The Wolverine to Start Filming in August

The much awaited (and much delayed) sequel to X-Men Origins seems to be showing small signs of life, as lead star Hugh Jackman has recently announced that filming for The Wolverine will start in August.

The announcement was actually just an informal tweet, as a reply to a fan who is asking for an update on the film, but it came from Jackman himself so unless Jackman is lying or pulling the fan’s leg, then the official status as per the lead star’s announcement is "starts shooting in August!!!" (actual statement. all three exclamation points were from Jackman.)
