Wolverine Posters

I'm not sure if these are official posters of not, the only mention I found was on a Spanish website, and since I don't speak spanish, my investigation was halted there.

Still thougt they were worth posting.

Personally I prefer the first and third one, but I'm not sure about the tag line on the last one.

OUCH!

Who is Schreiber Playing in Wolverine?
Source: CHUD , January 11, 2008
CHUD is reporting that Liev Schreiber is playing Victor Creed (AKA Sabretooth) in the Gavin Hood-directed X-Men Origins: Wolverine and not a young Stryker as was previously believed.

The site adds that Michael C. Hall ("Dexter") is instead in talks for the role of Stryker and that they are eyeing Michelle Monaghan for Silverfox.

Leading up to the events of X-Men," "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.

The movie opens in theaters on May 1, 2009.

The Otago Daily Times has published an interesting report, which mentions that the X-Men Origins: Wolverine production will be using the Queenstown Fun Centre Limited:
Queenstown may be preparing itself for Hollywood fever as filming for Hollywood blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine nears, but one group of Queenstown residents has been left high and, quite literally, dry, with the production studio renting the Queenstown Fun Centre.
The Otago Daily Times understands the ice was taken off the rink recently and the surface will remain dry possibly until March.
Rumours are circulating the Fun Centre may be earning as much as $4000 a week for the rental.
