The Wolfman Posters Online!
Universal Pictures have revealed their first two posters for “The Wolfman,” starring Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, Anthony Hopkins, and Hugo Weaving.
“The Wolfman” plot: Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar® winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother…and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.
Lawrence Talbot’s childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate.

Anthony Hopkins has signed on to star in Marvel Studios’ upcoming adaptation of “Thor.”
Hopkins will play Odin, the king of Asgard and the father of Thor and Loki. Chris Hemsworth is playing Thor, Tom Hiddleston plays Loki and Natalie Portman – Jane Foster, his human love interest.
In the film, Thor’s arrogance and recklessness re-ignite an ancient war, so he’s cast out of Asgard and down to Earth. There, as his human form Donald Blake, he meets a nurse named Jane Foster. When Loki comes to Earth Thor is forced to take up the hammer and fight him.

Nicole Kidman Joins Woody Allen’s New Movie
Last December Nicole Kidman told that her role in Baz Luhrmann’s “Australia” may be her last and that she is not interested in making films any more.
But now she has joined the cast of Woody Allen’s newest still-untitled film. So, apparently Kidman still is in the game. She will join an impressive cast – Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto (“Slumdog Millionaire”), Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins.
After successful “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “Whatever Works,” which will be released in June, Woody Allen will start a new project in London this summer, but no one knows what this is about at all.
Keira Knightley New Movie/King Lear Cancelled
Keira Knightley has signed up to appear in Mark Romanek’s sci-fi project “Never Let Me Go.” Knightley will star alongside Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan in the cloning-themed movie.
The story revolves around a trio who grew up in a boarding school with no contact or knowledge of the outside world until they discover they are clones grown for the sole purpose of organ donation.
Alex Garland adapted Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel into the script.
Shooting is expected to begin to London and Norfolk in April. It is Romanek’s first feature since 2002’s “One Hour Photo.”
Knightley also is attached to play Zelda Sayre, author and wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, in “The Beautiful and the Damned” which will centre on the couple’s troubled relationship. She will also star with Colin Farrell in “London Boulevard,” a crime drama that marks William Monahan’s directing debut and in the Columbia Pictures remake of “My Fair Lady” as the simple Cockney flower girl who is transformed into a lady.
Unfortunately, “King Lear” – the British production of Shakespeare’s tragedy – project announced at last year’s Cannes film festival has been cancelled, despite A-list cast of Keira Knightley, Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts and Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins was due to play the ageing monarch, with Knightley signed up for the role of his youngest daughter, Cordelia. Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts were also on the cast list as the king’s disloyal elder daughters, Regan and Goneril.
A spokesperson for the film company said: “Ruby [Films] are no longer doing it – the film will no longer go ahead.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Al Pacino and director Michael Radford will reunite to make their own adaptation of King Lear following their collaboration on “The Merchant Of Venice” in 2004.
Pacino has never played Lear before, on stage nor on screen. Until now, he had always turned down Lear offers on the basis that he wasn’t “ready”. But producer Barry Navidi says that Radford “came up with the most brilliant adaptation and Al and I flipped for it.”
Perfect role for Anthony Hopkins, actually he’s great actor so every role is perfect role for him. But, we’ll see Pacino as King Lear, because he’s ready now!
Antonio Banderas Joins New Woody Allen Film
After successful “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “Whatever Works,” which will be released in June, Woody Allen starts a new still-untitled project.
Antonio Banderas has signed on to star in the film, joining the already-announced Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins and Naomi Watts.
Freida Pinto, “Slumdog Millionaire” discovery, has also signed up for Woody Allen’s latest film. His film will mark the first post-”Slumdog” project for the Indian-born model-turned-actress.
This will be Banderas’ first collaboration with Allen.
Plot details have been kept under wraps for the film.
The film is slated to start production this summer in London.
Wolfman Delayed?
Fangoria claims to have heard that Universal’s upcoming remake of “The Wolfman” may be moving out of it’s proposed April 3rd, 2009 release slot to a Fall 2009 release date instead.
No confirmation on any of this yet, but maybe Universal is thinking a Halloween release is more fitting?
The new update of the classic Universal monster is being helmed by director Joe Johnston from a script by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en) and David Self. Stars Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving.
