Yeah this sounds promising. Hopefully they don't follow the path of those god-awful Howling sequels.

The hell is this?
Either do a proper sequel or don't do one at all. Preferably with Hugo Weaving as the werewolf and a scene in which he mauls a pack of shapeshifting wolf tweens and their droopy human girlfriends.

"The 2010 Joe Johnston-directed remake starring Benicio Del Toro took in $140 million worldwide. Not all that impressive." the article says. 140 bucks not that impressive?! Why spend 150 million on these films? Lloyd Kaufman made 'Poultrygeist' for about $ 450.000,- and it's one of the best films I've seen this decade! On another note, good to see the old homevideo department is still alive ;D. That's good news right? If DVD sales make super important studio executives happy, then we may get more of the same (from studio archives or otherwise). The day worldwide internet distribution (without cutting out the creator/producer) becomes a reality I will be very happy  . This is just the sort of upcoming film project that would be great for an internet release.

I admire your optimism Hawkeye but there are a number of ways this could go so very wrong...

Great! At least they are going to let this one die a horrible death in a format where it can die an honorable horrible death.
Making a cool cult movie for a cult audience on DVD and failing is okay. Making a cool cult movie for the masses and failing, losing millions in the process, just isn't game.

$140 million dollars worldwide and that's not impressive! FFS. I'd be pretty impressed if i made anything that made that much money. I know in Hollywood terms it bugger all but still. It could have been a lot worse, it could have only made $140 dollars. Then they'd have a reason to complain!

Depends on the film's budget, combined with the budget of the advertising campaign.
Wolfman wasn't perfect by any means, but despite its flaws it was rather unfairly bashed quire a bit. I'm not saying that some of the critics didn't have perfectly valid complaints, but alot of it was blown way out of proportion. Again, I think its worth mention that it was the best werewolf movie to come out in theaters in the past decade or so.

Personally I dont really care what they do with this one. They got my hopes really high with the first one making me drag my friends, who aren't nearly as big of werewolf freaks as me and who know i usually hate remakes, with me to see it and i was embarrassed. Normally I would just make fun of it with my friends like we usually do when we watch remakes, but I could only sit there in shock as my mind was being torn apart. My Expectations are already low due to the first one so it will either be up to par or surprise me.

Perhaps it's a cunning plot. That they'd always intended on making 1st a bad one, then a good one.
