More Problems for "The Wolfman!" Composer Danny Elfman Has Left Production!
10 November 2009 5:47 PM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
What's going on with Universal's "The Wolfman?" First, it was the problematic release date. First, the Benicio Del Toro-starrer was supposed to be released Feb. 13 of this year, then was moved to April 3, and then Nov. 6. Finally, the film is supposed to howl into theaters Feb. 12 of next year. (See "What? "The Wolfman" Moved Again? See What Else Universal is Changing")
Now, we're learning that composer Danny Elfman has exited the project! Cinemusic is reporting that, "There were rumblings deep in the Elfman fan community. And it looks like those rumblings are now mumblings . Danny Elfman has left The Wolf Man, apparently due to scheduling conflicts. But if you believe rumors, it.s due to problems with the film."
I'm tired of this film already and it's not even out yet! »

Birthday Suits: Oscar-Snubbed
10 November 2009 5:11 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Today's birthday list doesn't make me feel celebratory so much as oscarighteously furious. Perhaps I should explain. It's only the four first birthday boys whipping me into a golden frenzy. Then things calm down.

1889 Claude Rains, never won an Oscar. This despite being a great screen actor, whose filmography reads like a catalogue of Golden Age greatness. He's an actor who made indelible contributions to not 1, not 2 but 7 Best Picture nominees, a number that doesn't even reflect films like Notorious, Now Voyager, The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, Mrs. Skeffington or The Greatest Story Ever Told. He didn't even get an honorary statue!
1925 Richard Burton, never won an Oscar. This despite winning exactly as many nominations as Liz Taylor won husbands.
1928 Ennio Moriccone has never won an Oscar. This despite being a world reknowned composer, being worshipped by film fanatics and revolutionizing how people scored Westerns. »

'The Hobbit' And 'The A-Team' Cameos In Today's Dailies -- 11/10/09
10 November 2009 3:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
-- Let the speculation begin. "Howling Mad" Murdock actor Dwight Schultz will be showing up for a cameo in Joe Carnahan's "The A-Team," according to a fansite. Hopefully, this means we'll be seeing other cameos from the rest of the team. Who doesn't want to see Mr. T give this young guns A-Team a vote of confidence with a tiny cameo role. Hell, he can leave his gold chains at home if it makes him happy. Schultz is great, but the fans want what they want: bring back T. (The Official Dwight Schultz Fansite, via Cinematical)
-- "Mad Men" producer Matthew Weiner is turning his attention to film now that the latest season is finished. He's now getting set to helm "You Are Here," a romantic comedy that he wrote. Independent financing is already in place and the cast will include the likes of Jennifer Aniston and "The Hangover »

Elfman Out of 'The Wolf Man'
9 November 2009 9:25 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
More behind-the-scenes trouble with The Wolf Man, Universal’s much-delayed horror project starring Benicio del Toro? Sure sounds like it.
According to Cinemusic, Danny Elfman, known for the operatic scores of films like Batman, is out as composer of The Wolf Man. He has been replaced by Paul Halsinger, who was part of the 80’s synth-rock group Tangerine Dream. Halsinger composed the scores for the films Underworld, Crank, and Death Race.
It sounds like the latest setback for the project, which has been pushed back four times since its original November 12, 2008 release date. Universal shifted The Wolf Man to February 12, 2009, then April 3, 2009, followed by a move to November 6, 2009. Now it’s due to come out on February 12, 2010, hopefully taking advantage of a good weekend for horror films in recent years.
Joe Johnston, director of The Wolf Man, had been enthusiastic about potentially hiring Elfman as his composer. In a 2008 interview, »
The Reincarnation Of David Fincher
8 November 2009 11:04 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
David Fincher's next gig, following Facebook app The Social Network which he's just started shooting, looks set to be The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. It'll re-team the director with Seven's writer Andrew Kevin Walker, who will adapt the novel by Max Ehrlich.The 35-year-old supernatural thriller involves a university lecturer's attempts to prove he's the reincarnation of somebody who died shortly before he was born, and to solve the mystery of his murder, for which the killer was never caught. It was filmed once before: a 1975 Bing Crosby production by J Lee Thompson, starring Margot Kidder and Michael Sarrazin, and adapted by Ehrlich himself. We all know David Fincher's stellar trajectory from Alien 3 to Benjamin Button, but Walker's path has been rockier. He followed Seven with the dodgy 8mm (heavily rewritten by Joel Schumacher) and Tim Burton's awesome Sleepy Hollow, but then, through uncredited rewrites »
Quick List: 5 Movies That Scare The Bejesus Out of Me
30 October 2009 3:32 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Well, it's just about 'All Hallows Eve' and if you're anything like me, then you have already depleted your candy supply and you've been watching as many horror movies as you can get your hands on. And as I've watched everything from The Wolf Man to 13 Ghosts I've been thinking how few movies actually scare me -- the rise of torture porn was nauseating, sure, but scary? Not really. Over at Den of Geek they've compiled a list of movies that scare them and it has inspired me to think about what flicks have given me the honest to goodness heebie-jeebies over the years.
Usually when I watch horror, it's with an eye for comedy and usually the lamer the film, the better. But occasionally there's a film that actually does what it's supposed to: scare the crap out of me. But as much as I tried to find a »

Why Aren't Werewolves as Popular as Vampires?
30 October 2009 2:17 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Benicio Del Toro as The Wolfman, one of several werewolf movies in the making. In the cobwebbed stable of classic movie monsters, the vampire occupies the premier position. He leads in Halloween costumes, remakes, and magazine think pieces. Meanwhile, the werewolf, while not as marginal as the Invisible Man or whatever lurks in the Black Lagoon, is clearly not A-list. Or at least he hasn’t been for a long time. That could soon change. Lycanthropes run wild in New Moon, opening November 20, and the big-budget remake of The Wolf Man, whose trailer shows serious promise, arrives early next year. There are several other wolf-themed entertainments on the way, including an MTV series reworking Teen Wolf and, most tantalizingly, Jack and Diane, a lesbian werewolf film set in New York with Olivia Thirlby and Alison Pill. (The project has been delayed, but will hopefully still happen.) With this wild pack galloping toward us, »

That Was the Wolf Week That Was
23 October 2009 3:28 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Two-thousand-and-nine may be the year of the ox in the Chinese Zodiac, but in Hollywood, it’s the year of the wolf, what with Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Wolverine, Twilight: New Moon and The Wolf Man all coming out within a span of 12 months. But this past week has had an especially high wolf content. (Speaking of wolf content, I once ordered a bottle of concentrated wolf urine from Amazon just to see what the deal was—I warn you never to try this indoors: it was the foulest, most devastingly, primordially evil stench I’ve ever inhaled in my life that required we evacuate half the office. Anyway, back to Wolf Week.) We hereby bring you a list of the week’s lupine links: • Vf Daily’s own Andi Teran interviewed three of the Quileute werewolves from Twilight: New Moon: Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon, and Chaske Spencer. »

The Crow Revamp Has a Script. Also: “Not a Remake”
21 October 2009 9:29 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
We've known that Blade director, Stephen Norrington, was scribing a theatrical remake of 1994's The Crow for almost a year now by following all the milky Goth tears. And now, according to an unidentified source via Mania, Norrington has finally submitted his script to Relativity Media (The Wolf Man, A Serious Man), where it has been "very well received." The source also says that the movie, yet another adaptation of James O'Barr comic book character, is moving forward to the casting stage. What a relief says an unidentified, easily persuaded Crow loyalist. If anything, the tidbit places the project back on our radar, and makes me ponder who should land the role of the undead, murdered rock musician (discussed below). Norrington has avoided the scorn of the franchise's followers, some of whom rival Juggalos in 24/7 Halloween silliness, by declaring his script a revamp and not a remake; i.e. The Crow »

Classic Movie Monsters vs. Modern Movie Monsters
8 October 2009 8:29 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It’s classic movie monster time! I was going to wait until Christmas to talk about this, but now seemed like a more appropriate time. We are going to compare the original black and white movie monsters (and the actors who brought them to life), against more modern versions and actors to see who comes out on top.
I know there are dozens of classic monsters, including the Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Fly, giant robots, aliens, and over-sized insects/animals, but I’m going to focus on the more famous literary monsters : Frankenstein’s monster, The Wolf Man, Dracula and The Mummy.
Let’s start with my favorite character, Frankenstein’s monster. Most people incorrectly refer to the monster As Frankenstein - but actually, author Mary Shelley never gave the creature a name. In the 1818 novel, Shelley writes about mad scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein and how he learns to create life. »
