New trailer for The Wolfman has hit! Bring your silver-headed cane and wolfsbane!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I have the horrible feeling that this movie is going to piss me off. Now that's not because I think it's going to suck. I don't. Actually, the footage in the new trailer is really sharp (for the most part). It looks like a gorgeous movie, Anthony Hopkins chews a movie's worth of scenery just in the damn trailer and the final physical Wolfman looks absolutely killer.

But the CGI shots don't seem to be much improved from what we've seen before. The bendy fingers thing looks cool, but knowing they replaced all of Rick Baker's transformation effects with computer effects has me worried.

CG is a great tool and could be used very effectively in this movie... there are some shots that look pretty great in the new trailer, like the hand transforming against the cobblestones, but there's a bit of inconsistency with the effects. Some of the later CG shots in the trailer look VAN HELSING level bad.

I'm just going to have to hope that they're early renders and that they'll ultimately match up to the great atmosphere of the rest of the film. But if they're not, this is going to be a very aggravating "almost there" kind of movie.

Check out the new trailer and see if you agree!

Click for the Wolfman (Click-click-click-click)!!!
