Who is james mangold

True to this, Mangold revealed that the first scene shot for the movie was Logan, Xavier and Laura in the elevator in the casino. The VFX was achieved with a limited budget by shaking the camera and then using a shake-reduction app to create the smeared look of the image. The previz for the psionic attack at the casino. The dinner scene where Xavier talks about being a teacher and Logan as a poor student was improvised by Jackman and Stewart.

The shooting is another draft. My greatest asset is my great actors. If they cannot play, I only get half what they offer. Mangold said that the day he and Frank solved the story of the movie was the day they came up with the idea to have X-Men comics exist in the world of the movie as exaggerated stories that Logan hated. I love the mythic values of them. But I hate they often reaffirm an idea that God will save us. That we as mortals bear no responsibility for our lives.
