Hugh Jackman: 'Wolverine' Script Ready!

The script for Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine movie is ready! Here’s what Hugh said: “We have our final script. We’re now finding a director, and probably in a year or so. I’m doing a movie next year with Baz Luhrmann, but after that we’ll get into it. It is a prequel, and it’s going to be about the origins of the character. That’s all that I can tell you — you don’t know how long ago that was, right? I’ve got to keep a few surprises for you guys.”

I’m duly excited for the ‘Untitled Baz Luhrmann Project‘ and for the ‘Wolverine Movie.’ Filming for the Wolverine movie begins late 2007, so filming for the Baz project would begin early 2007…
