Cause this is THRILLER!
-
I'm just sayin'.
-
how many werewolf movies has he been involved in now? oh and its nice to see they actually changed him, based on those earlier photos i thought this was gonna go the "Wolf" route as far as makeup is concerned, wheeew.
-
Sorry Rick.
-
Looks like Lon Chaney JR. in the original Universal pictures!!
-
Hi Pete!
-
Looks like the Wolfman should.. Nicely done!
-
Jk, this looks rad. Rick Baker is rad. Being on top of Emily Blunt is rad too, not that I would know.
-
.........HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA.....Oh, I think I just sharted...
-
So is Stan Winston.
-
THATS HOT
-
Thank fuck for the old school magic of Rick Baker. Cannieeee wait for this mother fucker. Love the Chaney original and soooo wanna love this baby too. Beter not suck. Or else.
-
...this may be Benicio's equivalent of Clooney's Batman. With all due respect to Rick Baker, Benicio is too good for this silliness. (Although, I do give them props for sticking with the old-school Wolfman vibe.)
-
this movie's looking insanely badass
-
HE CREATED YODA! WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY? WHINE ON A TALKBACK!!!

The American Werewolf in London creature was far superior...
by GreatWhiteNoise
This just looks like Wolverine with a hangover (and a serious need for an orthodontist). Meh, I say.
-
Short-Snout Wolfman rules!
-
That's about as exciting and necessary as a new Frankenstein movie. Who thought this was an idea that the public was clamoring for? Come up with a f*%&ing original idea somebody!
-
did you whine on a talkback today?
-
This has an echo of the Lon Chaney Jr. Wolfman which is a huge plus. Hope the story is as promising.

What about an update of all the original Universal Monsters
by alucardvsdracula
Kinda like a Masters of Horror thing, but with a proper budget and not washed up directors (sorry Argento). You could get Romero doing Dracula (he's recently talked about the desire to Empire magazine - fact). Followed by Frankenstein, The Mummy etc, etc. Never gonna happen but here's to pissing in the wind.
-
It's what this site was made for.
-
"Even the man who's pure of heart and says his prayers at night / May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright." Oooowwhooooo!!!!! Nice choppers, Fido!
-
is god. So is this site during a 1 and a half hour Psych class.
-
Yeah, chrth already beat you to the scoop. Didn't you get the memo?
-
Hmm.
-
OW-OW-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO<p> ...huh?<p> Doesn't look bad actually... I just wonder how this film will be approached in terms of style; and if they'll be able to nail it. It could be cool if they pull off an old fashioned classic creepiness; I think the world has seen enough rip-offs and retreads of American Werewolf in London.<p> ...just as a side note, if you've never seen the making of Michael Jackson's Thriller video, check it out. I haven't seen it in something like 23 or 24 years; but when Mikey is screaming like he's in pain during the filmimg of his "transformation"... comedy gold.
-
and then everything you think you know about werewolves and vampires will change.
-
The "creature" in American Werewolf in London was a WEREWOLF. This is a WOLFMAN. Completely different. Though, I should have expected such ignorance from someone who still uses "meh".
-
i'm so glad he's actually going to be a wolfman, as opposed to an exaggerated wolf walking upright on little poochie legs. I love you, Rick Baker!
-
coming soon to a Harry Knowles penned Wolfman review near you.
-
It's Haunted Honeymoon Part II
-
Kurt Siodmak is probably rolling in his.....wait this looks....awesome.
-
..Missy Elliott looks pissed off!
-
ARRRGGG!
-
does the wolfman smoke menthols? Dave Chapelle and I do, its what makes us so boss.
-
If they had to cg a Wolfman then you know we're in a shitty state as film fans, and them as filmmakers. There are somethings that should and have to be cgi, in the age where we can use them,like The Hulk, or a dinosaur, but there are still somethings that you can do and do well with old fashioned makeup.
-
...who cares?
-
Contrarywise, Wolfman can pilot a YT1300 light cargo freighter- correlian class.
-
I think people are hating on it because they can't picture it in motion. I'm willing to bet that shit moves beautifully with his face, and not like some rubber mask. Awesome!
-
Wolfman Makeup <P> Gif Animation of Del Toro Choking out Baker....
-
But if Rattner did it... he'd be EXTREEEME! And edgy! And if Michael Bay got the project... just imagine the exploding slo-mo projectiles shooting out of his eyes.
-
The Wolfman IS a Werewolf. And you're calling people ignorant!?!?
-
Gotta bitch about something right? Otherwise, can't complain. Perfect Wolfman.
-
Rick started toying around with 3d CGI using Pixologic's Zbrush a few years back. <P> His CGI work is jaw droppingly Amazing! <P> Makeup was the right choice. This is honoring the original film, you fucktards! <P> This Makeup is insainly cool... It's an update to the Original, that Modernizes it, and yet at the same time respects the original. <P> Maybe you will see some of Rick's CGI skills in the transforming scene. Maybe not. Sometimes Practical works!
-
...looks like a decent more manish Werewolf. I like. It's a really nice testament of the original make up and beats the hell out of that shit in WOLF. <br><br>here's hoping that it's not shit, but with Del Toro in the lead, I'm more optimistic than not.
-
I just sent $100 to Moveon.org. Thanks for the tip!
-
Looks good and all, but in that picture from a while back where he was just making a face, he looked more like lon chaney jr just through expression. with all that makeup, it could be anyone in that getup.
-
My thoughts exactly. That behind-the-scenes photo look was all we needed. Otherwise, why use Del Toro?
-
Wow, that looks fucking GAY! Theres no need to really be articulate about horrid photographs like that. They are what they are, and what they are is GAY. It looks like a jonke. I wish I could him say SNAAARL. Aesthetically this is shaping up to be as fucking kick ass as Van Helsing.
-
Anyone remember when AICN actually had their own news. Like people would get info from their day jobs as P.A.'s on studio sets or however they were acquired, but it would be stuff that no one else knew about yet. These days it's all official press releases, and stuff reported from every other movie site...even Entertainment fucking Weekly scoops AICN. What the hell...Entertainment..fucking...Weekly.
-
Is that really you? It's like Walter B. all over again!
-
Now I can gnaw happily. Yeah, I get the point that it could be anyone under that makeup, but when Chaney had HIS makeup on, you couldn't tell it was him, either. This is a great throwback and yeah, looks like a WolfMAN, not a wereWOLF. Very cool.
-
“Every night when the moon is full I turn into a wolf” “Yeah, you and about twenty million other guys.”
-
Fuck ya all "bitch about a sunny day in February" motherfuckers, this is Rick fucking Baker here and you got something that's hand fucking made by a goddamned master fucking craftsman, not some tarted up completely nonexistant video game graphic, and that totally kicks fucking ass and punch a polebarn in the ass of anyone that disagrees.
-
The Wolfman is not a werewolf. That's why he's called "the Wolfman" and not "the werewolf". C'mon, get your act together.

The difference between a wolfman, and a werewolf
by Reel American Hero
A werewolf is a person that turns fully into a wolf, albeit a very large wolf or more wolf like creature at the least. A wolfman, which is pictured here, is someone that turns into a more manlike wolf creature.
-
Doesn't werewolf simply mean; man-wolf?
-
...Its less risky and more rewarding to just put out official news or other peoples news now. A good example would be how Harry reviewed Attack Of The Clones, yet now his reviewers refuse to break embargos, even to review movies this sites audience is dying to hear about, because it would jeapordise their press passes or freebies and connections. It sucks...But they still have the best talk backs in the business, and if you want the news that bad, theres plenty of better sites anyway.
-
I really do. <P>Being a Sculptor/Monster Maker. I can make a fairly good guess on how much of the makeup is Del Toro and how much is Baker. The Denture work- Mainly on the lower half is amazing. It literally pushes his lower lip forward helping to sell a more elongated snout. Look at the gift anamation I made to see what i mean.. Lips are shinny black around the edges. Just like a real dogs lips tend to be. The makeup stuff in mainly a reworked thin extended upperlip and nose piece appliance, and a replacement furrowed brow piece. Maybe there are other brow pieces used too express other emotions. <P> I don't think we are seeing it all. The lower teeth lip trick is aweome!
-
As I've said before and again and again. I never want to see another CGI werewolf again. This shows why.
-
...But the photos are GAY. We've established this. You see that ugly lighting and silly smoke? Thats the gayness. Now, bakers done amazing work for similar creatures in the past, with a lot less money and experience, so I really don't doubt that his work will be phenomenal. But Joe Johnston? Yeah, he will find a way to turd on Bakers polish.
-
Hopefully, we'll finally get a good werewolf movie from a major studio.
-
Shivers on my goosebumps. AAAAAWHOOOOO!
-
CGI is a big part of what RUINED "I Am Legend" (well, that and the mushy cop-out ending). If they had only hired Rick Baker and a few hundred extras, they'd have had a MUCH better movie.
-
If you weren't a virgin already, you just became one again with that statement...
-
Nothing new we havent seen. I am just bored with all these look a like monsters. You seen one you seen them all.
-
Seriously. Whoever wrote that (and I'm sure it's not the real deal, because he has a little bit of tact and class, unlike this jackass) needs to STFU and go away. <p> Seriously, dude-- Shove it. We don't want it here.
-
the 'jonke' is on you, boy. Egg on your face! egg on your face!...here have an egg...in your face! haha
-
I don't know why I thought it'd look more like Benicio. Not that it shouldn't be a full-fledged wolfman, I just can't even tell who's in there. Am I wrong for liking Michael Jackson's Thriller wolfman best? He was sleek. This one's a little fluffy for my taste.
-
The Skinwalkers looked better than that.
-
Or just say ARRRRG the entire time?
-
WOOF!
-
If you actually think Node's gonna get banned for the use of "Jewfro", you've got a lot to learn.
-
I wonder if the prosthetics were precision-engineered so the fangs lock together when the mouth closes. It looks like the original but generally cooler, more like a wolf. Reminds me when I was a werewolf for Halloween in second grade. The flannel shirt I wore with fake fur sticking out of the front made me feel so badass.
-
Ya know the store I mean? The one at the mall between Debb and Aeropostale? Seriously, I'm all about having make-up over CG and maybe it's just the pictures but yowch.
-
Joe Johnston cool
-
jesus. cant we now take the piss out of jews? Whatever next? you gonna tell me nigga is a bad word... Bring back 'song of the south'...
-
And no one is gonna tell me or Anchorite otherwise.
-
with Honey I Shrunk The Kids. Jokes aside a lot of Johnston's movie are ok for what they are, but if he's not doing a family movie, you can bet it's gonna suck balls. Anybody had the desire to re-watch JP: III lately?
-
Man, he really needs rehab.
-

-
Rick Baker is crazy talented and a survivor in the movie industry, so who am I to say? ... But watching him reinvent his past work with wolfman prosthetics every few years is getting tired. And what's with the poofy Phil Spector hairdo? Between American Werewolf in London and the entirely unrelated Teen Wolf, I'm set for life on man-dog-boy movies.
-
I'd be more inclined to vote for him if he'd at least stick to the subject and say what he really thinks about this Wolfman makeup.
-
The fact that skywalkerfamily appears to live on Talkback 24/7 or that DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD thinks his spamming of this story on AICN is what actually prompted Grande Rojo to post the article.<P>Talkback. It's a hoot.
-
thats dels own hair its in every contract that he has to maintain 100% creative right over his hair-doo.
-
when he took driver's ed, it was on a dinosaur!
-
Someone give me a job!
-
ive never had the courage but today fuck it... what actually is a douch-bag?
-
His social security number is 1.
-
His wife was created from spare waste matter found in Harrys many folds. although your answer is better...
-
Reminds me of the Monster Squad Wolfman only with a slightly less flat face. Might be the shirt.
-
I will spare you nothing. And I'm not your son.
-
That would've saved big bucks and the most of the folks who enjoy a mind-blanking good time at the theater wouldn't even notice. "I dun care bout reviews, I go 2 da movies 4 da entertainment"

Nah, I didn't think you were M-O-M. He had a very distinctive..."style". Besides, that would most unfortunate if it were true.
-
...or maybe a tweenage sidekick! Tween Wolf / Tween Wolf Too I'm waiting for my check, Hollywood!
-
like 'my mate mysterious yobo is a mongoloid meddler of massive man members?' is that one?
-
Wow you really are a loser! Slumming on a geek movie forum and begging for cash. Well the whole downhill slide of this country started during the Reagan years. So that makes you one crazy, fascist SOB.
-
dont let your momma bite...
-
he still has problems with that new technology called "math."
-
No seriously, that looks amazing! Can't wait for this movie!
-
Basically, M-O-M (formerly BladeRunnerUnit) was an arrogant, humorless prick. His sole purpose in TB seemed to be that of telling everyone how poor their personal tastes were in film. Naturally, he was completely oblivious to his own hypocrisy and liked to use the word "zeitgeist" a whole hell of a lot. People tended to hate him because he was a basic textbook jackass. But I think more hated the fact that he constantly derailed every Talkback with his personal vendetta-like attacks against Michael Bay and "Bayformers".<P>A debate with M-O-M on Kubrick, eh? Don't know that I ever saw that.
-
The Wolfman looks great. I love the Wolfman. Give me one pissed off Wolfman over a whole horde of Vampires any day. Vampires sitting around whining bout how terrible it is to live forever and how tormented they are. Vampires are EMOs with doggy teeth.
-
he was technical adviser on 10,000BC
-
...Mysterious Yobo is one of Don Murphy's whelps or some shit.
-
bite themselves
-
the mind reels. Imagine not just being always depressed, but ETERNALLY depressed. <p> I like the "bite themselves" line, dalbatron, but I wonder if they also stick their wrists out into the sunlight when they're really "moody." Think they lick crosses, too?
-
movie, personally.
-
...he invented the idea of new.
-
They probably do!!!
-
That when he wanted to read a book, he only got the index.
-
that i told him to act his age, and the bastard died.

He was at Abe Vigoda's baby shower. <p> Beat that muhfuggas.

He said the new wolfman made him go "YeeeHahh!!!!"

God doesn't even know who he is.

..."God doesn't even know who he is." <p> That was your best one yet! Good one.

We're talking about the Wolfman here, and you're worried about whether "meh" is dated? Riiiiiight. (And the Wolfman IS a werewolf, you cretin. That makeup is what passed for state-of-the-art at the time the original was made. Sweet that they're doing a homage and all, but try to at least LOOK like you know what you're talking about the next time you skip 8th-grade French class to beak off on AICN.)
-
Doesn't he always look like that pretty much?
-
Herman must be so proud.

Haven't moved beyond this retro-lameass make-up effect. The American Werewolf in London was better than this.
-
<p>Reel American Hero explained the difference between a werewolf and The Wolfman above.</p> <p>I don't give a shit what was state-of-the-art 50 years ago. If you're trying to tell me that Lon Cheney Jr was EVER supposed to resemble an ACTUAL wolf, you're even dumber than you seem.</p>
-
where can we see examples of Bakers Zbrush work?
-
He's the first president to go senile BEFORE he gains office.
-
He thinks Driving Miss Daisy is a teen romance. <p> (((((Ding)))))
-
The best wolfman was in monstersquad..all other have been dorky and fake looking... This wolfman is ok, but its hard to tell what its going to look like in different lighting
-
He offered to buy Barack Obama. <p> (((((Ding)))))
-
http://tinyurl.com/ <P> Theres a picture of his Frankenstein Monster. His first Ever Zbrush Model. <P> GoTo:<P> www.pixologic.com <P> Look for all posts from the user "Monstermaker" <P> Love his London After Midnight Zbrush model. The model he made of his father is also great.
-
Then look for the posts by his nick. "monstermaker"
-
Were probably done by Baker, He's beena 2d CGI artist as well for a long long time. And you guys are talking so much shit about it... Again- This guy is one of the last greats in the Biz. You haters are A'holes!
-
I'm a big fan and it looks like somehow you nailed The Wolfman look but also managed to make it your own! At least we know this project is in safe hands as far as the leading man and FX are concearned, lets hope it don't turn out to be as Shlocky and camp as Fatman Jacks Wolf!

EXCUSE ME BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN HERE
by BringingSexyBack
Please stay on topic.
-
I shudder to think what he was gonna do to Jessica Lange if the serpent didn't show up.
-
back in the 80s, or was that someone else? Anyway, you can't judge much from a pic...heavily photoshopped for sure too, but looks ok.
-
That is all.

Love Lon Chaney JR. may fav Universal Monster actor!!!!!
-
Well he IS! These photos don't excite me. The photoshopped mist makes me think of cheap Z-movie DVD covers. Better to save this for a trailer than present it this way. I can't get excited about "promotional" picture anymore anyway, they've preceeded too many shit movies. I remember getting excited about the character posters for Van Helsing, and look how THAT mess turned out. Oh wait, I'm over 28, they don't market to me anymore.
-
In reality, the canine teeth (fangs) are the third ones in, just past the two incisors. For some reason, Baker has chosen instead to make the first premolar into fangs. How ridiculous!
-
I'm surprised how restrained the design is. Not much different from the Lon Chaney JR. design. I expected one of those over-muscled creatures like in Van Helsing. This could be fun.
-
Not that I was expecting anything less than extraordinary from Rick Baker, but damn that Wolfman looks fucking cool. Can't say I'm ecstatic about Joe Johnston taking over the director's chair, but hopefully he'll bring something interesting to the film. I don't dislike the guy, but I don't get a great feeling of geeky confidence from him either. He's just kind of "meh." But damn, that makeup job is a killer.
-
As a voter, I appreciate you coming to this forum to speak. It shows that you're a statesman, and I do agree with your military policies. If I had my wish, you would have had the conn when Bush made you out to be a goddamned psychopath in 2000. Now, instead of honor and tough guy stick-to-it've-ness I'd expect from a goddamned war hero, I see you shaking hands with the guy that made you look like a fucking dummy. It is in this vein of reaching across the aisle to gently tell you simply:<p>I will not vote for a man older than my Grandmother. Because my grandmother cannot:<p>- Figure out a goddamned VCR, DVD Player or Ultimate Universal Remote without picking up a phone to call technical support<p>- Have a movement without a goddamned editorial posted to our family's website<p>- Cannot follow simple plot devices in most drama shows without asking for the crib notes during the show from those around her<p> She also has been informed by her state of license issuance that she is TOO GODDAMNED OLD TO DRIVE.<p>She's really old, man, and you're FIVE years older than her.<p>Now, in this modern age, do we need a man in office who has uttered these words 'I don't know much about the economy'? Is THAT the guy we want around the Oval Office? Do we want a guy who's OLDER than Dick Cheney, the Future of Vice Presidency created by both government funded health care and a heart spawned by the dark center of the Stygian Abyss?<p>Mr. McCain, you will always be an honored hero, and if I were the man making the decisions, you'd be our next president's Chief of Staff or Foreign Affairs. We need a hard-ass in both those offices. However, a guy who is older than hell, we don't need picking Supreme Court Justices, or making decisions on things affecting the future generations coming up in this country. I know if I were nearing eighty, I wouldn't give a sweet fuck for people in their thirties, much less the children and teenagers of the 21st century. As far as I'd be concerned, those fuckers were just wasting air I need to make the most of my golden years!<p>Mr. McCain, I can't wait to see someone totally shred you in the debates again, but this time with more than just evil fucking Karl Rove tactics...Oh yeah, do we need a guy who LOST to George Bush as president?<p>The answer, by the way, Mr. McCain, is of fucking course not. Good day to you sir.<p>Also, I thought that this picture looked a lot like Baker's work on Thriller. Same black hair, same mouth structure, but with human eyes. I bet in motion, and lit well this will be kind of cool. But shit, it's another remake. Fuck, something new in the Werewolf genre would be decent. This looks okay. I still won't see it until DVD, I think.

dudes a fucking hero. Has a good sence of humor, hot daughter. Should have been Pres 8 years ago.

haha awesome

and a member of club redhead, thank you very much. and who are we kidding? we ALWAYS get stuck with the lesser of two evils! i would rather vote for elvis.<p>whoever mentioned 'twilight' way back above, i am officially dumping you in the douchebaguette category. firstly, you are obviously a girl, because, as one of the only other girls on this site, i know that only girls know about 'twilight.' secondly, a douchebaguettey book generally makes a douchebaguettey movie, especially one starring cedric diggory and jodie foster's lesbia-looking daughter from panic room. and, finally, since i seem to know all about it, it looks like i have branded myself a douchebaguette as well, so, will somebody save me, please?
-
it's better that you don't know. it would be better if i MYSELF didn't know. i shall wipe it from my mind by having a ginger beer and some freshly made tamales from lolita's in whittier. yeah, you're jealous!<p>i s'pose i should say something on-topic instead of always just talking about what i'm drinking or being a girl. ok, the wolfman looks pretty cool, i'm down for it. there, done my duty.

-
The stills look absolutely great, no question about it. Then again, I expected no less from a genius like Rick Baker, who let's face it IS a true genius.<p>That said, for however good the make-up looks, I'm still not sure how the final MOVIE will be. Let's face it, we can all think of films where the SFX or make-up or other production aspects were all top notch, but then the actual movie sucked ass. But I guess we'll just have to see how this turns out, but as a lover of the old Universal Monster films I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Her: "Get off that fucking computer." <p> Me: "I'm in the middle of a flame war!"

Now she's just accepted my addiction.

i spend almost half my time driving around this godforsaken city anyhow, widening my carbon footprint daily (5.3 liter vortec, you may recall!). i used to drive from pasadena to van nuys for a krispy kreme back when there was only one in the city. obviously, i can be a desperate woman.<p>bsb, when you getting hitched? sorry if this topic has already been covered.
-
We've come to an understanding. Better I'm doing the Talkback thing than browsing porn. Which I do on Firefox ... she doesn't know about that browser. HEE!

he knew Burger King when he was still a prince.
-
his birth certificate says 'expired' on it.

Big day's in June. And fast approaching ...

oh, and did i mention that John McCain was SO old...
by vaudeville villain
he was a waiter at the Last Supper?

I'd buy that for a dollar =)
-
I think you have me confused with Don Murphy.
-
it's been a while since my last foray into TBland, anyways congrats, and make as much Jeff Goldblum sexyback maggot babies as you please.
-
You've been missed. Recent trolls like Glovedone don't even come near your greatness.
-
I see you too enjoy art of using alternate browsers to peruse internet smut underneath your loved one's radar. You are not alone. Wait that's creepy. Nevermind.

felicitations and many happy returns of the day. can you manage to work a shoutout to that braff character in a toast at the reception? that would be grrrreat.<p>xi, a couple of them have gone out of business here too. i wonder what's happening. the one in burbank sells 'whole wheat donuts', which is a travesty in my opinion - maybe it's a sign of something. my favorite one they make is a wild blueberry cake donut. i only found it in the charlotte shop. divine.

creatures sucked. Design design design. They were an intentional ripoff of Chris Cunningham's bigheaded screamer from "Come to Daddy", but graphically there's nothing defining about them and they just come off like a poor man's version. <p> For more proof, look at Rick Baker's CG modelling. He hasn't been at it for long and fits it in between things, but he's already way ahead of most purely because he knows good design and the important elements in an aged look or creature design. By the same token there were just the same percentage of shitty oldschool prosthetic makeup guys with lousy work as crappy cg to good cg. Don't miss the forest for the trees mate. <p> And what the fuck happened to Baker's work on 'Cursed'? I only rented that shitfest to see his stuff as he was named and all but there wasn't a shred even in the extras. Grrrr, to quote Benicio.
-
On one hand it's really great and badass and all. On another, I really would have loved to see almost no makeup used. Those early pics of Del Toro totally proved to me he could of pulled it off by just being Del Toro, and what balls they would have had to go that way. Still, this is cool but it's hard to feel any way about it until it moves. Optimistic though.
-
Remember Tea Leoni....make believe dinosaurs.....JP3......Directed by Joe Johnston??????? Doesn't sound very optimistic to me.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty...

So you're convinced McCain is the best choice? A "statesman" who thought "Bomb Iran, bomb bomb Iran" was funny? A man who will likely be obliged to nominate some loon like Huckabee as VP to placate the Republican "base", and who is so old he has a very good chance to die in office? A man who is eager to continue the Bush policies which have been so disastrous for the past 8 years? If you're that worried about Obama's minister, listen to the speech he gave on that topic a day or two ago. Obama is actually able to express himself coherently for an extended period, raising actual ideas of some complexity and discussing them honestly and forthrightly. When's the last time we had anyone like that in the White House?
-
Ah yes. The Wolf Man must be doomed because its director didn't make JP3 into a jaw dropping masterpiece that could live up to two previous groundbreaking films from Steven Spielberg. There was no reason to make JP3. There was no book to base it upon (granted the films followed the books pretty loosely to begin with), no reason to make it. It was a cash grab script which would have sucked even in Spielberg's hands. I'm sick of hearing people go on and on about it like he took any writing credit at all. At least the piece of garbage is watchable which is completely to his credit. So enough with the JP3 bitching already! He made the film inbetween October Sky and Hidalgo, both good films. He made the Rocketeer and a number of decent to great kids movies. He hasn't made anything that seals the deal that he was the perfect choice for this, but I don't see any real evidence that he can't handle it either. Getting mad at him for JP3 is like getting mad at the dude who directed Hannibal Rising. There simply wasn't a good movie to be made! So yes... I AM OPTIMISTIC.

Tea Leoni isn't in The Wolf Man. Hopkins, Del Toro and Weaving are, however.
-
I used her to further my point on JP3, and I never said I was mad at Joe, I just wanted to single out JP3 cos it was a bad film. Plus, I wasn't a big fan of Hidalgo, and thought that October Sky was pretty mediocre. Oh, let's not forget the piece of shit that "The Pagemaster" was. I'll admit though that The Rocketeer and Jumanji were both pretty entertaining and memorable, but 2 good movies and a handful of medicore to shitty films doesn't exactly spell out great director. This movie needs greatness, especially the fact that Hopkins, Del Toro, Weaving, and Emily Blunt are the principles in this film. Johnston is a good go-to-guy, but honestly, this film needed a visionary, for example, Frank Darabont. Unlike Johnston, there's spirit to his directing, his visual style is pretty impressive, but most importantly, all of his movies had some type of atmosphere to it. I highly doubt that Johnston would be able to bring the kind of atmosphere that Darabont is so talented at using, and Wolfman is the perfect movie to use atmosphere to its fullest. Oh well, there's no use to dreaming about what could've been, and honestly if Johnston pulls this off, that would be awesome. He would now have THREE good movies and a handful of mediocre to shitty films.

Lost World wasn't exactly groundbreaking. It was watchable, everytime Jeffy Goldblum and his dumbass daughter wasn't on screen.

Yeah, Firefox is perfect for that. Cleans up the history easily too. But you gotta browse a lil smutty stuff on IE once in a while, otherwise you arouse suspicion.

If Obama doesn't receive this nomination (it appears the press and the Clintons have forged an alliance against him), I won't think twice before throwing my hat in the ring to support McCain. ANYONE but Hillary Clinton in the White House.
-
My mother-in-law has Alzheimers at age 73. I think the percentage of people over 70 with the mental where-with-all to be President is VERY low and I do not think John boy fits the bill. Hey 23GreatWoundsAllGotInBattle! I didn't even know John McCain was gay. wow JM loves JC. Cute. Anchorite: I believe you are incorrect. I think the AMerican people want someone in the White House who's brain cells still fire and who doesn't believe the answer to everything is killing all who don't agree with you. McCain is a Douchebaggett nutcase. Dave Bowman: You are correct about Obama. The man can and does think. Some of the people he chooses to align himself with makes me a little uncomfortable, but McCain aligns himself with Bush and Reagan and that makes me nauseous. Obama will get my vote. I once had high hopes for Clinton. Now she just comes off as someone who is constantly changing hat to reflect the weather of the moment. Ah well.

THIS is a masterpiece! THIS is the WOLF MAN. THIS will remove the horrible scar that was Van Helsing. <br> This will bring back the Universal Monsters in all their glory. <br> Thank you Rick (you Monster Kid) and Benecio (He can list the monsters on the covers of every FM ever published in the glory years...by memory! TRUE STORY.) <br> ahhhh, it's going to be perfect. Moonlight, gypsy camps and Anthony Hopkins as Sir John Talbot. <br> Can't wait to see the cane.

GhostWhoLurks got it right. Looks close enough to Chaney's to be cool. But...how 'bout the movie itself? Keep yer paws crossed, boys and girls, keep yer paws crossed. I, Granpa.G, have spoken.

One of those 2AM slips. Don't get me wrong. I can think of MANY Directors that I'd rather have. I'm just tired of hearing about JP3 like there was a great movie to be made. Pagemaster came and went for me, so I really don't have a memory of it other than... it came and went, so yeah, probably agree there. I'd argue that Honey I Shrunk the Kids was a pretty great kids movie so I'd add that to his list. Hidalgo took a genre I don't like and made an entertaining movie, maybe not a masterpiece, but far more rewatchable (for me) than Iron Will. I guess where my optimism comes from is that a lot of good to great horror movies have been made by unlikely directors from family film backgrounds. As much of a bad taste J-horror leaves in peoples' mouthes now The Ring is hands down the only remake I could imagine anyone (not me though) arguing was better than the original. It really was a well crafted horror film, yet who would have suspected the guy that did Mouse Hunt (which I love) and The Mexican (which I thought was a mess) to have it in him? What about Manny's Orphans and Here Come the Tigers would have given people a hint that Cunningham had Friday the 13th in him? Sure he had some obscure skin films under his belt, but who would know that without checking IMDB? All I'm saying is that I haven't heard the 'well fuck' piece of news yet for this project. The good thing about Johnson is that he'll probably follow Romanek's vision pretty closely as opposed to trying to had his own vision to a film that was too far along to drastically alter.

Here is John Carter news from ERBzine. [Pixar Plans for John Carter of Mars Jim Hill Media ~ March 17, 2008 Pixar Animation Studios may be preparing its first live-action movie: Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars and Wall-E director Andrew Stanton may direct, sources are claiming. Disney/Pixar grabbed up a raft of domain names last Friday, including johncarterandthegodsofmars.com , johncarterandthewarlordofmars. com, godsofmarsmovie.com and warlordofmars-movie.com. Last August, Disney registered johncarterofmars-movie.com and some variants, plus childrenofmars.com in November. "Insiders" claim Ratatouille screenwriter Mark Andrews has completed his first draft of a John Carter script. And both Disney and Pixar insiders are excited by the draft, and eager to put it into production. The movie could come out as soon as 2011 or 2012. Part of the urgency for a John Carter franchise comes from the fact that Disney is losing enthusiasm for the Narnia movies.

When's Del Toro actually putting on the make-up, though?
-
he was brought in on 10,000 B.C. as a technical consultant.
-
ummmm, I'm a doppelganger, I guess?
-
that he's way too old for this shit
-
Has a classic kind of feel, but updated, I like it a lot. I just hope Joe Johnston does as good a job with the rest of the film as I know Mark Romanek would have.
-
Okay...Let's talk about 'too old' for President in serious terms. McCain is out of touch with America, when the majority of Americans want out of this fucking catastrophic intelligence failure called the 'Illegal Occupation of Iraq to Support Georgie's Dick-Daddys in OPEC'. We want out. Is it right? Is it honorable? Does it matter in a FREE FUCKING SOCIETY? We, the people, not they the corporations run this country, and this unbending fool thinks it would be swell to be there for 100 years. Tell that to my dead fucking cousin's family if 100 years of my family dying or being stop-lossed would be swell. No matter what the 'soldiers wouldn't give up' crowd says with their Korean made bumper magnets saying 'Support the Troops', the families want their soldiers home, because nothing we're doing there is making the Middle East better.<p> Old people, and this is rigid, stuck in their ways dumb fucking irritating stubborn old people, are what's wrong with this country. They're obstructionist, backwards thinking relics who want to keep this country in the fucking past. Roe Vs. Wade won because there were relatively YOUNG persons on the Supreme Court! And yes, choice is a dangerous thing, but freedom to choose is always a GOOD thing, according to the Constitution. <p>I don't care what's said about a candidate, because I'm not one of those people who buy everything they see on television. To the guy who said 'I'd vote for Obama, but now I see that he clearly agrees with everything he sees, hears, reads in a book, or views on television'. No, chump-stain, that's YOU. And, for the record, Obama wasn't EVEN AT THE SPEECH they're touting as 'inflammatory'! Nice try, bigots, but like Tracy Morgan said 'The new President is Black, Bitch.'<p>For example, I think John McCain is too deep into the pockets of those cowardly lobbyists to be of any use to the broad middle class that's shrinking every year. Yeah, old people know the 'sting' of taxes because as you age since around 1974, your income goes fucking DOWN instead of UP. (Thanks Republicrats!) Old people get the fucking shaft, balls, and part of the fucking prostate all the time, because we think that in this country it's 'Sink, or Sink Slightly Slower, Poor Person'.<p>You should really talk to someone who works in an industry that the fucking Republicrats have GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY TO DESTROY on behalf of their corporate masters. Or don't. The fact is John McCain is old, beat-down, and a facilitator for corporate interests who actually said 'Baghdad is as safe as a fucking County Fair!'...Yeah, that marketplace was car-bombed and several of the people seen around McCain were slaughtered shortly after appearing on 60 Minutes with no fucking clue what was really going on.<p>McCain's heroism is the only thing going for him, or did anyone forget that they painted him as a fucking kook not 8 years ago when he was reaaaallly old.<p>And, lastly....Young people are coming out to vote more in this primary season than in the last three elections combined according to the Zogby polls. You think that's for John McCain? No, I got news for you...the 'Straight Talk Express (Brought to you by Carl's Jr.)' is done. The next president will be Barack Obama.

made me cough. and laugh out loud.

is that all they could come up with?

Indeed. Though I do have to agree that there is a certain "afro" aspect of the hair I didn't really notice until someone said something. By the way...remember King Kong with Jessica Lange? (how could you not, she was only the hottest woman on film that year...I still can't watch that movie and see that beach landing scene with her...beautiful, smart, sexy,capitvating...nuff said!)...but back to my point...the MAN IN SUIT was actually Baker himself. Yup! Tis true...the 1976 version of MIS "King Kong' had Rick Baker playing the infamous giant ape. He of course also did the makeup (though some "absolutists" have given him tremendous shit for not using longer forearms like a real gorilla plus the fact that he walked upright. But for '76, the facial effects were kick ass..plus the audio effects of Kong's roar are still some of the best I've ever heard in terms of something unknowable [the sound a 50ft gorilla would make when really pissed]).<p><p><p>As far as McCain, in his book he talked about "Idiot civilian leadership" and how he wanted to bomb Russian naval vessels around Viet Nam when he saw them. Which, arguably, could have caused WW3. Plus to laud his foreign policy is idiotic as he made the same Sunni=Shiite mistake 3 times in as many days in the last week or so. To even be in the government at all and not understand the nuance of these issues makes your candidacy questionable, at the least. That said, I think he's truly a noble and decent guy, has sacrificed far more than any of us ever will for this country; not to mention he's certainly not as out of touch as Bob Dole was some years ago. Imagine what he must be feeling having been tortured for what 7 years was it? And then having to reverse his very public stance against torture, water-boarding, etc, a few weeks back in order to cater to the lunatic fringe. Most repubs think he's too liberal!

It's really starting to make you look silly. This is spot-on, and the patented AICN incessant whining is not needed here. Please return to your PS3 where you're needed. Dark Knight out.
-
Thank you for not making another werewolf movie where the werewolves were crappy CGI. This is the route "Van Helsing" should have taken. It is note perfect. Wonderful pics!
-
Rick Baker has created a masterpiece. The look not only compliments the original Wolf Man film, but takes it to a whole new level of badassery. I am highly anticipating this film.
-
Was the Jack Nicholson film "Wolf" a remake of the "Wolfman"?
-
C'mon, it does.
-
No No i try not to leave any traces or else my wife's head begins to turn like Linda Blair's. Of course, when it does happen, I blame it on spyware and popunders lol
-
looks good
-
The 7th post was from the handle of Sen. McCain, probably a ripoff of a donation email or from his site.
-
it looks to be one of the few remakes worth a shit.
-
I've got a quick question, was your comment calling that dude a racist for the Jew Fro comment tongue in cheek, or are you simply yet-another ashkanasi bleating and pissing on every single ember of joy that those of us who actually try to enjoy life get the slightest amusement of? I mean really, are you really so full of self-loathing that only Richard Lewis is allowed to riff on a classic Eugene Levy do? How hateful your lives must be to begrudge another human being even the slightest chuckle of humor.

I dunno, but "wolf/human" creatures like this just don't look scary. When I see stuff like this I can't help but think "Guy in a mask". Now, Wolfen and An American Werewolf in London had some sick lookin badass creatures.
