IESB has a nice Comic-Con interview with the cast here. One of the things Josh Brolin said was: "I didn't read a lot of comic books, as a kid. I read a lot of Ray Bradbury. That was my thing. So, there's a similarity there, and I appreciated it very much. When I got into it, I loved the fact that he was an anti-hero. I loved that it wasn't an extremely successful comic book. There were three different manifestations of the comic book, but like the character himself, it refuses to go away. There's a great survivalist element to this guy and the comic book itself. I like the fact that there's not another comic book character like him and that there's no model to base a film on him, so we were really starting from scratch and got to create what we wanted to create, with the blessing of those guys."
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2
The Coventry Telegraphs's Geek Files posted this article that says the 2011 sequel will cover the 15 years that the other film didn't. The material will come from the Chris Claremont-Frank Miller "Mariko" mini-series. Both Hugh Jackman and Liev Schrieber will be back. Jackman said: "Japan is where we're heading, [and] we're starting to work on it now. We're in the first steps of developing that story. I think the fans love that saga. It's my favorite saga of the Wolverine stories. That's a movie I've longed to make from the beginning, so that's where we're heading."
