Fans may cry up a storm if this news proves true. Universal is under rumors to be moving Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman starring Benicio del Toro from its April 2009 date to some time in the fall. At the San Diego Comic-Con, fans celebrated the studio’s option to take the piece back to the old fashion gothic horror approach with make-up artist extraordinaire Rick Baker. Stayed tuned for updates as they come in.

Summit Entertainment has announced that Sorority Row, the remake of 1983 The House On Sorority Row, is slated to hit theaters on October 2, 2009. Directed by Stewart Hendler from a script by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger, the cast includes Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Audrina Patridge, Carrie Fisher, Julian Morris, Leah Pipes, Margo Harshman, and Jamie Chung, in a tale about a sorority prank goes wrong and the culprits find themselves hunted by a mysterious killer.
New artwork for Universal’s The Wolfman remake has been stirring up quite some noise. Directed by Joe Johnston, the film stars Benicio Del Toro as Larry Talbot who unwittingly becomes the Wolfman. Emily Blunt, the damsel in distress, is also featured in one of the new art pieces. See Shock Till You Drop for more images. The Wolfman releases April 3, 2009.
Sam Raimi has been in the news taking on every project except The Evil Dead remake and a possible Evil Dead 4. Ok, that statement was out of frustration, but let’s face it, with Spider-Man 4 and 5 now filming next year over a six month span, it will be long due before we see any action.
Bruce Campbell is reportedly just as frustrated with the “all talk and no game” BS that’s been in play. In an interview with Toyfare, Campbell exclaims, “Look, let’s cut to the chase because you keep dancing around it. If you’re talking about Ash coming back again, Sam Raimi has the best perspective. He says, ‘Look, I can go back and do Ash vs. whoever whenever I want. I can do that when I’m 70; I don’t have to do that now. Right now I’m on a fast, fat groovy rain in Hollywood.’ And he’s going to follow that, and he’ll come back and to Evil Dead stuff when he’s unemployed and living at the Old Director’s Home.”
