It was back in January ahead of EFM that Hugh Jackman and actress Rebecca Ferguson (The Greatest Showman) were circled for roles in the forthcoming action sci-fi, Reminiscence. It was reportedly a hot package among buyers and thus, developments this week bring word that Warner Bros. has acquired global rights to the project with principal photography commencing around late October in New Orleans and Miami.
Additionally, the Blu-Ray will be made exclusively available to Walmart consumers, and with other ample special features to accomodate the Blu-Ray package. This, as reported by THR on Tuesday includes a nine-poster set commemorating actor Hugh Jackman’s 17 year span as the famed Marvel superhero (which piece together an official poster as seen in this video), as well as commentary from Mangold for the film as well as the Blu-Ray’s deleted scenes, and the behind-the-scenes documentary, Making Logan.
You don’t usually go into a superhero movie expecting an emotionally taxing experience, but all of the promotional marketing for Logan warned us leading up to its release to expect exactly that. In Logan, James Mangold’s follow up to his notable though flawed 2013 outing The Wolverine, we’re shown a senile Professor Charles Xavier devoid of dignity and his usual poise. We’re treated to an alcoholic, time-battered Wolverine. And we’re told a story based on a comic that stands out for its bleakness. But that’s the thing, many comic book fans don’t love them for their stories, they love them for their spectacle.
The film, which also casts Boyd Holbrook, Stephen E. Merchant, Eriq La Salle and Sir Patrick Stewart, opens on March 3 2017. View the poster below, and on the off-chance that you’ve been completely unaware of this film’s existence, watch a Red-band version of the first trailer in the player just beneath.
Logan, as it is, also sees the return of actor Patrick Stewart, along with actor Eriq La Salle, and actresses Elise Neal and Elizabeth Rodriguez. Actors Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant and Stephen Merchant round out the cast.
Sharlto Copley reunites with Blomkamp in a career that has seen our actor in many larger-than-life dimensions, even as his inherited role from Scott Bakula in the A-Team remake was shortlived. Time and again, the two prove consistently to be a formula that work, and Chappie certainly aims to do the same, featuring a stellar cast that includes Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel, Alien franchise star Sigourney Weaver and X-Men favorite Hugh Jackman, in addition to an assortment of deadly robots and awesome mech gear. Yes, this looks awesome.
As you might know, if you have been keeping up with the latest bits on X-Men: Days Of Future Past, Twentieth Century Fox is about to launch the X-Men X-Perience, a massive promotional campaign tour in select cities around the world to be hosted by a select handful of stars from the film. The campaign is being notably spearheaded by Hugh Jackman who reprises his role once again in this seventh installation of Marvel pseudo-immortal franchise character, Wolverine, whose off-screen demise may finally be met in the upcoming serial publication of “Death Of Wolverine” when it hits comic book store shelves this September.
For now, the character will live on through film as per the forthcoming release of X-Men: Days Of Future Past in theaters on May 23, 2014. And as such, Jackman decided to drop by the latest broadcast of WWE Raw, standing center ring with Dolph Ziggler who suddenly found themselves confronted by self-appointed “intellectual savior to the masses,” Damien Sandow in a homemade Magneto costume.
For those who don’t watch wrestling but are looking forward to a good laugh ahead of the film’s release, the skit is worth a look. You can check that out below as well as the latest Wolverine power video and a new TV spot featuring actress Jennifer Lawrence.
