THE WOLVERINE - Expect a Bloodier Unrated Cut!
For those of you hoping to see a bloody version of The Wolverine, it's coming! In a recent interview with Digital Spy, director James Mangold said that the movie would be getting a bloodier, more violent unrated cut! Of course you'll have to wait until it's released on Blu-ray or DVD, but it's coming. When asked about the current cut of the film, and what will be included on the DVD, he explained,
"I'm very happy with the cut, and the studio was very generous in terms of letting me finish the movie as I wanted, but I do think we will have a slightly more violent version... let's say an unrated, a bloodier version. There's about ten or 12 minutes of scenes that I'd love people to see, that we'll produce some kind of longer version of the movie at some point on Blu-ray or whatever. There's another great scene with Hiro Sanada and a much more elaborate battle with ninjas from the third act that is a pretty huge battle sequence that you'll see."
I'm already excited to see the regular version, but if an even more badass version exists, then count me in! The Wolverine hits theaters on July 26th, 2013!
Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine (Jackman), the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality.
