James Mangold Takes A Cue From 'Mad Max: Fury Road' And Is Working On A Black-And-White Version Of 'Logan'
Logan isn't even out yet and people are already asking for alternate cuts of the movie. After George Miller released a black-and-white version of Mad Max: Fury Road it's not that surprising that this could become a trend moving forward. As someone who has seen the movie the aesthetic for Logan is not diminished by having color but a black-and-white version of the movie would fit with the overall feeling the movie is going for. There were a lot of early shots from the movie that were in black-and-white which has sent the internet buzzing about another brutal action movie shown in black-and-white. Director James Mangold replied to a fans inquiry about the possibility and he replied that he's "working on it".
This is by no means a confirmation that this is happening but with Logan tracking for a $170 million dollar worldwide opening this weekend and the near critical acclaim it's likely that Mangold could get 20th Century Fox to release a black-and-white version of the movie if he really wanted. If the movie goes on to make Deadpool money he could probably ask for anything he wanted and they'd give it to him.
Logan will be released on March 3, 2017. Read my review here
