Mark Romanekwas originally attached to direct the film but left weeks before filming due to creative differences and budgetary issues. Johnston was hired four weeks before principal photography, under the impression he could shoot the film in 80 days as Universal intended. However, re-shoots extended production, inflated the budget, and delayed the film's release several times. The film underwent numerous alternative versions during post-production.Danny Elfmanwas briefly replaced byPaul Haslingeras the film's composer; however, the studio reverted to Elfman's previously completed score a month before the film's release after finding Haslinger's electronic-based score unsuitable.

The Wolfmanwas theatrically released on February 12, 2010, byUniversal Picturesto mixed reviews although the makeup received praise. The film was a financial failure, grossing $142.6 million against a production budget of $150 million. Despite the film's failure,Rick Bakerand make-up effects supervisorDave Elseywon theAcademy AwardforBest Makeupat the83rd Academy Awardsfor their work.

Plot

[edit]

In 1891, Ben Talbot is murdered in the woods of Blackmoor by ahumanoidwolf.His body is later found mutilated in aslaughterhouse.Ben's brother, actorLawrence Talbot,returns home after learning of what happened and reunites with his estranged father Sir John.

At a pub, Lawrence overhears the locals believing it to be a wild animal. However, many blame theRomanicamped outside Blackmoor. Another claims that there was a similar murder twenty-five years earlier; awerewolfwas the suspected killer. Lawrence tours his family's house, where his mother Solana seemingly died bysuicidewhen he was little. Lawrence saw Sir John standing over her dead body and was sent toLambeth HospitalinLondonfor a year, having suffered from delusions connected to the event.

Lawrence visits the Romani during afull moon.The townspeople, led by Constable Nye, raid the camp to confiscate adancing bearthey believe is the killer. The werewolf then attacks the camp, killing Nye, as well as some of the Romani and townspeople before biting Lawrence and escaping. Maleva, a Romani woman, sutures Lawrence's wounds. However, another Romani insists that the now-cursed Lawrence should be killed before he kills others. Maleva refuses, saying that only a loved one can release him.

After a night of feverish dreams, Lawrence recovers with unnatural speed and develops great vitality and heightened senses. Inspector Francis Aberline arrives to investigate, suspecting that Lawrence is responsible based on his mental history. Terrified of harming Gwen Conliffe, who used to be Ben's fiancée and is staying with the Talbots, Lawrence sends her to London. It is apparent that there is a growing romantic tension between them. He follows Sir John to Solana'scrypt.There, Sir John locks himself in a room and gives Lawrence a cryptic warning. Lawrence turns into a werewolf before running off into the woods and killing hunters.

The next morning, Aberline and the police arrest Lawrence. Taken back to Lambeth, Lawrence is subjected to hellish treatments both mental and physical overseen by the sadistic Dr. Hoenneger. Sir John visits Lawrence; explaining that twenty-five years before, during a hunting expedition in the Hindukush inIndia,he was bitten by a boy infected withlycanthropy.Sir John was the werewolf who bit Lawrence and is responsible for the recent murders, including Solana and Ben. He made Singh lock him up every full moon night and contemplated suicide for years. Now insane, Sir John has come to embrace his curse and has decided to let himself loose during his transformations. Knowing the moon will be full, he leaves a razor in case Lawrence contemplates suicide.

By nightfall, Dr. Hoenneger conducts a lecture with Lawrence as a case study. Lawrence attempts to warn the attendees of the impending danger, to no avail. Transforming once more, Lawrence kills Dr. Hoenegger and some orderlies before escaping and going on a rampage. The next day, Lawrence visits Gwen's antique shop for help. They admit their love for each other and kiss. Aberline waits outside Talbot Hall, arming himself and accompanying policemen with silver bullets. Gwen searches for Maleva hoping to cure Lawrence. However, Maleva says that there is not any cure and Lawrence must die.

Lawrence arrives at Talbot Hall, where Sir John has killed Singh and one of Aberline's men. He loads a gun with Singh's silver bullets and attempts to shoot Sir John. However, he realizes too late that Sir John had removed the powder from the cartridges years before. As the two struggle, the full moon arises and the Talbots transform into werewolves. During their fight, they set Talbot Hall on fire. Lawrence eventually decapitates Sir John. Gwen and Aberline then arrive, and Lawrence attacks Aberline, biting him. Gwen picks up Aberline's pistol and flees into the nearby woods.

Still in his werewolf form, Lawrence pursues Gwen and corners her above a gorge. She pleads with Lawrence, and his consciousness recognizes her. The police and hunters approach, distracting Lawrence long enough for Gwen to fatally shoot him with Aberline's gun. Lawrence reverts to human form, thanking Gwen for setting him free, and dies in her arms. Meanwhile, a horrified Aberline watches the full moon come into view.

Cast

[edit]

Max von Sydowappears as an elderly man who gives Lawrence the wolf-head cane; his part was cut from the theatrical film but is restored in the unrated director's cut.[3]Make-up effects creatorRick Bakermakes a cameo appearance as the Romani man who is the first killed.[4]The Wolfman's howl incorporated elements from rock singersGene SimmonsandDavid Lee Roth,as well as opera singers and animal impersonators.[5][6]

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]
Joe Johnstonwas hired as director in February 2008, replacingMark Romanek,who exited the film due to creative differences.

In March 2006,Universal Picturesannounced the remake ofThe Wolf Manwith actor Benicio del Toro, a huge fan of the original and collector ofWolf Manmemorabilia, in the lead role.[7][8]ScreenwriterAndrew Kevin Walkerwas attached to the screenplay, developing the original film's story to include additional characters as well as plot points that would take advantage of modern visual effects.[9]Del Toro also looked towardsWerewolf of LondonandThe Curse of the Werewolffor inspiration.[10]

In February 2007, directorMark Romanekwas attached to helmThe Wolfman.[9]Romanek's original vision was to "infuse a balance of cinema in a popcorn movie scenario", stating, "When there’s a certain amount of money involved, these things make studios and producers a little nervous. They don’t necessarily understand it or they feel that the balance will swing too far to something esoteric, and we could never come to an agreement on the right balance for that type of thing. Ultimately it made more sense for them to find a director that was gonna fulfill their idea of the film that they wanted, and we just sort of parted ways."[11]

In January 2008, Romanek left the project because of creative differences.[12]Brett Ratneremerged as a frontrunner to replace Romanek, but the studio also met withFrank Darabont,James MangoldandJoe Johnston.They were also interested inBill Condon,andMartin Campbellwas interested.[13]Johnston was hired to direct on 3 February 2008, and the film's shooting schedule and budget remained as intended.[14]Johnston hiredDavid Selfto rewrite the script.[15]

Filming

[edit]

Shooting took place from 3 March to 23 June 2008, inBritain.[16]At that time the film was budgeted at US$85 million.[12]They shot atPinewood StudiosinBuckinghamshire,ChatsworthinDerbyshireandCastle CombeinWiltshire.[17]They transformedChatsworth Houseby adding weeds, dead grass and ivy.[18]They also shot inLacockin Wiltshire, a village conserved by theNational Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty,for a day (the butcher's barn and external shots). Universal donated£5,000 to the village, in return for filming in thetithe barnfor a scene involving frozen corpses.[19]A funeral scene was also shot beside the Temple of Ancient Virtue atStowe House,with the temple coated in false ivy and copious amounts of smoke/mist floating over the setting. There were also scenes filmed onDartmoor,Devonat Foggintor Quarry.Pick-upsat Pinewood were conducted in May 2009.[20]

The cast and crew were back on location re-shooting the film in the grounds of theOld Royal Naval Collegeand park inGreenwichover the weekends of 22-25 and 30–31 May 2009. The purpose of the re-shoots was to change the way one werewolf looked in the film. Previously, it stood on two legs, but now, it stands on four. Also, an action scene was added between "the Wolf Man and the Werewolf" according tosecond unit directorVic Armstrong.[21]

Visual effects

[edit]
Rick Baker chose to keep his version faithful to the originalJack Piercedesign, getting as close as possible.

Rick Bakercreated the make-up forThe Wolfman.When he heard Universal was remaking the film, he eagerly pursued it, as bothThe Wolf ManandFrankensteininspired him to become a make-up artist as a child. He acknowledged transforming del Toro was not difficult because he is a hairy man: "Going from Benicio to Benicio as the Wolf Man isn't a really extreme difference. Like when I didAn American Werewolf in London,we went from this naked man to a four-legged hound from Hell, and we had a lot of room to go from the transformation and do a lot of really extreme things. Here we have Benicio del Toro, who's practically the Wolf Man already, to Benicio del Toro with more hair and bigger teeth. "[22]

Baker and del Toro were adamant about the design resembling the make-up created byJack Piercefor the 1941 film, but Romanek went through thousands of concept art renderings. When Johnston signed on, Baker returned to his second design, which is the finished result.[23]The make-up took three hours to apply, and one hour to remove. New pieces oflatexprosthetic makeupand loose hair was applied to del Toro's face each day, while severaldenturesand wigs were created in case some were damaged.[22]Baker said the transformation would likely be computer-generated, which disappointed him as he would not be involved and felt it would look unrealistic (as the animators did not have his knowledge of the design).[24]Director Joe Johnston explained that joining the film three weeks before photography placed limitations on his ability to film without using CG effects. He has stated, “I recognised that there were things that I was going to be able to do from the beginning to the end, and things that I had to rely on post-production for." In reference to filming Benicio del Toro's actual transformation into the Wolfman, Johnston further explained, "I decided to basically shoot just Benicio, in the sequence where he transforms and decide in post-production what I wanted the transformation to be. That was really my main reason [for using CG]; it gave me so much more flexibility."[25]In February 2009,ZBrushart of the transformation by Baker leaked online.[26]In addition to the film, at the 2009Halloween Horror Nights,Universal Studios FloridaaddedThe Wolfmanto the event.[27]

Music

[edit]
Main article:The Wolfman (soundtrack)

Danny Elfmanwas initially reported to have written a dark, melodic, and moody score forThe Wolfman,which was rejected by the studio as it did not fit the film well after being edited over half-an-hour in length. Due to Elfman being unable to return for scoring the film, as he was contractually obligated to work onTim Burton'sAlice in Wonderland(2010),Paul Haslingerreplaced him and subsequently wrote a contemporary electronic score, which the studio felt inappropriate for the late 19th-century Gothic setting.[28]Elfman's previously recorded original score is, as a result, the one that is used in the final film.[29]His version ofThe Wolfmanscore was officially released on 23 February.[30]

Release

[edit]

Merchandising

[edit]

Several companies were involved in the merchandising of the film. Rubies Costumes produced both child and adult costumes. Because such costumes are sold to retailers months in advance, the Halloween costumes came out in 2009 since the film being pushed back to 2010 happened after the costumes had been shipped to retailers.[31]Mezco Toyzproduced 7 inch and 12 inch tall Wolfman action figures.[32]They also produced replicas of the medallion from the film.[33]In early January 2010, Mezco Toyz donated the prototypes of the toys to theMuseum of the Moving ImageinNew York.[34]A novelization byJonathan Maberrywas released on February 2, 2010, to coincide with the DVD re-release ofthe 1941 film.

Theatrical

[edit]

The film was delayed several times during production and was previously scheduled to be released on November 14, 2008,[35]February 13, 2009,[36]April 3, 2009,[36]and November 6, 2009.[37][38]The film's first trailer was attached toInglourious Basterds,released on August 21, 2009. The film was released on some European markets on February 10 and 11, 2010.[39]

Home media

[edit]

The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on June 1, 2010. Both editions include the theatrical cut and an extended cut, restoring 17 minutes into the film.[40]The Blu-ray Disc's special features include featurettes on the making of the film, including two alternate endings. The only special features included on the standard DVD are deleted and extended scenes.Best Buyreleased an exclusive 2-Disc DVD set that includes a bonus disc featuring most of the BD special features. Upon the Blu-ray's release, viewers had the opportunity to streamthe original 1941 film.

In the United States and Canada, the DVD grossed $21.8 million and the Blu-ray grossed $5.9 million, totaling $27.8 million in domestic video sales.[2]

Extended cut

[edit]

The DVD/Blu-ray releases include an "unrated director's cut", featuring an additional 17 minutes of footage and the inclusion of the classic '40s era Universal logo at the beginning of the film.[42]Johnston said the reason for deleting the 17 minutes from the theatrical cut was "to push the story along so that audiences would get to the first Wolfman transformation sooner".[43]The extra footage contains the origin of the silver cane-sword and also the uncredited and completely removed part played byMax von Sydow,who was the original owner of the cane. The character indicates that he obtained it inGévaudan,aFrenchprovince where, in the 18th century, villagers were attacked by an unknown beast known as theBeast of Gévaudan.Though Max von Sydow's credit is absent from the theatrical cut, there is still a credit for "Assistant to Mr. von Sydow".
