"SDCC 08: Wolverine Unleashes Gambit Jackman presents a first look at the X-Men spin-off. by Jim Vejvoda July 24, 2008 - 20th Century Fox offered a special treat today for fans attending the studio's movies presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con with a first look at next year's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, complete with an appearance by Logan himself, star Hugh Jackman. The Gavin Hood-directed spin-off recounts Wolverine's exploits before he joined the X-Men. The prequel stars Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed (a.k.a. Sabretooth), Danny Huston as William Stryker, Dominic Monaghan as Beak, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, and Will.i.am as Wraith. Jackman surprised the crowd with his "unscheduled" appearance, telling the fans that the movie had literally just wrapped filming and thanking them for all the success he's had thanks to Wolverine. He then came down off the stage to meet Wolverine creator Len Wein and shake his hand. Jackman then presented "bad ass" exclusive full of "beserker rage" footage from the movie, which he also produced. And we can confirm that it was indeed bad ass. The trailer-like sequence opens with Logan and Creed in a military prison cell where they survived execution by firing squad for decapitating a senior officer. They are met by Colonel William Stryker, who offers them a chance to serve their country by taking part in the Weapon X program. We then saw glimpses of the team's different members: Blob, Deadpool. Wraith and, in perhaps the biggest mass geekgasm Hall H has ever heard, Gambit. We then see Logan in the tank where he undergoes the adamantium process, awakening in a beserker rage and slashing down a number of guards. Stryker then calls on Creed, clad in a black trenchcoat and black outfit, to hunt down his old Army buddy Logan. You can imagine how that turns out. The footage showed Gambit tossing his trademark cards and riding a motorcycle. There was plenty of shots from a chase sequence between Wolverine on a motorcycle, Army trucks and a helicopter. The wartime sequences appear to be set in the Vietnam era, with the New Zealand countryside doubling for Southeast Asia. Jackman, who had just gotten off a plane from Australia, did not take any questions but thanked the fans profusely for all they've done for his career."

sweeet

7/25/2008 2:17:14 PM

anyone see or know of where we can see the footage?

7/25/2008 2:17:42 PM

^

Yeah. I'm going to need to see some Gambit now.

7/25/2008 2:18:34 PM

no shit, that article's got me amped

7/25/2008 2:19:00 PM

geekgasm indeed

7/25/2008 2:19:41 PM

hell yeah

7/25/2008 2:20:31 PM

Well, here's footage of Jackman, but doesn't have the actual footage of the movie.

http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/article/wolverine_footage_debuted_at_comic_con

I'll keep looking.

7/25/2008 2:25:40 PM

Liev Schreiber is Sabretooth?

Really?


This guy?



I don't think there are any good delis in the Alaskan wilderness.

Am I the only one that's getting a little tired of him?

Cue 6,000 shots of him without a shirt on

7/25/2008 2:31:24 PM

bad grainy images:

Let me get this straight...An Australian is playing a Canadian, and a Canadian is playing a Cajun. And Ryan Reynolds? The Merc With A Mouth? Can't happen. He won't overplay it enough. A proper Deadpool should steal absolutely every single scene he is in, which I don't think he can handle.


[Edited on July 25, 2008 at 3:12 PM. Reason : It probably won't be that bad, but it's funny.]

I have confidence this movie won't suck that much.

7/25/2008 3:12:33 PM

oh goddamnit they didn't scar deadpool up

those shots look not good

7/25/2008 3:13:18 PM

^maybe he doesn't have the scars and mask yet?

7/25/2008 3:18:19 PM

a fucking black eyed pea?

7/25/2008 3:20:30 PM

thats what im thinking too...that this is something like a prequel

7/25/2008 3:20:51 PM

it is a prequel...

7/25/2008 3:51:15 PM

Ryan Reynolds will be fine. Overplay?? Isn't that what he does best??

7/25/2008 3:57:51 PM

Ryan Reynolds is the perfect cast for Deadpool

7/25/2008 4:05:18 PM

Give. Me. Deadpool.

7/25/2008 4:26:10 PM

reminds me of some other parts, but mostly Kano in Mortal Kombat for some reason.

7/25/2008 4:26:39 PM

I remember this being a pretty cool storyline in the cartoon

7/25/2008 4:54:14 PM

gambit is the shit

7/25/2008 4:59:44 PM

Bring on Gambit and Deadpool.

RR is a dead on Deadpool. His attitude, comedy, and scene appeal is dead on. Looking fwd to some Gambit...its about damn time.

7/25/2008 6:54:12 PM

i hope deadpool breaks the fourth wall a few times

7/25/2008 7:55:31 PM

he better

7/25/2008 7:59:55 PM

How the fuck does no footage of that preview come out of comic con

7/25/2008 9:27:24 PM

Isn't the "official word" that Deadpool got the scars when they tried to induce a healing factor in him? And, well, technically succeeded, but fucked him up in the process.

7/26/2008 6:32:13 AM

[quote] 1:11PM - Full trailer! Scenes with Gambit throwing cards. Stryker comes and asks to put together a “special team” of superheroes. Shows the relationship with Wolverine and Sabertooth together and the development of the team and the adamantium program that Strkyer puts together. Really AWESOME footage! Looks incredible - some good fight scenes, but it still needs a lot of polishing. It almost looked too glossy and too colorful, but this is very early footage. Either way it looked awesome.

Confirmed team members: Blob, Deadpool, Gambit, Wolverine, Sabretooth, and Emma Frost. Lots of action scenes including a moment where Wolverine jumps from a truck to a helicopter and grabs on and attacks it. Younger cast, but very flashy and colorful and great scenes of action. A lot of cool scenes where Wolverine was fighting in the adamantium lab. Fight scenes of Wolverine and Sabretooth where he shoves his claws into Sabretooth’s chest. All-in-all it looked amazing - and I’m not the only one who thought so!

Wade Wilson was already a world-class mercenary before becoming Deadpool. He developed terminal cancer, and Weapon X's Dr. Killebrew promised him that they could cure it by giving him an artificial healing factor. He just didn't fully explain to him what it would do to Wilson in the process. Deadpool's healing factor is, in some ways, superior to Wolverine's (depending upon at what point in Deadpool's "story" you're reading) in that he can regrow limbs over a short amount of time, and can even reattach those limbs even more quickly. Hell, he's even had his head lopped off and it was put back on.

7/26/2008 3:41:28 PM

^^ I hope Emma gets her fucking head cut off.
And don't forget Silver Fox, confirmed on the imdb cast page.

7/26/2008 3:53:26 PM

I remember in the original trailer it showed deadpool in costume and he looked quite retarded. His mask didn't look right if I do recall correctly. Wasn't it a red mask with a black circle in the middle of it?

7/26/2008 5:26:46 PM

as long as they don't kill Gambit and he is portrayed to my satisfaction, I will enjoy this movie.

7/26/2008 7:13:21 PM

Hopefully Hugh Jackman was at least his Comicon size for the movie.

He's too skinny in that poster.

7/26/2008 7:31:28 PM

hopefully he shrunk at least a foot too

he's too tall in that poster

[Edited on July 26, 2008 at 9:11 PM. Reason : and he's obviously less than 100 years old, that's bullshit]

7/26/2008 9:11:01 PM

silly BigMan, you can't have a short person be the starring role in a movie. Not counting Tom Cruise, because they probably point the camera up and him, make him wear platforms, and have all the other characters slouch in all his movies.

didn't he train with the samurai of ancient japan? or was it with the ninjas

how old is he generally supposed to be? I know he is at least old enough to have fought alongside Captain America in WWII

7/26/2008 9:16:24 PM

Born James Howlett in the late 19th century, according to the Origins comic book, so over 100.

7/27/2008 3:00:37 AM

okay.

when they make a video game, will there be blood?

7/27/2008 3:23:10 AM

Yup, it looks awesome.

7/27/2008 11:19:22 PM

Wow. Nice.

"I'm gonna cut your Goddamned head off."

Will see, day one.

7/28/2008 12:46:48 AM

Yeah, that has me pumped....

7/28/2008 10:15:46 AM

Fuck, no flash player on this computer. Have to wait till I get home to watch it.

7/28/2008 4:10:22 PM

why does Sabretooth look nothing like Sabretooth? He looks way too human in the trailer...

7/28/2008 4:29:38 PM

its the beginning of sabretooth, so I would expect him to look different. I didn't really follow him enough to know about his origins, but I would think he got a lot wilder as time went on and he became more of a loner. I wish they could've gotten the sabretooth from the first X-Men movie just because of continuity, but if this guy can pull it off and make a better movie then so be it.

7/28/2008 4:36:39 PM

any working links?
