THE WOLFMAN Gets Push Back Again!
We haven’t heard anything about “The Wolfman,” horror/action which stars Benicio Del Toro, in a while. For those who wait the movie this isn’t a great news.
Universal has pushed back “The Wolfman” again, this time to February 12th, 2010. This is the fourth time it’s been delayed – from February 13 to April 3 and then November 6, this year.
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.
