The Wolfman Trailer (2010)
Lawrence Talbot’s 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, 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 has come to investigate. As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself-one he never imagined existed.

Benicio Del Toro Goes Old School For Wolf Man
From MTV Movies Blog:
Earlier this year, Emily Blunt insisted that the Joe Johnston-helmed, “The Wolf Man,” would not be your average campy monster movie. “It’s a period gothic Werewolf story,” she told MTV. “It’s really good, it’s really smart.”
Now we’ve heard from the monster himself, star Benicio Del Toro, and he echoes this authenticity sentiment. The actor who will play Lawrence Talbot (the man who eventually turns into a wolf) and says the production is kicking it old school, vintage style.
“[When I did my research], I definitely looked at what Lon Chaney Jr. did in the original ‘Wolf Man’ and the movie,” Del Toro told MTV News. “I also looked at the ‘Werewolf of London,’ the Henry Hull movie, which was made maybe 6 years before in 1935, and looked ‘Curse of the Werewolf’ with Oliver Reed.”
New Still From The Wolf Man
Today Empire Online got their hands on the first real stills from the film besides the promo stuff that we received awhile back with Benicio del Toro all wolfed out. We get to see Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and del Toro all in one shot in character. It is also the first look we get at del Toro sans make-up. Click on the link above to see the full image.
Based on the 1941 classic of the same name, The Wolfman tells of Lawrence Talbot, an actor (Del Toro) who returns to the home of his estranged father (Hopkins) after the death of his brother. Familial awkwardness becomes the least of his problems when he is attacked and bitten by a wolf and quickly takes on hairy, toothy qualities whenever the moon rises. Emily Blunt plays Gwen Conliffe, a woman for whom Lawrence develops an affection and who, to further complicate matters, was the fiancee of his brother. All is not chirpy in the Talbot household.
