The Wolf Man Howling at the Moon This April 3, 2009

Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro), returns to his ancestral home to find his brother is missing in the backwoods of Blackmoor, Scotland. After reuiniting with his eccentric father (Anthony Hopkins), Talbot discovers personal secrets long forgotten. With the tragic death of his mother, Talbot slowly recovers from a long suffering childhood wound as the truth comes out. Now, it is time to find his brother while letting go of the past (Wild).

With villagers continuing to vanish into the dark of night Talbot, along with a strange Scotland Yard Detective (Hugo Weaving) boldly goes forth to find the source of the disappearances. Rumours of an ancient curse surface, but tales of werewolves, and full moons are not enough to deter these two. As a vicious wive's tale comes to life and out of the Blackmoor woods Talbot must find a more primal side of himself to take on this murderous beast (Wild).

Lady Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), the fiancé of Talbot's brother falls in love with his sibling, but with Talbot's loyalties torn between this beautiful young lass and his family, sparks will fly. A mythical creature threatens the woman Talbot is growing to love and this brother and son must turn his back on his family, temporarily to follow what it is in his heart (Wild).

Due to the late release date there is currently very little buzz over "The Wolf Man." However, make-up guru Rick Baker is stating that the scenes involving gypsies is the highlight of the movie. As well, there is some reporting about using regular make-up for the film rather than relying on computer generated images.
