Director Gavin Hood Talks 'Wolverine,' Piracy

From: getthebigpicture.net

A big crowd turned out in Tempe, Arizona on Monday night for the U.S. premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In a move that really embraced the fans, the premiere was held on 16 screens simultaneously at the Harkins Tempe Marketplace theaters, with the cast, including Hugh Jackman, in attendance for the film.

The Big Picture was on the red carpet for the event, and we recorded a few interviews for you, like this one with director Gavin Hood. His background is not with action movies; his claim to fame to this point has been the Oscar-winning South African film Tsotsi.

We asked Hood about making a movie on a completely different scale and with substantially larger expectations. Then we addressed the elephant in the room, the theft of a Wolverine work print that was subsequently funneled online and downloaded millions of times.
