The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Trailer

Have you ever been curious as to what a remake of the Fantasia short starring brooms and a mouse would look like if it featured Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel? Nope? Well here’s your chance anyway.
From the looks of this trailer, Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) has made a family adventure film that seems surprisingly not awful. When Cage looks like he’s having even the slightest trace of fun, that’s a good sign. I don’t know if I’m “excited,” yet, but I’m much less skeptical.
Check out the trailer below. The film will be released on July 16, 2010.

Wolfman gets rating

The update of the classic monster movie The Wolf Man hasn't had an easy transformation from start to hairy howling finish.
First, director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) abruptly left shortly before filming, and was replaced by FX guy Joe Johnston (Jumanji, Jurassic Park III). The Universal remake shot in early-mid 2008, with rumors of behind-the-scenes difficulties and reported reshoots. The release date lurched all the way through 2009 until it's current slot on Feb. 12, 2010.

Explore Universal's 'Monster Legacy'

Universal Pictures is gearing up for the February 12 release of The Wolfman in a big way. The studio just launched its multimedia Monster Legacy website, on which fans can learn about the history of Universal's iconic creatures and the films in which they've starred -- leading up to 2010's The Wolfman. This is a pretty great idea, as the Universal monster films have yet to be matched for the sheer quality of their atmosphere and imagery. So no matter how The Wolfman turns out, if even a handful of impressionable horror fans discover the original 1941 film (titled The Wolf Man) or The Bride of Frankenstein or The Mummy, I'd say this site was a worthwhile venture... For those who can't get enough, the

The Howling is Reborn

It appears as if our prayers have been answered friends, and werewolves will be following vampires in the great 'classic monsters rebirth' cycle of this century. Universal is hitting hard with The Wolf Man early next year, and there are remakes of An American Werewolf in London and An American Werewolf in Paris are being whispered about in the halls of Hollywood. The only potential downside to all of this is if the Twilight effect kicks in, and future werewolf movies are stripped of their grit and given a glossy, teen-targeted look.
Insert the potentially problematic premise of The Howling: Reborn, announced today via Variety. Indie producers Joel Kastelberg and Etchie Stroh are setting up a remake of the 1981 Joe Dante film, which followed a news anchor being stalked by a killer who turns out to be a werewolf. This new film will follow more of a Gossip Girl meets Twilight, with

You may well remember Joe Dante's werewolf movie The Howling, wherein Dee Wallace-Stone (the mum in E.T.!) played a woman being stalked by a terrifying killer who turns out to secretly be a werewolf. You probably don't remember its six sequels, but that's Ok because it's being rebooted with The Howling: Reborn, due out next Halloween.Joe Nimziki has written and will direct this new wolf story, making his directorial debut after a career as a marketing executive at studios including Sony and New Line. There's no word on the plot yet, but we're going to go out on a limb and guess that it involves people growing fur and fangs when the moon is full.Werewolves are, of course, so hot right now, and with another Twilight movie and The Wolf Man also due out this year, this is an idea whose time has arguably come.

New Editors Hired for The Wolfman; French Trailer Released

Buried deep inside a Variety piece, SlashFilm found news that Universal has hired editors Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now) and Mark Goldblatt (The Terminator) to recut Joe Johnston's The Wolfman.
The release date for The Wolfman has already been rescheduled several times, but the move to put the movie out in February was clearly done so that Murch and Goldblatt could have some time to fix things. The two editors likely will be cutting together footage from six weeks of reshoots completed over the summer, mostly supervised by second unit director Vic Armstrong.
Already, the work of the two editors has the movie looking more historic in the new French trailer, shown below ...:
Ok, we admit that's the trailer for the 1941 original. It might be a little while before any work from Murch and Goldblatt will be seen in trailers, if at all. The "new" French trailer is nothing

More Problems for "The Wolfman!" Composer Danny Elfman Has Left Production!

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!

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!

-- 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)

Elfman Out of 'The Wolf Man'

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

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

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?

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,

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.
