Today Universal Pictures provided Bloody-Disgusting with the FULL synopsis for their remake of The Wolfman, which is currently lensing for release on April 3, 2009. Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving and Art Malik all star in the film, which is now helmed by Joe Johnston. Read on for the plot details.
Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar® winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins), 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 (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.
yeah, i dont see anywhere in the synopsis that Larry is bit. it sounds more like the talent lay dormant inside him (kinda like ang lee's hulk). i hope i'm reading that wrong
Sounds interesting, the old story shouldnt be exactly duplicated anyway, a fresh take on the Wolf Man is something I look forward to, mainly because of the great great casting of two real great actors, sounds interesting and cant wait to see it.

It sounds a little like the first draft screenplay of the original. My guess is that this synopsis is the first half and the second half is Larry as a werewolf. If Hopkins and Del Toro are in it, then it will probably be a good movie. Probably....
Sounds similar to a Incredible Hulk type movie. Might just have to check this one out.
