Wolverine Ready to Be Unleashed!

After X-Men Origins: Wolverine, fans weren't necessarily clamoring for an encore. That all changed when visionary director Darren Aronofsky was named as director, with a strictly non-sequel mentality. Considering the man usually makes movies about psychotic ballerinas or world-weary wrestlers, this somehow made sense in some crazy way. And the Internet wept when Aronofsky dropped out. Who could fill that void? Was this movie even happening anymore?

He really wants to know.
Well, I can happily say it is. Not only is the movie scheduled to start shooting in October, but we also have James Mangold directing. At first the name didn't ring any bells for me.  Other than "Man-gold" being something awesome to call your buddy. He has a fairly strong resume, with movies such as 3:10 To Yuma and Walk the Line. Two pretty cool movies. Although he's not as exciting as Aronofsky, the man seems to be be a quality film maker, and I'm willing to give him a shot. Get ready kids, the Wolverine is back.
