Well, Happy (Almost) Thanksgiving indeed. Between Australia and the flood of X-Men Origins: Wolverine news, you can't turn around without seeing Hugh Jackman's biceps somewhere this week ... not that I'm complaining. How did it take so long for him to be dubbed Sexiest Man Alive, anyway? The physique should have earned it twice over.Anyway, get a peek of Empire's new Wolverine cover, which will be on shelves in December. Click on him to get the whole thing, and tidbits like this from the magazine's tell-all set visit: "There's a scene in the first X-Men movie," says Jackman, "where Wolverine's introduced in a bar, fighting in a cage, and you felt that he did this every night of his life. If this movie is successful, you should feel that this guy can walk straight off the end of this film and into that bar. "
And in other Origins news, ComingSoon has confirmed that the film's trailer will be seen on December 12th, attached to The Day the Earth Stood Still. Some say that means the sci-fi remake isn't very good, and Fox is counting on the trailer to bolster ticket sales. But do people really do that, particularly in these tough economic times, and with bootlegs providing instant gratification? I doubt it. We'll post it as soon as it appears online, though, count on that.

In the Watchmen graphic novel, you can read The Earth Stood Still on a marquee after a specific, important event. I thought it made sense to show the trailer at the actual remake of such film, a nice coincidence, other than that, why would anyone want to see that boring film? A trailer? I don't think people are that crazy over Wolverine anyway.
Look forward to Wolverine, sounds cool.

I am totally crazy for this man. I can actually see myself doing something reprehensible just to get closer to him. It would be that part in a movie where everyone would expect me to be ashamed for lying to everyone, but I come off at the end with a speech about ambiguous morality that makes everyone feel sorry for me and then, just maybe, I still get the guy at the end.

Thats ridiculous. Movie studios always pump out trailers for highly anticipated movies in front of other highly anticipated movies. So what, they were expecting Quantum of Solace to suck so they put out the Star Trek trailer to boost ticket sales? No way. Its what always happens. If anything it speaks to the perceived quality of TDTESS that they would use that movie to hype up Wolverine. It says they think so many people will go to see TDTESS that its the best way to reach a huge audience. It seems like people are looking for any excuse to hate on that movie...

Um... I hated James Bond. I went for the Star Trek preview.
No lie. The bond movie was not that great.
