Re: The Wolverine - IN Production **SPOILERS**

[droverswoman]

That's what it looks like to me, Nevaeh - a gun shot maybe, cause there seems to be "blood" around it. :o

Here's a few more of those photos...









The garden is closed until Thursday, October 11th for filming. Hmmm, I wonder if everyone gets Friday, October 12th off to celebrate a certain someone's 44th birthday?

And is this his costume as Wolverine --



Certainly less colorful or fashion-forward compared to Yukio ( with her touches of red)

I am hoping to see Hugh in a kimono - with collar open to the waist !

And more shots from the same day. These ones are of Hughie....







I wonder what scene they're shooting?

[jo]

Have you read the source material ( aka graphic novel aka comic book) ?

It is hard to say because in most scenes, he is usually wearing his famous Wolverine costume ( sometimes with a mask), clothes for cold weather ( like a jacket) or a Japanese kimono.

In the scenes with Yukio, he is wearing his Wolvie costume or a jacket.

But I think they have adapted the script for a more cinematic look - so it is hard to tell.

Nevaeh, those photos of Hughie in the black suit!!

[jo]

Hugh's black suit is probably not today-modern ( look at the pants) so I assume the setting of the story is maybe two decades or even longer earlier. Although Viper's boot-shoes seem out of place -- I think they are very much the fashion these days? But she looks good with them

I just watched this video. The guy rambles a bit but he had some pix of Silver Samarai and he really likes Hugh as Wolverine so he has nice things to say. Enjoy!

A fan shares a photo of Hugh and his leading lady, Tao, who plays Mariko.



I am not surprised that they can recreate a Tokyo setting with some areas in Sydney ( Parramata) -- Tokyo is so modern-looking that one would think one got lost in the most modern part of Manhattan. I was quite disappointed as I was expecting something more exotic - LOL!

Have you noticed something about the color palette for this XMEN movie?

*Hugh in mostly black with a more modern hairstyle (with his natural dark brown hair)
*Tao ( Mariko) also in black, with black hair
*Rila (Yukio) in charcoal grey with strong slashes of red ( costume and hairstyle)
*Svetlana ( Viper) in glamorous black with something mettalic - but blonde hair

Maybe that will all contrast very beautifully with some exotic scenery from the Japan filming?

Sneak shots from filming -- Hugh rescuing his damsel in distress

www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/insider/hugh-jackmans-hair-raising-exploits-on-streets-of-parramatta-for-the-wolverine/story-e6frewt9-1226495031706

WESTERN Sydney got a taste of Hollywood yesterday as Hugh Jackman took to the streets of Parramatta to film the latest scenes of The Wolverine.

Secret photos snapped on set show the ripped Aussie flexing some serious muscle as he carries actress Tao Okamoto down the road in what appeared to be a rescue scene.

Jackman is reprising his role as Logan/Wolverine for the sixth time while Japanese model and actress Okamoto is portraying Mariko Yashida, the Silver Samurai's half-sister.

Onlookers described the scene unfolding yesterday as the classic "damsel in distress" moment.

With the pair being chased by a gunman, Jackman whisked Okamoto into his arms to escape.

Luckily for Jackman, Okamoto was attached to a harness and cable, making light work of carrying her as numerous takes were shot.

Fans can today catch a glimpse of Jackman with filming set to continue in Parramatta.

The western Sydney hub has been transformed into Tokyo for the filming of The Wolverine, which is due out next year.

Someone caught a little on film...

And I thought that I was the only one thinking that. I should have know better. Foolish me

Not Hugh. Apparently it's his stunt double. Good likeness though.

They had to use Hugh for the closeups though--hence the pic posted of him carrying the actress.

Wolvie -- Gangnam Style ;D
