Our favorite X-Men member Logan AKA Wolverine is actually in X-Men: First Class.
Hugh Jackman reprised his role as the cigar-chomping, hard drinking mutant with the adamantium-clad skeleton and claws.
SPOILER ALERT: Proceed with caution.
Star Trek, the nth movie installment from the seminal Star Trek franchise has overtaken X-Men Origins: Wolverine as the number one film today by raking in $72.5 million on its opening weekend. Based on the film trailers I’ve seen, this one looks awesome. Parang Star Wars meets Transformers ang dating sa ganda ng trailer.
But the one thing that really caught my interest is the actor playing Mr. Spock. It’s Zachary Quinto! Yes, it’s super villain Sylar himself from the TV series Heroes. I’m a big fan of the series and in fact have already watched all episodes except that of Season 3 Volume 4. Pag may pirated DVD na nun, bibili ako, hehehe… Anyway, he is so despicable in TV that it’s refreshing to see him play a new role in the movies. It also happened that this is first movie role.
In a recent Got Milk? print advertising campaign, the mutant Wolverine (portrayed by Hugh Jackman) is featured showing off his adamantium-covered claws with a milk mustache.
Wolverine is portrayed in the comic books and movies as a chain-smoking, aggressive tough guy that’s why I find the ad ironic. An advertisement for Marlboro or Budweiser fits him better. But well, that helped built up the hype for the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie even more so it’s definitely good for them.
Wolverine is not the first superhero to be featured in a Got Milk? advertisement. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Hulk and the Fantastic Four have worn a milk mustache too. Scroll down for their spots.
When I reported to the office this afternoon after a week of field work, I saw Ian holding a pirated DVD copy of the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie. I immediately commented that it was an unfinished copy leaked to the internet. He mentioned that’s why there are sequences in the film where the characters and background have no special effects yet. It looks rough too.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is set to open here in the Philippines on April 30. The movie is a prequel to the X-Men Trilogy. Meaning, the events in this movie are set way back before Logan became Wolverine. Hugh Jackman reprises his role as the mutant with adamantium-coated bones and claws. Judging from the success of the previous three films, this is another blockbuster in the making. The movie leakage will not prevent it from doing so.
