THE WOLFMAN won't howl till November!

by Matt Holmes

It was true. Universal have yanked THE WOLFMAN from it's first quarter 08 release slot and moved it to November, where the nights are colder and the full moon falls sooner. The change has been made to help the movie's chances and so that director Joe Johnston doesn't have to rush through post-production. He can take his time for what is said to be a lengthy edit. Taking it's previous April 3rd slot will be THE FAST AND FURIOUS 4 which was originally to open in June. Also Universal have announced a unspecified 2010 (probably October or November) for the Russell Crowe led NOTTINGHAM, to be directed by Ridley Scott early next year. Variety say the weekend of June 12th looks quiet with the release of two comedies NOWHERELAND (Eddie Murphy) and THE PROPOSAL (Sandra Bullock & Ryan Reynolds) now that THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4 has moved. I just wonder if Universal fancy slotting in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS in that date, just a few weeks after the movie premiere's at Cannes.
