Greetings all,

It appears that director Darren Aronofsky has walked away from The Wolverine citing the shoot time as primary reason.

I am a fan of Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine.

I don’t think that you can find a better actor to portray the rage, the depth of emotion, and sheer physicality of the Canadian mutant known as Logan.

Personally I’ve been able to overlook this variation away from the comic books simply because his performance has been so damn good. Although I am really basing this on ‘X-Men’ and ‘X2’ because the less said about ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ and ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ the better…

Now comes hope for a more accurate depiction of the “ol’ canucklehead” in the form of Darren Aronofsky, director of the forthcoming Wolverine film, ‘The Wolverine’.
