Special FX guru Rick Baker, along with stars Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt showed up at the San Diego Comic Con yesterday to unveil the first ever look at Universal Pictures' remake of The Wolfman. The film directed by Joe Johnston looks oddly reminiscent of BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, with rich, lush sets... and Anthony Hopkins. In the clip we see Benecio covered in ripped clothes, and a severed body with entrails. Emily Blunt joked about hanging out with gazelles for inspiration, while Benicio talked a bit about finding real inspiration. "We took it back to the convention of the original Lon Chaney film." WOLFMAN returns to theaters April 3, 2009.
Im excited about this remake. The old black and white Universal horrors are classics but from the photos already seen this looks the business. It has a great cast, script by the guy who wrote se7en and Joe Johnston did ok with Jurassic Park 3, i think we are going to see a good monster movie. I'm glad that it's looking like Bram Stokers Dracula, that film was cool, schlocky but cool,and it had enough blood and monster effects , hopefully this will too.
