Ooooooh! If he did a remake of Frankenstein, I definitely go to see it.

[The Spangler]

 Maybe they can channel Curt Siodmak.

  All kidding aside, I'm more worried about the script!

Wolf Man news on MSN.

Nothing new, but it's a good sign for Lawrence Talbot, to see the story in a mainstream forum.
Also, I like that Van Helsing is used as a gauge (of what NOT to do)

Joe Johnston (JUMANJI, OCTOBER SKY, THE ROCKETEER, HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS) is going to direct THE WOLF MAN. He's a solid if unspectacular choice, and he'll make a good movie. (He's somewhat old-fashioned, which, with this material, is a definite plus!)


Edited to add: Oops-- I overlooked Capthendry's earlier post announcing Johnston!

[The Phantom Creep]

Well I love the Rocketeer, hey it's got Rondo in it!! Hope he does a good job.

"Scoop" Hendry beat me to it already.  And how did I overlook it?  Johnston is better than what I was afraid we'd get.  Frankly I think he's better than his predecessor.

I just checked out IMDB. This movie is supposed to be due out in 2009. With Joe Johnston as the director, I know we're in for quite a ride.

Hey everyone! Just got off the Sci Fi Channel website and they have reported that Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, V For Vendetta, The Lord Of The Rings) has been hired to play the role of Det. Aberline in the Wolfman remake.  They also reported that the new release date is Feb.13th 2009.

[SpankRamen]

Cool! February 13th of next year. Nice to have an actual date.

[Cameron]

Keep Roland Emmerich away at all costs!

I don't know if anyone has seen these yet but EW online has a 2 page interview with Rick Baker and 2 pictures of DelToro in FULL MAKEUP. I'm pleased.
