    Reshoots Confirmed on 'Wolverine'

    The good folks over at Collider have received word from sources that director Gavin Hood, Hugh Jackman & Co. are currently underway on extensive reshoots for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

    Of course, the fact that this is happening mere months before its May 1 release doesn't bode well in the "quality department!"

    Granted, the X-Men prequel's quality has been in question for quiet some time - what with reports of Hood having issues with the studio for not letting him make his film, producer Richard Donner being brought on set during production, negative script-reports, and well...that awful looking trailer from last month.

    Then again, this is coming from the same studio that rushed a third X-Men film into production as a "Screw you!" to Bryan Singer for jumping ship to make Superman Returns and who were ready and willing to delay (if not possibly out-right kill) Watchmen!

    Personally, I think Wolverine will either under-perform (compared to the $234 million box-office of X-Men: The Last Stand) or possibly even bomb.

    I hope this movie turns out to be a good one. Its sad to see that there has been so much turmoil behind the scenes. But this movie will still do very well I think

    It think there is a lot hinging on this film. Whatever may or may not be going forward in the X-Men universe my be riding on the performance of Wolverine.
