I like the look of that. Wolfman I mean, not fucking Twilight:EMOon obviously. Reminds me of the Hammer one with Oliver Reed quite a bit but I'd imagine that was down to the era, and also quite intentional.

Danny Elfman, the original composer for this Wolfman score, has left the project. His replacement? Paul Haslinger, who scored the first and third Underworld movies and Anderson’s Death Race remake.
Whilst I'm happy Elfman is out it is a shame they went with Haslinger.

Unsurprisingly, given all the troubles the shoot has had, this has been handed to two new editors to whip into shape. Surprisingly they've managed to bag two with a great pedigree - Goldblatt and Murch.

ood news to share about Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman. Having said that, this is a film I’ve been feeling really quite down on since original director Mark Romanek left the project and, to be honest, I don’t think anything we could end up with now will be even a mere shade of what Romanek could have realised.
The lastest turnover on the production is the hiring of two new editors, in the stead of the previously attached Dennis Virkler - though at least Virkler got to add the film to his stunning resume of crowd displeasers, alongside Xanadu, Freejack, the Schumacher Batman films and other such gems. The production really couldn’t have called on a pair of more impressive names to save the day, however, with action expert Mark Goldblatt and all-round Edit Bay Yoda Walter Murch getting the nod.
Amongst other credits, Goldblatt was the editor of Cameron’s Terminator films and the only Michael Bay films to be remotely comprehensible, and directed second unit on Robocop; while Murch was the sound editor on The Conversation and The Godfather Part 2, sound and picture editor of Apocalypse Now, editor of Ghost and The Talented Mr. Ripley, and director of Return to Oz.

Apparently Universal have emailed practically every movie news site to inform them that The Wolfman has been 'R-Rated for bloody horror, violence and gore'

A bit of bloody horror, violence and gore never hurt anyone 
Still looking forward to this loads, and having a fantastic duo of editors should help to steer it in the right direction.

Greetings! ScoreKeeper serving up a little nugget I thought would be fun to digest. MovieScore Magazine is reporting that Danny Elfman is back on board THE WOLFMAN (2010) and Paul Haslinger, who replaced Elfman after his score was originally rejected, is now out.
Oh, this is going to be fun. At least I'm interested in this film again.

The film's supposed to be out in three weeks. If they're changing composer again, surely it'll slip?
According to the original source, his existing score is back in the film. He's not back on the job. Additional composers are working to finish it off.

Go to the official site below and leave it running. You'll then get a trailer which I think contains new footage. Hard to believe this is finally going to appear in a couple of weeks.

Saw this last night (had been hoping to see Green Zone but no dice...). It's fucking awful. Just fucking awful. Anthony Hopkins needs to be lead to the nearest glue factory and put out of his misery. He's embarrassing. Awful, doddering old half-wit. I guess him and BDT got a very large pay cheque to make them eat this much shit.

I wouldn't go as far to call it awful but the film really is a mess. Things just seem to happen with no real build up.
I quite liked Hopkins' performance, thought it was suitable hammy when needed. Weaving was good too considering how slight his part was. Everyone else was just dull, including Del Toro unfortunately. Emily Blunt as a love interest is non-existent.
Even though it's quite gory in places, it felt like the film was often holding back. The Wolfman just didn't feel savage enough to me, there should have been far more carnage especially during the second transformation scene.
There were touches of brilliance though, namely in the cinematography. It definitely tips its hat to the Universal monster flicks of old and even has a touch of Hammer Horror at times.
A big disappointment really as it had so much potential. Maybe the rumoured extended cut can fix some of the issues.

Sad to hear the bad news on this one :) Given the massive amount of problems it had coming to screen I can't say I'm surprised but just really disappointed that it didn't all come together in the end. Will still certainly see it.
What was the wolfman transformation like? Did Rick Baker do himself proud?
Wonder now what Romanek's version would have been like.

Yeah, the troubled production is plain to see in the final product. A mate of mine who didn't know of the troubles said that if felt like "scenes were missing".
Sad to report but the transformations are almost complete CG. I've not seen any of the Underworld flicks but from the clips I have seen, Wolfman is better.
I was gutted not to see a more Baker heavy transformation. The full on Wolfman prosthetic is good though, more Lon Chaney than American Werewolf but if you've seen the posters or trailer, you already know that.
I'm not sure what is more disappointing – the lack of Baker's work or the subdued Del Toro performance. Del Toro plays an actor in the film so you'd think he'd be a ever so slightly more dramatic or flamboyant. Instead his acting background is only relied upon to hint at possible schizophrenic tendencies.
I'm trying to think of how Romanek's version would have looked. Conceptually I don't think it would have been much different (what with him leaving late in pre=production) but I'd imagine the tone and atmosphere would differ. We'd probably still have the hacked script though. There's obviously a fair chunk of lore that has been left out. No idea if it was even shot though, so who knows if we'll ever see it.
As negative as I might sound, I still think it's worth a watch. Not necessarily on the big screen but definitely on Blu-ray.
