THE WOLFMAN Begins Filming Feb 8

What`s hilarious, is that I can`t tell if Del Toro is in make-up or not.

I thought that they started filming this movie LAST February. I remember seeing pics of Del Toro as the pic here and it was for this movie. Odd.

You have it a pretty decent "news" memory, DeadgunSlinger..

On Feb 8, 2007, Mark Romanek was announced as directing the film. So production will roll officially a year to the day.

It was initially planned to begin filming in the fall but production stalled due to Del Toro's schedule on wrapping up some projects.

And Pony, I have the same reaction towards the photo. Dude looks sinister enough without the makeup..

Call me crazy, but that picture makes me think of Jack Nicholson in "Wolf" - maybe because it was just on the tele so it's fresh in my memory.

A favor: can we stop repeating the false assertion that the original 1949 WOLF MAN took place in "Victorian England." That was WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935) with Henry Hull. THE WOLF MAN took place in (then) contemporary Wales.

The remake may indeed take place in Victorian London, but the original Lon Chaney version did not--despite what every single article on this movie keeps stating! (I'm starting to think that I'm the only person who has actually watched the old version.)

Kinda looks like Wolverine.

I think that pic may be of him in mid transformation. That is what I am hoping at least. I am hoping that this movie does the full on transformation of the werewolf beast form. Like in "An American Werewolf in London" or the RPG "Werewolf: The Apocalypse". That would be simply awesome. Anything less for me would just be WIMPY and WEAK SAUUCE.

Gregcox, I take plot summaries from the official press releases or the studio's PR sites. That's what the studio has in their press releases for this film. Understand that you want to argue the point but until they come up with a different "official" plot concept, that's going to remain the same.

I figured this was in some sort of press release, since I've seen the same error on other sites. And certainly you have to rely on Universal for the plot of the NEW movie, but could it hurt to do a little fact-checking on the 1941 flick? Just watch the movie.

Heh, Greg..I understand what you are saying here. I've seen the Lon Chaney classic tale so I know where it's based out of. I'm a horror fantatic.

I know what you're saying..We just don't write up or edit plot summaries given by the official sources.

If it helps, I believe Universal means..

"It will be like 1941 classic...only the new film will be set in Victoria England"

I can add an "only the" into the plot concept but I can tell you a lot of us don't like doing that. Check out Comingsoon's database entry for The Wolfman..or any number of other sites. We don't like to touch plot concepts or make up plot summaries. We just copy the exact wording from the studio's official site or press release. If they have it worded strange, that's something they should fix in their statements first before we touch it.

In a lot of cases, we do send them notes on errors.

Remember that press release about Spock's mother being human over at Variety a few months back..A lot of editors sent in the error there and wanted clarification before we published that information. This Wolfman one just happens to be a point which nobody has bothered telling Universal to correct their press releases..Because like the Trek snafu, it's a wording issue.

I'll change it for you though..Just letting you know my thoughts on the whole "plot concept" and "plot summary" deal. I had a few comments a few months ago telling me about how a plot was wrong for the subject matter at hand..Had to explain the same thing..The plot may be different than the source material (book, in that case) but that's the plot given to us.
