According to Variety Mark Bomback has been hired to rewriteChristopher McQuarrie's script for the delayed (‘cursed?) The Wolverine.Filming on the film has been delayed by the lasting effects of the JaaneseTsunami; With Jackman no longer having time to make the film until after hefinishes work on Les Miserables, directed by Tom Hooper.
It has been suggested that the film will now involve less locationfilming in Japan, with some rumours saying the locations or the story itself aswell as the shoot, may change significantly. Given that the script, based on aclassic Wolverine mini-series, was considered exceptional by many, including originaldirector, Darren Aronofsky, you have to wonder if this re-write is more to dowith rearranging the locations and some characters, to better fit with a filmnot exclusively (or even predominantly) set in Japan.
Curiously McQuarrie and Bomback’s writing paths have onlyjust crossed. McQuarrie wrote the screenplay for Bryan Singer’s upcoming JackThe Giant Killer, which had its story written by Bomback. Here’s hoping theyhaven’t just decided to drop a ton of the drama and character development foran extra sword fight or two.
