Del Toro To Play Wolf Man
Traffic Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro is set to play a classic movie monster in the big screen remake of The Wolf Man. The Sin City actor will star in and co-produce the new version of the horror film. Like the original film, which starred Lon Chaney Jr., the remake will be set in Victorian England. Se7en writer Andrew Kevin Walker has started working on the script for the film. Shooting is scheduled to begin early next year, once Del Toro completes work on the Che Guevara biopic Guerrilla. The film will be released in 2008.
Gee, that's great and all. He'll be great, but they'd better substitute an ending that isn't fucking terrible. The ending to the original Wolfman is number 3 on my top 6 most hated movie endings ever. These aren't like "sad endings" because a sad ending is a sad ending. These are endings that make me hate the whole movie. As I think of more I'll probably edit this thing, but these four made me want to throw stuff at my screen (number one is of course, the one that bugs me the most)
1. Mulholland Drive. As soon as it happened I said I would never watch another David Lynch movie. Honestly, I got it, yeah. When I tell people I hate it (my characters tell Naomi Wattses that they hate it!), they ask me if I get it as if I'm dumb. Yes, I get it. And I fucking hated it.
2. The Pledge. I guess it could be called irony, but why do you have to lay it on so fucking THICK? Come on now! That was absolutely horrible. It makes me grind my teeth when I think of it.
3. The Wolfman. The last line in the movie made me stare at it wide eyed and open mouthed. The resolution was nothing. The end result was terrible, and it makes me think of what the people thought of when it came out.
4. Unbreakable. I'm sorry, but I don't like M. And I will continue to dislike M., for his one trick pony-ness, but this was the first of his movies that I actually sort of liked. I wasn't and will never be a fan of his, if he continues the surprise ending thing, but I think this was his biggest let down, especially when they gave Samuel L. Jackson Sidney Poitier's line from In the Heat of the Night.
5. The Matrix Trilogy. You made me sit through all of this type of submerged religious content for that ending? For a fifteen minute death scene with Carrie Anne Moss? We out here in the trenches knew you two could do better than that.
6. Revenge of the Sith. Honestly now, I've said it before and I'll say it many more times, that the only redeemable quality about any of these movies, the new ones, is Ewan McGregor. And I know the ending was pre-determined and everything, but and maybe it's because I knew what was coming, and maybe this is more of a "I had to get through this to see this?" thing, but honestly, it was horribly boring. I guess you couldn't consider it an end, than a middle, but man, the class level in these is nowhere near where the "next three" are. I think I know what it is that made me hate it the most: The scene where he makes it seem as if Darth Sidious has just unleashed a Frankenstein lookalike.
