Well, THE WOLFMAN must have read me talking up the praises of SHUTTER ISLAND just an article ago, because it has just bombarded us with seven new clips! It comes out one week before SHUTTER ISLAND so it shall be an interesting box office battle to watch…
You can check out one of the clips below, which features Hugo Weaving’s character “Aberline” chasing The Wolfman through the streets of London. The production design and cinematography look top-notch, but I think the jury is still out on The Wolfman himself. Will take seeing the flick on the big-screen to render a fair verdict.
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.
To watch the rest of the videos, head on over to our special WOLFMAN video section. The film itself comes out on FEBRUARY 12th. At least, that’s what the plan is…
