One element of X-Men Origins: Wolverine that pissed me off to no end was the simple fact that Wolverine never, ever, ever had blood on his hands or claws after viciously stabbing an enemy. His claws remained pristine and shiny throughout the entire film. Along with his healing factor, he also garnered the cleaning power of Mr. Clean. The latest still from The Wolverine shows Hugh Jackman with claws out and they’ve got some blood on them. READ MORE

Warner Bros. Pictures has made a major shift for James Wan’s The Conjuring (also going by The Warren Files), taking it out of its January date and pushing it to July 19, 2013. This isn’t bad news at all, but I think WB is playing a dangerous game releasing a horror film mid-summer. Wan, director of Saw, Dead Silence and Insidious, tells this alternate take on The Amityville Horror that’s inspired by the supernatural events that happened in the Rhode Island home of the Perron family. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are playing the investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Lilli Taylor and Ron Livingston will portray the Perrons.

The first official image for The Wolverine, the quasi-sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was released today showing a jacked Hugh Jackman, claws and all. Why is he shirtless? I’m not sure, but it looks badass. Hopefully, there will be a bit more blood this time around.
The Wolverine is directed by James Mangold, and is expected to hit theatres on July 13th, 2013 from Marvel Entertainment. Check the full teaser below. READ MORE
