Comic-con madness in full effect! By the time Monday rolls around I’m assuming we’ll have seen a lot more news like this.
Fox has revealed the release date and details of their upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine Blu-ray disc to Home Media Magazine. In addition to the standard list of goodies, director Gavin Hood states that the Blu-ray will allow you to watch an alternate cut of the film:
- “There’ll be an alternate structure to the movie that we had at one point which is interesting in and of itself,” says director Gavin Hood. “Essentially, it involved delaying the discovery of how Wolverine came to walk away from his brother until much later in the film instead of it being up front. It was a structure that actually, on paper, felt really good, but when we put it together in the edit room, it felt as if we were holding out on the audience for too long in telling them how he came to [a life of seclusion].”
Here’s a rundown of everything we know so far. More details and package art should hit soon.
