X-Men Origins: Wolverine Blu-ray Disc Review

By brenden ⋅ October 18, 2009 ⋅ One comment

A friend of mine dragged me to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine in the theatre this past summer. I was completely prepared to despise it, having read some early reviews and watched enough previews and specials to tell me that this film wasn’t for me. It pretty much delivered exactly what I expected - mindless action loosely connected through ridiculous plot threads and plastic characters. Imagine my surprise when I discovered a lot more to like about it upon my second viewing of the film, on the Blu-ray disc! …Continued…

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Official Blu-ray details announced

By brenden ⋅ July 30, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

All right. I know. I’ve posted most of this stuff before. But you see, most of that news was either speculation or condensed information. But this is the real deal, straight from the horses mouth. According to Fox, you can take it to the bank that this is the final word on X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

The confusing bit for me is that there’s no hint of the alternate cut that director Gavin Hood mentioned to Home Media Magazine last week, and that we reported on only days ago. Maybe it’s an Easter Egg. …Continued…

Ok. I really wasn’t expecting this. Marvel has teamed up renowned Japanese animation studio Madhouse (Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers) and multiple-Eagle Award winning writer Warren Ellis to create four new animated versions of classic superhero stories. The comic book publisher released trailers for two of the series, expected to begin airing in Japan next year. Check out the incredible Iron Man trailer above, and Wolverine below! Let’s hope these make their way to Blu-ray some day soon… …Continued…

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: …Continued…

UK to get X-Men Origins: Wolverine on October 19, Full Blu-ray Details Announced

By brenden ⋅ June 24, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Like the headline says, you folks across the pond have been handed all the details and a release date for FOX’s upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine Blu-ray disc. It’s a pretty safe bet to assume that we here, in North America will get a similar release around the same time so expect an announcement soon-ish.

Take note of the list of bonus features below. It seems that we’re not given a hint of the multiple endings seen in theatres. Is this simply an omission from the announced extras? Are the multiple endings buried within one of the features (like, are we going to see them in Wolverine Unleashed: The Complete Origins?) Or is it possible that we’ll see them all edited into the film, à la the home video version of Clue? …Continued…
