Rob Hunter and Film School Rejects<\/a> present 35 Things We Learned from James Mangold’s Logan<\/em> Commentary<\/a>. \u00a0Here are three of my favorites…<\/p>\n 1. He and Hugh Jackman began thinking about a follow-up immediately after completing 2013\u2019s The Wolverine, and they knew it would most likely \u201cbring the curtain down on his character.\u201d They both agreed that superhero films in general had grown repetitious and wanted to do \u201csomething different, something deeper.\u201d<\/p>\n 2. The first thought on the road to crafting the story here was \u201cwhat is Wolverine frightened of? What is Logan afraid of?\u201d They wanted his final story to be the thing that scares him the most, and after scouring the comics he realized there was no villain or end-of-the-world scenario that would unsettle Wolverine. \u201cThe answer that came to me was love. Love scares him, intimacy scares him, being dependent on others scares him, being vulnerable scares him.\u201d<\/p>\n 10. Some people assumed Mangold\u2019s interest in the R-rating was that he\u2019d be able to increase the level and detail of violence, foul language, and sexual references, \u201cand in many ways all those things were attractive.\u201d His biggest reason for going this route though \u201cwas a little more complicated than that.\u201d An adult-rated film means the studio won\u2019t make an effort to market the film to children with Happy Meals and toy tie-ins, and \u201cwhat does that mean to the filmmaker?\u201d He says what it changes for the writers\/director is that no one at the studio is reading the script on a marketing level and then dictating editing choices to ensure it plays well to kids. \u201cThe ideas of the film are allowed to be more sophisticated because you\u2019re no longer having to pace up the movie, edit it faster, make it more charming or colorful for a nine year old\u2019s attention span. The film becomes what I had hoped for which is a comic book film for adults.\u201d<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rob Hunter and Film School Rejects present 35 Things We Learned from James Mangold’s Logan Commentary. \u00a0Here are three of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17,56,54,65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebs","category-comics","category-movies","category-trivia"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18109"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18110,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18109\/revisions\/18110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
