Hugh Jackman Films ‘Wolverine 3’ Scenes with Patrick Stewart!


Just Jared writes:

Hugh Jackman pushes his co-star Patrick Stewart in a wheelchair while filming scenes for the upcoming third Wolverine movie on Thursday (June 9) in New Orleans, La.

The 47-year-old actor is reprising his role as Logan/Wolverine while Patrick is making a special appearance as Charles Xavier/Professor X in the film.

In the scene they shot, the actors rushed out of a casino and into a truck.

Filming shots from WOLVERINE 3 -- very intriguing!!

[jo]

Some fans think ( or hope ) that this is Old Man Logan, Prof Xavier, and young X-23 !

[jo]

Much speculation on message boards and film sites as to whether the young girl with Hugh is a young X-23!



I do remember the casting call for children in her age and height range.

A casting call from Central Casting is looking for stand-ins and photo doubles on "Juarez," the code name for the as-yet-unnamed Wolverine 3. The film is reportedly Hugh Jackman's last time putting on the claws for the X-Men movie universe.

The stand-ins needed are shorter "Caucasian, Hispanic and Asian looking females over the age of 21," specifically at a height of 4'-4'11" and size 0-4 with dark brown hair.

Likewise, photo doubles for the same, "Caucasian, Hispanic, and Asian-looking females" but this time children, age 6-13, at a similar height of 4'2"-4'5" and also with dark brown hair.

More new pics from the set, some indicating the tension in the scene --

Am I wrong, but it seems to me that the setting is present time? The clothes and the truck suggest that this part of the story is not well into the future.

The young girl was obviously being asked by Logan to stay put...but she rushes out, too, carrying her bag



Hmmm... why am I getting the same level of excitement as when I first saw the first set of pictures during the filming of Les Miserables -- the scene in the courtyard, as Valjean winds up singing THE SOLILOQUY. No similarities at all, just the same vibe of excitement

Rumoured casting breakdown reportedly confirms X-23 for Wolverine 3

June 11, 2016 by Gary Collinson —0 Comments


Yesterday we brought you some new set photos from the as-yet-untitled Wolverine 3 featuring Hugh Jackman’s Logan and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X [see here], and now thanks to The Hashtag Show we have a rumoured casting breakdown for the character of X-23, which reportedly confirms the earlier rumour suggesting the Wolverine clone is set to appear in the new movie.



"20th Century Fox are seeking a a 11 – 14 year old girl to play the role of Zoe in a brand new movie!! [ZOE] 11 to 14 year-old girl. Still a child, but a wounded badass, a pound puppy, raised in captivity in a time of battle, without support systems of normal childhood.

She has no family and until now, has never left the compound in which she was born. She has an authentic intensity – her expressions and body language speak volumes, without words. Once released in the outside world, everything is new – every experience and every image a first. This does not mean everything is wonderful or wondrous. Some things she sees (things we might regard as conventional) may scare her or anger her and things we may find interesting may bore her. She has not been instructed in many social conventions – she can eat like an animal. She studies and often mimics people’s behavior. She has a high IQ, but is also a temperamental, impulsive and feral creature that can raise genuine mayhem. She is a girl that has never been kissed. Looking for a REAL girl – not made up or done up. Also with genuine edge, not made up or put on. Martial arts or gymnastics experience preferred but not necessary – but actress must be extremely physical and able to improvise scenes without necessarily resorting to speech. Do NOT play it ‘cute.'...

Did he fool us

But I have been wondering why in the latter set photos why his hairline above his forehead seems to have a very defined widow's peak. He has a bit of it, but not as sharp as in recent set photos --





Could he have been wearing a wig that was closely modelled after his own hair ?? Unless his longer hair was dipping down his forehead?




If this is so --

I wonder why he went this route? Why not shoot with his regular hair...and then shoot with cropped hair ( Old Man Logan-like) later? Unless they shot the OLdManLogan scenes early, for whatever reason.

Is truly a puzzlement

[jo]

Is this his way of telling XMen fans that the movie will be inspired or loosely adapted from OLD MAN LOGAN ?


It is a very broad hint -- without his telling the fans directly what everyone wants to know. Maybe their marketing people are asking the people involved to keep mum about the whole project.

[jo]

Note the blood on their knuckles --

*R-rated scenes
*Confirms that the young girl will likely be X-23?

The one with th widow's peak is a wig!

Nancy

[ruby]

Someone needs to look up the true visual definition of a widows peak. none of these picture, real buzz cut or set wig meets the criteria .

[jo]

LOL - whatever

He is sporting 2 different looks - one with normal hair and one with not much hair...

Old Man Logan or not ??

To be or not to be


Jo

[jo]

Someone has written that the project is "tracking very well".

He must be referring to the media (main and social) buzz (almost of frenzy proportion) -- and a lot of wondering minds -- that is now following what the project's main storyline is all about and what characters are going to share the screen with Wolverine. The title has been the source of a lot of speculation, too. Weapon X, Old Man Logan, The Death of Wolverine   

The only official source has been Kinberg saying that " it happens in the future...it will be different...rad...with a western tone...rated R".

But I have wondered how some official-looking and fairly clear photos of what is happening on the set have come out. Presumably, set filming ( unless it was completely outside and open to view) is well-guarded. Someone snapped not one or two but a series of very clear photos. Was this actually an allowed leak? To whet fanboy and Jackman fangirl appetites?

If as one film media source is true, the first official confirmation might happen at the San Diego Comic Con, Hall E ( sometime in July), if Fox decides to present its upcoming slate there! Presumably by that time, Hugh and the whole project might already be in nearby New Mexico ?

One XMen fanboy on the Apocalypse board asked a few days ago : "Shouldn't we already be moving to the Wolverine 3/Untitled Wolverine sequel Board ??"

LOL!

Come to think of it -- the movie is only 8  3/4  months away from its March 3 release date ... more or less

Here's one of the "2-cents worth" --

www.latino-review.com/news/title-for-hugh-jackmans-final-wolverine-movie-revealed-and-more

Early next year, when we get to watch Hugh Jackman and James Mangold's next collaboration on a WOLVERINE film, it'll be Jackman's last hurrah. As such, the story they've chosen to explore for the 47 year old actor's final ride as Wolverine is one that pulls from the classic "Old Man Logan" story arc. That's what makes today's news so interesting. The title of the film, which will be the third solo outing for the character, has been revealed and it doesn't pertain at all to the idea of an older Logan. On the contrary, the film's title indicates that we'll have a lead character who is very much looking to his past in order to make sense of his future.According to a reputable X-Men Films fan site, Fox will call the next film WOLVERINE: WEAPON X, or simply WEAPON X.This may seem peculiar to some, as "Weapon X" refers to the government project that turned coated Logan's skeleton with adamantium and- effectively- turned him into the Wolverine we all know and love. It's a period in the character's life that has been explored in X2, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, as well as the recently-released X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. So why would the next film, which is set in the future and features an older, grizzled Logan, be named WOLVERINE: WEAPON X?

My guess is that the film will be a slightly more contemplative affair than we're a used to. More of a character study, if you will. There've been comparisons drawn between Old Man Logan and the Clint Eastwood western UNFORGIVEN. In that film, Eastwood played an old gunslinger who'd hung up his guns. He was no longer the dangerous man he'd become known as, and was trying to live a quiet life until circumstances would arise that made him get back on the horse and go into battle one last time.

This title makes me wonder if we're going to see an emotionally-scarred Logan, now much older, having lived most of his life as...a weapon. He's spent years trying to undo the psychological trauma of all of the pain that he's experienced, and the beatings he's doled out. He's worn out, ragged, and at the end of his rope. He knows that William Stryker and the Weapon X program are partially to blame, but so is his berserker rage that he must keep in check. So in this next film, we may very well see a broken down old Logan tormented by the ghosts of his past, trying to live a life of peace, before he has to accept his fate and become a weapon once more. This is all just my own speculation, of course, and I think it'd make for a compelling movie. One that I think Mangold is capable of creating if he brings his 3:10 TO YUMA hat with him to work. That film, starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, managed to tell a very exciting, engaging western tale of revenge, unholy alliances, and gritty violence while never losing its character-driven focus.[


WOLVERINE: WEAPON X comes out on March 2, 2017.

Interesting that another film site looks at another angle --

20th Century Fox scoops up domain names for possible Wolverine 3 titles

by: Sean Wist



Hugh Jackman Wolverine

Our first look from the set of the WOLVERINE 3 brought us a very beard-y Hugh Jackman in what looks to be a kind of riff on Mark Millar's Old Man Logan storyline. As you can imagine, that wouldn't exactly make for the most exciting of titles, so 20th Century Fox has picked up a few domain names that might suggest the direction they're headed. The first is www.thedeathoflogan.com, with the second being www.wolverineweaponx.com. Now, it's not unusual for several domains to be picked up before a film comes out, so it's entirely possible that neither of these will make up the title for Jackman's last hurrah, but the latter certainly seems likely. As an added bonus you can also see some new pictures of Patrick Stewart on-set with Hugh Jackman, looking equally beard-y!



Hugh Jackman Wolverine Patrick Stewart Prof. X Hugh Jackman Wolverine Patrick Stewart Prof. X



Director James Mangold did a hell of a job with 2/3 of THE WOLVERINE, so I'm hoping he has a really great story on his hands for what's being touted as Jackman's last portrayal of the character. I mean, it couldn't be any worse than ORIGINS, right? In any case, it's great to see Jackman back in the role he was born to play. Just in case you weren't quite sure how ripped Weapon X will be in this film, Jackman was also goodly enough to throw up the following pic on his Twitter account. Time to go berserker, baby!





The as of now UNTITLED WOLVERINE SEQUEL is scheduled to hit theaters on March 3, 2017.

He missed the broad hint in the gym photo of Hugh (posted by Hugh, as he himself wanted to give us a hint of the forthcoming film) -- the hair is now close-cropped! He is looking more like Old Man Logan now, without all the grey in the hair

He also missed on the possibility of a young X-23 being introduced in the movie. Just a look at the knuckles of Wolverine and the knuckles of the young girl, with both showing traces of blood will have given him another insight. Some of the comments pointed out the young girl character to him.

Let me relate the above excerpts to these notes from a screenwriting site called SCRIPTSHADOW, run by Carson Reeves --

Here’s the thing, though. I see this as good news. When investors watch the stock market crash, they don’t see the end of civilization. They see opportunity. Buying prime-time well-performing stocks for rock-bottom prices? Sounds like good news to me. Screenwriters should feel the same way. When the sky is falling, it means Hollywood needs new product. It’s your chance to offer them something fresh and new. You are the only people who can save this industry!


It won’t be easy though. Even when we see writers try something different (Hail Caesar, The Nice Guys, Keanu, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), audiences aren’t buying. It almost begs the question, “Is Hollywood right?” Sure, these sequels have been tanking, but they’re still doing better than these films! Of course, maybe these films just aren’t appealing enough. Different does not automatically equal better.


The solution may reside in the year’s biggest surprise hit: Deadpool. At first glance, Deadpool’s success seems useless to the amateur screenwriter. Aspiring writers aren’t allowed to adapt superhero properties.

But there is something to be said for deconstructing a genre. And doing so is often the mother of invention. Remember that Bourne was a deconstruction of Bond. Silver Linings Playbook was a deconstruction of romanic comedies. Find a popular movie type that you enjoy and see if there’s a way to deconstruct it. Even if it’s just a tonal shift.


Another lesson from Deadpool is this idea of taking a big genre, adding a new spin to it, then shrinking it down into a manageable budget so that studios don't have to bet the farm on it. That increases its sale potential. How do you do this? By flipping the ratio of action to character development. Most franchises go with a 60-40 ratio of action to character development. Flip it like Deadpool. That movie comes closer to a 40-60 ratio of action to character development.


That’s how The Matrix got made too. It was originally a 120 million dollar movie that sliced the budget in half by focusing more on the transformation of Neo as a character and less on set pieces. The original draft famously had a scene where we went down into the city of Zion that was replaced by a scene where Neo visited a woman in her apartment (lo and behold, that scene was all about character development).

So don’t always write big. Write smart!

*I am hoping, given what the above article from Latino Review suggests as what they see as the possible plot development of WOLVERINE 3 -- that it will be more contemplative, more of a character study, that follows the template suggested by Scriptshadow for a more interesting storyline.

*The main complaint with THE WOLVERINE, which was generally well-received, was the third act which became a protracted CGI-infested action series of sequences. As Scriptshadow suggests, a reduction in the action component may work better.

*Apocalypse unfortunately has not been well-received ( Rotten Tomatoes at 48%) and box office results are below expectations by a significant amount. Many of the complaints relate to the excessive disaster theme and that hardly any character development was allowed to flourish for many of the characters.


Food for thought!

Aside from the fact that I look like a swamp rat... That's Mr. Hugh Jackman. #Wolverine #stillfreakingout

It looks like there might have been more women than men in this Lousiana gym today.

Hugh is very accommodating

This is confusing -- this was supposed to have been taken on Wednesday ( after he posted the gym photo with shorn hair)
