Marvel at this: X-Men Origins: Wolverine will be an environmentally friendly production. This fourth movie based on the Marvel Comics characters is currently being filmed in New Zealand, and the producers have agreed to work with the local Queenstown Lakes District Council on a "green screen" initiative.
As part of the project, the council will do an environmental impact assessment of the sets and find ways to maximize recycling efforts. A "green screen" template will then be produced for use in determining the resource consent conditions of future productions in the area.
And if that isn't good news enough, rumor has it that Friday Night Lights hottie Taylor Kitsch may be playing the role of Gambit in the film. Oh, Riggins, you can tackle my heart any day!

In any case, it's about time that they include Gambit. But can Taylor Kitsch can pull off a Cajun accent?

New Zealand is the place to watch on enviro revolution and local everything. Until a few years ago you got your name on a list to get a used car shipped in from elsewhere.
They have every reason to go greener and greener and ever more local with ag and industry. My sister just moved there recently, I'm hoping to visit sometime soon.
