Courtesy of Universal Pictures, here’s an advance look at their new Wolfman, from their upcoming The Wolfman film, currently scheduled for May 2009 release in the UK.
The make-up is the work of six-time Oscar-winning special effects artist Rick Baker, who has turned actor Benicio Del Toro into the deadly title character.
Inspired by the classic Universal Pictures film that launched a legacy of horror, the action-horror reclaims the myth of a man whose curse transforms him into something less than human to its iconic, cinematic origin.
