Will The Wolverine be the biggest hit of the X-Men universe? We won’t know till the film opens (reportedly in 2012) but it certainly might be our biggest Wolverine: Hugh Jackman tells EW that director Darren Aronofsky has already asked him to gain 25 lbs of muscle — “which is more than I ever have for the role” —  before filming begins next spring. “It’s not easy for me,” he says. “Because I’m actually quite long and lean.” For advice he turned to none other than The Rock! “I had a chat with Dwayne Johnson, who did 25 pounds for his movie,” Jackman says, referring to Johnson’s latest, Faster.

SUPERMAN CAMEO IN GREEN LANTERN

The co-writer of the movie discusses potential easter eggs and also explains why the Superman cameo was cut, revealing that Smallville‘s Tom Welling is more than welcome to come along and film that scene if he has time…

On What He Thinks Of The Actors’ Performaces In The Movie:

“Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are so good together it is ridiculous. Peter Sarsgaard is unbelievable. People are going to draw comparisons in his performance to Heath Ledger in ‘The Dark Knight.’ It is just that good. Mark Strong is ridiculously great. The cast is amazing.

SPIDERMAN STARTS SHOOTING WITH EPIC CAMERAS

John Schwartzman, cinematographer of Sony’s upcoming untitled Spider-Man movie, revealed on the RedUser.net forums that shooting started on Monday for the film and that they are using Epic Digital Cameras, much like how The Hobbit will be shot in 3D:

Today was Epic, Monday December 6 marks the first day the Red Epic camera was used to shoot a major studio motion picture. I can say for certainty the camera does exist and boy is it ready for primetime, as a matter of fact it’s a true game changer. We shot in 3D with 4 Epics mounted on 2 3ality TS-5 rigs today, we did 22 set ups, including running high speed and the images look stunning! I do believe the sensor is iso 800 minus 1 stop for the mirror in daylight and iso 640 in tungsten light but that is really for every dp to determine for themselves, Brook Willard and I figured 640 tungsten but that’s just a number.

GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S ‘AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS’

Almost every week, Guillermo del Toro’s name comes up in regards to something. But when is he finally going to get back to directing? After he left The Hobbit, we all assumed del Toro’s next film would be At the Mountains of Madness, produced by James Cameron, but there haven’t been any updates in a few months. Well, del Toro has changed that with a whole bunch of updates including an estimated start date and more.

Del Toro did an interview with the Los Angeles Times in which he stated he’s “actively engaged with the project” and last week had a “summit meeting” with Universal.
