More on that Wolf Man casting

From Iwatchstuff, "Benicio Del Toro to Play Wolf Man
To further the continuing chain of unnecessary Hollywood remakes, Universal has decided to update the Lon Chaney horror classic The Wolf Man, with Benicio Del Toro playing the title role.

Seven scribe Andrew Kevin Walker has begun writing the script. Scott Stuber, Rick Yorn, Mary Parent and Del Toro will produce. 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.
To prepare himself for the role, Del Toro will continue looking like a creepy wolf man."
