Could TWILIGHT be co-opting the X-MEN? The horror! Actually, no. Splash Page is reporting that David Slade’s the rumored top contender to direct WOLVERINE 2. His most recent movie was TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE, but a brief look at the man’s filmography shows he’s got a dark streak. Not only did he direct the intense-as-nails indy flick HARD CANDY and the 30 DAYS OF NIGHT movie, he’s also got a healthy number of creepy-to-downright-unnerving music videos under his belt, including clips for System of a Down, Stone Temple Pilots and Aphex Twin. The latter video probably deserves the most attention… because anybody who thought the legendarily-frightening Aphex Twin videos for “Windowlicker” and “Come to Daddy” couldn't be outdone in creepiness really needs to see Slade’s clip for “Donkey Rhubarb.”

Yeah, you’ll never look at the Care Bears the same way again, will you?

Anyway, Jackman’s being saying he wants this new WOLVERINE film to be very different from the first one, lest anybody repeat themselves. If Slade brings any of this wonderful madness to movie #2 - - even just a fraction - - you can be rest assured this’ll be the darkest mutant movie ever. == TEASER ==

Given the TWILIGHT/X-MEN connection here, I supposed I’d be remiss not to comment about this possibly following suit from that other mutant movie that's coming out soon, as well as the current CURSE OF THE MUTANTS storyline. Such a combination, I’m sure, would mean that we’d get see dozens of casting announcements for WOLVERINE 2, including the likes of vampire Yuriko and vampire Silver Samurai as well as vampire Cyber and vampire Albert (if only.)

Also, it’s probably worth commenting that is an odd bit of turnaround considering how that famous, shirtless wolf boy Taylor Launter was rumored to play a young Wolverine in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS for a while. He actually turned down an offer, even if that wasn't necessarily the role.

Cool, loved 30 days of night and Eclipse pretty much redeemed the entire twilight series (in a little way). no doubt this will be a very dark movie. 

Even Twilight :Eclipse has a brutal as hell fight scene at the end, I say good choice.

I think im ok with this, hopefully there's more brutality in this wolverine movie because he's suppose to be far more vicious than he was in the last film. (freakin adamantium bullet T_T)

Sounds like he's got the cred to give the fans the Wolvie they deserve.

I'm almost positive they can't mess up the franchise even more. Sure, give this dude a shot. 

I don't really care for the Twilight movies that much but i did see the first one and that's the only one and it had okay fight scenes

Any hope I had left for FOX-Men franchise dies with this news.

Two words: Oh. &#$%.

"Lets hope we get one decent wolverine...x movie... they cant ruin them all "

" Any hope I had left for FOX-Men franchise dies with this news. "

Sweet :D

Wolverine is dead to me now.

Oh man i hope this is good. 30 days of night rocked so hopefully they can make the fight scenes in wolvie 2 brutal :) and They better not put a young wolverine in "First Class", that would be lame. 
 
 
 "The name's not Logan bub." 
"It's WOLVERINE" 
SNIKT!

I would not like that 

As long as we get snikts instead of sparkles...

Taylor Lautner turned down playing Young Beast. Not Young Wolverine.

I hate the Twilight saga but I am a Wolverine fan so OK.

Damn, he went from Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night to Twilight!? Guess he was desperate for the scratch. 
 
Does not matter anyway. Impossible to redeem this after the abysmal first one.

Oh I get it, now we're gonna have to deal with team Scott and Team Logan aren't we, well I'm only rooting for Team Wade.

Actually, it would be pretty cool to see Wolverine take a darker tone.

I liked 30 Days of Night, and I hope this move will be better than the last. I just want a director that knows what he's doing. Good luck to whoever's making it.

HAHAHAHAHAH
 
since i already had shit expectations for the movie i find this great.

Fox are a bunch of douche bags.  gavin hood had something going with wolverine and im sure hed of come up with a second feature since he had build up to it.  fox is a bunch of back stabbing pricks to not let him make the second feature.  

just the mention of Twilight and Wolverine in the same sentence doesn't sit right with me. whoever gets to lead this project better make it just as great if not greater then the first!

 
David Slade is an awesome director,Hard Candy is one of my favourite movies, it was beautifully made and Eclipse was by far the best Twilight movie. 30 Days of Night was pretty bad-ass too. So I'm not much of a fan of Wolverine, but I will see this if David Slade is directing.

If there are shiny vampires in this Wolverine movie, I will hate Logan forever.

Wouldn't a vampire Cyber be shiny?  Haha...

Well the franchise can't get any worse, so what the hell, let him have a shot at it.

i don't know how i feel about this

The whole X-men is following the vampire-trend..damn'... :(
I'm not expecting much from any of these other 20th Century Fox X-men flicks... Wolverine Origins 2, X-men 1st class, Magneto/Professor X/Cyclops/Deadpool/etc.. Origins... bleh...
Fox needs to lose the license! They're only interested in the quick profit, making lackbuster flicks for no money and making money on DVDs/Blurays... bad reviews? no problem, it will be profitable anyway!
