An FX Original Series

Based on the Marvel Comic

LOGAN

Behind the Scenes

LOGAN is a series based on the Marvel Comics Character "Wolverine." As with

any show adapting a character you want to establish a world and tell a story. Each character

has a unique story that makes them popular in the public eye, with Wolverine it's Tragedy and

Love. He's loved only few and his actions for those he loves is nothing short of interesting.

LOGAN is the story of a wounded Lover alone in the world without purpose, forced into

carving his own. This finds a Wolverine open for the world to disect and open for this series

to inform and play.

The title of the Series is "LOGAN" both for it's simplistic nature and an Homage

to James Mangold's film. This title says we're taking the material as Serious as the film did,

but this isn't the same Logan as the Film. He's still very much Wolverine, but using his true

name as the title suggest what we're trying to accomplish with this series, a serious look

inside the character on an unparralled scale.

The Opening Credits of many series these days use an Original Score, and while

that has become a normal trait among TV now, we're shaking things up. The Opening Credits

for the Series will be set to the Peter Gabriel Cover of "My Body is a Cage" the song not

only thematically and tonally fits with Logan but also tells his story. A Man unable to die, to

join the love of his life in the afterlife, caging what might be his desire to die with the secrets

to his life locked away in his mind.


The Main Goal

With any series it has an ultimate main goal. Telling a story and setting a universe

for the characters to play in. With LOGAN we're playing with one of the richest mythologies

in all of comics. The Goal of the series can be simplified as "Adapt the Best Version of the

Wolverine Mythology." To help achieve this goal and to tell this story we're going to go back

to the Comics where this started and adapt Wolverine in a highly unique and inventive

manner that honors and upholds the traditions of the character and breathes new life into the

franchise. Taking inspiration from Comics by creators like Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Len

Wein, and others. The Goal is adapt a quinetessential, entertaining, and adult version of

Wolverine.

Set Up

The Series opens days after Logan has left the X-Men and effectively the

Wolverine role behind. Leaving due to a broken heart when Jean Grey, a.k.a. Marvel Girl

Married Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops. The series finds Logan searching for his place in the

world finding himself isolated from the X-Men. With that he goes back on the last mission he

had, his memories. Dragged into a world of espionage and government Secrets Logan begins

to unravel the journey that lead to him becoming the Wolverine.

To tell this high octane story will require a particular set of rules. Rules made so

the story can be elevated to it's full potential. Adding an element of work and challeng for the

story of Logan helps the series delve deeper into the character's psyche and into the

mysterious past beset by him. These will be referred to as...


Rules for the Road...

1. Wolverine is the only X-Men too appear in the Series. While this is a series set in that

World, Wolverine is seperating himself from it, and while it would be a good and cheap

ratings boost to advertise an X-Man as a Guest Star, it's best if Wolverine is the only one we

see for the duration, after all this is his show you know...

2. TV-MA is a necessary rating. Wolverine isn't a cuddly character, his stories are rooted

deeply in violence, whether it be the good kind or the bad. Putting limitations on this doesn't

help the series it hinders it. This is Wolverine, 'Logan' finally gave us a Rated R Wolverine

Film. The least we can do to honor that is a TV-MA series.

3. Non-MCU. While Wolverine as an Avenger in the MCU myself and other fans have

wanted for a decade, this story is best served on the outskirts unconnected to the MCU. This

is more to open up casting options, but also to keep from having to keep up with any

continuity beyond the continuity set up in this series.

4. Grounded, Gritty, Dark Action. This wouldn't be a Wolverine Series without heavy

doses of Action, that being said, we're dealing with Mutants and just because they can do

amazing things doesn't mean we have to take the glorified route, instead we're going to the

short realistic fights. Wolverine has metal claws, short of Sabretooth or anyone super strong,

fights don't last with those things in the game.


5. Pecking Order. A lot of movies and a lot of T.V. Series like to employ the Multiple

Villains angle, nothing wrong with that at all. To do it right it's best to have a Pecking Order.

This allows Villains and characters to act out their roles and not overstep their bounds as well

as building towards a credible threat. Wolverine has always been a fighter and any time we

put him in a fight, it better damn well be a challenge for him as a character. Whether it

challenges him to not kill some low life punk or if it challenges him to find a way to fight

harder and better.

6. Continuity is Key. Continuity is a very hard thing to establish with any Television Series,

establishing a clear cut continuity in X-Men is enough to drive someone insane. Instead we'll

settle for establishing and keeping our own continuity as to avoid any confusion in the

grander scheme. What this series will do is present the absolute beginning, middle, and end of

Wolverine's life and a clear cut continuity to it. Fans will be able to track what happens from

A to Z in his life.

7. This is a life story. This is the life of Wolverine, the comic industry's most famous

Anti-Superhero. His life is a dark, grounded affair. Wolverine, outside of his X-Men

adventures, has never went to space. He has been a Spy, a Soldier, a Mercenary, and a

Weapon and the dark tale behind that will be the focus.

8. 8, 13 Episode, Seasons. Limited time makes for maximum effort in what you have

available. 8 Seasons is a strong, honorable run. 13 Episodes is a highly reduced number that

allows actors to pursue other projects between seasons and inspires the creative team to make

sure no time is wasted in telling sprawling large scale stories.


9. Less is More, More or Less... Wolverine's past had, before 2005's Origin, been the most

popular and fun Mystery in the Marvel Universe. While Answering all the questions would be

absolutely tempting. Sometimes less is more, but we will answer some of the more juicy

questions. For quick answers: Sabretooth is Wolverine's Father. Wolverine was Born without

Bone Claws (but don't worry for fans of them, he will get them Via Mutant Growth

Hormones.) And Wolverine was born sometime around 1882-1885. We will answer the

Weapon X questions. For the reference to keep continuity together, a loose timeline will be

provided detailing Wolverine's life. Mixing in elements of the comics as well as some

original ides this will be the closes to a revealed detailed past for this incarnation of

Wolverine.

10. Super Anti-Hero. Wolverine has often been misconstrued as a Superhero, now the

classic Comic Book Fan knows, Superheroes don't kill and Wolverine has quite the body

count attributed to him. But he does good. He even wears a costume, although not so much

for self promotion and more to hide his identity (and maybe a helmet to keep from any Psyche

attacks). His costume has to be an earned moment, important for the goodwill of the fans for

this new iteration of the beloved Canuk.

Breakdowns

Breakdowns do a detailed look at the plot threads over the 8 seasons and their

resolutions. Giving an idea where things start, where they end, allowing everything inbetween

to be developed. The seasons breakdowns will conclude with an aftermath chapter for certain

characters. The breakdowns will also go over basic character profiles as we meet them.
The Life of Wolverine, Pre-X-Men:

Born to Victor Creed a.k.a. Sabretooth, James Logan Creed suffered most of his

youth under abuse, witnessing his mother being beaten before he took his beatings. Aided by

a young girl named Rose, Logan and his Mother Elizabeth escaped, and were found by a

down to the mining village after an 11 year absence. He finds His older brother has made a

Codenamed Patch, attempts to retire from the team with another member: Feral a.k.a. Silver

Fox. They leave the team on bad terms, but are deadset on living a normal life away from

killing and away from the pain they suffered in their youth. Sabretooth refuses to let Logan

escape, vowing to make sure he pays for it. Peace for Logan lasts until 1994 when Logan

comes home on his Birthday to find her beheaded and mutilated with 'Happy Birthday'

Written in blood. This causes Logan to track down Sabretooth where the two get into a

massive battle in the town and later battling again on the mountain top. Sabretooth nearly

kills Logan by tackling him off the mountain. He leaves Logan for dead joking he is about as

ferocious as a baby Wolverine. It is discovered Logan had survived, it took 3 days for his

The Hard Sell

This is a series about Logan. He's lived, he's loved, He'll die. This is that story,

told in a dark and compelling world. The story isn't for the faint of heart nor the easily

offended. It's a show that accurately demonstrates the dark and sick nature of a world that

doesn't love and doesn't care. This is the world Wolverine inhabits. Telling it honestly is as

important as treating the material with importance. This is no easy series to pitch. This is the

Wolverine, a cultural Icon. This series aims high and intends to meet the expectations set by

the character and the fanbase. This series is Wolverine... This series is... LOGAN.
