Halted for the weekend, filming has picked back up forThe Wolverine today in Australia. And now shooting around a Hopetoun Hotel in Surry Hills NSW, Pedestrian TV has scored a few none-revealing photos. And while star Hugh Jackman was absent from the set, the source's set report claims the scene(s) will include him.
UPDATE: The Daily Mail has spotted the star Hugh Jackman on the Surry Hills set, bare armed.
“A crew worker told us the scene they're shooting involves Wolverine "confronting someone in a bar fight" and, judging by the Camouflage-centric costumes, we're guessing the punch up involves characters from Wolverine/Logan's military past.”
While Pedestrian TV's Military theory may be so, the actors costumed in the set photos below are likely the “group of hunters” that were filmed days ago loading their pick-up trucks with bags and rifles. And in that case, the scene further hints at paying homage to Frank Miller's “Japanese Saga,” where Logan ends up in a bar fight in which pursing an vicious grizzly bear eventually led him to. What do you think?
Starring Hugh Jackman, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Will Yun Lee, Brian Tee and Svetlana Khodchenkova, directed by James Mangold, The Wolverine is scheduled to be released on July 26, 2013.
