I used to be a Werewolf, by Vim Fuego	Sep 8th, 2007 12:29:06 AM
But I'm alright NOOWWWWWWWW. Well it's better than typing first.
Sweeeeeeeet by TheDohDoh	Sep 8th, 2007 12:30:11 AM
First with a silver bullet. Now, this is a film that is going to deliver. R-rated horror at its best. Classy.
Well, I'm not sure how much acting is actually involved by team america	Sep 8th, 2007 12:36:05 AM
...considering that's the same face he gave Scarlett Johansson when they were riding the same elevator.
do they really need Rick? by waggy	Sep 8th, 2007 12:37:48 AM
that picture tells me they do not
Emo-wolf or crime-fighting wolf? by Mullah Omar	Sep 8th, 2007 12:39:54 AM
I hope this isn't some self-pitying emo origin story. I'd much rather see someone with superpowers . . . ENJOY using those superpowers. I guess that depends on whether this iteration of the wolfman has any control when he wolfs out, but still, I hope this isn't yet another gloomy "poor me" superpower flick.

Scared me for a second! phewwww...
This looks great already. by LoneGun	Sep 8th, 2007 12:54:03 AM
I love werewolf films. I think we need some more good ones. The last one I remember really liking was WOLF with Jack Nickolson, except for the ending, when it degenerated into a standard "good guy vs. bad guy" showdown. Up until that part, it was pretty interesting and eerie.
!!! Wow. I forgot about this flick for a sec... by TheRealSeveren	Sep 8th, 2007 01:09:04 AM
but now its back on my radar and coming in fast. Secret screening at Fantastic Fest 08'? Please!
Is there a tentative release date for this? by Yeti	Sep 8th, 2007 01:12:11 AM
Gotta say I'm looking forward to this as there has been a shocking lack of decent Werewolf flicks out there (and no Underworld doesn't really count - as fun as it was)
One word, Benicio, my friend... by ewokstew	Sep 8th, 2007 01:12:57 AM
Moisturizer.
I just came by JackTheMime	Sep 8th, 2007 01:14:50 AM
Well, not really, but Rick Baker doing another werewolf picture? I'm there.
I'm howling with joy by vicious_bastard	Sep 8th, 2007 01:24:54 AM
Fantastic photo.
TheRealSeveren by THE KNIGHT	Sep 8th, 2007 01:31:29 AM
Last I heard, November 14th, 2008 is the release date. It'll be mighty close to Bond 22.
You've known about this for 3 months? by Midol Boy	Sep 8th, 2007 01:57:03 AM
And...uh...this wouldn't be considered "cool news"?
Looks like Jack Nicholson in Wolf... by Sledge Hammer	Sep 8th, 2007 02:27:27 AM
...still, I'll be interested to see how this one turns out.
I wanna see RICK's photoshop version by half vader	Sep 8th, 2007 02:51:10 AM
As that's how he does the visuals for his designs now (now being the last decade or more). On the other hand it'd be cool to keep it secret 'til the release date. If it spills earlier I know I'll cave though. I wonder if the face will be oldschool or a combination with the best of practical and digital? Can't wait, such a big fan!
Fucking RAD. by Traumnovelle	Sep 8th, 2007 03:36:48 AM
Both those dudes are so unbelievably cool. Some girl I know went to a party at Benicio's house, and he was passed out drunk in his bedroom. She walked up to him, and he lurched out of unconsciousness and told her to, and I quote, "Pull out her ass". She didn't know what to do, and he fell back on the bed and told her to get out of his house. This girl is a good friend of mine that I am 99 percent sure wouldn't lie about shit like that, but in any case, that story makes him about eighty billion times cooler to me, when he was already so fucking cool to begin with. Oh yea, and this Wolfman movie will be awesome and amazing. I heart Rick Baker.
So, Donald Sutherland dies then. by Midol Boy	Sep 8th, 2007 04:06:49 AM
Any other spoilers you want to post first?
Greatness. And a pimp cane! I just pissed myself! by alucardvsdracula	Sep 8th, 2007 04:13:26 AM
Mother Cunting funning dude. Oh and cannot wait for this sweeeet bit of fanboy cinema. Just hope it doesn't turn into a Jack Nicholson size shitefest ala Wolf.
Took 3 months? by ButtfuckZydeco	Sep 8th, 2007 04:44:44 AM
For the check to clear?

The Howling, American Werewolf in London, Wolf, and.... by Bobo_Vision	Sep 8th, 2007 06:05:07 AM
...the Thriller video; Baker did the wolf make-up for all those films, so he's the obvious and perfect choice.
Add an Aztec Wrestling Mummy Woman and you've got a hit by Uncle Stan	Sep 8th, 2007 06:26:02 AM
Now that's how you make a hit movie (and you've got to use James Brown on the trailer: "I feel good...").
I wonder if Del Toro or Chaney had the same problem... by thundercleats	Sep 8th, 2007 06:28:26 AM
...as this werewolf? http://tinyurl.com/284bto Simple, but it made me laugh.

Interesting choice of role for Del Toro.
Why is the word sexy (in parentheses) ? by CarmillaVonDoom	Sep 8th, 2007 09:06:00 AM
I defy anyone to come up with a negative thing to say about this project! We're already looking at GOLD.
Rob Bottin was fx creator for The Howling by BrandLoyalist	Sep 8th, 2007 09:18:07 AM
Baker got a consultant credit though; never knew that. I always prefered the Howling werewolves, what with the bony knuckles and the long pointy claws and all. Bet they'll be doing a snoutless werewolf here like the original. Anything but Underground's round-headed puma-wolves... what a let down that was.
Uh is that the one about the hooker with the disantery by abner pepper	Sep 8th, 2007 09:31:03 AM
Del Toro is crazier than a rat in shit.
Mullah Omar, re: "Emo-wolf or crime-fighting wolf?" by Immortal_Fish	Sep 8th, 2007 09:35:05 AM
Did you see the original? The character was all about self pity, especially leading up to the first transformation scene. This is one property where that stuff actually kinda belongs. Now, if he's a detective or drives an ambulance, then I'm with you.

It's "dysentery" not "disantery" by YackBacker	Sep 8th, 2007 10:23:42 AM
Steely Dan is not a person, they're called fringe benefits, not "french" benefits, James Dean was the actor, Jimmy Dean makes sausages, and it's not the leaning "Tower of Pizza." Good day, sir.
Where's the trailer??? by football	Sep 8th, 2007 10:30:53 AM
I'm interested to see whether Andrew Kevin Walker's script can better American Warewolf in London which, despite the years, is still the best warewolf film to date. Also, what about a spoiler alert with the picture of Benicio killing Sunderland?

It's YakBacker not YackBacker.

re The Howling by Fireball XL-5	Sep 8th, 2007 02:23:04 PM
Someone above mentioned that Baker worked on that. Just a correction: It was Rob Bottin. Speaking of whom, where the hell is that guy these days?

Baker, Bottin and The Howling, and Rod Holt & Andy W by half vader	Sep 8th, 2007 10:52:00 PM
You guys do realise that was the movie that caused them to fall out don't you? Go look it up lazy boys! Rod Holt, if you know the story of THAT one, then that's the best in-joke of the thread! Nice art BTW. Andy & Football, you did read the article, right? Or maybe you were joking I guess.

O John Landis what happened to you? by Series7	Sep 8th, 2007 11:40:24 PM
I remember in some interview on some best of horror movies somewhere, or possible DVD extra or commentary on An American Werewolf in London where John Landis was telling a story about the dream sequence in London and how it was inspired from Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie. SO what was the inspiration for The Stupids and BBY2k? Money??? Also speaking of Luis Bunel when is there going to be a DALI! bio pic? Fuck Frida and Goya, Dali was fucked up, you know I could see Sacha playing a decent Dali. I know there was that short movie with that guy from Yes, but I could swear I heard something about a Dali movie. Why not let the two Del Toro's make the movie? I could see that.

WOLF: One giant turd of a werewolf movie. by Nosferatu Jones	Sep 9th, 2007 07:15:24 AM
Could Mike Nichols have made WOLF any more pretentious and bloodless? Not the worst werewolf movie ever, but a COLOSSAL disappontment, given the talent involved. They all seemed embarrassed that they were making a "werewolf" movie.

Everyone knows you can only do practical werewolf effects. The CG one's always ruin the movie.
ugliest molars in the business by ArcadianDS	Sep 9th, 2007 03:08:50 PM
That's what happens when you skimp on the porcelian caps - you wind up with pub photos that show you bearing a beautiful, perfectly aligned and colored row of incisors, framed by sets of molars that look like someone set off a landmine in a potato patch. To future actors: Spend the top dollar; get them ALL capped.

After Jurassic Park in '93, how many people would by CreasyBear	Sep 9th, 2007 08:19:20 PM
have thought Baker would still be getting work in 2007 CGI-era cinema?
"from this amazingly original and gifted actor.": by The Ender Smites Foes	Sep 9th, 2007 08:31:17 PM
I fell asleep after that sentence. I woke up to write the following, " You're an ass kisser." Thanks
The answer to that creasybear by half vader	Sep 10th, 2007 12:23:03 AM
Is anyone who knows about what Baker's been doing since then (not being facetious btw). He's not myopic about cg in the same way he wasn't a purist and neo-luddite when it came to animatronics. Also his eye and good design is why his Z-brush/Modo stuff is already better in terms of modelling than many who have been doing it for years. Why can't anyone see history has only repeated itself where makeup is concerned? The same basic advantages and disadvantages still exist generally speaking. Which is why The Judge is such a cool makeup. It mixes oldschool with new beautifully!
Del Toro would make an awesome Conan by chien_sale	Sep 10th, 2007 02:38:05 AM
Let him gain extra pounds then work out with body builders and given his acting and his impressive look it would be a great King Conan. Maybe better than Swartzy.
I've never been into Wolfmen by CherryValance	Sep 10th, 2007 11:20:40 AM
but this could change things. We can count on the acting and make up, so hopefully the rest of it will be good too.

Didn't wanna spend too long so didn't worry too much about brushstrokes. This is fun. Too bad not many joined in. Harry! Make a comp! I don't care if there's no prize, I just wanna see what all our super critical TBers can do!

Was always picturing him with a unibrow. Now I know why. Really hope this one thrills. Baker knows CGI can't be used all the time. Real creature fx are much frightening to the eye.
