The Wolfman: First Preview

The Wolfman is a remake of the 1941 classic of the same name, it's directed by Joe Johnston and stars Benicio del Toro as the wolfman, with Anythony Hopkins will likely play the wolf man's father. After originally scheduled for February 13, 2009 (a Friday the 13th) release, the film now set for release on April 3, 2009.

Plot: Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline has come to investigate.

As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself, one he never imagined existed.

Trivia:
# Mark Romanek was going to direct but left the project over budget disagreements.

# 'Benicio del Toro''s Wolfman make-up took approximately 3 hours to apply and 1 hour to remove.

# When Rick Baker, who became a makeup artist because of The Wolf Man (1941), heard that this film was being made he called Universal to tell them he had to do the makeup. Universal told him that he was their one and only choice but that they didn't have anyway of making contact with him.

# Budgeted at estimated $100-million.

# The film will supposedly have new twists and characters to take advantage of today's new visual effects technology.
