I'm really hoping they don't overdo it, to try to "be better than the origional"

Hugo Weaving aka Agent Smith has joined the cast, as a detective hunting the Wolf Man. Works for me...

Apparently they've just had David Self do a rewrite on the script. He wrote Road to Perdition, Thirteen Days, and the original and alledged great script for The Haunting remake (which the studio and Jan De Bont then bollocksed up).
Hopefully he'll not make a hash of it. Just reminds me of my favourite Hollywood studio exec quote:
"The script is perfect. Who can we get to rewrite it?"

I wonder how/if they'll do the "mark of the beast" ie the pentagram that marked the original wolfman.
Lets hope they keep the quote about the wolfbane bloom, as I always rather liked that phrase.

I hope so. I always enjoyed Talbot's reaction when he saw the mark on his sweet heart. PLus i'll be really annoyed if they remove the gypsies warning.

Post copied over from IMDB message board:
"Maleeva the Gypsy Woman will be played by Geraldine Chaplin! (Age 64.)
She told that to Spanish press on February 29 '08:
"I have rarely worked in large productions," said the actress, who, however, has accepted a role in the film "The Wolfman", in which Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins are also involved, which will begin filming "the day after tomorrow" and in which she portrays "an old gypsy."
Chaplin admitted to be "trembling with nerves" because of this film, as this type of film, she said, "is something else."
"I feel more comfortable in the more intimate and independent films. The other is like a machine to make sausages or something like that," said the actress who played the leading role in Doctor Zhivago (1965). "
So, another seasoned actress in the film is always good news, as is the fact that apparently filming would have started yesterday.

Kewl, I heard they were supposed to start filming this month. That's good news. But May 2009 is so very far away ...

Might I ask where the info of a May release date came from? I've read nothing about it myself, or is this just the UK date?

May is the UK release date. The US release date is still in February. Stoopid wait. Might fly to the US so I can watch it early.

I gather that many, if not most, of you here are UK-dwellers. Posts on IMDB indicate that the film is going to be filming in and around Chatsworth and Monsel Head in Derbyshire for the next couple weeks. At least one poster over there indicates he got stuck in traffic on the 4th due to their filming.
