Filming for the sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" will begin next year. Until then, we're going to get plenty of pre-production news, like, for example, the recent update that tells us the script for "The Wolverine", originally written by Christopher McQuarrie ("Valkyrie"), will be rewritten by Mark Bomback ("Unstoppable", "Live Free or Die Hard"). According to Variety, the story will still take place in Japan and will feature a new character, called Viper:
Since Ken Watanabe also stars in the movie, maybe he'll be playing the Minister of Justice. He certainly fits the bill. "The Wolverine" will be directed by James Mangold ("3:10 to Yuma", "Walk the Line"). The crew also includes cinematographer Matthew Libatique ("Iron Man", "Black Swan"), production designer François Audouy ("Avatar", "Spiderman") and costume designer Ellen Mirojnick ("Starship Troopers", "G.I. Joe").
"The story will find Wolverine suffering from amnesia and searching for answers about his past in the Japanese criminal underworld where he finds both love and tragedy. The entire cast will be comprised of Japanese and Japanese-American actors except for a newly-expanded character named Viper, who's the Caucasian secretary for Japan's Minister of Justice."
