‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Releases New Promo Photos
Here are a couple of new promo photos of X-Men member Wolverine taking on the villainous Sabretooth which have been released ahead of an upcoming commercial campaign that will show three different snippets from the new movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine over the course of three different nights on FOX TV. Check out these photos of Wolvie vs. Sabretooth and just Sabretooth/Victor Creed being his simple badass self:
[B]eginning Sunday, Feb. 15, viewers across the nation can witness the origins of one of the year’s most anticipated movies, when Twentieth Century Fox debuts an exclusive, three-part reveal of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the first chapter in the X-Men saga, on FOX. For this unprecedented promotional event – which is too big for one night – the studio has created three special 60-second spots that will air over the course of three nights on FOX. Together, with one spot leading into the next, the spots will form a narrative revealing the origins of Wolverine, and the epic revolution that pits him and other legends of the X-Men universe against powerful forces determined to eliminate them. The first spot will air Sunday, Feb. 15 during Family Guy (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT); the second on Monday, Feb. 16 during House (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT); and the third will air Tuesday, Feb. 17 during American Idol (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Following Tuesday’s broadcast of the final spot, all three reveals will be released on Yahoo!
This is brilliant marketing … capitalizing on the hype and generating buzz this early before the movie actually comes out is a pretty smart gamble. Reports of reshoots have got some hardcore fans worried and it appears that the movie studio is doing everything it can to combat those negative fears by putting out as much new content as they can, as soon as they can to try and stem the tide of the naysayers. On the one hand, they risk giving away too much … on the other hand, they really have a chance to get fanboys excited. And one sure way to get fans excited is to keep teasing with one of the most beloved X-Men of all time (one who has since remained absent from any of the X-Men movies) — Gambit/Remy Etienne LeBeau. After the jump, check out a new promo pic of Gambit in action …
I, personally, am not worried at all about any reshoots that are required of the film … whatever they have to do to make the best movie possible, I’m all for it. I’m very encouraged by what I’ve seen thus far. I have no doubt that Hugh Jackman will be able to carry his own superhero movie almost solely on his own … but I do love that this first X-Men Origins film will introduce X-Men into the live action movie canon that have yet to make their debuts on the big screen. Folks have been waiting for Gambit for a long time. I hope that the movie studio keeps putting out promo materials like this … I really love these new photos … and I really cannot wait to see the 3 new one-minute spots that will air on FOX in the coming days. X-Men Origins: Wolverine opens on May 1 but these little snacks may just be the things to tide us over until then.

Can not wait to see this movie (saw the preview for it today at He’s just not that into you movie), one of the locations was in a suburb over from me in little old Dunedin, New Zealand! Who knew the old cement factory which should’ve been demolished 24 years ago would’ve come in handy!!

I’m still holding out my thoughts on this Gambit until I hear his accent. That’s the make it break it for me. I grew up reading and hearing his accent, I’ve been dreaming for Gambit since X1 so I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it anymore if they mess him up.

I heard that Gambit has absolutely nothing to do with the wolverine story in the original comics and the cartoon. My boyfriend absolutely LOVES gambit but is complaining that this is a crappy way to introduce him into the franchise.

Gambit and Wolverine have always been my favs of the mutants. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!! Both of the together yum!
