It looks like today is Trailer Day, after Fox released the first teaser trailer for Avatar earlier. Now Universal has released the first trailer for their Wolf Man reboot starring Benicio Del Toro. The film, which finished it’s production a few months ago, looks to be a pretty fair reinterpretation of the original Universal Monster movie.
Company favorite Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer, Jurassic Park 3) took the helm for this film, which is the last project he is doing before taking the director’s seat over at Marvel Studios for The First Avenger: Captain America. The writing team consisted of David Self (Road to Perdition) and Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en).
The film also stars Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving, Anthony Hopkins, along with Benicio Del Toro, who is doing an American accent for the first time. Check out the brand new trailer, courtesy of Yahoo Movies, after the jump.
Universal’s The Wolf Man hits theaters February 12 of next year.

August 20, 2009 at 3:20 pmI was avoiding this trailer because I thought it would look like a cheesy remake. But I thought about how well Universal does monster movies, so I said, okay I’ll check it out. Then I look at the cast: Benicio Del Toro, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving and Emily Blunt, and I realize this isn’t going to be some crappy monster movie. This is going to be serious, like Dracula(Gary Oldman) serious, and after watching the trailer I am more excited about this movie than Avatar.
