Behold The Dark Opulence Of THE WOLFMAN!!
Merrick here...
A trailer for THE WOLFMAN was revealed at Comic-Con, and some enterprising soul did a rather nice job filming it to share with the masses.
I've always loved THE ROCKETEER, and I've been waiting for Joe Johnston to deliver another knock-out punch since its release. Maybe this will be it?
Watch the embedded trailer below, which comes to us via Trailer Addict (HERE).

i love Benicio. i'd chuck the radio into his tub any day.

The Wolfman has NUTS!
-
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa looks good
-
This movie looks great!
-
I watched a bit but to be fair I think I'll wait for something official that has a better chance to get me excited. (It looks better than most other camcordered bootlegs, though.) We won't have to wait THAT long, will we?
-
I mean...sorry, it looks okay. I'm not sure I'd pay $12 to see this though. Werewolves aren't that interesting.

Holy f**kin' shit! That is seriously, seriously awesome!
by harryblackpotter
This will be a monster, monster smash!
-
...isn't all super hero-ified. Can't wait.
-
The middle third of the trailer is nothing but people walking through doors. The rest looks like it could be worth watching though.
-
I've always been really scared of Werewolves for some reason - I still don't like walking through Kings Cross tube station at night, especially the escalators, thanks to American Werewolf in London!
-
Visually it looks stunning and freaky I am so down for this movie.
-
but so did van Helsing when it was just a trailer. But then again there wasn't any of that Wild Wild West retro future technology crap so maybe it'll work if they play it straight up and not for laughs, which the trailer would indicate.
-
...aren't we over the monster/human faceoff shot yet?
-
That's what this film needs... Ohhhh, Chiiiiiiikkkk!
-
...a giant CGI wolf that throws cars around and such?...you're remedial...
-
and makes out with chearleaders, I am not interested.
-
but with added punch.
-
do they actually talk about comic books at the comic con, or is it just a whorehouse for pushing movies? Will they have a Juno panel next year?
-
Is it possible to get a wolfman vs the mummy movie?
-
Period horror movies just don't engross the masses. I'm sure it will be OK, but it doesn't have that must-see feel.
-
That seriously looks like classic Hollywood horror. I'm thoroughly psyched. Can't wait to see Del Toro all chained down, having a freak out, screaming "I'm going to KILL YOU ALL!!"
How can you not be interested from that trailer? Seriously, would you rather this be the Hulk with fur? -
Dracula and now Wolfman. Just wondering.
-
I'm still going to see the movie, but man that trailer didn't give me the warm fuzzys.
-
Werewolves look shit. It;s either obviously CGI, a guy in a suit or a puppet, and it always looks like what it is. It's a curse I tell thee!
-
Johnston's Rocketeer rocked. I'll give this a chance. It didn't look too shabby.
-
Anyone mehing?
-
... and Wolf Men always make me think of Eddie Monster. It is a curse.
-
Not one element of that trailer made me want to see it.
-
Especially ones that are shitty monster movies...but that's just my dumbass opinion.
-
the running werewolf is lame, he should lope more.
-
Here we go, let's all bitch just to bitch.
"I hate remakes! I hate sequels! I hate Michael Bay! I hate when my childhood is raped! I hate Lucas! I hate Hollywood!"
Now you're hating on something that looks original and different? Yeah, I hate original movies, where are all those remakes I keep hearing about? Why isn't this An American Werewolf sequel.
Give it a fair chance you whiners. Looks awesome! -
Most over-used line in movies!
-
there was an American Werewolf sequel, and that sucked harder than Amy Winehouse on crack-flavoured jizz day.
-
'By God...' Usually uttered by some army dude witnessing something unexpected and on a large scale e.g. mushroom cloud at the end of Predator. I reckon that's gotta be up there too with most over-used lines.
-
that looked good.
-
isn't that usually My God? By God is quite quirky. It's like saying, "By Jesus's ripe third tittie!"
-
JUST FUCKING WOW.
-
Yes, some of the By Gods might be My Gods, but By God has a more Biblical, movie-like gravitas. I think that's why the old army dudes use it so much.
-
Just missed it!!
-
any mirrors yet?
-
We'll see how it plays together, but the trailer makes it look like they took this thing pretty seriously. Which is the only way to treat it... no camp, no lame modern in-jokes... just a dark, dank, candle-lit period piece with some ugly violence and grim desperation. Benicio was a great choice for wolfie... what I love is that he doesn't leap to mind at the mention of "wolfman" but when you see him in action, it just clicks perfectly. Awesome. Anthony Hopkins hasn't looked like he was trying in a movie for ten years, but what the fuck, he's classy enough to do alright even when he's coasting. Just hope this whole thing doesn't go all Coppola on us, and get dragged down from lofty goals though fke-looking soundstages and lame performances (for God's sake, England is full of actors who actually already have English accents... why not use them to play English characters with English accents?)
-
Seeing any of those creatures, especiallly the Werewolf, going throught the fog scared me. Looking forward to it.
-
Want to make a video disappear? Just post about it on AICN and it will be gone in seconds. Isn't there a way to get a a mirror link up to an alternate site which won't be taken down or is it a case of just not wanting to tick off the studios who buy advertising space?

-
that got deleted about 2 minutes after I saw it.
-
oh, and Harry... don't think that just because the story finally slips off the top page we've forgotten and you don't owe us some closure.

Use the internet much? I do, and I did a google search for terms "wolfman trailer" and was watching it in seconds. I like the looks of this. Benecio Del Toro? Good call.
-
I have a question. I suspect that most of the people who post movies like this post them on domestic servers. Because of that, when someone from the MPAA or Paramount or whatever fires off a email to them demanding they take it down, they usually do so quickly.
However, if I were to post a movie like this on a site hosted in Hong Kong or the Syechelles or Uberrackistan or something and the aforementioned authorities tried to tell them to take it off, couldn't they then be properly be told to go fuck themselves? Why don't people post movies in hard to threaten countries? Like a Danish server or something?
Just curious -
Why do I always miss the videos? You know, I think these studios have a job position where they got a guy checking all these sights for "copyright violations." Guy just sits there all day on the internet...I want that job.
-
xevoid: I would assume that it would be protected, but isn't it true that a lot of these countries have treaties with each other? Which affords the corporations a much longer leagal reach than would otherwise be possible.
Maybe someone should buy an old oil tanker and park it in international waters, so they could host these things pirate-radio style. That would be cool, but probably well past the point of absurdity. -
AICN's between a rock and a hard place when it comes to leaks. Harry's got an "in" with a few folks in the biz and I'm sure he doesn't want to piss them off by posting "unauthorized" material or challenging a request to take things down, and two, studios have a gaggle of lawyers ready to send out Cease & Desist notices at the drop of a hat for copyright violation.
-
Has a kind of Sleepy Hollow feel to it, which was a great movie. Hopefully the wolfman looks like the werewolves in The Howling. That is my favorite werewolf movie to date.
-
traler gets 'leaked', people see trailer, trailer gets taken away, people grumble, trailer gets official release, people come back. It's like Amway for viral marketing. Expect this on Apple Trailers by Monday...
-
Joe Johnston's visual style looks incredible. Granted he was a last-minute replacement and most of the design choices were already set--but it looks like it will be a great film.
My one question: will they explain Benicio's odd accent when he is supposed to be British? -
but I'm not getting too excited yet.
-
The Howling is and will always be the greatest werewolf film of ALL time.
-
is genius.
-
Here we have Yet Another Hollywood Recycle(tm) film, and here at AICN, where readers and contributors alike have unanimously panned, jeered, sneered, and harpooned every 'reimagining' that has been put to tape in the past 18 years, and because the Lead Actor in the role is some sort of 'can-do-no-wrong' geek-lord, and because the director is equally 'can-do-no-wrong', this latest example of Hollywoods empty Well Of Ideas(tm) gets not only a full pass on being Yet Another Tired Retread(tm), but gets praises and cheers from the same individuals.
You're all idiots - pure, simple, unsophisticated idiots.
mark my words - the next 'reimagining' talkback will feature the same cast of talkbackers complaining about how lame it is that X movie is being redone when the original still holds up fine.
idiots. -
You're hurting my ego!
-
It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Not sure how well it holds up, though, as I just recently saw one of my other childhood faves, The Shadow, and it was just...terrible. Now I'm afraid to watch the Rocketeer again. Beemans gum is still my favorite thanks to that movie. Oh, and I'm not into monster movies AT ALL, but I kinda dig the old-school vibe of this. Still can't tell if it will be any good though. I'll probably rent it.
-
Do you need a certain type of player?
And is this a re-make of the 80s were-wolf? -
...Seriously? I'd put American Werewolf, the original Wolf Man and Silver Bullet ahead of it, for starters.
-
...it just hit me... Why does the movie version of the Comedian wear Chris O'Donnell's Robin mask instead of one of those freaky leather Gimp masks as in the comic? Lame...
-
One thing about this film is that it is not a "Remake" per se... or even a re-imagining. Wolfman, like Frankenstein, Mummy, Dracula, etc... all the Universal Horror Icons... they are and always have been iconic characters who can appear in many different kinds of movies and stories. I look at this "Wolfman" as simply a revitalization of a character who exists independent of any one story in the pop culture. Wolf Man has had so many iterations as a character and a story that bringing the character "back" in this manner is much more palatable to me than, say, remaking "The Day the Earth Stood Still," which is story-oriented, rather than based around an iconic character. That's why no one (well, fewer people) bitch about new James Bond films. Although, of course, if your argument is simply that Hollywood is out of ideas, that may not make you feel better. Still, it's certainly not an invention of contemporary Hollywood.
PS: Joe Johnson in no way qualifies as a "can-do-no-wrong" director. Jurassic Park III? That's the textbook definition of doing wrong. -
Hopefully in a solidly decadent way like Interview with the Vampire but not camp/hammy jumping around sniffing the air like Wolf!
-
the only good movie from the director that people talk about was like 17 years ago!
-
But, here is another link.http://tinyurl.com/5m9f7xIt has to be a red band trailer or just a special one for ComiCon

Seriously, can someone still look at her with a straight face? "I'm on this new diet. I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese." Classic.
-
I think a modern day wolfman would be scarier.
-
BLADE RUNNER reference:The line about the prodigal son is dead on.
-
I don't dunno, with technology as it is, I don't think a wolfman has much of a chance. Like in American Werewolf in Paris, the cops would just shoot the shit out of a rampaging monster.On an unrelated note, was anyone else freaked out about the Canadian bus decapitation story?
-
Much appreciated!
-
Not sure how many of you saw this flick, but the last movie i saw with real looking werewolves was dog soldiers. At least, i thought they looked pretty wolf like.
-
The Gingersnaps trilogy and Monster Squad both had good looking werewolves in them. I also liked Jack Nicholson's slow transformation in Wolf. Underworld set the genre back a few steps though, with their ugly, blue, hairless Lycans. Haven't searched this trailer out though, since the link is broken here, so I don't have much to say about this Wolfman.
-
I always get to these leaked trailers after they've been pulled! Aaah!
-
Pretty good, except for that one scene were(wolf) jumps at the cop and the next thing you know his head is flying off his body. Razor sharp fangs indeed.The Company of Wolves was also good with Terrence Stamp as the devil with class (was that Stamp in the Wolfman clip?).
-
"Due to the request of some corporate douchebags, we have taken this video down." Thanks, corporate douchebags!
-
We get it. You work for Empire. Stop spamming dammit.
-
Sadly, none of the starlets in The Cockateer were as hot as Jennifer Connolly - though i bet one or two could have given her a run for her money acting-wise. Admit it - hot as she be - shes not a good actor.
-
awesome how they show him roaming the fog lit woods from a distance. i cant wait to see this.
-
Del Toro as the son of an English nobleman. If they do use the tool that was used in the original WOLF MAN where Lon Chaney Jr. has been in the USA for a long time, then I might buy it. Interesting side note, though... even Carl Siodmak, writer of the original, thought that casting of Chaney was a shitty idea. Why can't they get English actors to play English people? I'm still trying to wash the vomit off the back of the theater seat from when I saw Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves in BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA.
-
filmaker. he is a great small filmmaker. The butcher boy is his masterpiece. The best irish film ever made.
-
That was just the thing for me this morning. I don't need coffee for shit now. I do, however, need to see this movie asap. Remake? Yeah -- it's the Wolfman, people. It's been done before. Just so you know.
-
come and turn me into a monkey or something. Rick Baker is a Changian
