'The Wolverine' Concept Art Rises - Update

This is a day late, but concept art for the superhero film The Wolverine are online thanks to a set visit. There's not much to see, but anything is better than nothing I guess.

Some interesting tidbits are the shot of someone swinging a samurai sword, a POW camp and an Atomic explosion.

I tried to blow up some of the more interesting concept images.





Supposedly the story is about Wolverine traveling to Japan to train as a samurai warrior and is set during WWII.

No word on who the concept artists are, but IMDb lists Joshua Min, Michele Moen, Josh Nizzi and Manuel Plank-Jorge.
