The Wolverine “2” Casting Call Information and Plot Details

The casting call information for director Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wolverine” has been released with filming set to take place in NYC and Tokyo, Japan.

No word has been released whether or not the recent Japanese disasters will effect shooting.

This movie is a stand alone – and not a sequel to the previous Wolverine movies. Its being based off the comic book mini-series Wolverine from Chris Claremont and Frank Miller.

The casting call info has given us a bit of background on the story with:

“After getting into trouble in his native Canada, a Japanese man named Zen arranges for Logan’s release and offers to answer questions about his origin if Logan will accompany him to Tokyo.”

Look for “The Wolverine” sometime in 2012 directed by Darren Aronofsky, produced by Lauren Shuler Donner and John Palermo and starring Hugh Jackman.
