But are you aware of the fact that there was someone else who had also signed to play Wolverine?  So, this actor that we are talking about is Dougray Scott who has appeared in many popular movies including Mission Impossible 2.

It seems that the tides might finally be changing though. Earlier this year we got ‘Alien in the sea’ sci-fi horror Underwater, and now comes Sea Fever, a film whose elevator pitch is basically ‘The Thing on a boat’.

X-Men’s Wolverine could have looked very different if it weren’t for Tom Cruise, who is apparently the reason the role went to Hugh Jackman instead of Dougray Scott.

After a successful and lucrative career in the city, David Tait changed the course of his life to become a charity ambassador, climbing Everest no less than five times and raising millions for children’s charities. Behind that lay a deeply personal secret – the horrific abuse he suffered as a boy at the hands of strangers and, most shockingly of all, his own father. That side of his life comes to screens this Friday with the release of Sulphur And White.
