20th Century Fox has set a May 1, 2009 release date for Hugh Jackman starrer X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which director Gavin Hood (Rendition, Tsotsi) begins shooting later this year. David Benioff wrote the script.
"Wolverine" is expected to feature many other mutants -- some new to the film franchise and some from one or more of the three "X-Men" films. Liev Schreiber is reportedly in final talks to take on the role of a younger version of nemesis William Stryker, played by Brian Cox in X2.
As of now, the only other film staking out the May 1, 2009, date is Disney's animated film G-Force.
The film explores the claw-wielding character Wolverine's violent and romantic past, and his complex relationship with Victor Creed and the ominous Weapon X program, as well as his encounters with other mutants.
Hood will start shooting in Australia before moving to New Zealand and, later, to New Orleans.
Producing are Lauren Shuler Donner and Ralph Winter, producers of the "X-Men" movies, along with Jackman and producing partner John Palermo through their Seed Productions. Marvel's Kevin Feige will executive produce.

Excellent - the little flashbacks in the Xmen movies were never enough, as far as I'm concerned. I'll definately be seeing this one!

He is supposed to be Canadian. I hope they make more of a point of that in this one.

They better go with that. He was not only Canadian, he came from the west / northwest part of Canada. He was a former Canadian Infantryman. There are many, MANY things Canadian that can be linked to or mentioned about Wolverine. The comics go with that history and the movies up until now have mentioned that he was Canadian, if only in passing.
I guess they don't want Americans to feel like they're second-class citizens by stating that someone great could come from any other place OTHER THAN the good, ole' U.S. of A...

i have a sneaking suspicion Robair may request this movie as a wedding anniversary event if it comes out beginning of May (2009)...oh well, i like Xmen too!
Think of the ripple effect -- how a stone thrown into a pond creates increasingly larger circles. Your impact on people can have the same effect. So the question is: What kind of impression do you want to leave?
