Deadline has posted an interesting bit on when and where Wolverine 2 will start shooting:
Darren Aronofsky’s deal to direct 20th Century Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 is close enough that discussion has turned to shooting the sound stage portions of the film in New York so the filmmaker and Hugh Jackman don’t have to inconvenience their families. A March start date is being eyed so that Aronofsky has time to open Black Swan and be available for the inevitable awards season obligations. When the New York scenes are completed, they’ll head to Japan to shoot the bulk of the Christopher McQuarrie-scripted movie. Deadline told you last week that Aronofsky had set his sights on Wolverine after passing on the Warner Bros period crime drama Gangster Squad.
This is supported by a recent quote that Jackman gave Teledoce when he was in Uruguay shooting a commercial. Towards the end of the interview, embedded below, Jackman says they’ll be getting underway in either March or April.
