That's what so refreshing with Hugh - he has the Aussie attitude of " I'll have a GO" all the time  Jo |

That video was really funny and you can hear Hugh's laughter all throughout the dance sequence!
He does love to dance - I think it comes not only from his musicality but also from his natural athleticism.
But I was pleasantly surprised by this feedback on one of the internet blogs about this dance partnership, gangnam style --

You forgot the musical that essentially put him on the map in the UK and America – Oklahoma.
He was one of the first Curly’s in years that actually did the dancing in the ballet/dream sequence of that production, as he was one of the first Curly’s that was adept enough to do the dancing required.
I’m not a big musical fan, and was coerced by a then-girlfriend to see the show at The Nation in Great Britain, but man that was one hulluva show.
I read later that the director, Trevor Nunn, actually had them ‘act’ their lines for close to a full month before letting them sing them. I have no trouble believing this, as it seemed so connected and well performed and one of the first musicals I had ever seen where I felt – songs or not – like I was watching real people and fully fledged characters. The songs seemed therefore to ‘belong’ rather than feel forced.<<<
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, it seems it was really Trevor Nunn who might have inspired the Hooper realism-based take for Les Miserables. Not surprising, given Nunn's connection with the stage musical!

Hugh did tweet about the dance encounter -- >>>Hugh Jackmanþ@RealHughJackman
Slicing gangnam style!!!! Great to meet @psy_oppa who visited set yesterday. pic.twitter.com/xMuFFhSG<<< In the video, he was shown dancing in an obvious Japanese house with shoji screens -- I wonder why he was wearing those kind of striped loose-fitting pants? Are those Japanese pants for activities like judo, ninja fighting, or whatever?? Or maybe he is shown, without a shirt, but just those pants ( maybe he was wearing pj's) - LOL! Jo |

Thanks for posting all the pics all of you!! I cannot wait to see this film in the theatres!! He does indeed look smashing in that all black suit. I am not all that familiar with the Wolverine backstory, so this will be interesting.

So this is how Hugh learned to dance with his claws on -- au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/access-all-areas/a/-/15144151>>>Following his X Factor appearance, Psy went next door to the Wolverine set in Fox Studios (where the Seven show is filmed) at the request of Hugh Jackman.
The Aussie actor, who is currently filming for the upcoming movie, and his children were keen to meet Psy and even received a private lesson on how to dance Gangnam Style...<<<Jo |

"Bird's eye view" of some action in The Chinese Garden from someone who lives in an apartment across the way in Sydney. If Hugh's in there somewhere I can't spot him. It starts with a "pan" of the area, so it was fun for me to try to pick out a couple of landmarks from my 2006 TBFO trip. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoSPkT6cOT8 |

Even in the original comic book source of the Japanese saga ( Claremont/Miller) there is no sign of Jean Grey when Logan invited his XMEN friends to his wedding to Mariko. It was another woman who was with Cyclops (although someone noted a little similarity to Jean).
So, maybe not?
Famke has other films in her bio-data? Could she be part of another film being made in Sydney?

I am excited but I do not know if I am up to it to join a live chat - competing with so many fanboys and fangirls.
I have joined only one or two live chats before -- a Ferrari chat with world champion Michael Schumacher.
Yikes!! I could hardly get into the chat room :o...When I did, we had to wait for sometime...when someone finally noticed that Schumacher was inside the chat room, we all got mummified and couldn't say anything. He had to say "Any Questions??" before everyone started typing " We love you, Michael!!!" from every fanboy and fangirl - LOL!
The page was resolving so fast that I thought my eyes would fall off trying to read the page...and I thought my fingers would get disconnected from my hand as I tried to type in my question as fast as I could, while not trying to miss any of his responses. What an experience - terrifying but wonderful, amazing experience :o ;D... Did I get any of my questions answered - Of course! The chats were a series over a few weeks ...and I think I was able to get responses from him for about 5-6 questions.
There is an art on how to ask the right questions -- which I think will be true for this podcast for The Wolverine!!
Hope we can at least read the transcript, if we cannot follow the actual chat!

Still no official confirmation about a Jean Grey cameo but some sites continue to speculate about the possibility, saying that THE WOLVERINE may not necessarily take place after XMEN 2/3, when Jean was supposed to have been killed.
Maybe it is one of the more interesting questions that can be asked during the live chat??
