Earlier today, 20th Century Fox finally lifted the lid on the very first trailer for James Mangold’s Logan and the internet went wild. Understandably so, as it was a well-executed tease for the upcoming flick, with the red band version promising that the film has put its R-rating to good use. Now, we have yet another version of the preview to feast our eyes on, this time in black and white.
The different color scheme comes from the fact that the film’s marketing campaign unleashed a number of black and white photos leading up to the release of the first trailer. Not to mention that the teaser lacked color as well. As such, many were left wondering whether or not the entire movie would be in black and white, or at least, if parts of it would be. Obviously, that isn’t the case, but this new fan-made edit shows us what it could have looked like if Fox had decided to go that route.
While it’s undoubtedly cool to see the scenes play out in black and white, Fox choosing to release the film into theatres with color is probably the better choice. That being said, we’d love to see a full black and white version on the eventual Blu-ray release, and we’re probably not the only ones.
Logan will claw its way into theatres on March 3rd, 2017 and in addition to Jackman, the film also stars Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant, Patrick Stewart and Eriq La Salle.
