I used to follow the comic a long time ago so I don't know how much they have expanded the origin story since then. I'm pretty sure the movie will take many liberties. I didn't recognize all the characters with powers on first sight. Gambit is in it, and. might be fun if he's done rightAnyone care to help identify?

Dominic Monaghan (Lost, Lord of the RIngs) as Beak. The creepy-faced Kevin Durand (who was also on Lost) as Blob. The others are listed on the imdb... Ah, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. (Which I'd never heard of.) Looks pretty cool actually - ridiculous, but cool. Better cast than you'd expect.

I just looked up Wolverine's "biography" in Wikipedia while I was at it. Seems like they've added quite a bit since I read the comic. I hope someone write a decent script for this one!

They're pretty good, as I recall. Like X-Men: The Legend of Wolverine. The X-Men Evolution cartoons are more uneven but some are worth checking out.
Cinenaut	post #5  on December 17, 2008 - 2:36 PM PST   It's an interesting choice to have Sabretooth look like Liev Shreiber, instead of a guy in Saberetooth make-up. It could work.
shiftless	post #6  on December 17, 2008 - 3:52 PM PST   Is that a choice of the film or is that part of Sabertooth's history? That he started off more human looking?
Cinenaut	post #7  on December 17, 2008 - 8:47 PM PST   Oh, good question. I have no idea. > On December 17, 2008 - 3:52 PM PST shiftless wrote: > --------------------------------- > Is that a choice of the film or is that part of Sabertooth's history?

So here's hoping for the best! Even if it means another inevitable Halloween full of people in retard-o Wolverine costumes.
