The remake will remind people of his place in monster canon.

I presume thats because unlike Frankenstein and Dracula the Wolfman had no literary origins - though this didn't stop a (kinda) remake of the Mummy by Hammer.

I, too, saw the trailer when I went to see Inglorious Basterds and I was shocked at how badly it made me want to see the film. I think it looks like a blast and I think that if I ignore the fact that it's a remake and just pretend that it's a period piece/werewolf movie I'll be all set... Though I still don't think that Del Toro can pull it off, honestly. He's really not that great an actor.

Wolfman
 
Anyone seen the trailer to the wolfman? I thought it looked good. had a real classical look to it. Which in my opinion is a welcome step away from the emo infested rubbish. That has been infecting such great movie monster in the past few years.

After seeing some of the screens, and reading a little on it, I'm not as against this. I'm just worried that this may become another Van Helsing, and not contain as much of the original horror and premise of the 1941 classic.

Plagued by production problems from beginning to end, Joe Johnston’s adaptation of The Wolfman is coming to a theater near you on February 12, 2010.

However, the chances of you liking it went up a little today as Universal happily announced that an R-rated cut of the film has won out over a tamer PG-13 version. The Wolfman has finally received a rating from the MPAA, and has been rated ‘R’ for “bloody horror, violence and gore.”

Of course, an R-rating is no stamp of quality, but the difference in ratings means that instead of an action movie which a PG-13 rating implies, The Wolfman is going to get to be a longer, bloodier, and gorier horror film. Now let’s just hope it’s a good one.

The Wolfman stars Benecio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Lawrence Talbot is a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father, Talbot sets out to find his brother…and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.

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.
