Vine gives us a whole new way of viewing the world of social media. You can tell an entire story with just one 6-second (or less) video. Studios have caught on to the craze and are now releasing portions of their movie in six seconds and redefining the way we see teasers. The latest marketing bit using Vine comes from Fox who will be releasing The Wolverine on July 26, 2013.
Hit the jump to see the new teaser and a couple of new images and a brand new poster for the film.
Anyone who watches the teaser for The Wolverine can assume that a lot will happen in this trailer. The full trailer lands later this week, which will give us a better glimpse at the plot of the film.
But in those six seconds we see that Wolverine/Logan (Hugh Jackman) is indeed in Japan, being held captive, and going through some flashback or having some sort of physic connection with Jean Grey, (Famke Janssen). It was long rumored that Famke Janssen was involved some how, but her appearance, albeit a quick one, does confirm that she will be reprising her role from the X-Men movies in this film. Whether this is a reference to a flashback or the character resurrecting is not clear from this tiny teaser.
Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
The new posters debuted over on IGN. Looking at these posters, they are honestly a sloppy piece of work. The posters, which were clearly photoshopped, look rushed.
Directed by James Mangold, The Wolverine also stars Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Will Yun Lee, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, and Brian Tee.
