Yahoo has this new behind-the-scenes featurette for THE WOLFMAN starring Benicio Del Toro who’s explaining the father-son relationship which the classic films didn’t explore, the privilege of working with the great Anthony Hopkins, my favorite part is when the wolf viciously attacks him, it is glorious isn’t it?!… Read the rest of this entry »
I had high hopes for THE WOLFMAN, the anticipation of seeing Oscar winning make up artist Rick Baker’s latest work, the combination of talents that are Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins and Hugo Weaving. (Sorry Emily Blunt, you’re hot but actingwise, you’re not as great as those three yet), not to mention the trailer was wicked! But alas,… Read the rest of this entry »

This week, there’s a secret test screening in Hollywood and the only tagline it uses to invite audiences is that it will have you ‘howlin’ at the moon’, I’m guessing it’s THE WOLFMAN because what else could it be?!

But here’s what’s interesting, slashfilm pointed out that 2 great editors Mark Goldblatt (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) and Walter Murch (The English Patient) are re-working the film that’s been previously edited by Dennis Virkler (The Fugitive). Blogger Connelly thinks director “Joe Johnston shot a lot of coverage and has left Goldblatt and Murch options open as much as possible fashion something at least efficient and functional out of the Wolfman rushes”
