X-Men movie: Wolverine to attack wasteful filmmaking

It's a good thing Wolverine's attitude towards the environment isn't as hostile as his attitude towards henchmen. Otherwise, he might do some serious damage to New Zealand's pristine forests during the filming of his upcoming movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Producers of the flick have announced a partnership with an environmental firm to help track and reduce the film's impact on New Zealand's famously unspoiled environment.

Project "green screen" is an attempt to set up a template to help movie productions in New Zealand maximize their recycling and minimize the wasteful methods that the film industry is infamous for. Moving a small city's worth of actors, crew, and scenery back and forth across a tropical rain forest is just not a very eco-friendly enterprise.

With project "green screen" on the job though, workshops, catering practices and sets will all be run in order to conserve resources. Plus, rumor has it that Hugh Jackman is an environmentalist at heart -- since he was sighted in Sydney carrying a reusable grocery bag.
