Here are excerpts of what he told Ain't It Cool News:
I have read a lot of your online comments regarding the footage that we are currently shooting and I share your passion for the Wolverine character and the movie - I owe it all to you guys!
[X-Men Origins: Wolverine] will be badass and hopefully meet all of your expectations. I am stoked by the positive response to the teaser, which clearly reflects the tone and scope of the film. If you like that, we've got much more in store!

X:Men Origins: Wolverine comes on May 1.
It's not easy being Wolverine.
In this photo from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, the character emerges from a vat after he goes through an unusual skeleton coating procedure; it's all part of Wolverine's shady past, which is traced thoroughly in the 2009 summer blockbuster.
As for making the movie, producer Lauren Shuler Donner said this water-tank scene - where Hugh Jackman's character is injected with a substance that makes him impenetrable - wasn't merely make believe.
''We tortured the man," Donner told the magazine. "He is an animal. A normal person could not do that.''
Earlier today, we published the first movie trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Ready to get even more excited for X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
Here is the movie's first trailer.
The super hero thriller opens on May 1. It stars Hugh Jackman in the title role and tells the story of Wolverine's violent and romantic past, his unique relationship with Victor Creed and the ominous Weapon X program...
Hugh Jackman is receiving the bulk of attention for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Which makes sense. The actor does play Wolverine and all.
But an antagonist is only as good as his enemy. And that role is played by Liev Schreiber in the upcoming blockbuster.
Below, the actor talks about the experience of filming the movie and portraying Sabertooth:
It was insanely fun. I felt again, I felt very self conscious initially because I knew fans didn't like that idea of me playing Sabertooth. I think I am perceived as a kind of urbane New York … I don't know maybe I've done too many movies with Jewish characters [laughter] and they're like "It's like Woody Allen playing Sabertooth" and I'm like no actually it's not. I'm 6 foot 3 I'm bigger than Hugh Jackman [laughter] I can do this.
In next year's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the movie's title character seeks revenge against Victor Creed for the death of his girlfriend.
Here's a look at Hugh Jackman in the role that made him famous, along with Liev Schreiber as the man that would eventually become Sabretooth...
Hugh Jackman is getting a bit ahead of himself.
But the actor spoke to MTV last week about a possible sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He knows where he'd want the film to be based.
"The most intriguing thing to me was the Japan story. I love the Japan story," Jackman said. "I wanted to do the Japan story from around X-Men 2... Can you just picture Wolverine in Japan with the triads and the samurai? It's just genius. Comedically and dramatically, I thought, 'This is awesome'!"
Writers Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's 1982 series about the character was largely set in Japan character; reportedly, the filmmakers considered that location for the first Wolverine film, before saving the idea for a sequel.
"But how can you do that before you explain his origins?" Jackman asked. "If we tried to mix the origin and Japan together, it wouldn't do justice to either. So you can tell by the answer where I'd like it to go."
