive to produce "X4" in 2 years.

My List of possibilities:
Sabertooth
Lady Deathstrike

One or both will return for "Wolverine".. It would be a good time to re-cast one or both of these roles..

Cyber
Omega Red
Deadpool
Tyger Tyger
X-23
Ogun
Viper (former wife)
Fantomex (who could be an ally as well)
Bloodscream?..and more Madripoor villains are possible..


Silver Fox, Puck, The Hudsons are possible allies.. Shadowcat or Jubilee could follow Wolverine from the Mansion at the beginning of the next film (since it won't be a prequel)

Wildchild? Alpha Flight? Maverick?

[Bishop_Proudstar]

A nice fat contract, and box office success says that Hugh is Wolverine (for life).

(If it was left up to some eccentric fans, there would be no Wolverine because the guys they wanted should've portrayed him in 1985.)

I thought Jackman was concerned about only being known for this role, and aging..

I saw him on a cover of a men's health magazine with the title:

"I'm in The Best Health of My Life!"

So, I guess that means that he feels he can portray Wolverine for a bit longer than he thought (and that he wants to be "Mr. Wolverine".)

If there is another 3 X-Men sequels in the next 7-9 years, I doubt that Jackman would be Wolverine in all of them.

[Fatguy]

Eh, though I generally enjoyed X3, Bret Ratner frightens me. I generally find him to be god awful, but I'm open minded...mostly.

[shaunyc56]

IMHO, all three X movies were told kinda like WOLVERINE ft the xmen, perspective anyway. So I think it would be good. Better than the Xmen movies because my mind won't be screaming "Why the hell aren't we getting enough Storm and Cyclops?"

[Citizen V]

I have a feeling that this movie might not do so well,Wolverine..doing a movie on his own?If there is no guest stars,then it might not really do well..

[scott_torino]

... Yeah. I saw those. He had a team of guys that would help him out right. Like some guys in gal in leather and they had a jet. I saw those movies... weren't they titled Wolverine and Friends 1-3. I think the movies were pretty Wolvie-centric, and I am one of the few unrepentant Wolverine fans left. Nowadays if you like Wolverine a lot of people think you're a simpleton.

[Prosthetic Head]

Hugh isn't wolverine. Well, maybe sometimes... but wolvie person shouldn't be all hollywoody'like handsom. He IS a beast. He friggin' hunt bears with his bear hands with claws. You see Hugh in this kind of scene? 'Cause I don't.Wolverine isn't hollywood handsome, but he does get a lot of ladies, so it is plausible that he would be attractive to women. And I totally see Hugh going all bezerk and killing a bear with his claws in a vicious fight. We just haven't seen that sort of scene in the xmen movies. But that glimpse of Hugh screaming and covered in blood with his claws extended at the end of x2 was awesome. Just give me more of that type of visceral punch in Wolverine's own movie and it will be great. Hugh IS Wolverine.

[Beast]

Dude the fact is, sales do go up. You may not like, even hate it but its the truth.
Actually, that's no longer the case anymore. Even Joe Quesada has said in interviews that there's no longer a signifigant sales increase by a Wolverine cameo anymore.

[Beast]

I betcha Tyler would've been a good Sabertooth if he looked more like he does in the comic instead of a greasy long haired biker with a godawful trench coat. Seriously. What was up with that? And if they gave him more than three lines. I wouldn't mind Tyler coming back as Sabertooth in the Wolveirne movie if they made him less like in X1 and more like the comics.
He looked pretty good to me. But then I prefer the 'Ultimate Sabretooth' version. :)

[Prosthetic Head]

I like the Ultimate Sabertooth version as well. But that look, I don't think, would really work in the movie. I don't like the long hair, or the arm bands. That just wouldn't work. At least he doesn't wear that trenchcoat. That still burns me up. I mean I loved X-Men, but that freakin' trenchcoat just was ridiculous. What the hell is he suppose to be in that thing? Dick Tracy? Raphael? Anyone get what I'm saying? Anyway, I am glad that Sabertooth is going to be in the movie. I really want to see his past with wolverine explored more. And please, please, please give me a truly vicious, visceral, blood fueled, knock-down, drag-out, straight up FIGHT between Wolverine and Sabertooth. One that is longer than 5 minutes and will make my eye's bulge. I hope that isn't too much to ask for.

[kudlaty_true]

Well, Hugh is Wolverine, but if they would search among not-so-celebrity actors, they would find way better. Uhm, Don't get me wrong, Hugh has his moments, such as - Prosthetic Head - you mention earlier, the end of X2, or my favourite two scenes.
1. All flashbacks from weapon X (every X-movie), and
2. One moment from X2, when soldiers are raiding the mansion, the one where he gets angry and stab some soldiers to fridge with his "AAAAAARGHHH!" (Geez, I love that moment)
As for a lot of ladies - Well, I'm more convinced that they 'should' be attracted to mystery, manhood (I don't how to put it - roughness? Toughness? sorry.), and his general attitude than his pretty face.
And as for the fight between Wolvie and Sabretooth, I want it, too, but the movie will be rated PG-13, so I wouldn't put my hopes up.

[bagheera]

Ahhhh, the appeal of Wolverine to the ladies..........is it that hard to understand?

He is strong, tough, in charge, confident and reeks of alpha male phermones. He does the right thing, takes care of his people and is loyal. When the chips are down, he is the man you want in your corner. He is all about substance and honor, not appearance and posturing.

In terms of his physical appearance, his hairiness speaks to the primal, animal-like appeal he exudes. Many women actually like hairy men. I myself can not stand this shaved-chest, hairless, overly-primped/preened look that has been the standard for media males in the last decade. Ugh.

His tortured soul aspect appeals to that nurturing side many women have, challenging/drawing them to him because they feel they can help his heal his past pains. "Stand by your man" is not just a country song.

It's been quite interesting reading Wolverine Origins, seeing the truly evil, dark deeds of his past. I anxiously await how this series plays out.

[Zombienorthstar]

To be honest im quite encouraged by Ratner taking the Wolvie film...its clear that his strength is action sequences rather than emotional plot stuff...so a Wolvie film makes more sense than him doing say 'Magneto' or 'X4'

I'd LOVE to see X-23. But that's just cos I'm biased. But, *sighs* she's way too new to make movie status...

[Prosthetic Head]

I think we really only need one or two main villians. Too many villains and side characters would weight the movie down. It really just needs to concentrate on the story and Wolverine's character. No Alpha Flight(maybe in a sequel) because this doesn't need to be another team-type movie. I know Sabertooth is back and that would be enough for me. Maybe Deathstrike and Stryker if it's a prequel type story. I don't mind if certain characters from the comics pop up here and there, I just don't want too many.

[KittyPryde]

I think that the Wolverine movie should be turned into the adaptation of the classic Kitty Pryde & Wolverine mini from all those years ago....

I'd rather see Ogun than Juggy....

[Legato]

Next thing you know, they'll copy Marvel's concept of putting Wolverine in every Marvel book by adding him to every movie. Because you know that when Wolverine is in it, sales go up.

I agree if that were to happen in some fantasy world but this is reality so it wont happen.

Since Jubilee hadn't did squat in any of the X-Men films I like to see her as Logan's sidekick in the movie.

With Sabertooth dead the only option left for Wolverines primary villain is Omega Red.

Makes me think if the movie does become a success then I wont be surprised if we see X-23 somewhare down the road.

[Bishop_Proudstar]

... Yeah. I saw those. He had a team of guys that would help him out right. Like some guys in gal in leather and they had a jet. I saw those movies... weren't they titled Wolverine and Friends 1-3.

Wolverine = $$$$.

Maybe some of the whiners can market the other X-characters for free.

These are same people that trashed the film because Singer left, but it was his choice to push Wolverine (along with Fox and Marvel).

I really believe that Cyclops would've played a larger role for "X3" had the actor not bolted for "Superman".

The average moviegoer loved all of the chracters.. Most them watched the 90's cartoon, and probably never picked-up a Wolverine book.

[Bishop_Proudstar]

Wolverine was a character that Magneto and Stryker felt would not ever join Xavier. Stryker probably designed him to kill Xavier. His story was that of someone who could've drifted to The Brotherhood, or to his own desires.. Now, he is standing in place of Xavier and Cyclops as a leader, father-figure, unselfish, and committed to the cause as they were.

Cyclops/Wolverine... Luke/Han Solo

It would be dumb for his to already be a background supporting member of The X-Men for the first 3 films.

This is not a Sci Fi Channel Series, or a 12-14 issue/year comic in which the rest of the team can be given equal spotlight time..

If there is an "X4" I'm not so sure if Jackman would be in it. Fox/Marvel rode the prizehor$e so that the franchise could survive to 3. I can't say that I blame them.

[Prosthetic Head]

With Sabertooth dead the only option left for Wolverines primary villain is Omega Red.
It's already been made pretty much official by the writer, and the studio that Sabertooth will definately be in the movie. He never did die in X-Men. That fall off the Statue of Liberty would hurt like all hell, but it wouldn't kill him. He heals just as fast as Wolverine. Even with Sabertooth in the movie as the main villain, I think it would be cool for Omega Red to be a secondary villain. All three have a history and if written right, it could be pretty interesting.

Good news. :D

In that case I would like for the Wolverine makers to do something about his character. Like make him more than just some mindless brute like he was in the first film.

[Prosthetic Head]

I think Hugh has stated that the script that is being written for the movie plays up more of Wolverine's history of honor and tradition moreso than what we've seen from the xmen movies thus far. And we're going to see more of the brutal darkside of his character as well. Making his transformation as a man of honor instead of a mindless beast all that more intriguing.

[Buckethead]

Honestly I would rather they just re-cast Sabertooth as Keifer Sutherland and make him pure CGI.

Tyler was a crap Sabertooth.


I agree, I was a little dissapointed in him in that role too. "Sid Viscious/Justice" the old wrestler I think would have even been better. Has the size and the ugly mug...:D

Sounds good.

I don't know if I would want the movie to be a prequel though, I just want to see 3 things: more berserker fury, a proper Sabertooth vs Wolverine fight and Japan (with a Silver Samurai fight tossed in).

[Prosthetic Head]

I just wanted to state that the script writer(David Benioff) has said he is writing Wolverine as an R rated movie. Not expecting the studio to actually give this movie anything but a PG-13. But at least he's writing Wolverine as he should be. He said he is definately going to "rough" Logan up a bit. Giving him the opportunity to show sides that the first three movies didn't afford the character. More scenes like Wolverine shoving his claws in the soldiers chest and roaring like in X2. He promised this movie will be "darker and more butal." He wants to get away from the "fantastical" elements associated with the X-Men films. He said "I'm sticking with something a bit more realistic." He's a tough, gritty character that has been through many brutal experiments and has been through hell and back. So at least the script isn't going far from that. When asked when this movie takes place, he couldn't elaborate but he did state that his two favorite story's are the Claremont/Miller Wolverine miniseries, and Barry Windsor's Weapon X. This all sounds like very good news to me and I am really excited to see how this all plays out.

[PrimalScream]

Hey, totally agree with the post that say Tyler sucked as Saberooth, but who would be your choice for Sabertooth? I think the stand out actor for me would be Ron Perlman, don't you think he would be an awesome badass Sabertooth? Lets not forget to he's already played a beast like Character in the rather forgettable Beauty and the Beast tv series! lol! (Man, that sucked a whole lot of ass!) Regardless of that painful memory i really think he good do a good job.
Another point i would like to make is that even though it would never happen i think Lincoln from Prison Break would be fantastic for the role of Wolverine. (sorry hugh!)
So if Hugh Jackman wasn't Wolverine who'd be your ideal replacement?

choice for sabretooth would be sawyer from lost! or the guy who played hellboy.
IF hugh wasn't wolverine I'd pick either ME-since I look like wolverine and im the same height as a fully grown man or the guy who played dracula in "dracula 2000"

[becominAfanAgain]

If you go by the comics, Creed died in the X2 prequels... sadly :(

Since when do Hollywood stick to what the comics do, beside Creed has died a number of times and came back. I think Creed should be in the Wolverine movie. The battle between them should be great nice and bloody. I also think that this movie should be worthy of the Comic and come out rated R to get the full effect of wolvie savageness.
