    MTV had an interview with Hugh " Wolverine" Jackman recently, and he let everyone know a little more information on the upcoming sequel to Wolverine, which starts shooting in January of 2011.

     "At least part of it [will be filmed in Japan]," he told MTV News. "You know how these things work. We may not be able to do all of it in Japan, but definitely a lot of it." 

    The film is inspired by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's runs on Wolverine, in which Wolverine heads to Japan, falls in love with a lovely lady, and gets into a beef with a Japanese criminal. No news yet on how long they plan on shooting, or how much of this upcoming film will be shot in Japan, but one question that did pop up, will this film be in 3D?

     Jackman simply responded, "Don't know — but that's a good question."

    I sincerely hope not. 3D is not necessary  for this film. Let's just focus on the story and not things popping out at the audience... Please? 
     
    As for shooting in Japan, I think it's a necessary element for the film. I'm hoping to see some beautiful Japanese landscape. Maybe some Mt Fuji action in the background. Hopefully, we'll get some cool fight scenes in Tokyo. The action is what's going to make or break this film. There is a great story already there, but if the action is too over-the-top or unrealistic, a lot of people (including myself) will not be too happy.
     
    With the shooting starting in January, what do you hope to see come out of this film? What aspects of Japan should be in the film?

    ANyone know if the same director is handling this? Gavin Hood? If that's the case, then I think I might just save my money...as much as it pains me. That guy had no clue had to film an action movie.

    This sounds promising. I just hope that Cyclops comes back. I like James Marsters but that kid from the Wolverine film wasn't brilliant. 
    I also hope Sabretooth returns, Liev Schreiber was fantastic as him. If he appears, I'd like to see if they'll explain how he joins Magneto's Brotherhood.

    Really hope they have Ken Wantanabe play Silver Samurai like they talked about in the first one. Silver Samurai was one of my favorite characters as a kid, if they pull off his armor, not necessarily like the comic, but still close to it, I'll definitely be happy.

    O.K.  This MIGHT grab my interest only because of the Japan storyline which I truly love as part of Wolvie's background.  I'm so with you regarding the 3D thing, don't do it.  Oy.   
     
    I've noticed in a number of posts there are pictures with captions underneath.  Are CV users doing this or is it someone else?   If it's a "trend" it's O.K., just a bit curious is all.

    I hope it isn't neccesary as I hope the new "first class" film is a reboot... I don't like Magneto's brotherhood on films (and most of the plot on this films, is not because they changed the roles -Wolverine and the X-Men TV series changed the roles of lot of characters and I still like it because they did it in a good way- it is because they ruined it to the end, you can take licences and liberties and still make a movie that not ruin the characaters like for example the TV series I said or the iron-man film and hulk's reboot, but this is one thing and other one is took a group of characters, respect only their names and powers, or even only their names, and make your own history ignoring everything about the characters...)  
     
    And I also hope even this film is a reboot from the first wolverine film, they killed the entire weapon-x team... maverick a korean wich power is imitate Neo from matrix when he i supossed to be german?? Blob in the team?? And he is not fat when you first see him?? Silverfox is a mutant?? And the sister of Emma Frost who should be at least 30 years younger?? Come on!!  (in fact I heard that deadpool film is going to be also a reboot... I hate what they did with deadpool in the first film... close his mouth?? omg, the whole character is based on speak and speak and speak! and yes, I know at the end of the film his head now can open the mouth... but how are they explaining the katanas on his arms?? And why he can move his arms while two katanas are inside of them blocking his elbows??). 
     
    Sorry for all the whine guys, but I felt like I would explode if I didn't say it... what would make me really horrified is if at the end of the film there is a secret scene where Daken is the son of Mariko Yashida lol.

    Altho I find 3D a bad idea, seeing wolverine's claws in 3D would be kinda cool. But thats the only thing I can think of that would fit in. Story should come first. Effects second.

    Lots of good characters from Japan that they can use: Sunfire, Mariko Yashida, Silver Samurai, and..... that's about all I can think of now.

    This movie should be "okay" just like all the other x-men movies.
    To be honest... the entire x-men line needs a good reboot.
    But theyre too far in with 4 movies so far and hue jackman pulls a pretty good wolverine and they dont want to lose him.
    To be honest (again)... im sure they could find a better wolverine and cast better actors as parts.
