Wolfman Producer Discusses Remake
FILED UNDER: Interviews. Movies, People.
The Wolfman, a remake of the 1941 Universal classic, is slated for a 2009 release, with Benicio Del Toro assuming the role of the fanged lead. So many variations of the Wolfman have been made over the years that I have to wonder if anyone still cares, but so far, this new attempt is shaping up to be something special.
It certainly helps that the makeup is being created by the legendary Rick Baker, who has worked on everything from Star Wars to Hellboy and, yes, An American Werewolf in London. On the other hand, this new version of The Wolfman is directed by Joe Johnston whose filmography is hit and miss, including films like Hidalgo (miss) and Jurassic Park III (hit). Hardcore geeks will know Joe best as a visual effects genius, lending his talents to the original Star Wars Trilogy and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
One thing is for sure: with Johnston and Baker involved, The Wolfman is bound to look great.
