Lawrence Talbot’s (Benicio Del Toro) 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.
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.

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.
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?
