Not at this time, but working on it, Roxy! No one had a gauge (until now) how much interest there would be to see LOGAN theatrically in B&W.

Maybe he is talking to the film distribution of FOX to find a way ?


I have a feeling that they will find a way to please the disappointed fandom

James Mangold says there is something beautiful and gripping in many ways in the Black and White version of the film.

Does this series of black-and-white images based on the film and/or captured by Mangold on his own camera gives us an inkling on what to expect -- do click on " Load More" to get the complete series.

Whoa -- it is not just the melancholy film noir vibe... it seems like there is something almost sinister about the story itself judging from these stark imagery!

@mang0ld Will there be only one blu-ray release for @wolverinemovie, and not some secondary special re-release release a few months later?

There's no cuts hidden away for later & the masters r state of art. There is nothing planned for down the road.

One Easter Egg revealed from the BluRay Disc ( not sure if the same features are on the DVD) --

Logan Deleted Scene Reveals Sabretooth Easter Egg
By Alex Leadbeater




A newly revealed deleted scene from Logan contains a Sabretooth easter egg and X-Men Origins: Wolverine reference. One of the most striking things about Logan was how, despite rounding off Hugh Jackman’s seventeen-year run playing Wolverine, it was mostly disconnected from the increasingly complicated X-Men timeline. James Mangold’s comic book western was set in the year 2029, further forward than any other film in the franchise, and told its own story that ended Jackman’s tenure perfectly.

There were still some references in there though – to the Statue of Liberty fight in X-Men or a glimpse of Logan’s Alkali Lake dog tags – and James Howlett’s superheroic past was further contextualized in the barren dystopia by merchandise; in-universe the X-Men had inspired comic books (that by his own admission only told a quarter of the truth) and action figures, which one child held at his funeral. It now appears that this element was originally a little more involved.


Ahead of Logan‘s release on DVD and Blu-Ray, several deleted scenes for the film have been revealed, including one with a Sabretooth reference. Bobby, one of the child mutants escaped from Xander Rice’s facility, goes up to a sleeping Logan and asks whether Victor Creed, who he’s holding an action figure for, was real. Logan then recounts the events of Origins: Wolverine where the pair (in that movie brothers) were experimented on and used as weapons. You can watch the scene in the embedded video above.





Origins: Wolverine is still widely regarded as the worst X-Men film, so to see it so affectionately used as backing for Logan’s arc is impressive; Bobby points out that regardless of his past Wolverine is doing good now, something that ties directly into the film’s discussion on murder and what it does to a person. It’s also worth noting that Bobby is the child holding the figure at the funeral, adding an extra layer of sadness to an already tear-jerking scene.

Sabretooth was actually at one point meant to appear in the flesh. Actor Liev Schreiber, who played Victor in Origins, was reportedly approached to return, but his schedule and the movie’s eventual direction meant he couldn’t star. This appears to be a way for Jackman and Mangold to still bring in that element in the face of real-world issues.

The scene was likely cut due to it not having much direct relevance to the plot or the central relationship between Logan and Laura, but also possibly because the Sabretooth reference was so on-the-nose; at this point in the film we’re barely even in the superhero genre anymore so such a throwback could be too much. Thankfully we still got to see it now.

It looks like most, if not all, of the deleted scenes have already been uploaded --

Hugh's acting in some of the deleted scenes is really impressive - subtle but very poignant and heart-tugging! Too bad those acting moments will not be viewed by the awards community!

He just corrected his message --

He used the cover for the complete release package ( which may have also misled him) -- that was why it confused a lot of people.

Now he posts " DIGITAL HD. Get it. Tomorrow."

It seems that Japanese fans are a little anxious that the BluRay/etc will be released even before the movie is released in Japan ( June 1). Maybe the Japanese distributor should rethink their policy of late releases because a new development in the film industry is earlier releases of home video products mainly partly because of emerging competition from Netflix and Amazon and to address issues of piracy.

Also, piracy seems to be still rampant -- too many Twitter posts gloating about seeing the movie in full from unofficial sites *rolleye*

Reposting this from the LOGAN( Spoiler) thread --

Was LOGAN NOIR part of the Digital HD version released today ( May 16, 2017). They must have started watching it at past 12:00 midnight ( technically, already May 16)!

It would be interesting if an occasional review of LOGAN NOIR comes out!

Maybe this is one of the major reasons why major blockbusters are now rushing their home video versions? Beauty and the Beast will also be released in a similar manner to LOGAN ( released while still in cinemas). It is really much worse for un-released movies getting ready for their opening dates! That happened with Origins:Wolverine but that was mostly for a prank/an annoyance, although of course it robbed FOX of potential actual audiences ... in this case ( for the next Pirates of the Carribean sequel) it is holding the studio for ransom!

I have posted one or two articles on this major issue in the thread on UNDERSTANDING THE FILM BUSINESS among non-Hugh Jackman topics.
