Wolverine, take 2!

Rumors today suggest some rivalry and arguing over what is best for the new Wolverine pic, starring Hugh Jackman. The upcoming movie, directed by Gavin Hood is re-shooting a massive amount of shots after the original cut failed to impress....well, anybody. Apparently, Fox, the studio responsible had such little faith in the director, they hired Richard Donner as a "consultant." Donner was responsible for Superman one, and just recently had his version of Superman 2 come out, after being fired for creative differences. I only mention this, because there seems to be what people in the business call 'foreshadowing' between that instance and here. There were rumors going around that Donnor did more of the directing than the director, and the end result was not pretty. It seems Fox has given Hood his movie back for some key scenes, apparently a lot of key scenes. Fox has even invited some journalists to see the scenes being re filmed to show it really is Hood behind it all, and not someone else.
This does not sound like a good sign, when a director is not in charge, things don't go well.
