So when I first heard about this remake, I was utterly appalled and against it. The original Wolf Man creeped me out when I was younger and it definitely set a tone and defined werewolf movies as we see today. On top of that, I was horrified at the choice of Benecio Del Toro as our hero. He does not impress me as an actor and I hardly think that he is a good replacement for Chaney.
HOWEVER
At a viewing of Inglourious Basterds today, I saw the trailer for The Wolf Man for the first time and good GOD does it look like a nice period piece monster slaughter-fest. Looks like a lot of fun. I've decided that I'm going to ignore the fact that it's a remake and just enjoy it. I think it could prove to be a blast.
