Cinematical just premiered the new one-sheet for Joe Johnston’s THE WOLFMAN, as you can see above. In a strange way, I like it because it’s pretty unconventional. That said, if I was not already interested in the film, it probably wouldn’t do a whole lot for me. I’d be all “Well, where’s the WOLFMAN, yo?!” But it’s just a teaser, so I’m cool with it. I’m sure the official poster will be all sorts of glossy and wolfy.
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 (Emily Blunt), 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 (Hugo Weaving) 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.
THE WOLFMAN comes out on February 12th.
