I'm very excited about this remake. With Del Toro in the lead though, I think they're going in a different direction from Chaney's childlike innocence. Del Toro is almost as menacing as The Wolf Man without makeup!

I'm hoping we can understand him when he (Del Toro) speaks.

Wolf Man Remake in Jeopardy??
Caught wind of a nasty rumor flying around the web that the writer's strike could either delay or flat out derail the Wolf Man remake. Don't know if anyone else has seen this. I blogged about it last night:

If the writers strike does affect the Wolf Man remake, I can assure you it won't be permanent. It would be a matter of time until it got picked up again.

Director leaves "The Wolfman"
News
Director Drops Out of The Wolfman Source: Variety January 29, 2008 Director Mark Romanek has dropped out of Universal Pictures The Wolfman, reports Variety. The trade says Romanek exited the film late Monday night over creative differences. The film has long had Benicio Del Toro aboard to play the werewolf, and the studio just set Emily Blunt (Charlie Wilson's War) and Anthony Hopkins to play the other leads in the film. Universal maintains that Romanek left the project in strong shape and that it expects to set another director quickly. No word on whether a Feb. 18 start date will remain in place. The studio is targeting a February 13, 2009 release date for the horror flick. |

January 30, 2008
No sooner was it reported yesterday that filmmaker Mark Romanek had exited Universal's remake of The Wolf Man -- starring Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, and Emily Blunt -- than rumors surfaced about who might replace him in the director's chair. Romanek's departure left the re-imagining of the 1941 horror classic in a lurch given its March start date. Variety reported yesterday that a replacement would be hired by week's end, and now Ain't It Cool News claims that they have heard of two possible contenders that the studio is considering for the job. According to AICN, Universal is eyeing Breck Eisner (Sahara) and Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) as possible replacements. Eisner has been developing a remake of The Creature From the Black Lagoon, while Reeves is preoccupied with a possible Cloverfield sequel as well as an Invisible Woman project for producer J.J. Abrams. Eisner may have the inside track since the long-gestating Creature From the Black Lagoon is, like The Wolf Man, based at Universal.

Who Will Direct The Wolfman? Source: The Hollywood Reporter February 1, 2008 According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal Pictures is wasting no time in its search for a director for The Wolfman following Mark Romanek's exit from the period horror movie. Brett Ratner, Frank Darabont, James Mangold and Joe Johnston have either met with the studio and producers or are expected to do so in the coming days. Bill Condon also is a helmer the studio is keen on. The trade says the biggest challenge the studio faces is its inability to work on the script because of the writers strike. Any filmmaker coming on board takes on a locked script, overseen by Romanek over several years, and many directors want to put their stamp on it. Martin Campbell is one helmer who was interested, but he is no longer in contention. Many on the list are writer-directors, but Ratner is not. The director, who met with the studio Wednesday, is emerging as the strongest contender because of the fact that he has experience in taking over a project (X-Men: The Last Stand) that has lost a director late in the game. The studio is expected to find its man next week for the film, which has a dedicated March start date. |
