We've got the full story crunch for Universal's
The Wolfman!
Seven and
Sleepy Hollow scribe Andrew Kevin Walker laid the foundation by supplying the script. Later, David Self (
Road to Perdition) came in for a rewrite. Based on the synopsis below, it appears Walker's story is intact. We're just not sure exactly what contributions Self made to the material. Look for the film in theaters on April 3, 2009 from director Joe Johnston.
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.

sounds like it could be good, maybe better than most horror movie crap coming out.

I reckon this will be really good, i've never seen the original but i'm really looking forward to this!

At least it's close to the original. It could easily have been a bunch of horny teenagers on a camping trip. It sounds like they're setting it up to have more action. I wonder if Bela the Gypsy and his creepy mother are in it?

Inspector Aberline from the Jack the Ripper case?

at last something in it with a bit of respect for the original, as well as the viewer's intelligence!
and yess, fred aberline from jack the ripper. i call that a splendid thought from the script writer. saw the photo from universal last night and said to myself "at last!" rick baker has outdone himself. i hope that universal will allow baker to do frankenstein, as he's always wanted, possibly in a respectable remake of "frankenstein meets the wolf man". anyhow this is a good sign that hollywood is capable of something more than ruining the classics.

This movie will do for werewolves what "Interview with a Vampire" did for vampire movies. This will bring the werewolf genre back in full force!
