The mess known as X-Men Origins: Wolverine.Īlthough Origins was initially a financial success, critical and fan reaction was harsh enough for Fox to reconsider its approach to future solo Wolverine films, and the concept of the Origins series in general. Welcome to the 13th installment of Page One Rewrite, where I examine comics-to-screen adaptations that couldn't make it, or did make it, but with radical changes throughout production. This week, the early draft of one of the more infamous comics-to-film adaptations in recent years.
