In a red carpet interview with Coming Soon, producer Lauren Shuler Donner spoke out about the 20th Century Fox forthcoming film, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". Though insisting to be secretive about details of the action fantasy film, the filmmaker let out that when watching "Wolverine", fans will be presented with a darker "X-Men" movie which is supported with a lot of action sequences.
"I guess it's closer to the first 'X-Men' in tone because it's a little darker, but there's a lot of action," she explained. "It's his origin story. It's really good. I've been in the editing room the last couple of weeks and I think that it's good and that audiences are going to like it. But it's a little darker." She also teases that this time Hugh Jackman will show a different side of Wolverine that no one has ever seen before.

Hollywood couple Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are reportedly househunting in London.
The Rendition co-stars, who have been dating since last year, are said to have been viewing a number of properties, both apartments and townhouses, in the upmarket area of Mayfair.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper, Witherspoon is particularly keen on finding a home safe enough for her two young children, from her marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe.
A real estate source tells the publication, "Reese was extremely concerned about security issues.
"She seemed to particularly like places where they could enter and exit not directly onto the street. That's not always an easy thing in Central London, especially Mayfair. But we were able to come up with a couple of places both she and Jake seemed to like."
Gyllenhaal is currently in the U.K. filming scenes for his new movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a flick which has been plagued by much rumor, as of late. Some are saying that director Gavin Hood (Rendition) has been butting heads with Fox execs over the “dark tone” of the film; others are saying that star Hugh Jackman is butting heads with his director; and quite a few people close to the film are promising that it will feature a few surprises, and more cameos from Marvel’s mutant gallery than you can shake a stick at.
Ugo.com was kind enough to do the research the rest of us were too lazy to do, putting together a fact sheet of confirmed (as in fully quoted and linked) Wolverine plot points, in order to help us all sort fact from fiction.
Well… as it just so happens, we here at Screen Rant are not in the business of ruining the movie before you

Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal has offered an insight into why he's dating Reese Witherspoon - he loves strong women.
The Rendition hunk has always been surrounded by tenacious females - namely his mum, screenwriter Naomi Foner, and older sister, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal - and they've instilled in him an "extraordinary" respect for strong-willed members of the opposite sex.
So much so, the actor actively seeks out a similar strength of mind when he's picking potential suitors.
He says, "Well, between my mum and my sister, I definitely grew up with a particular sort of woman. They are strong women who really know what they believe, and I like that.
"They also taught me to respect a woman's mind. Growing up with them, I've always known about the power and the energy that women hold - anybody who spends any time with women knows how extraordinary that particular sex is!"
