It looks like the LOGAN trailer has created a bit of a fad --

. Iron Man got the Logan trailer treatment, and it’s incredibly heartbreaking.

I have seen a few others recently but did not take note enough to post some of them. But it seems the emotional impact of the LOGAN trailer has moved many others to see if the same could work with previous trailers or assemblage of scenes. First, they redid it with XMen2, then an assemblage of XMen movies, then Jackman XMen movies...and then I started seeing it applied to other superhero movies.

If the trailer for Logan didn’t tear at your heart, then there are few things that can. The slow footage paired beautifully with Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt” a la Nine Inch Nails, and Hugh Jackman’s brief performance was enough to send fans into a fit. The anticipated trailer has since spawned off dozens of copycats from fans of other franchises, and it seems like one DC Films fanboy has given the Logan treatment to Gotham’s own vigilante, Batman...

And there was even a LAST OF US copy inspired by HURT --

It seems the emotional reaction people experienced watching the LOGAN trailer was refreshing...and inspiring!

Now the LOGAN treatment has also been used for a film about car racing, CARS3

For now, they can enjoy this ridiculous - yet strangely apt - mash-up, colliding Cars 3 with Logan in a terribly awesome (or awesomely terrible?) way.

LOL! I saw the first CARS movie because Ferrari champion Michael Schumacher was briefly featured

The LOGAN trailer has really moved into pop culture

[jo]

And yet another LOGAN trailer theme and music mash-up

This time, for Captain America!

comicbook.com/marvel/2016/11/22/captain-america-gets-a-logan-style-trailer/

Ever since 20th Century Fox gifted fans with a trailer for the final Wolverine film, it’s been an Internet sensation. The trailer for Logan is soft yet gritty look into Wolverine’s final years, and it boasts a touching soundtrack thanks to Johnny Cash. The country icon’s cover of “Hurt” is featured in the trailer, and now, someone has taken that song and used it to give Captain America the Logan treatment.

[jo]

This is crazy -- now it's Wonder Woman who gets the LOGAN trailer treatment

What exactly is it about Johnny Cash's rendition of the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt that seems to make every single movie trailer so much more emotional yet beautiful?

ComicBook.com's own Megan Peters explains why the song is so perfect for Hugh Jackman's final Wolverine film Logan:

"Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” works so well with Logan because the song is one that looks back on an old man’s life and reminisces about his past. In the trailer for Logan, Hugh Jackman is noticeably aged to suit the film’s somber tone."

At this point, you could probably take the most joyful film of all time, recut it against Johnny Cash's powerful voice and lyrics, and turn anyone who watches it into a pile of mush.

Johnny Cash's son John Carter Cash was on a morning TV news show showing some memorabilia from his late dad. As they cut to a commercial, Cash's cover of -- what else? -- "Hurt" was heard. The song is feeding publicity for LOGAN and vice-versa.

HURT, the way Johnny Cash sang it, is a powerfully emotional song. And it fitted the theme of LOGAN perfectly -- not too sure though that it is really working all that well with all the other faux-LOGANish re-interpretations of other trailers/assembled scenes. But it is certainly putting the forthcoming LOGAN movie into the cultural consciousness. No complaints here

It is probably not just coincidence that it was chosen for the LOGAN trailer. Jim Mangold did create the biopic of Johnny Cash and probably understood his message more than most people. Mangold also said he worked on the trailer with the marketing people shot by shot -- so his melding of his LOGAN work and the music which underlie Johnny Cash's life (in WALK THE LINE) reached that happy place of perfect fit!

PS: I have wondered how Hugh Jackman would interpret the song HURT. Have you?
In a way, it reminded me of that song retrospective in THE BOY FROM OZ called ALL THE LIVES. And Hugh can sing a ballad just as soulfully in an intimate place ( not the stage).

An exclusive photo of Wolverine in LOGAN, from EMPIRE --

Logan: exclusive new look at Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine

The new issue of Empire arrives on Thursday, and as usual comes packed with a heaving bounty of filmic treasures. It's hard to pick a highlight, but leading up this month’s Preview section is this rather striking image of Hugh Jackman as iconic X-Man Wolverine, carrying the girl known as Laura/X-23 (Dafne Keane) during Wolverine's swansong movie Logan. Click here to enlarge.

This is a very different Wolverine to the one we’re used to: greying, bearded, covered in scars...after nine films and 17 years in the role, Jackman is clearly not interested in going out with a whimper. Director James Mangold told us that he hoped to focus on the fast-healing mutant’s vulnerable side. “The goal was to make something human,” says Mangold. “We made an effort to scale back on the gloss and greenscreen.”

This chimes with what we saw from page 2 of Logan’s script, in which Mangold wrote: “if you’re on the make for a hyper choreographed, gravity defying, city-block destroying CG fuckathon, this ain’t your movie.”

Jackman agrees with the sentiment. "It's essential you see this as the story of a man who is struggling with mortality and legacy," the actor tells us, "and whether the world has been better off with him or without him."
For more on Logan, including another exclusive on-set image of Jackman and Patrick Stewart, be sure to pick up a copy of Empire, on sale from Thursday 24 November.

Subscribers will already have started receiving their copies, of course. Fancy getting the world’s biggest movie magazine before everybody else, with exclusive covers to boot? You’ll want to subscribe to Empire.

Another dramatic and almost poignant scene as Logan seems to have rescued Laura from captivity. Their tale is very intriguing but suggests a sad evolution at this point in Logan's life.

I hope the ending is a little more hopeful, even if Logan has to face his own mortality!

[jo]

He is a great actor!

A little blurry --

It looks like that blurry image of Logan and Prof X was taken from the exclusives from EMPIRE --





Er...I need Superman's eyes

[jo]

It looks like the Hugh and Patrick photo is not from the movie but a photo taken on set by James Mangold --




That was why I thought Logan/Wolverine was uncommonly solicitous to Prof X in the photo still -- it seemed more like a gracious Hugh Jackman asking Patrick Stewart if he was doing alright

I could be wrong though ... and maybe that is really part of LOGAN

Latest Official Color Image From LOGAN Puts The Spotlight On Wolverine And Professor X

Earlier this week, we got the first official colour image from Logan, but now another has followed which shows Wolverine attempting to help Professor Charles Xavier as he seemingly starts losing control.



It's been clear for a while now that Logan will be unlike any other 2017 superhero movie, with the focus put on the relationships between the characters perhaps a little more than CG heavy action scenes. That's perhaps evident from the latest colour images from the movie as we see Wolverine attempting to look after Charles Xavier, and the psychic definitely doesn't look like he's doing well. 

Director James Mangold doesn't shed any light on their dynamic in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, but he did have plenty of praise for both his leading man and newcomer Dafne Keane. "If anyone could steal a movie from Hugh Jackman, it would be Dafne. She carries, all the time, a slight strangeness. I could never have gotten this done without Hugh. You're going to see him doing some of the best work I've ever seen him do." The whole thing just keeps sounding better and better, right?

Logan stars Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen, Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant, and Patrick Stewart. It's currently set to be released on March 3rd, 2017, so stick to CBM for updates. 

Tom Hooper said it once : " I would not have done Les Miserables if Hugh Jackman did not exist!".  It's James Mangold's turn now to praise our Hugh!  

[jo]

This is from the first XMen movie --




There was emphasis on the mentor relationship with Prof X...and a bit of filial relationship with young Rogue.


Will this theme be repeated in the final Jackman/Wolverine movie called LOGAN?

[Deleted]

Now I want to see if the "Nerds Brat Pack Never Satisfied" will complain with the usual tedious tirades. In fact, he seems to come straight from the original comic pages.

This is interesting -- a new poster at IMDB on the LOGAN Page has given a few comments, based on what he said is an early cut of the movie that he has seen. These are his posts on IMDB to-date :

  Which plot? I've seen a cut of the movie.


amormortua
I meant the whole storyline. It's been published on reddit two months ago.


oldermanlogan
This one?

If so, that's fake."

Also by the same poster --

SPOILER: Click to show

"The main villains are Dr. Rice and Pierce, as well as a perfect clone of Wolverine they use for muscle. No Mr. Sinister in the movie"

SPOILER: Click to show

I mean what the hell would have caused the mutants to die out if even Apocalypse could do nothing to cause humans to hate mutants again.

Mutants weren't wiped out by humans. A tragic accident led to their near-extinction, while something else is responsible for them not being born anymore.

SPOILER: Click to show

This is not how the movie ends.

There is no time travel. Outside of the cloning element with Laura and X-24, it's a really down to earth movie. No other "real" mutants than Logan, Charles, and Calaban. No last minute saves. No reset button.

For whatever it's worth!

Assuming he really had a chance to see an early cut !

SPOILER: Click to show

The one big surprise is the supposed Wolverine clone, known as X-24!

Are we going to see two of Hugh

Another Root...but this time, the double will be a villain, according to the IMDB poster
