It caused such an extreme reaction, and so much appreciation for these pictures, and then people immediately wondering if the film itself was going to be in black and white, and so we are giving it a whirl, and I think the Blu-ray will come out with a pass on it.
I think it even surprised everyone to the degree that there is a kind of a running assumption that black and white is a turnoff for most people. It looks like that will happen after all as well, with Mangold recently mentioning to Deadline, that the black and white cut of the film will likely be released with its Blu-ray: With more brutal violence, heartbreaking death, and older, weaker main superhero characters than audiences have ever seen before, it's carved out a place in the comic book genre that's entirely its own.Īll of that and more is why it made so much sense, instantly, when co-writer and director James Mangold first brought up the possibility of there being a black and white version of Loganbeing released sometime down the line. Somber in all of the right ways, it was set up as the kind of emotional swan song that Jackman's Wolverine deserved, after enduring both notable ups and downs throughout the past 17 years on the big screen.īut even with the pitch-perfect marketing and trailers for the film, few fans quite expected Logan to be as dark and bleak as it was. Picking up with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Patrick Stewart's Professor X in 2029 - decades into the future - the film pulled loosely from the iconic "Old Man Logan" comic book, as Jackman prepared to play Logan for the last time. Forced to embrace his otherworldly origins for the first time in his life, Clark Kent dons the special suit from Krypton and prepares to take a stand against an enemy far more powerful than any he's ever known.It became obvious the moment that the Logan teaser trailer arrived that 20th Century Fox's Logan was going to be a great comic book movie, the likes of which the genre had never seen before. Later, the airwaves are hijacked by General Zod, who threatens to obliterate the human race if they fail to hand over Kal-El within 24 hours.
Convinced that his presence on Earth is proof of life on other planets, Lois finds her attempt to publish the story thwarted by her boss Perry White (Laurence Fishburne), who rejects it outright. Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams) has just come to investigate when, after venturing out with her camera, she has a profound encounter with Clark. In time, Clark's travels take him to a frozen tundra, where the American government has discovered an 18,000-year-old anomaly buried deep in the ice. Named Clark and raised by kindly farmers Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane), young Kal-El lives in fear of what might happen should his neighbors learn about his extraterrestrial origins, eventually exploring the world in search of himself. While the young child travels through space with an object containing the DNA of his home planet, General Zod and his cohorts are sentenced to an eternity in a black-hole prison. As the planet of Krypton crumbles, General Zod (Michael Shannon) stages a coup as concerned leader Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and his wife send their infant son Kal-El to a distant world called Earth. Superman flies back onto the big screen in this Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures production directed by Zack Snyder (WATCHMEN), produced by Christopher Nolan (THE DARK KNIGHT), and featuring a screenplay by David Goyer (BLADE, THE DARK KNIGHT).
