    Del Toro Signs On for Universal Wolf Man Flick 

    Variety reports Benicio Del Toro will take on the title role in a new version of Universal Pictures The Wolf Man.

    Seven scribe Andrew Kevin Walker has begun writing the script. Scott Stuber, Rick Yorn, Mary Parent and Del Toro will produce. The studio owned the underlying rights to the character.

    Like the 1941 original that starred Lon Chaney Jr., new pic will be set in Victorian England. Del Toro will play a man who returns from America to his ancestral homeland, gets bitten by a werewolf and begins a hairy moonlight existence.

    Deal came out of a series of meetings with the producers, Walker and Del Toro, who collects Wolf Man memorabilia.

    Walker spent several months working on some frightening new twists to a familiar tale, adding several characters and plot points that take advantage of cutting-edge visual effects technology.

    Walker will turn in his first draft by the spring, and the producers and studio are optimistic that The Wolf Man will shoot early in 2007, after Del Toro completes Guerrilla, the Che Guevara film being directed by Steven Soderbergh.

    The expectation is that "The Wolf Man" will be a summer 2008 biggie.

    "Do you know what's Really Scary? You want to forget something. Totally wipe it off your mind. But you never can. It can't go away, you see. And... and it follows you around like a ghost."
    --Eun-ju, A Tale of Two Sisters

    'Well, we need to nip this thing in the bud. I mean, otherwise, things are going to get Really Scary.'
    --Cordelia Chase, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    'From here on, it gets Really Scary.'
    --Geoffrey Rush, House on Haunted Hill

    'Wanna see something Really Scary?'
    --Dan Aykroyd, Twilight Zone The Movie
