The Wolf Man Takes His Time

The Benicio Del Toro vehicle The Wolf Man is late. It’s very late. It’s so late, in fact, it needs a new word for late.

The would-be blockbuster was supposed to come out in April, right, and, I guess, at one point it was moved to November. Now comes word that the movie’s not arriving in theaters until Feb. 12, although a trailer is due next month – it’ll debut before screenings of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

A Wolf Man producer said the date change is not a sign of a troubled production, but rather a decision meant to take advantage of a three-day holiday weekend.

Whatever it is this movie better howl but good, and without further delay.

I’m dying to see the delicious Emily Blunt on the big screen again – especially since The Young Victoria has yet to open stateside…and I stoopidly missed Sunshine Cleaning.

Wolf Man co-stars Anthony Hopkins as well, btw.

Update: It seems the movie’s now known as The Wolfman.
