The Wolf Man Gets Hidalgo Director

One of the shining aspects of the upcoming remake of the classic 1941 The Wolf Man was director Mark Romanek as we told you when the film was first announced. He left the project over 'creative differences' and 'budget concerns' according to variety. Since then many names have been dropped as possible replacements and today from CHUD comes word the director will be Joe Johnston. Joe directed Hidalgo which was a great movie, and this will be his first Foray into the horror genre.

Benicio del Toro has long been attached as the title character, Larry Talbot. Recently added to the cast have been Anthony Hopkins as his father and Emily Blunt as the female lead. Be sure to keep it here and as soon as Romaneks replacement is announced we will let you know.
