Jackman clears up Wolverine reshoots

Hmmm…. I guess we’ll buy Hugh’s nice email, but we remain wary. No matter, nice work on Jackman’s part in keeping abreast of a potentially bad situation and working to spin it so the movie’s buzz doesn’t get harmed. Love the new photo!

Hey folks, Harry here… Apparently Hugh tried to send this to me yesterday. I never received his email. Today, a concerned fairy godmother connected loosely between myself and the man-god Hugh Jackman, tells me that apparently I’m ignoring an email from Hugh Jackman. Interesting… so we begin a series of communications via another party between Hugh and I… and sure enough we discover that I can not get mail from FOX.COM. Apparently they can’t send out to me, yet I can mail in. INTERESTING. Suffice to say, we worked out the tech angles and I got the email and the picture from Hugh. – From AICN

The email from Jackman:

Hey Mate- Would you mind posting this? Thank you for your support! HJ

Hey everyone -

It’s Hugh Jackman, sending this note from freezing Vancouver. I have read a lot of your online comments regarding the footage that we are currently shooting and I share your passion for the Wolverine character and the movie – I owe it all to you guys!

I wanted to reach out and let you know that due to scheduling conflicts with certain cast members and location/weather considerations, we had to wait until now to shoot a couple of scenes. Please rest assured that WOLVERINE will be badass and hopefully meet all of your expectations. I am stoked by the positive response to the teaser, which clearly reflects the tone and scope of the film. If you like that, we’ve got much more in store!

In the meantime, here’s an exclusive shot of some characters you may recognize…

Cheers,

Hugh

For those of you who had bitten your nails clean off after hearing of ‘extensive’ re-shoots for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Hugh Jackman has responded with what at least sounds to be good news. Hoping to put any stray rumors to rest, Hugh Jackman wrote directly over to AICN to discuss why exactly X-Men Origins: Wolverine was in the process of extensive re-shoots. Besides providing some relief to fans of the franchise everywhere, he was even kind enough to attach the photo posted above. – From SFluxe.com

Last Friday we reported rumours that Fox had ordered extensive re-shoots for X-Men Origins: Wolverine in Vancouver. Since then however both the studio and Hugh Jackman himself have debunked the gossip. Firstly 20th Century Fox told IGN that they had always planned to shoot sequences in Canada, but had to postpone filming due to Hugh Jackman’s publicity commitments for Australia. They also said it they only planned a week’s worth of filming. – From IGN.com
