Anthony Hopkins has revealed that he may well be
playiing the father of Benecio Del Toro in Universal's
upcoming redux of "The Wolfman".

He tells Rotten Tomatoes - "There's also a chance I
may play the Wolfman in London in a movie with Benicio
Del Toro...He said he just wants to make sure that the
deal is all in but I play the Wolfman's father in
Paris. A wonderful part."

He adds that his agent has the script and is very keen
for him to play the role, although he hasn't yet read
the script for himself.

The Wolfman is a remake of the 1941 classic The Wolf
Man starring Claude Rains and Bela Lugosi. It tells
the story of a man who is bitten by a werewolf and
turns into one himself.

Oh my wolfy gods. This is very cool... I hope it turns out great of course, there's little worse than being terribly let down by what could have been a good film. Okay so there is a lot worse. Not the point.

I cannot wait.

I love these boards already.

O.O *SCREAMS* WOOOOT!!!!!   *bounce bounce bounce bounce*

Do we know whether or not if Mark Romanek (the director) has opted for simple makeup, like in the original Wolfman, or is it going to be more of a merger of man and wolf, like in more recent films?

That's sweet knowing Rick Baker is going to do the effects for the werewolf.  What's interesting though is that its pointed out that he was on duty for Cursed.  Did he do just CGI effects, what the werewolves should look like, or minor physical effects?  Either way its still cool.

.........and if the Wolf Man remake is definitely going for a real rated R horror flick...just by looking at the pic a few posts up...they found their scary guy.  Del Toro gives me the creeps o.O

Did they say why it is being pushed back? ?

Benecio Del Toro is hot lol
But yeah he will make a great Wolfman. He's got that feral look.

Rick Baker on creature effects just makes me do a giddy little dance, it does.

The Wolf Man's got a new release date.  Here's the story:

Wolfman's Hairy Valentine

That is a rather unusual release date for a werewolf movie... why not October 2009 ?

But don't you think that Valentine's Day is an unusual release date for a werewolf movie, Snap Crack 'n' Chomp..unless it's about two werewolves in love.

Ok ok ok.. I'm just saying that releasing a werewolf movie just before St.Valentine's Day is rather unusual. That's all.
