After the tragic natural disasters which took place in Japan and Darren Aronofsky's departure, things are not looking too good for The Wolverine. With it unclear that they'll be able to film in the country and no director, it would be easy to assume that the movie has been shelved. Not so, says Hugh Jackman.

"So now we’re out looking for a director. We were pretty much ready to go. The script is fantastic — the best we’ve ever had, which is why it attracted Darren in the first place. His personal situation precludes him from doing it now, and I feel for him. But now we need to find a director."

"We’re not going to settle. We’re going to find a director as good as Darren, if not better. Well, as good. Everyone is still pushing forward to getting it done."

"I can’t be eating too many more chicken breasts!"


Thanks to the guys over at Cinema Blend, we also have the following video interview with the actor, where he talks about Reel Steel and the very real possibility that he'll be playing Wolverine "for the rest of his life."



Previously expected to be released late next year, it is currently unknown when The Wolverine is set to claw his way into theaters!
