Given that I'd cheerfully watch Hugh Jackman pace across a stage reading an encyclopedia, I'll see this, no matter who's directing.
Pretty much this. And I enjoyed him as Wolverine in the movies anyway.

So did I, I thought he did a great job with it.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

QuoteBlack Swan director Darren Aronofsky will no longer be helming the Wolverine sequel for Twentieth Century Fox. In a statement issued by the studio, Aronofsky said, "It became clear that the production of The Wolverine would keep me out of the country for almost a year. I was not comfortable being away from my family for that length of time." (The film was reportedly going to be set in Japan.) "I am sad that I won't be able to see the project through," continued Aronofsky, "as it is a terrific script and I was very much looking forward to working with my friend, Hugh Jackman, again." Twentieth Century Fox echoed Aronofsky's regret: "While we are of course disappointed that Darren can't do The Wolverine, we also understand and respect his reasons ... Hugh Jackman and Fox both remain fully committed to making The Wolverine. We will regroup and move forward aggressively."

damn, after the last god awful train wreck of a movie, I was really looking forward to some really great directing and cinematography.  que sera, sera.

Well now that Aronofsky is out of the picture, there's a chance your wishes will be fulfilled.
He's a good director, plus his style is well suited for comic books.

We're talking about the same guy who directed Pi and The Wrestler, right? :lulz:
