"Wolfman" Reboot Get's Official Title & DVD Release With Trailer Plus Images!

Universal's small direct-2-DVD reboot of the 1940's "The Wolfman" and the 2010 remake has finally been given an official title, release date and a first wee teaser trailer. I personally think that this is a pointless reboot now. I first I thought why not, let's see what they can do now. Then I found out it wasn't a full reboot of the 2010 well reboot/remake, but more of a remake of the lost film, "The Wolfman's Revenge" from 1947. It's more of a hunting film than a classic werewolf horror. It's pointless to make a horror franchise and reboot it into an action type werewolf thriller as it says in the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qyIZN-43NM
I for one was quite happy with the Benicio Del Toro remake/reboot. It was a true horror gore fest. Of course it was more extreme than the 40's classic, but it was a brilliant new version of the Universal classic. This is nothing like any of "The Wolfman" films, past or present. It's like "The Wolfman" is "Alien" and this is "Aliens", a sequel, but more action-packed than horror..........kind of like the "Underworld" franchise. It's try too hard to be a stand-alone werewolf "Underworld" based film. And the main guys trying to be the Van Helsing of the film. Not happening people.

Overall, it looks ok, but not great. It's more of a TV movie, like something on SyFy, shite but you want to watch it just so you can say that you've seen it now. Not a good sign though! I just hope Universal go back to the drawing board and make a true werewolf classic again like the old days or the 2010 remake/reboot.

"The Wolfman" Get's The Hollywood Reboot!

Here they go again, with another bloody reboot. I like some of the reboots that Hollywood are doing, but there are some which you think "fucking hell!!!" and this might actually be one of them.
Universal have announced that they have plans to reboot "The Wolfman", but not the 2009 gory remake, but a reboot to the 1940's original. According to Moviehole.net, Universal are going for the title, "Werewolf" rather than the previous title for the original and remake.
At first, Universal (unknown to me) hired a writer to pen a script for a sequel, "The Wolfman's Revenge", to Joe Johnson's remake, but now it seems they are planning to rewrite that script and TOTALLY reboot it. I loved the 2010 remake. I thought Johnson would consider a sequel of some sort, with Hugo Weaving's character, who got bitten at the end and lived for those who haven't seen it yet.
I just hope they keep the werewolf looking realistic, because that was the good thing about the remake. The only CGI used was for some of the movement and some of the transformation. The rest was all Del Toro.........well and his stuntman (obviously).
Universal are planning to begin casting soon, as the reboot script is supposedly nearly complete. They also plan to begin filming this Fall, which is Autumn to us.
