The upcoming film Wolverine is going into production and is set to be shot in New Zealand in Central Otago and a majority of filming will also take place in Fox Studios in Sydney.
Sources say that the film is set in the 70's following Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
A description of one of the scenes tells of an action sequence; "The premise is that a military sniper shoots a rocket launcher at the barn, narrowly missing Wolverine but exploding the building," an assessment of environmental effects by McGillan Consulting Ltd says. "This will be a one-off event, with four cameras located around the set to capture the action."
Production preperation began on Monday and budget rumors give the film a price tag of more than $100 million.
