Posted 9/16/09 10:51 am EST by in Marvel, Review

EXCLUSIVE: Deleted Scene In 'Wolverine' Humanized Sabretooth, Reveals Director

Posted 9/15/09 2:11 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Sabretooth - WolverineOne of director Gavin Hood's last decisions while editing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" involved cutting a scene in which Wolverine chose to have his memory completely wiped. However, audiences can evaluate the scene themselves today on Blu-ray and DVD, and Hood believes that its greatest impact is to humanize Victor Creed as he watches his brother choose to forget him.

"[Wolverine's] brother, played by Liev Schrieber, says to Stryker, ‘Will he remember me?’ and there’s a tremendous moment of vulnerability where Stryker looks at him as if he’s crazy and says, ‘No, of course not,’" Hood told MTV News. "Then Victor Creed says, 'Then let him go,' which is beautiful."

Hood pins that reaction to Creed's pent-up need to maintain a relationship with Logan, even if it's a violent one. Read More...
