Hugh Jackman Really wants to Sing Before Growling: 'Wolverine' Postponed for 'Les Mis'

'The Wolverine' has already established its share of problems. Director Darren Aronofsky quit in March, then your earthquakes and tsunami in Japan -- in which the film happens -- postponed production. When director James Mangold came on in June, things looked better for Fox's follow up, and production was penciled set for the autumn. Now, however, it's like production continues to be moved to the spring. The main reason, based on Deadline: Star Hugh Jackman really wants to star in Tom Hooper's 'Les Miserables' first, since that production is beginning to obtain off the floor. Based on ThePlaylist, Hooper's follow-as much as 'The King's Speech' continues to be casting this summer time with Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert to Jackman's Jean Valjean. Additionally, names like Hayden Panettiere, Miranda Cosgrove, Lucy Hale and Emma Watson were being considered for Eponine and Cosette Can Be and Rebecca Hall were being eyed for Fantine. And Geoffrey Hurry and Helena Bonham Carter have been in discussions to reteam with Hooper to experience the Thenardiers. How much of an impressive selection if even half the castings are created. Meanwhile, Fox will in all probability move production on 'The Wolverine' to Canada, both because filming in Japan continues to be an unsure proposition and also to ease production cost pains -- or opt for a mix of Canadian and Japanese locations, based on Deadline. But regardless, production will not start until Jackman is completed together with his singing and dancing, which means a 2013 debut for that follow up. Which means you fans from the hirsute Marvel character are simply going to need to be a little more patient.
