Hugh Jackman at Wolverine Premiere

Wolverine shunned every hope of glitzy glam city of Los Angeles and premiered at the small city of Tempe, Arizona after the city won a competition.  There was a form on the film’s official website, which the fans were expected to fill up. Tempe is a desert suburb of Phoenix with a population under 200,000. The city won the competition after a maximum number of entries were filled up by the residents from the city.

I love this place. I’m moving here“, declared lead actor Hugh Jackman roaring into the event’s venue on a bike. The rest of United States will now have to wait for  X- Men Origins: Wolverine till its release on May 1st. The film will be released in UK of April 29th.

Tempe, a small town in Arizona has beat big city finalists like  Las Vegas and Philadelphia and small town like Zelienople, Pennsylvania. There were 9 finalist who took part in the contest. Fans had been waiting outside the theater since 3 in the morning. Jackman praised the allegiance of ticket-holding who had to wait for hours to bag one and to catch a sight of Jackman.

No one in LA is sleeping out overnight when they already had tickets to the best seat in the house“, Jackman said, overwhelmed with the dedication of his fans. Other stars of the film including Liev Schrieber, William and Lynn Collins also joined Jackman for the premiere of the film.

When Tempe had rejoiced the celebrity sighting and premiere of the film, Mexico will have to wait for the film’s release. The outbreak of swine flu in the country has resulted in a delay of the film’s release in the country.
