Cadre Of The Claws

There are 8 names under consideration as potential directors to replace Darren Aronofsky on the super hero mutant actioner "The Wolverine" says Variety.



It's clear that the studio is keen on having someone with experience helming action pics (for the most part anyway) for star Hugh Jackman to work with; The list--Doug Liman ("The Bourne Identity"), Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day"), Mark Romanek ("Never Let Me Go"), Justin Lin  Gavin O'Connor ("Pride and Glory"), James Mangold ("Knight and Day"), José Padilha ("Elite Squad") and short film/commercial director Gary Shore (The Draft)..

From the list I would like to see either Liman or Fuqua get the nod

Christopher McQuarrie wrote the script which is set mostly in Japan and  that's based on the great mini-series by Frank Miller and Chris Claremont

The floods and earthquakes earlier this year complicated the production plans therefore no release date has been set.
