We've got a new interview with Hugh Jackman posted, and we here at CountingDown made sure to get the details about working with screenwriter David Benioff - here's a clip:

Q: So now that you're a producer and an actor on Wolverine, do you spend a lot of time talking with David Benioff about the script, or do you let him do his thing and then check in with him?

A: Well, with someone like David Benioff, you let him do his thing, first off. He comes back with it and then we sit down together and we say, 'I think this is fantastic, we may want to go in this direction, what about this', he's very collaborative. And for better or worse, I've played the role for three movies, so it's a character that I know, and I know what I want to achieve with the film. I don't want the film to appear at all like X-Men 4 in disguise. I want it to feel like a very fresh, whole new character piece. I want it to be a character movie, and I really want it by the end of the movie for it to be definitive you knew who this guy was. Some cool action, some great characters, but ultimately, that you totally know who Wolverine is. And he really got that, he totally got it. David's known for being one of the best character writers in Hollywood. So he's been very collaborative, and I'm not shy in telling him what I think, and he'll say, 'I disagree with you' or whatever, but it's been a really terrific process so far.
