X-Men Origins: Wolverine Set Squabble with FOX
It seems those knuckle-heads over at FOX are at it again....
20th Century Fox co-chairman and CEO Tom Rothman and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" director Gavin Hood (Rendition) are reportedly in a dispute over the artistic direction of the film.
"There was/is a huge Wolverine set being recently used. I'm not even sure which lot it was built on, but the look or mood of the set is, according to a source who was told Hood's view of things, supposed to be on the dark, dinghy and somber side. I only know what I was told, but the basics are that Hood was away from the set for whatever reason (shooting something else, taking a day or two off), and when he returned to the big somber set he was shocked to find that it had been repainted top to bottom on Rothman's orders. The murky-scuzzy vibe was gone, and a brighter and less downish look had taken its place."
"...it suggests that a creative tug-of-war is going on, and that Rothman feels a certain managerial-slash-territorial investment in the X-Men franchise and is more or less entitled to make his own Wolverine calls, whether or not Hood fully concurs."
"...I do know that Hood was utterly surprised when he got back to the set and saw what had been done."
So FOX has not only released a string of the shittiest movies of the year so far (Meet the Spartans, Meet Dave, The Happening), and are currently in a lawsuit with Warner Brothers to stop the release of "The Watchmen", but now they are also looking to make Wolverine a more lighthearted, family friendly movie?!?

Comment by Stephan on August 21, 2008 at 12:22am - For there to be a creative tug of war between Hood and Rothman, doesn't Rothman have to have creativity?
