6/17/2023 0 Comments Flock of seagulls hair wolverine![]() For me, you're always trying to walk that line between some kind of relationship to the existing comic book art and at the same time having to physically make it work on human flesh so my thing is just, there's my own barometer of what I'll reject and I didn't want Wolverine to look like A Flock of Seagulls. And he was, so that's why it looked like it. ![]() I looked at images of Hugh in the previous movies and I felt like he looked like he was wearing a wig, frankly. They were all part of a general strategy I had to make the kind of movie I'd want to see. You changed the claws there's a notable decrease in the amount of hairspray and just the look of the film I think-no superhero costume, per se. You have to find a way that's different to do it than it's been done before. He's a great character and great characters are a challenge. I think at the moment Hugh is tired of doing this-personally not challenged-he'll stop. The world, whether it's politics or music or athletics or art or movies has gotten to where there's so much commentary and if you listen to it you can stop listening to yourself. ![]() It can but I think the real measure is artistically, asking yourself inside whether you're flatlining. I think when you find a groove you can stick with it. When you find that vein of gold, that connection with an audience, there's no reason to abandon it other than some sense of public or media shame that you're not branching out more. They don't suddenly next season.well, one did and it didn't work out so well. The absolute ability to bring your honest self to the screen with this big, round spherical lens three inches from your nose, is a miracle in and of itself and a lot of actors get hurt by trying to keep reinventing themselves as opposed to-you know, track stars run and baseball players play baseball. It isn't only the measure of an actor, in my opinion, whether they can change like a chameleon. There's nothing wrong with being Gene Arthur or Fred MacMurray or Errol Flynn Errol Flynn didn't do a new accent in every movie. How different was Jimmy Stewart picture to picture? And I don't mean that as a dig there's nothing wrong with being Jimmy Stewart. I find having made a lot of movies with movie stars that there's almost this tragic pressure on them to prove their versatility, whether it's to a critical audience or it's to the general public itself. The reality is that once people respond to an actor-John Wayne may have had different names, but he was playing the same guy. It's also, if you think about Eastwood-how many Dirty Harrys were there? Five? But you think that Clint essentially has been in the groove of that guy for about nineteen movies. So there's a reality to Hugh Jackman in terms of his own versatility that is really uniquely equipped to both eclipse and live within the world of the character he's created. And he can't do a romantic comedy with Meg Ryan. Leonard Nimoy can't sing and dance, God love him. I think that he's an incredible, versatile. I wouldn't credit the movies and I wouldn't credit anything but just Hugh. It's one of those really rare moments where it's an alignment of the right person for the right job and I think when that happens, Sean Connery Bond, I don't think there's any reason that should stop.ĭo you think fans are more forgiving of actors and less prone to typecast them than there used to be? Do you think it's just the fact that the movies are so good that stops him from being typecast into a role like Chris Reeve or Leonard Nimoy? I think that the evolution of what's happened with it is the natural evolution of a great character and a great actor. It's easy to look back and go, "He's made seven movies he's been the Wolverine," but in the beginning he was part of a crew. I don't think he had any idea, even after completing it, what was happening. I made Kate and Leopold with Hugh after he'd made the first X-Men so to me it doesn't seem like the same-he was part of an ensemble in that first film. This is seven movies now for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, right? What do you think keeps him coming back? You can check out more on the event here.
