This summer’s shaping up to be a good time for movies, with the delayed Star Trek and Harry Potter, Transformers 2 and now Wolverine’s solo film.   Newarama have the trailer up:

I must admit, while I knew the film was in the works, I hadn’t realised it was this far along, so I was surprised to see the trailer.  But I think it looks brilliant.  Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has always been spot on (if a bit tall, but that’s forgivable) and this looks like a lot of fun.  Its very tantalising seeing those brief shots clearly inspired by the Origin series, with the young James Hewlett and his bone claws.

That’s Star Trek and this had very strong trailers.   It’s nice to have something to look forward to movie-wise this year, as frankly I think this Christmas has been a real letdown.   There’s nothing out I want to see (especially the Day the Earth Stood Still – being a fan of the original story I think this looks absolutely atrocious) and those films I was looking forward to (Quantum of Solace) were a bit dissappointing.
