At the premiere of the new movie
Date Night, MTV News caught up with X-Men star Hugh Jackman. The Aussie actor had nothing but praise for script of the latest installment of the X-franchise:
"It's the best one we've had," said Jackman in reference to the screenplay be Christopher McQuarrie.
The sequel to
X-Men Origins: Wolverine will follow the clawed berserker to Japan and is said to be inspired by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's run on the comic character. Fans will see Wolverine face off against a notorious Japanese crime lord, while also falling in love with his daughter, Mariko. Regarding the tentative filming location for the project, Jackman said,
"At least part of it [will be filmed in Japan]. You know how these things work. We may not be able to do all of it in Japan, but definitely a lot of it." When asked whether there are any plans of giving the film the 3-D treatment, which many fans are sure to be against, he answered,
"Don't know — but that's a good question." The yet to be titled film will begin production early next year, for a planned release date sometime in 2011.
