Romanek's 'The Wolfman' Remake Gets Bumped...

Bad news this afternoon as we've just received word that Universal Studios has bumped their The Wolfman remake from November of 2008 to an undetermined 2009. Like the 1941 original that starred Lon Chaney Jr., Mark Romanek's vision will be set in Victorian England. Benicio Del Toro will play a man who returns from America to his ancestral homeland, gets bitten by a werewolf and begins a hairy moonlight existence.

Yeah, this sucks. As an aside, how is remaking a movie "messing with" it? I've seen Gus Van Sant's PSYCHO, but it hasn't changed my opinion of Hitchcock's original masterpiece. Seen Coppola's DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN, but neither have affected my love for the Universal classics or the great Hammer versions. Isn't it time we dispensed with the ridiculous, illogical notion that a remake somehow hurts the original?

Uh, the original wasn't "set in Victorian England." England, yes. Victorian England, no.
