@martinagarcia8 The Claremont / Miller Japanese saga was one of the great Wolverine tales. It offered a brand new world to drop Logan into.

@N8_rocks I made another film with HJ in 01, but I think you mean this movie. Told him I wanted to make Outlaw Josie Wales w/ Logan.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@N8_rocks I thought most respectful way to direct a "comic book" film was to do it the same as you'd make any other. Real. Raw. No different

@cutty_does_it @WolverineMovie Most important on this film for me was get him more of an edge, and get inside his psyche.

@imiguel_rosario At the start, he wants out. An end to the pain. Eternity is hard. Everyone he loved has died. At the end, u tell me...

@N8_rocks writing, writing, writing. story is most important.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@Clairetastic Its effectively an R rated version. 12 extra min of scenes and action. Several large action set pieces you have never seen b4.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@TheFireRises20 Good q! Tough set of choices. Mainly you focus on making the film work along the lines of a theme. In this case-- death.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@TheGh0stDog If asking about bluray, its first time there's been an unrated cut. If asking re the film, I think it tries to get inside Logan

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@KingPatel7 many in early screenings did not get the costume. For people who weren't avid Wolvie fans it produced a collective "huh?"

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@Nerduoso @WolverineMovie a couple-- 1) Early bar scene-- introduction of Yukio. 2) Big chopsocky fight at funeral. 3) Bullet train.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@darrett71 Yukio uses a short or long blade in several scenes. In her intro in bar, bath scene w/ Logan, fight w/ Shingen, fight w/ Viper...

@Ninjarvin Maintaining stamina. A huge job to supervise, Hundreds of craftspeople. Multiple languages. Multiple continents. Millions of $.

@Kesha18Anime17 Original comic took place there & I though codes of honor & decorum in Japan'd be a great contrast w/ Logan's gruff persona.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@MNzHussain Too early to tell you that MNZ. I've got something in mind but too soon to tell. Suffice to say that everything's on the table.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@antovolk 2 scenes torn about excising: 1) Yakuza attack on Love Hotel 2) Small lovely beat w/ Logan & Mariko as they come in from the rain.

@rturco122 We wanted to match these in this exact piece of artwork. I loved the way they were cut. pic.twitter.com/lW1X82mVTl

@Kesha18Anime17 I fell in love with @Rila_Fukushima from photos. When I auditioned her in Tokyo she was perfect. Great soul / spirit / look.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@SpaceMaggot Well, Maggot, since I've been reading comics since I was 12, I was well read up. Most important is have a POV on material.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@N8_rocks I wanted to make sure Fox would let me edge up the look & tone--more intense. I did not want to make something we've already seen.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@Nerduoso We never considered that. Also I love @LievSchreiber, a great old friend, and it might have been fun!

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@Ninjarvin That was not my intention. But interesting..

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@darrett71 His fighting style in film is Japanese influenced. Y'can't just shoot every panel in the comic verbatim, Darrett. Wouldn't work.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@ROKU9413 Logan with a thousand arrows piercing him.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@cleithart Fav improv is simple. @RealHughJackman kneels to @Rila_Fukushima after Shingen fight, touches cheek, says "Thanks". Not in script

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@KlownyJ Theme of film is about immortality and death. The "suit" makes one invincible, and equal to Logan -- so the idea fit the theme.

@Bubbawheat Superman by Richard Donner with Chris Reeves.

@campbelldropout Ratings are challenging. Much of what we watch on cable tv now would be R or NC17. But the effort does make u more creative

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@StephenPaulson9 You'll have to wait and see. Sorry to be evasive, but if I told you everything now, we'd have nothing to tweet next year!

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@LinerNotes Already had a big effect. Harder to make smaller films now which thrive in non-theatrical environs-- HBO, SHOWTIME, NETFLIX etc.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

@JenM512 Me. I love ALIEN! 1 of my favorite horror films. Beautiful imagery, tone, suspense & acting. And its about something. Great film.

— Amazon Movies & TV (@amazon_movies) December 6, 2013

Okay-- we've got turn the feed back to Amazon now. Anyone who has further q's or just wants to follow is always welcome @mang0ld. Thanks!
