Short List of Directors for WOLFMAN

Well, AICN had it right that Brett Ratner was being considered for the job of directing The Wolfman, after Mark Romanek dropped out due to creative differences. But Ratner isn't the only one on the list, says the Hollywood Reporter. Frank Darabont, James Mangold, Bill Condon and Joe Johnston are also being considered by Universal Pictures for the new gig. Trade also says that Martin Campbell was at one time interested but is no longer in contention.

The question still remains as to who will get it. Whoever wins has to deal with a locked script due to the WGA strike so that may play a part in the final decision. Universal says the new director will be in place by next week so expect an announcement soon. Production is set to begin in March.
