Bad News for "Wolverine"

Today's Variety:

Two recent productions, "Babylon A.D." and "Wolverine," were rumored to have gone through Fox's on-set maelstrom.

On the eve of the film's release, "Babylon" helmer Mathieu Kassovitz publicly claimed the studio ruined his longtime passion project. "Wolverine" helmer Gavin Hood was nearly fired, according to sources, because of squabbles with the studio, and two backup directors were in place before Richard Donner -- who is married to the film's producer Lauren Shuler Donner -- flew to the Australian set to smooth things over. At the time, Fox insisted that Richard Donner was on-set because he is a producer on the film. However, current credits for the film list various producers, but Donner is not one of them.

Fox will fuck this up good.
 
Why do Fox bother hiring genuinely talented, individual directors like Gavin Hood or Kassovitz when it's quite obvious that they only want to deal with hacks like Brett Ratner?

The stills from Wolverine so far have looked pretty good and Jackman simply owns this role. Here's hoping that Fox don't f*ck this up like they did X3.
 
You'd think Hugh Jackman would have enough clout by now to say "hands off".

Does Jackman write? Actors who don't are rarely good judges of whether a script will work as a finished film, or how a production is going until they see the film edited together. Those who are exceptions to that rule - and there's no indication so far that Jackman is - can do very well over the long haul.

this.

Wolverine looks pretty good, but I can easily see Fox managing to ruin it by adjusting the final cut for "better marketing"...
 
Hmm...Richard Donner...superhero movie...replacement directors.....Something about this sounds familiar....
