The Wolfman No Longer Getting A Sequel; Reboot Rumored To Be In The Works!

I hate this reboot craze....fair enough a reboot of something released yonks ago maybe worth a watch, but something only released a couple years ago? WHY? If it was shit or didn't gain enough attention, then it's a sign you should stop there....some of these producers are brainless!

If you dont use Wolfman in the title somewhere (Curse of the Wolfman??) its hard to have any connection to the original Universal classic.

I dunno I guess I am old or something but when I was a kid they didnt have so called reboots, we just called them a remake. That or they just kept going making new ones like James Bond.

Hollywood is too afraid anymore to make movies that are orginal. They have to grave rob the past or get something with a definite built in audience.

I didnt hate the 2009 version but I didnt like it and expected more. But if your going to call a movie just werewolf then just make it origninal with all new characters.

I WAS HOPING TO SEE HUGO WEAVING COME BACK...

This actually sounds more like an entirely different movie than it does a reboot, which makes it okay. I'll probably wait for DVD like I did the last one. Am I the only one that found the 2009 remake to be boring as hell?

this is still the best werewolf film & transformation.

^^AGREE^^

The Wolfman had lots of potential and im pretty sure if Mark Romanek would have made it like originally was planned it would have been great!

Hopkins and Del Toro were perfect choices as the father and son but they should have made them both good guys!
It would have been great to see Del Toro change into evil Wolfman which his father Hopkins has to kill to save his son´s soul. That would have been epic!:)
They missed a mother[frick]ing big chance to make a great movie!

If they are going to make another reboot? I say forget it and bring Werewolf Tv-Series to the big screen!
Or remake Stephen King´s Silver Bullet aka The Cycle Of The Werewolf!

Or then again bring The Tomb Of Dracula or Werewolf By Night to the big screen! That would be epic!:)

@shadowelfz

The Wolfman had a 150 mil budget and only brought in 142 mil. In what world is that successful?

I loved The Wolfman, it was like the classic just with better effects.

The Wolfman 2010 remake wasn't that bad. If you want to see a sad excuse of a film in 2010, review "Jonah Hex".

I hate the word reboot so much I turn my computer off then on. I don't reset it anymore just to protest.

face it.....creative minds in hollywood are dead....rebooting is all they know now. pure laziness.

LordHuck- I stand corrected. Making less than production costs could not qualify as a success. I must have been thinking of another film. Thanks for pointing that out.

Even still, rebooting a reboot after only two years seems like a little much.

Pitty. I loved that movie.

Really there rebooting it again already

@krypton38 Looks like I struck a nerve. I like Spider-Man 1 & 2, but Spider-Man 3 was horrible, but that's not why I think the series should go reboot (in fact that never crossed my mind to begin with). In fact I wanted the series to end there plain and simple. 4th one would be overdoing it. At first I was shocked that they were rebooting the series, because no matter how bad Spidey 3 was, the first two would always be superior films imo. But once I thought it over, I think it was a great idea to start fresh, to do it differently, and actually stick some what more closely to the comics (not saying the original series didn't, well they kinda screwed it up, but nothing major). For example I always thought Gwen should've been Peter's first love in the movies, but MJ was just fine anyways. I'm not like those people who just say reboot this or reboot that, and don't reboot this or that. That never crosses my mind. Right now they're thinking of rebooting Batman after The Dark Knight Rises, and I think that's a horrible idea, because you know why? They already did it perfect, why fix something that wasn't broken? So I'm not looking forward to that. I just want to see the characters done justice on screen, and if they can't then just let it be. Like I said, I am perfectly fine with the Raimi Spidey films being the only Spidey series (even though at some points they could've done a lot better, but overall it's enjoyable series at best), even if they made a 4th one, because I would still see it. But since they're rebooting it there are so many things they can explore from Spidey's early years for a new generation. I felt like the Raimi series ended good where they left at. To be honest I can't see the story going anywhere else after that, but that doesn't mean the series needed to be rebooted. But it's Hollywood for ya, they always need to keep beating the dead horse until it bleeds and dry. Goes the same with the Nightmare series. One or three were good enough. Now I never said The Nightmare on Elm Street films were great, but that didn't mean they should go into remaking it. They overkilled it (which we both can agree on), even with the remade version, like Lions Gate did to the Saw movies. It just didn't need to be done. Sure, they restarted it to start fresh just like the Spidey reboot, but they were reusing so much out of the previous movies, it wasn't like they were trying to be original but instead bring back what made the other movies so crappy. And some of them weren't crap, but they didn't need to reuse the same scenes to create a movie. Sure we might be getting an origin story for the Spidey reboot, but after all that it's going to be completely different than the first movie. There are much more opportunities for this new Spidey series, and as for the Nightmare series, not so much. So yeah I know what I'm talking about, and if I jumbled a few sentences here and there and don't make sense, that's just me and my opinion. Idk what you got against me dude.
