"I am what they say I am, a monster!" - THE WOLFMAN trailer online!
Comic Con trailer for Universal's horror remake now online!
It takes longer than you might think for the trailer of Joe Johnston's remake of The Wolfman to grab you but once it does, your intoxicated by gorgeous Victorian horror images culminating in the creepiest looking but very humanized werewolf since John Landis' An American Werewolf in London.
Benicio Del Toro looks as world weary as Lon Chaney Jr. ever did, Anthony Hopkins just like Claude Rains before him, absolutely belongs in this genre like no other actor working today. I dare say if they remade Frankenstein and Dracula again, they would find a place for him. Hugo Weaving I can't believe is making his first horror movie here. Johnston is typically a very modest film-maker, it is a shame that the likes of Mangold, Landis, Cronenberg and of course the original helmer Mark Romanek passed or were overlooked for the project. But he has genuinely never made a movie I didn't like in some part (nor have I ever loved or hated) and that's how I feel about this trailer...Though we really need to see this in HD - and fast, before we can make a fully informed opinion.
The Wolfman opens April 3rd 2009, hopefully with a new Blu-Ray transfer of the original movie, please?
