GRRRR! by skywalkerfamily	Feb 22nd, 2008 02:58:11 AM
Scary wolfman.
Del Toro rocks by mah04j	Feb 22nd, 2008 03:03:04 AM
Awesome actor who should look pretty scary dugg out as a werewolf. really looking forward to him as Che though, can you imagine ANYBODY else for that role?
Check out the original "Werewolf Of London".. by Droogie Alex	Feb 22nd, 2008 03:13:44 AM
Lots of interesting ideas, for the time, including the first werewolf vs. werewolf sceen.
Just got off the phone with Del Toro by Motoko Kusanagi	Feb 22nd, 2008 04:01:49 AM
and told him that he fracking rocks!!!
Condensed 8mm versions!!! by mr.brownstone	Feb 22nd, 2008 04:21:03 AM
The first movies I ever saw were condensed 8mm versions of Walt Disney's Robin Hood, The Three Caballeros, Now You See Him Now You Don't and One Million Years B.C. The dinosaurs in One Million Years B.C. scared the crap out of me.
Experiment 626 by mr.brownstone	Feb 22nd, 2008 04:22:47 AM
With Joe Johnston that ain't gonna happen.
Xiphos by mr.brownstone	Feb 22nd, 2008 04:23:41 AM
Agreed.

Please stop castrating my favorite movies.
Can't wait for this... by sonnyfern	Feb 22nd, 2008 05:35:34 AM
The Howling..best looking werewolves EVER...love those wolves..big ears and everything...that movie literally changed my life and when I made my own werewolf movie (Cold Blooded...look it up) that's the look I went for. But An American WereWolf In London is the better movie, bar none. Best transformation EVER...but it barely beats The Howling. I can count all the truly great werewolf movies on two hands, it's truly a wasted genre. It'll be great to finally get another one.
The Company of Wolves by yodalovesyou	Feb 22nd, 2008 05:41:37 AM
I was always disappointed that Neil Jordan's film wasn't about a more mature young woman who fucks a man who is also a Werewolf. Instead it's a weird coming of age movie... I think I'd write a Werewolf movie about a 19 year old Puritan girl who falls for a man who happens to be a werewolf and in the end she gives birth a half-wolf baby!!! Man, I'm bored.
OTHER FILMS WE'D LIKE TO SEE DOWN TO 8 MINS OR LESS... by Greigy Just Wanted To Say	Feb 22nd, 2008 06:25:45 AM
Titanic (actually fuck that destroy the negative, just think how many great Cameron films we could have had in the last 10 years if it wasn't for that appalling syrup fest) Forrest Gump (see Titanic), the Coda to Lord of the Rings (for God's sake the monster's dead... roll the credits).... and so on..
Seriously! by hamslime	Feb 22nd, 2008 06:47:29 AM
Romanek leaves: Strike one! Andrew Kevin Walker's scipt get's rewritten: Strike two, three, four, and five. This movie is officially off of my radar. Who wants to take bets that Benicio Del Toro bails?
i was a super8 nut by JimmyJoe RedSky	Feb 22nd, 2008 07:11:34 AM
i got my first camera, a Bell&Howell, from Sears when i was 12 - cartridge loader, no sound - i made some very bad backyard movies - but what i really liked was filming stuff off tv - id set up the tripod so the camera would frame the tv screen perfectly - i filmed a lot of "the incredible hulk" and "battlestar galactica" and asy Harryhausen stuff that would come on - when Siskel & Ebert reviewed "empire strikes back" i filmed the scenes they aired - i was a sad little zit covered nerd, but that camera was very cool - the projector i got with it was a cheap piece of shit though - ruined a lot of my reels - by the time we got a vcr, about 1984, my camera was collecting dust in a closet - i shoulda held onto it - oh, and, "the wolfman" is going to be great - keeps sounding better and better
While I do Love Hopkins... by DocPazuzu	Feb 22nd, 2008 07:30:45 AM
...his presence in a film hasn't inplied greatness for quite some time. When he's good, he's incredible, but when he's bad, he's REALLY bad. His Van Helsing is almost as bad as Roxburgh's Dracula in that other movie.
inplied=implied by DocPazuzu	Feb 22nd, 2008 07:32:35 AM
Christ...
that was hilarious by kafka07	Feb 22nd, 2008 07:46:57 AM
I know actual people that look and even howl like that werewolf...especially after a few
AICN must be held accountable for these remakes by Spoiler_Man	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:12:04 AM
Look at the way Harry and his friends are hyping yet ANOTHER remake. Its almost like they're all tired of movies and just want to watch the same shit over and over again. This HAS to stop.
Werewolf in London terrible? !! by ScottinDC	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:13:50 AM
Apparently they're passing around the wacky-weed...Werewolf in London remains the yardstick by which ALL other werewolf movies are compared. It was gory, sexy. sleazy, funny and scary all at one. That takes TALENT. The transformation scene was worth the price of admission alone. The repeat nightmare sequence still gives me chills. Great friggin' movie.
Re-writing AK Walker is always a step down. by genro	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:24:16 AM
He's still the best screenwriter in the biz.
Rewrite? If they're "softening" the script I'll be furious! by brokentusk	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:27:01 AM
Maybe the re-write has nothing to do with softening the material and removing a lot of the violence, but I have a feeling that's exactly what is going to happen. I can't see Joe Johnston, the director of JUMANJI, HIDALGO and MIGHTY JOE YOUNG making an R-rated WOLFMAN film. When Romanek was on board, this was one of my most anticpated releases. Now? Now the whole project just breaks my heart.
wow! Shaky cam all those years ago too! by Datascream	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:33:57 AM
:P
Oliver Reed was AWESOME by Purgatori	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:39:09 AM
Curse of the Werewolf had one of the most tragic and beautiful werewolves to cross the silver screen. I loved it. The make up was great and the acting was too. Reed rocked it. That's what I was hoping this would be more like.
brokentusk by HueyFreeman	Feb 22nd, 2008 09:41:51 AM
Joe Johnston didn't direct "Mighty Joe Young". Ron "City Slickers" Underwood did.
Yeah, that's what I thought by Vern	Feb 22nd, 2008 10:27:18 AM
They couldn't wait around for Romanek because the writer's strike had a week left, and he wanted to rewrite. So they hired a mediocre director to take over, and then waited around for him to have it rewritten. I bet you anything they end up spending more money on the movie, delaying it longer and making a movie that's not very good. A brilliant strategy.
Nice Monster Squad reference... by fat lenny	Feb 22nd, 2008 10:40:27 AM
Totally forgot about that movie till now. Must find it on DVD.
honey, i shrunk the wolfman. by RustyStardust	Feb 22nd, 2008 11:21:21 AM
i have lost all interest in this movie. despite how awesome deltoro is...
way to go, harry. by RustyStardust	Feb 22nd, 2008 11:24:22 AM
all yer bitchin' and moanin' is bringin' us a wafer thin mint...
that headline intrigued me by troutpencil	Feb 22nd, 2008 12:43:06 PM
I was really curious what the fuck it meant, and had to click.
HueyFreeman by brokentusk	Feb 22nd, 2008 12:44:51 PM
You're right, my mistake. My point still stands though.
Re-release The Monster Squad! by TokyoJoe	Feb 22nd, 2008 12:48:35 PM
I'd give my left nut to see it on the big screen!!!
Abberline huh? by Happyfat73	Feb 22nd, 2008 03:23:48 PM
Interesting... as long as he isn't an opium-addicted psychic, we should be cool. Does this mean there'll be Jack the Ripper references too?
Unless this film has an amazing trailer by haggardatbest	Feb 22nd, 2008 09:18:13 PM
it will open at #5 or below. No one gives a shit. They are really going to have to Wow us, with or without this cast, and it is a good cast.
Wolfman look by LoLWut	Feb 22nd, 2008 09:52:58 PM
Really hope they use the look that The Howling used for werewolfs, Still think that has the best look for them.
I love... by mr.brownstone	Feb 22nd, 2008 10:09:52 PM
The fleeting stop motion werewolves in the moonlight at the end of The Howling.
The Howling by sonnyfern	Feb 23rd, 2008 01:16:49 AM
Is an awesome werewolf movie..with the best looking wolves...it really kind of brought the thing into a whole new era, but AWIL has it beat, it's more of a true werewolf movie...and that transformation scene...forget about it...amazing.
Abberline? by palimpsest	Feb 23rd, 2008 02:07:32 PM
So we're doing Jack The Ripper was a werewolf? Abberline was the London copper originally in charge of the Ripper investigations. And he was nothing like Johnny Depp in FROM HELL (much more like the Robbie Coltrane character in that movie, or incidentally, more like how Alan Moore wrote him in the first place)...
HOWLING transformation scene by palimpsest	Feb 23rd, 2008 02:15:12 PM
Rick Baker helped Rob Bottin with that, using some of the methods he was supposed to keep under wraps for AMERICAN WEREWOLF. When John Landis saw the footage, he was incensed, and made Baker do the full body transformation in natural light in WEREWOLF to up the stakes...
ok, this is a point i've always wanted to make... by mightythor	Feb 23rd, 2008 10:58:33 PM
a werewolf is a man who turns completely into a wolf. many cultures have comperable myths. this is even reflected in the original lcjr flick when bela lugosi, no less, in wolfen form, bits lon chaney jr. he transforms into a transitional figure, hence, wolf-man. thank you and good night.
