The new Friday the 13th reimagining will also be opening that weekend. Actually the opposite, Valkyrie moved after The Wolf Man vacated the slot. Here's the info: LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Tom Cruise's World War II thriller "Valkyrie" has pushed back its release date to 2009, the second postponement for a production that has endured its share of headaches. The MGM release has been moved from October 3 to February 13, coinciding with the U.S. Presidents Day holiday weekend. Last December, it was pulled from its original July 4 holiday weekend berth where it would have competed with the Angelina Jolie thriller "Wanted." "When an opening became available for President's Day Weekend, we seized the opportunity," said MGM distribution president Clark Woods, referring to Universal's recent decision to pull "The Wolf Man" out of that slot and into April 3.

I should have looked further into the Valkyrie move before posting incorrect info. No apologies needed, I should have posted the whole thing in my first post. I imagine that like Valkyrie, The Wolf Man which has had it's share of production issues (including a last minute director change), just needed more time. Also, as you say the audience for The Wolf Man is probably going to be the same audience as the one for the new Friday the 13th (which I have high hopes for being a huge fan of Marcus Nispel's Texas Chainsaw remake), and they weren't going to move out of a prime (for that audience) Friday the 13th slot, so they forced Universal to moved The Wolf Man. Speaking of release dates, I think the studio made a big mistake last year moving Rob Zombie's Halloween (like it or not) from October (near Halloween date) to August. There's no better time to open a Halloween film than October. Jim Clatterbaugh Editor/Publisher MFTV www.monstersfromthevault.com

I had gotten WOLF from the library this week and wondered why I hadn't revisited it since seeing it in the theatre. Then I was reminded. A first great 100 minutes ruined by a final 20-something minutes of potboiler shennanigans. And it was back from the James Spader......as......James Spader days when you knew he was the villian the minute he popped on screen. The make-up in WOLF was either Baker's most uninspired, or his hands were tied by the filmmakers.

I kinda like it; but I wonder if Nicholson didn't pull a Hull there & insist, "You ain't buryin' me under all that crap!" -Craig W.

And on that level at least, I think it works pretty well. I might be alone here though, I've just always had a soft-spot for that goofy little gem... Oh, before I forget: http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/11888 Bloody Disgusting has the scoop on a larger cast list for the film, including Geraldine Chaplin (sweeeet, wonder who she'll be?)!

Hmmm, Art Malik. He was in A Passage To India, The Living Daylights, and True Lies. Anyone think he might be playing the Bela role? I can see them casting him as a gypsy and he can also be really intense onscreen. And I could see Chaplin in the Maria O. role.

Joe Johnston is directing the following cast: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, Art Malik, Rob Dixon, Hugo Weaving, Nicholas Day, Michael Cronin, David Schofield, David Sterne, Roger Frost, Clive Russell and Geraldine Chaplin! We also learned the film arrives in theaters April 3, two months later than its February date. Like the 1941 original that starred Lon Chaney Jr., new pic will be set in Victorian England. Del Toro will play a man who returns from America to his ancestral homeland, gets bitten by a werewolf and begins a hairy moonlight existence. Armand's Corner of the Net Armand's Rancho del Cielo

Waitaminit - WAS the '41 original "Victorian?" Thought the setting was that nebulous "Universal Era?" Great weekend, -Craig W.

Waitaminit - WAS the '41 original "Victorian?" Until this very minute, I always assumed that the 1941 THE WOLF MAN was contemporary 1941, because of Larry's reference to having "done quite a number on that Mt. Wilson observatory" while working for an optical company in California. But apparently, The Mt. Wilson observatory in fact opened in the same year that Queen Victoria died, 1901! Therefore, discounting the late model roadsters, touring cars and loud ties, it's entirely possible that the 1941 original was, in fact, intended to be "Victorian"! There goes the whole Frankenstein timeline, right straight out the window.

(04/11/08 7:18 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	Sorry, Hal - I can't discount them that much! I dunno, Craig. It's not unheard of -- TCM ran ZIEGFELD GIRL (MGM, 1941) last night, chock full of contemporary 1941 fashions, but obviously set in the 1920s. THE WOLF MAN might indeed have been set in the Victorian era, but the writing, prop and wardrobe departments may not have been on the same page. Like the Columbia serial prop guy who provided The Batman with a full size working blowtorch for his utility belt!
