Some good news has hit for all you arrow-heads across the pond, as Joe Johnston’s larger-than-life retelling of classic horror film THE WOLFMAN now has a legitimate theatrical release date.
And that date is February 12, 2010 (2 days after it debuts stateside).
I’m not sure what’s more exciting about this project, the fact that Benicio Del Toro gets to lock horns with screen legend Anthony Hopkins, or the fact the script is inked by SE7EN and SLEEPY HOLLOW scribe Andrew Kevin Walker. Or the prospect of seeing all-world makeup guru Rick Baker’s work (remember, it was the 1941 Lon Chaney version of THE WOLF MAN that inspired Baker to get in the biz in the first place).
With support from Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving, Geraldine Chaplin, Kiran Shah, Art Malik, Elizabeth Croft, and Branko Tomovic – The 2010 WOLFMAN finds:
Lawrence Talbot, 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. 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.
THE WOLFMAN is a Universal production.
