Universal is planning a remake of The Wolf Man starring Benicio Del Toro, with a script by Andrew Kevin Walker, of 8mm, Seven, and Sleepy Hollow fame. Benicio’s normal look lends one to believe he wakes up every morning face down on his front lawn, having collapsed after a night’s worth of binge drinking, so you might say he’s the perfect choice to play the lupine man. And with Andrew Kevin Walker helming the script you know it will be something qute disturbing….okay, so Sleepy Hollow was more fun than anything else, but you get my drift.
More on this project as it develops.
Why? Does anyone really care about the Wolf Man? Universal sucks.
