Just a few weeks before production was set to begin, The Wolfman's director Mark Romanek has dropped out of the project, reports Variety. The trade says it's because of "creative differences". Universal says the project is still in strong shape and expect a new director to be announced shortly.
Perhaps, this means a new release date other than Feb 13, 2009, the previous day, which might not be a bad thing as it would be going up against Friday the 13th (on a Friday the 13th date) and Pink Panther 2. Anthony Hopkins, Benicio Del Toro and newly cast Emily Blunt are set to lead the project while Rick Baker is still in charge of the updated Werewolf special effects.
