Wolverine: He's Goin' to Japan, Dudes! Wooo!
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is sitting on a 35% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, which, by the standards of 100% being really good, is not very good. But it also made like $85 million last weekend, so it's sequel time. Logan's going to Japan!:
Fox and Seed are in development on a sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which topped the domestic box office over the weekend.The Seed partners have begun planning the sequel, which they are squarely focusing on the samurai storyline originated in the comic series, and whose Japanese locale was teased after the film's final credits. A writer has yet to be hired.
Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that "squarely focusing on the samurai storyline" means "squarely focused on the samurai storyline--but also with subplots involving Cyclops, Psylocke, Apocalypse, Evil Wolverine, the Devil, and a deadly serial rapist"?
