X-Men Origins: Wolverine DVD
Experience the very first chapter of the high-octane X-Men saga through the eyes of a true Marvel legend when X-Men Origins: Wolverine arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on 19 October 2009 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar, as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, adamantium claws, and a primal fury known as berserker rage. Spanning over 150 years, X-Men Origins: Wolverine chronicles young James Logan and his tortured past from boy, to man, to mutant.
From conflicts with his half brother Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber; Defiance), his membership in Team X, his infamous adamantium rebirth and the total memory loss that ultimately fuels his angry quest, X-Men Origins: Wolverine paints the vivid and difficult roots of rage of the legendary superhero.
Leading up to the events of X-Men, X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film have long been anticipated.
Directed by Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) from a script by David Benioff (The Kite Runner) and Skip Woods (Hitman), X-Men Origins: Wolverine delves deep into the X-Men universe by introducing comic-book mainstays into the film including Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder, Blade:Trinity) as Deadpool, Taylor Kitsch (Snakes on a Plane) as Gambit, Danny Huston (The Kingdom, The Constant Gardner) as Colonel William Stryker, Dominic Monaghan (Lost, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) as Bolt and Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.Am as Wraith.
