Problems on the Wolverine movie set

Jeffrey Wells over on Hollywood Elsewhere has some interesting news on the state of play on the Wolverine movie. Looks as if the studio people are trying to make it kiddy friendly which beggars belief after the success of The Dark Knight and the whole character if Logan. Apparantly there is some conflict with Gavin Hood (director) and Fox Studios. Here's some snippets:

"There was/is a huge Wolverine set being recently used. I'm not even sure which lot it was built on, but the look or mood of the set is, according to a source who was told Hood's view of things, supposed to be on the dark, dinghy and somber side. I only know what I was told, but the basics are that Hood was away from the set for whatever reason (shooting something else, taking a day or two off), and when he returned to the big somber set he was shocked to find that it had been repainted top to bottom on Tom Rothman's (Fox CEO) orders. The murky-scuzzy vibe was gone, and a brighter and less downish look had taken its place."
